Tarot reading is an ancient spiritual practice, using a unique deck of cards to gain an understanding of various life aspects. It emerged in 15th-century Europe and was later recognized as a tool for divination and guidance, particularly by the Romani people.
A tarot reading unfolds the secrets of your subconscious, providing solutions to personal issues, unveiling hidden aspects of situations, and offering guidance on your life's path. It can also contribute to personal development by boosting your intuition and self-awareness.
In historical context, tarot cards have been revered as significant divination tools. From the noble courts of Renaissance Italy to the enchanting caravans of Romani fortune-tellers, the tarot has been a beacon of guidance and prophecy for centuries.
The tarot deck is a beautifully curated collection of 78 cards, categorised into two main groups known as the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana.
The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards, each symbolising a profound life event or phase. These cards don't represent the routine happenings of everyday life; instead, they depict significant milestones and spiritual lessons we encounter on our life journey. They carry powerful messages and profound meanings. From "The Fool," representing new beginnings, to "The World," symbolising fulfilment, each Major Arcana card has a story and lesson to teach.
On the other hand, the Minor Arcana comprises 56 cards that deal with the nitty-gritty of our day-to-day life. They are divided into four suits—Cups, Swords, Wands, and Pentacles—each corresponding to a specific aspect of human life. Cups generally relate to emotions and relationships, Swords to thoughts and conflicts, Wands to actions and creativity, and Pentacles to material parts and work.
For instance, the "Three of Cups" typically denotes celebration and friendship, while the "Ten of Swords" might suggest betrayal or the end of a difficult period.
Here's a simple guide on how to start.
Before anything else, familiarise yourself with the tarot deck. A standard deck consists of 78 cards divided into Major and Minor Arcana. Spend time with each card, observe the imagery, symbols, colours, and how they resonate with you.
Each card in a tarot deck has its unique meaning, which can change depending on its position (upright or reversed) in a spread. Start by learning the Major Arcana's fundamental purposes, then gradually move onto the Minor Arcana. There are plenty of books and online resources to assist you with this.
Tarot reading is not just about understanding the standard meanings of the cards but also tuning into your intuition. Meditation can be a powerful tool to help develop your intuitive abilities. Pay attention to your initial reaction or emotions when you draw a card. Trust your gut feelings.
A 'spread' refers to the pattern in which you lay out the cards for a reading. Different spreads are used for different types of tasks. The simplest one is the 'Three Card Spread', where the first card represents the past, the second one is the present, and the third one is the future. As you advance, you can try out more complex spreads.
The more you practise, the more comfortable you'll get with the cards. Start by doing readings for yourself. As you gain confidence, you can practise reading for others.
This can be incredibly beneficial for beginners. Document each reading, noting the cards drawn, their positions, your interpretation, and how it aligns with your situation or question. Over time, you'll start to see patterns and develop a deeper understanding of how the tarot speaks to you.
