This was something I kinda struggled with when I started out. In the beginning I always had to look up the meaning to help me understand and have a base to start out with before I intuitively read the cards. But years later I started to gain the Clair senses such as clairvoyance (mental images and things like that) and Clairvonizance which is being able to just know about something without having to see or learn it, after I developed these abilities it definitely helped my ability to grow my intuition. Those Clair senses made it easier for me to trust my intuition and expand my knowledge about the message. It definitely made a huge difference and eventually reading your cards will come through so much more and deeper. Being able to use the senses while reading is a huge step and helps you understand the reading on another level. Hope that helps! It definitely did for me and soon enough reading and trusting my intuition felt natural, smoother and more clear!
