Tarot Reading Standouts

The Tarot has been around for hundreds of years and is both an art and a science. We will concentrate on the specific definitions of the cards that stand out in a Tarot Reading.

Death Card:  One of the most daunting cards! People mistaken it for physical death, when in fact, it represents endings of situations or relationships. It also represents re-birth and regeneration of the soul.

The Queen of Coins indicates financial gains and security through a woman. She is depicted as a generous benefactor, someone that can help someone secure a loan from a bank, an inheritance, or generous lady that readily bestows financial favors on loved ones.

The King of Coins also represents this except the benefactor is a male energy instead.

Justice represents all legal matters. If the card faces away from the reader it means legal difficulties to overcome, but if the card is facing the reader it foretells a favorable outcome.

Swords always represent adversity. The King or Queen of Swords indicates an argumentative type of individual, a bully if you will and needs to be avoided at all costs.

Wands represent hope and security and happy results when in conjunction with the rest of the card spread. Gives extra happiness and spiritual awareness.

The Chariot represents journeys and if the card is facing the reader, it is a good time to travel, but if the card is facing OPPOSITE to the reader or upside down, it shows that traveling would be best avoided in the immediate future.

The Fool indicates a person of capricious nature, can be male or female, but is someone that cannot be trusted.

Wheel of Fortune is a very lucky card and it represents victory in virtually all endeavors. If the card is facing the reader, it means instant gratification, but if the card is opposite it means there will be a slight delay in achieving good things.

Hanged Man shows that the person is responsible for their own predicament and can often be their own worst enemy.

The Magician is always clever and will be able to have the fortitude to get themselves out of any tight situations. Will be able to rectify past problems as well.

The Tower represents the home life and family, if facing towards the reader, means problems will be resolved, if opposite, this usually means a divorce or some sort of chaos that forces a person to change their lifestyle, job and or relationships.

The Sun bestows many blessings and success in areas connected to the Major Arcana spread. Once again, if the Sun is facing the reader, immediate gratification, but if opposite, some delays but still wonderful outcome

The Devil is an individual male or female that has ulterior motives. Deception and someone with evil intent that is to be avoided at all costs as well.

The Lovers represent spiritual harmony and a lifetime of continued romance. If it faces the reader, immediate results, but if opposite, it means love will have to wait a little bit.

Lastly, the World indicates that victory and conquest in all matters. Lucky is the client that finds this gem in their deck.

Love and Money in Tarot

Major Arcana In Tarot Love & Money

Three or more Major Arcana cards in a Tarot reading means you and your partner are in for some major changes in this area. The optimism of an auspicious start comes with the Fool card.  However, the end of a long and maybe painful cycle comes with the World card.  

Cups Cards Love & Money

The Cups cards in the Tarot are great to get in reading on the state of your connection and your shared finances. Cups signify deep feelings, intense feelings, and many combinations of love and relationships. Relying on the particular card in the Cups Suit, some of them can discuss different types of partnerships, including business and platonic. If you get flipped cards in the Cups Suit, it signals emotional blocks between you and your partner, deception from one side of the equation, or the need to stop dwelling in the past when it comes to financial mistakes made by either party.

Wands Cards Love & Money

Usually, this indicates your love life is about to embark on great passion and excitement. The Wands cards in the Tarot also signal power and action.  This means you and your partner are full and equal partners both in your finances and in your romantic partnership. Reversed Wands cards signify pessimistic feelings about finances and romance. So trying to find inspiration and passion is needed.  

Swords Cards Love & Money

Many Sword cards mean you or your partner might start a business together in the future or you could work together in the present indicating new ideas or ventures. But Sword cards in the upright could also talk about some sort of struggle regarding shared finances. In the reverse, Sword cards could indicate difficult choices, burning out on the partnership, and the need for time to heal.

Pentacles Cards Love & Money

Pentacle cards signify abundance in love and finances. Many Pentacles in a reading indicate you and your partner are or will experience a bountiful romantic and financial life together. If reversed, this could signal a desire of you or your partner to hold onto your money, fear of financial loss, or being obsessed with material possessions.

Tarot Reading

Most cartomancers consent there aren’t any “negative” tarot cards in the Tarot. Even ones that make worry seekers like Death or The Tower aren’t bad. That’s because universal guides send messages through the cards to encourage you to take an active role regarding your life questions—and that’s always positive. 

But if anything could be called negative, this year sure qualified! In fact, if we could add another card to the deck to represent 2020, it’d have to be major Arcana card XXIII: “Dumpster Fire.”
 

So let’s clear out that crummy 2020 energy by using the wondrous Tarot to look ahead at 2021. The most in-depth and fun way is for your psychic to do a “Zodiac spread” for the year.
 

Of course, everybody knows what the zodiac is. It’s the 12 astrological signs (“houses”) like Aquarius and Scorpio. As you would expect, the Zodiac spread uses 12 cards, one for each house. You ask a question and each card that comes out addresses a different aspect of the answer based on the house where it falls, starting with Aries and ending with Pisces. It’s a great way to get a really deep picture.
 

But for seekers who want to know how about the next year, whether in general or about their love life or career or health or any other specific area or question during that time frame, I lay out 12 cards just as in the Zodiac spread … but for 12 months instead of 12 signs.
 

Rather than the “Aries” aspect of an answer (which is “Identity,” by the way). The first card that comes up now represents January, in particular how itwill be regarding your life and question (or in general) as things stand now. But REMEMBER: As with any divinatory message, YOU are in the driver’s seat at all times. If you don’t like anything that’s predicted, the universe is showing you this possible future to empower you to do something about it! For this reason, I recommend getting this 12-card reading no more often than every three months. Give your actions time to bear fruit before checking back in with another “year ahead” reading.
 

Moving on, the second card to come up is about what to expect in February, the third about March, and so on. Some readers include a thirteenth card to sum up the year as a whole. Others first shuffle just the court cards and choose one at random to represent the seeker before shuffling the rest of the deck (with the other court cards) to do the actual reading. Any reader should be happy to do it or not do it according to your wishes. You need only let them know if you want this extra card laid out or not. It won’t make any different to the 12 cards of the actual reading other than that court card not being available.

Various Tarot Decks

The world today is flooded with Tarot deck options, from the classic 78 card Rider-Waite, to the trendy Oracle Decks with no set number of cards. So many options can blur the waters, making it challenging to determine which ones will be useful to the reader.

 
Tarot cards themselves are only a tool.  The cards allow a reader to communicate with spirit via the subconscious mind, which speaks only in symbols.  The symbols appear in the cards which are then translated to the reader using psychic abilities.  Readings are enhanced by clairvoyant, clairaudient, and clairsentient abilities.


We can think of each deck as a different language.  Many are derivative of older versions, only giving new flare, while others are totally unique.  The best path is to become completely familiar with one first, becoming fluent in the language of symbolism and interpretations of each card in the deck.  Think of this as a native language, as it will always be what is most comfortable and familiar.  It can be beneficial and mind opening to learn new languages.


However, the completely derivative decks are not really helpful for a new point of view.   A reader may prefer the new look, but most of the modern decks are based upon the Rider-Waite deck, created in 1909.  One deck that does stand out is the Thoth Deck, published in 1944, commissioned by Aleister Crowley.  Very few deck creators stray from these two decks as inspiration.  Most of them are artists looking for a drawing project, which can be pretty, but does anyone really need the Hello Kitty Tarot? (and yes, it exists)


The new trends in tarot are the oracle cards and angel decks.  These decks are usually created with a specific purpose or theme in mind.  The number of cards and artistic style is completely open.  The tradition is actually quite old, with decks of cards with images and prompt words.  These decks can be used alone or in conjunction with traditional decks.  The additional insight can enhance the reading, giving an accent to the language.


The amount of cards on the market has surged due to increased interest in the Tarot, and many more decks are on the way.  It is a huge undertaking to draw so many cards within the same theme, and at the same time thinking how they work as a whole.  It is the symbolism within the cards that is most important, so a reader can use decks that “speak” to them.

Tarot Card Superstitions

Tarot Card Readings
Superstitions

Tere are many superstitions and traditions surrounding the practice of reading the Tarot.  These are the views of a longtime Tarot Reader, and may not be shared by all Tarot Readers.

 
The first practice starts with getting the deck, itself. It is customary for the Tarot Cards to be given as a gift. Buying a deck for myself will give me pretty cards, but without influences. My first deck was the traditional Rider-Waite deck, given to me by my boyfriend’s mother. The cards came in a container with a little book full of definitions and spreads. This is still the deck I use to this day, and get the best results with. I have been given other decks, and I have purchased some.


The one I purchased was gorgeous, colorful and well thought out.  However, using them for readings did not work for me.  Most Tarot Readers readily give decks to others.  I have given that colorful deck away and many more Tarot decks over the years.  This spirit of giving and sharing gives good energy to the cards.


The next tradition is card protection.  The Tarot cards are very absorbent of surrounding energies.  Many superstitions and methods surround protecting the deck from interfering vibes.  One method is wrapping the cards in a silk cloth when not in use.  Another is keeping decks away from electronic devices to avoid EMF exposure.  And lastly, guarding against negative people and their energies around the cards. 


The third tradition is cleansing the deck.  Many times after a reading the cards may feel unclean, as if the energies from the reading are still lingering in the deck.  A good shuffle will cleanse out those vibes.  I like to smear the cards all over the table and swish them around when they feel especially tainted.  Every month, many readers place their cards outside under the full moon.  Along with charging crystals, the full moon energy charges the cards with purifying energy.  Another method popular with readers is using smoke to clean the cards.  I will light some incense, and hover the deck over the smoke, shuffling them slightly.  The smoke will purify and energize the deck.


Every Tarot Reader adapts their traditions and superstitions, which are just as unique as they are.  It takes several years to develop skills in reading, plus an innate gift of powerful intuition to understand the messages in the cards.

Debunking Tarot Myths

Tarot Myths

Have you been considering purchasing a tarot deck lately? This superstition might just hold you back! While there are many myths concerning tarot cards, there are several superstitions as well. One such superstition is that purchasing a deck for yourself will lead to bad luck and can adversely affect your readings. It’s often said that buying a tarot deck that you’ll use for yourself can cast a black cloud over your readings and affect your ability to unlock your full potential. Some of the most powerful psychics out there will swear that a tarot deck should be bought for you, given, and even in worst-case scenarios, STOLEN! 

Anyone who’s spent a long time reading the cards is going to tell you that a tarot deck is an intensely personal tool, by receiving a deck from someone you care about, the deck becomes even more important to you because it was a gift. Some people believe that this is added personal value can not only enhance your connection to the cards but can augment the readings you get out of it. If you find that you usually attach sentiment value to belongings you received as gifts, it may work best for you if you do receive a tarot deck as a gift, rather than buying it for yourself.

Try as I might I haven’t been able to track down the origin of the idea that it’s improper or inauspicious to buy your tarot deck. In my family, this is one of our customs. To wait to be given a deck for card reading exemplifies patience, humility, and a true calling while buying one for yourself signifies vanity. While I don’t recommend anyone doing what I did, I had stolen my first deck as a child at the age of 10, due to hearing this myth. I was a very impatient child, I just couldn’t wait to begin readings, I knew my calling. 12 years later I am still using this same deck today with each one of my readings.

All in all, is this myth true? Most readers nowadays consider this to be nothing more than a myth and think nothing of it when buying a deck for themselves. I have not heard any horror stories yet, but I won’t be the one to give this myth a try either! However, with many things in the spiritual realm, this topic is very subjective. Some close reader friends of mine are highly gifted and connected to their cards while they were purchased by themselves, while my other friends believe that receiving a pack of tarot cards as a gift automatically blesses you with good luck. They feel it adds an extra element of magic and fascination to what is already an enchanting process. As with any superstition, there’s no way to tell if this one is true or not aside from buying yourself a deck and seeing what happens, only if you’re brave that is!
