Reading Tarot Cards – a Comprehensive Approach

Reading tarot cards is a pastime that has been done centuries ago, which determines possible outcomes and predictions of the future.  A tarot deck can come in different themes but is basically made up of the twenty-two major arcana cards and the fifty six minor arcana.  Since the early Christian European era, tarot reading was already being done and is still being practiced by aspiring and professional tarot readers today.

I personally have a Pythagorean deck, which differs from other decks as it has mathematical backgrounds incorporated with the cards’ meanings. Each card has its own meaning depending on how the tarot reader interprets the formation of the cards. But despite the difference in deck, reading tarot cards is done by interpreting the images or pictures that dominate the entire body of the card.

In reading tarot cards, the cards are placed in a formation called “spreads” which will allow the reader to predict a certain aspect of a person’s life.  Commonly used spreads include the Celtic spread, the horseshoe spread, 3-card spread, 1-card spread, the astrological spread, and the teractycs wherein ten cards are arranged in a four-rowed pyramid.  There are many other spreads aside from these which the tarot reader can use and arrange his cards the way he sees it fit.

If you have ever wanted to find some easy to follow tarot cards instructions then you have come to the right place. Many people want to learn more about the tarot and using tarot cards, but finding tarot cards instructions that are geared for beginners can be tricky, especially if you are unsure of what, exactly, tarot cards are for.

First here is some basic tarot card information: tarot cards are not going to predict the future. They aren’t going to give you answers from the cosmos. What tarot cards do is speak to your intuition.

Tarot cards are not going to tell you anything that some part of you doesn’t already know. The card can shed insight into a current situation or help you figure out answers to problems yourself. Keep that in mind as you read the following tarot card instructions.

1. Choose your tarot card deck carefully. This is not a normal deck of playing cards or a pack of trading cards that you are picking up. Each tarot card deck has its own energy and it is important to take your time in figuring out which deck you feel the most comfortable with. Look at the illustrations on the cards and pay attention to your senses. You will eventually find a deck that you feel a connection to and that is the deck you should purchase. (more…)

If you have never had a tarot reading before, you will find that an accurate tarot reading can be amazing and interesting. With an open mind, you can discover why so many people through the ages have found comfort and wisdom in the tarot card interpretations.

Preparing for a Reading

Some tarot readers will prepare for a reading before actually meeting with you. The tarot reader may perform some type of ritual or meditation before the reading to remove any distracting energies or thoughts that could interfere with the reading.

It is up to the tarot reader’s own personal feelings about their work when it concerns how they prepare for a tarot card reading, handle their deck or interpret the cards.

Which Tarot Deck to Read

Tarot readers will use the tarot deck of their choice. A tarot reader can choose to work any one or more of the numerous tarot decks available today. Many tarot card readers use more than one deck.

Other tarot card readers will rely on just one tarot deck. A tarot psychic may use more than one deck during a reading but usually only one deck per card spread. Some tarot psychics use a computer tarot program to produce their readings. (more…)

Many people are curious about reading Tarot cards for their friends and family. Once you have a deck of Tarot cards, it is only natural to want to use them with others.
