What is Tarot and how does it work?

Tarot is a system of divination that uses a set of 78 cards, each with a unique image and meaning, to answer questions and provide insights into various aspects of life, such as love, career, health, spirituality, and more. Tarot is based on the principle of synchronicity, which means that there are no coincidences, but meaningful connections between events and symbols. Tarot cards act as a mirror of your subconscious mind, reflecting your thoughts, feelings, desires, and fears. Tarot cards also act as a bridge between your conscious and unconscious mind, revealing hidden truths and potentials that you may not be aware of.

Tarot cards are divided into two main groups: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards that represent the major themes and lessons of life, such as the Fool, the Magician, the High Priestess, the Lovers, the Wheel of Fortune, the Death, the Tower, the Sun, and the World. The Minor Arcana consists of 56 cards that represent the minor details and situations of life, such as the Ace of Cups, the Two of Swords, the Three of Pentacles, the Four of Wands, the Five of Coins, the Six of Cups, and so on. The Minor Arcana is further divided into four suits: Cups, Swords, Pentacles, and Wands. Each suit corresponds to an element, a season, and an aspect of life. Cups are associated with water, winter, and emotions. Swords are associated with air, spring, and thoughts. Pentacles are associated with earth, autumn, and material things. Wands are associated with fire, summer, and actions.

To use Tarot for divination, you need to have a question or a topic that you want to explore. You can ask anything that you are curious or concerned about, as long as it is relevant and respectful. You can also use Tarot for general guidance, without a specific question, to get an overview of your current situation and future possibilities. You then need to shuffle the Tarot deck and draw one or more cards, depending on the type of reading you want to do. You can use a predefined Tarot spread, which is a layout of cards that has a specific meaning and structure, such as the Celtic Cross, the Three Card Spread, the Horseshoe Spread, and so on. You can also create your own Tarot spread, by assigning your own meanings and positions to the cards. You then need to interpret the meanings of the cards and their positions, using your intuition, logic, and knowledge. You can also use our free Tarot Oracle tools that will guide you with the reading meaning, but you can always turn to our experts for help.

How to perform a Tarot reading?

Performing a Tarot reading for yourself or others is a fun and rewarding experience, and it can also be a powerful and insightful tool for divination and guidance. However, it can also be a challenging and daunting task, especially if you are new to Tarot or if you are reading for someone else. Here are some steps and tips that can help you perform a Tarot reading for yourself or others:

1. Prepare yourself and your space. You can find a quiet and comfortable place where you can perform your Tarot reading, and where you can avoid distractions and interruptions. You can also create a relaxing and positive atmosphere, by using candles, incense, music, or crystals. You can also cleanse and charge your Tarot deck, by shuffling it, knocking on it, or placing it under the moonlight. You can also meditate, pray, or set an intention before your Tarot reading, to clear your mind and focus your energy.
2. Formulate your question or topic. You can think of a question or a topic that you want to explore with your Tarot reading, and that is relevant and respectful. You can also write down your question or topic, to make it more clear and specific. You can use open-ended questions, such as “What do I need to know about…”, “How can I improve…”, or “What are the possible outcomes of…”. You can avoid yes or no questions, such as “Will I get…”, “Is he/she…”, or “Should I…”. You can also use our free Tarot Oracle tools that will guide you with some questions that are suitable for your Tarot reading, such as “What is the energy of the day?”, “What is the lesson of the month?”, or “What is the message of the year?”.
3. Choose a Tarot spread. You can select a Tarot spread that matches your question or topic, and that suits your level of experience and preference. You can use a simple and classic Tarot spread, such as the Three-Card Spread, the Celtic Cross Spread, or the Horseshoe Spread. You can also use a more complex and specific Tarot spread, such as the Career Path Spread, the Relationship Spread, or the Zodiac Spread. You can also create your own Tarot spread, by deciding how many cards you want to use, and what each position means. You can also use our free Tarot Spread tools that will help you choose or create a Tarot spread for your Tarot reading.
4. Draw the cards. You can shuffle your Tarot deck, while focusing on your question or topic, and asking for guidance from your intuition, your spirit guides, or the universe. You can also cut the deck, or fan it out, and draw the cards that you feel drawn to, or that stand out to you. You can also use a random number generator, or our free Tarot Card tools that will help you draw the cards for your Tarot reading.
5. Interpret the cards. You can lay out the cards in the order and layout of your chosen Tarot spread, and start interpreting them. You can look at the images, symbols, colors, and numbers of the cards, and see what they mean to you, and how they relate to your question or topic. You can also use the traditional meanings and associations of the cards, and consult a Tarot guidebook, a Tarot website, or our free Tarot Meaning tools that will help you interpret the cards for your Tarot reading.
6. Integrate the message. You can summarize the main message and theme of your Tarot reading, and see how it applies to your situation and your life. You can also reflect on the insights and advice that you received from your Tarot reading, and see how you can use them to improve your circumstances and your well-being. You can also take action based on your Tarot reading, and follow the steps and suggestions that you learned from your Tarot reading.
