intuition, and empowerment.
In this blog, we’ll uncover the true essence of Tarot reading, demystify its
misconceptions, and explore how you can integrate Tarot into your daily life. Get
ready to go beyond the card and dive into the mysteries of this ancient practice!
What Is Tarot Reading?
Tarot reading is the art of gaining knowledge about one’s past, present, or future by
using a deck of symbolic cards.
A conventional Tarot deck consists of 78 cards, divided into the Major and Minor
Arcana.
• The Major Arcana (22 cards) – Represents life and spiritual events.
• The Minor Arcana (56 cards) -Represent daily events and obstacles, split into four Suis: Cups, Pentacles, Swords, and Wands.
Each card has layers of symbolism, archetypes, and energy that a reader can use to shed light on an issue, circumstance, or personal reality.
Today, Tarot is used not just for fortune-telling, but as a medium for self-reflection,
therapy, coaching, and even creative inspiration.
How Does Tarot Reading Work?
One of the biggest misconceptions about Tarot is that it predicts a fixed future. In
reality, Tarot readings are not about fatalistic predictions but about exploring
possibilities, gaining insights, and tapping into your own inner wisdom.
Here’s how a typical reading works:
1. The Question: You (the querent) focus on a question or area of life you
seek clarity about.
2. The Spread: The reader selects a layout or “spread” — like the Celtic Cross
or Three-Card Spread — to organize the cards.
3. Interpretation: Each card’s position and symbolism are interpreted in
context with the question.
4. Guidance: The reader offers insights, reflections, and potential paths
forward.
Ultimately, Tarot empowers you to make conscious choices rather than predicting an
unavoidable destiny.
The Power of Intuition in Tarot
While learning traditional card meanings is important, the magic of Tarot lies in
intuition. A skilled reader doesn’t just memorize definitions; they tap into subtle
energies, feelings, and symbols that arise during a session.
Every Tarot reading is a co-creative process between the cards, the reader, and the
querent. The imagery sparks the subconscious mind, allowing hidden emotions, fears,
hopes, and desires to surface.
If you’re learning Tarot, trust your intuitive impressions! Often, your first instinctive
feeling about a card holds the most truthful message.
