The simplest way to ask the tarot cards a yes/no question would be to throw one tarot card, and if it lands upright, the answer is yes, if it lands reversed, the answer is no. However, a little more effort should be expended to ensure a more accurate and helpful answer. There is a bit more to doing even a simple tarot card reading, as we will see below.

First of all, the one-card method works differently if you use rectangular cards that can only land upright or reversed. On the plus side, this tarot reading will provide you with a simple yes or no answer. However, as most situations are not 100% likely to occur, this style restrains how accurate the tarot cards can be and also how much information the tarot cards can provide for the reader. Because I use circular cards, a one-card toss gives me 360 degrees of freedom from yes to uncertain to no.

The second issue that arises when one does a tarot reading with one card, is that usually you need to see more than one card to understand anything about what is going on. Remember, a tarot reading is always about energy, and energy is always in motion: there is more movement in two cards, which can interact, than one card. That is why usually I place at least three cards if I wish to ask the tarot cards a yes/no question. If all three cards are upright, or mostly upright, and all cards are positive, the answer is yes. If two cards land upright, your answer is that it is probable, and the tarot reader should also look at which tarot cards landed in which direction (and the querrent should be wary to stay in the positive to ensure the desired result). If no tarot cards land upright, the answer is not likely, or no. The answer also is no or not likely if all cards land reversed, or all cards are negative-energy cards.

Generally, a tarot card reader will find that she rarely places three upright, positive-energy cards. This makes sense because few situations are absolutely certain to occur. Usually when one seeks guidance from the tarot cards, the situation is either uncertain or complex; and, will require an inquiry into which cards land in response to the question, as well as whether or not the cards land upright or reversed. Remember, a tarot card reader will receive the most accurate and helpful information from the tarot when the question asked of the tarot is very clear and focused.

Now you have a simple, one or three-card layout you can use to receive guidance from the tarot cards with a yes/no question. If the question cannot be answered by a yes or a no, the most popular tarot card layout probably would be the cross, also known as the Celtic Cross. The cross layout will be discussed in my next article. Check back soon for another lesson into reading tarot cards.

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.

The Card Interpretation Depends on the Tarot Reader

In order to serve you well, it is important that the tarot reader have a personal interpretation for each card of the deck. In this way, the tarot reader is more fluent with the cards when they appear in the card spread.

The tarot reader is able recall these interpretations and traditional card interpretations rather quickly and is able to form insight into a situation through the cards.

Questions for the Cards

Questions can be asked that are specific or general. A specific question could ask what the questioner can do to improve their job situation while a more general question would ask about the status of the questioner’s health, mind and spirit in relation to their job.

Your question can concern any area of your life as long as you are comfortable talking about it and the tarot card reader is comfortable discussing it with you.

Match the Question With a Card Spread

There are different card spreads to match different portions of the question. Card spreads can be customized so that card positions represent specific aspects of the situation. Many tarot readers will have a variety of card spreads, which they can use to help you. There are also traditional and favorite card spreads, such as the 3 Fates or the Celtic Cross.

There are more complex card spreads involving many cards such as the 24 card Astrology Spread that gives insight into the 12 main areas of your life. There are hundreds of card spreads involving from one card to dozens of cards.

Your tarot card reader will interpret the cards in their position of the card spread. The reader will develop an overview of your situation based on the combination of cards that appear in the spread. It takes practice and study for a tarot card reader to be able to perform this service in an expedient way.

Making a Connection

The virtual tarot cards reading has come alive in the age of the Internet. These modern psychic readings seem to work just fine according to readers and their questioners.

Unlike other occult arts, which have not all benefited from modern technology, many psychics are finding that they can connect with their computer in much the same metaphysical way that happens with their Tarot cards.

Laying the Cards Down

For many tarot card psychics, a subtle signal is received when the time is right to lay the tarot cards down. It could be a tingle in the hands or a strong feeling that the tarot cards should be laid in their formation. For computerized tarot card readers, they are finding that with the right intent and concentration, tarot card software is capable of delivering amazingly accurate tarot readings.

Psychic Connection With the Computer

Some tarot psychics say that they can feel a subtle connection with their keyboard while using the keyboard during psychic readings. The ability to use different forms of an occult tool is similar to what some divination practitioners experience with the art of scrying. Scryers use liquid or flattened surfaces to activate their clairvoyant abilities.

Even a Virtual Tool Is Better Than Nothing

With practice, some scryers are able to divine from puddles or whatever surface is handy. In the same way, tarot card readers are adapting their tarot card skills that they use with the tarot cards to the computer and keyboard. It seems to be that as long as the tarot card reader can connect with their tool of choice that accurate readings are possible even with computers.

The tarot psychic may use a software program that the psychic has downloaded to their computer. Other tarot psychics may use an online tarot software tool that the psychic accesses from their web browser. A tarot psychic will choose the software that uses the tarot cards that the tarot reader prefers to use. A tarot psychic may use different programs for more tarot card options.

When a tarot psychic uses the computer for tarot card readings, the results can be sent to the questioner through the phone, email, instant messages, text and snail mail. The computer adds a level of convenience for both the tarot psychic and the questioner. They can use the computer and the Internet to replace a more cumbersome face-to-face visit.

No Distractions Enhances Mental And Psychic Abilities

There are virtual tarot card readers who claim that when they are not distracted by the questioner’s body language or close presence, they are able to draw more information from the virtual tarot cards. In this way, the tarot reader may be able to give objective information because the tarot card reader is not influenced by the questioner. This allows the psychic to answer questions truthfully without being influenced to soften or temper what the cards say according to what the client may want to hear.

Whether it is through a computer program or actual tarot cards, good tarot card readers have a skill for reading and interpreting tarot cards. Tarot card readers are able to channel their psychic abilities through clear intention and the desire to help the questioner. Just as other workers have favorites among the tools that they use, so do tarot card readers make a choice from the virtual and hard copy tarot deck options that are available to them.

Whether we admit or not, most of us have quaint notions of what tarot cards are. On the surface, they are merely a deck of illustrated cards used in predictions, while the tarot card reader is an eccentric person dressed in robes seated behind the fortune-telling booth in the town fair.

This image of tarot cards is, of course, clichéd, and yet we’d rather feel comfortable with its familiarity than dig deeper.

We resort to the more convenient explanation rather than actually investigate the sometimes unpleasant yet gratifying truth of tarot cards.

Perhaps, the most famous among the tarot cards is the Death Card, a card quite unfairly invested with too much negative meanings and energies behind it, so much so that we usually think of tarot cards as tools of the occult, vehicles of evil even. While we can’t deny the fact that indeed tarot can be used for such purposes, tarot cards can also be perfectly well-intentioned and can be actually used for good causes.

As a matter of fact, the earliest use of tarot cards in fifteenth century Italy was as a game, much like a deck of regular playing cards but with the addition of trump cards. It wasn’t until late 17th or 18th century that tarot cards began to take on a more serious role in divination.

Over the years, the pictures in the tarot cards, their rich symbolisms, procedures, purposes, and meanings evolved in such a way that the characters portrayed in them have come to mirror all our follies, fears, strengths, and hopes. By stringing them together into a tale, we are able to retell and uncover the past as we would have liked it unfold, as well as get a sense of a manageable future we can feel safe with.

A radical and inevitable shift indeed for tarot cards from a simple game to life-changing therapy.

Carl Jung, a world renowned psychologist has always considered tarot as an alternative psychotherapy. By utilising the rich imagery encapsulated in every tarot card, we are able to voice out our concerns, look into our past, and prepare for the future.

In some cases, children who don’t yet know how to speak can use the images and characters in the tarot deck to piece together their thoughts and tell their story. Tarot cards then offer an alternative language system through which we can bring our Unconscious up to the light.

Jung explains that tarot cards represent different archetypes of human personality and situations. The Death Card then is not just simplistically a dreary card foretelling iretractable death to the querent (person who asks questions in a tarot card reading). Rather, the death card can be seen as the death, an end of something inside us: a vice, long standing pain, bad habits, sorrow, signaling rebirth.

We do not just blindly pick out cards from the tarot deck. Every moment of our lives we are armed with choices, choices that spell out and define our fate. It’s not just what you keep out from your life that matters; it’s also what you allow to make a difference. Even if they’re just a deck of tarot cards.
