What is a Tarot Reading?
A Tarot Reading is usually done by a professional Tarot reader, this person can help someone gain more insight into their past, present or future. This can be done by arranging a Tarot card deck in a certain order and asking a question. The order in which the Tarot cards are laid, are very specific to the situations someone is trying to gain insight into, this order is called a Tarot Spread. A simple example of a Tarot reading, which is done daily by those who are into Tarot readings, is the 3 card spread. Here 3 cards are randomly selected out of a Tarot deck and laid evenly on a flat surface. The reader then assigns each of the cards a question. Common questions include: What does my yesterday reveal about me? (Card 1), What does today have in store for me? (Card 2) and Will I have a successful day? (Card 3). This is a relatively simple format for a Daily Tarot Reading. After the questions have been assigned, the reader can start to turn the cards, to find out about the meanings. Tarot Cards have specific meanings, so if Card 1 reveals Justice (Major Arcana, 11), it may signify that you’ve always been an honest person and seek to find justice for yourself and others. If Card 2 reveals The Sun (Major Arcana, 19) it may signify that today is going to be full of contentment. And lastly if Card 3 reveals the 3 of Wands, it may signify that you will be someone full of determination. This is quite a simple Tarot Reading, it can be done by anyone who wants to gain more insight into their past, present and future on a frequent basis. On the other end of the scale, there are more complex Tarot readings. These more complex readings include readings for career decisions or friendships.
What you’ll need to do your own Tarot readings:
- A deck of Tarot Cards
- A handful of questions you want to gain insight into
What is a Tarot Love Reading?
A tarot card reading can also help you gain insight into your love life and current relationship. Depending on which cards you use, the spread of the cards and the questions, you can reveal more about you. Some Lover tarot spreads only require you to use the 22 Major Arcana, only the 56 Minor Arcana or to use the entire deck. This depends on the type of questions you seek answer to and whether you just want answers or perhaps advice.
A widely used Love Tarot spread is the relationship timelapse spread. The reader places places four cards from the entire deck, at the 3 ‘o clock, 6 ‘o clock, 9 ‘o clock and 12 ‘o clock positions. Starting with the 3 ‘o clock cards, a question about why it is that you and your significant other met is commonly used. At the 6’o clock you can try to ask why it is that you and your partner are still together. At the 9 ‘o clock you can try to gain insight into what will keep you and your partner together, as to not grow apart from each other. At the 12 ‘o clock you can ask about how you can work towards this shared future, this would be advice. This is also a relatively simple Tarot spread up until interpreting what the cards actually mean. Luckily this challenge is greatly reduced by only using the 22 Major Arcana cards. These cards have keywords attached to them, it’s a good idea to read the keywords first and try to find out why and how it fits in your situation. For example if the first card you pull is The Sun, at the 3 ‘o clock question (why did you meet your significant other). This may be because you both were doing something individually that brought you happiness. This common activity became the reason you got closer, and as time passed you did this together, which lead to you falling in love. The keywords attached to the Sun are happiness, fortunate marriage and wellness. The art of Tarot reading lies in the interpretation, so whatever comes to your mind first is a thought you should work out, instead of passing on it.
