No. Tarot is a skill, not a gift — see "Can anyone read tarot?" for the full answer.

Yes — most readers learn by reading for themselves first. The discipline that matters is honesty: you will be tempted to read the cards as you want them to be, not as they are. Journal what you pull; the patterns and the self-deceptions both become obvious over time.
