Reading the Soul: 30 Things to Look For in Every Intuitive Session

When you’re giving an intuitive reading—whether it’s for a client, a friend, or even yourself—you’re not just pulling information out of thin air. You’re tapping into a living, breathing energetic field full of signs, symbols, and soul truths. But sometimes it’s hard to know exactly what to look for.

This guide is designed to help you go deeper. These are the 30 key areas to tune into during any reading, especially if you want to connect on a soul level, bring through clarity, and deliver messages that feel undeniably real.

Take your time. Breathe. Ask Spirit to show you what your client is ready to receive.

1. Their Current Energy Field

What’s the overall feel? Is it light, heavy, grounded, anxious? This tells you where they are vibrationally.

2. Their Aura

Tune into the color, size, texture, or movement of their aura. This reveals emotional and spiritual health.

3. Spirit Guides Present

Ask: “Who’s here for them today?” Guides often show up to assist in delivering clear messages.

4. Messages from Loved Ones in Spirit

If passed loved ones are around, tune into their energy and what they want to say. Their presence is almost always healing.

5. Inner Child

Does their inner child need healing, validation, or reconnection? This often comes up when they’re feeling lost or unseen.

6. Soul Purpose Right Now

What’s their purpose in this chapter of life? What’s calling to their spirit?

7. Major Life Transitions

Is a big shift unfolding? This could be a move, breakup, awakening, or rebirth.

8. Love Energy

What’s happening in their heart? Is it open, blocked, guarded, or longing?

9. Career or Abundance Vibration

Feel into their money field. Are they in alignment or resisting their worth?

10. Symbols and Visuals

Pay attention to the images that flash in your mind. Even if they seem random, they often hold deep truth.

11. Physical Body Messages

Are they holding pain or energy in their body? Neck, shoulders, stomach—each area tells a story.

12. Mental State

Is their mind calm, busy, racing, or foggy? This reveals how connected they are to their intuition.

13. Past Life Themes

Tune into other lifetimes influencing this one. Is there a loop repeating or a gift they’re reclaiming?

14. Current Soul Lessons

What are they learning right now? Where are they being stretched?

15. Connection to the Divine

Are they feeling spiritually supported? Or disconnected from Source?

16. Repeating Signs or Numbers

Are they seeing the same number, symbol, or dream over and over? What is Spirit trying to say?

17. Awakening Spiritual Abilities

Are their intuitive senses opening up—hearing, seeing, knowing, or feeling?

18. Animal Spirits

Are there any animal guides around? What do they represent right now?

19. Elemental Energies

Are they embodying fire (passion), water (emotion), earth (stability), or air (thought)? This helps with grounding or balance.

20. Relationship Energy

Tune into patterns in their connections. Are they attracting aligned relationships or lessons?

21. Throat and Voice Energy

What’s unsaid? What truth are they scared to speak?

22. Dream Messages

Is Spirit trying to speak to them through dreams? Offer space to explore recent ones.

23. Timeline Shifts

Are they at a crossroads or stepping into a new timeline? You may see potential paths opening.

24. Upgrades or Light Codes

Are they receiving energetic downloads or light body activations?

25. Protection Needs

Are they too open, ungrounded, or needing boundaries in their energy field?

26. Repeating Life Loops

Are they stuck in a karmic pattern or looping experience? What’s the root lesson?

27. Heart Energy

Is the heart guarded, grieving, or glowing? This is often the center of all guidance.

28. Soul Contracts

Who in their life is tied to a deeper contract—teacher, mirror, or lesson?

29. Spiritual Allies

Who’s walking with them unseen? Angels, ancestors, masters? Ask them to make their presence known.

30. Higher Self Messages

What does their higher self want them to remember, embody, or release today?

Every intuitive reading is sacred. The more you tune in, the more Spirit speaks. Remember—you don’t have to know everything. You just have to be present, open, and willing to share what comes through.
