What is Tarot Reading and How Does it Work?

Posted on March 11th, 2023.

Tarot reading is the practice of using tarot cards to gain insight into the past, present, and future. It has been used for centuries by psychics, occultists, and spiritualists to gain insight into the lives of those seeking advice. Tarot readings are often sought to help people make decisions, understand relationships, and manage difficult situations.

A tarot reading is typically done with a standard tarot deck, which is composed of 78 cards divided into two parts: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana are the 22 trump cards that represent the major events in life, such as the Fool, the Hermit, the Tower, and the World. The Minor Arcana are the 56 remaining cards that represent everyday life, such as the Ace of Wands, the Two of Pentacles, and the Ten of Swords.

When a tarot reading is performed, the reader typically begins by shuffling and cutting the deck. The deck is then laid out in a spread, which is a predetermined pattern that helps the reader gain insight into the past, present, and future of the querent (the person seeking the reading). Depending on the type of spread used, the reader can gain insight into a particular situation or area of life.

The tarot reader then interprets the cards according to their meaning. Each tarot card has a specific meaning that can be interpreted in relation to the querent’s situation. For example, the Three of Cups can represent joy and celebration, while the Ten of Swords can indicate a difficult situation or challenge. The reader interprets the cards according to their meaning and combines them to give the querent an overall message or insight.

Tarot readings can be a powerful way to gain insight into your life and make decisions. It can help you gain clarity on a situation or provide you with a sense of direction. However, it’s important to remember that a tarot reading is only meant to be used as a spiritual tool and should not be used to make decisions.

For those interested in learning how to read the cards, there are many resources available, including books, websites, and classes. It is important to remember that it takes time, practice, and dedication to become a proficient tarot reader.

In conclusion, tarot reading is an ancient practice that has been used for centuries to gain insight and make decisions. It involves laying out a tarot deck in a spread and interpreting the cards according to their meaning. Tarot readings can be a powerful tool for gaining insight into your life, but it’s important to remember that it should not be used to make decisions. With the right resources and dedication, anyone can learn the art of tarot reading.
