They always offer an alternative view and a new perspective on the problems in our lives. Look to the Tarot as a guide on how to help map your future and guide your path.

The Tarot deck consists of seventy-eight cards that are similar to modern playing cards. The deck is broken down into three categories; twenty two Major Arcana, Sixteen Court Cards and forty suit cards being Wands, Pentacles, Swords and Cups.

The Major Arcana starts with the Fool card and depicts the Fools journey toward enlightenment through the set. When in a layout the Major Arcana can carry more significance than the lesser cards.

The sixteen Court or People cards have Kings, Queens, Knights, and Pages of each of the four suits. The Court cards represent our intricate relationships with people in our lives. They can give us insight into ourselves and our understanding of ourselves.

The forty suit cards are ten cards each of the four suits. They represent typical situations and emotional states of our daily lives. Each suit also has a meaning and can be tied with astrological signs.

Many layouts are used to interpret the cards; there is no right or wrong way. Many readers have a different layout for particular situations. After time many readers make their own layouts.

Each card position in a layout carries a particular meaning and significance of the card falling in that position. The art of reading a layout is that of weaving together a story that links and brings meaning to person who is asking for insight.

There are plenty of Tarot decks in the market. Choosing a deck is a personal experience and a Tarot reader may tell you that the cards “spoke” to them before they chose their deck. If you ever have a chance to look at several decks notice the overall similarities and then notice the differences in artwork and color. Some decks are simple while others are intricate pieces of imagery.

If you look at a deck of Tarot cards you will see many images and colors. Each image holds a meaning as do the colors. A reader will put this all together with the arrangement of the layout to pull together a personal meaning for the client. With a different client the reader may pick up on a different image and different color on the same card as the other client. It is the reflection of the reader to comprise the overall picture of the cards and the layout with the client’s questions and needs.

The Tarot has a long history that some say dates back to the fourteenth century.

The nineteenth and twentieth centuries have seen a new interest in the Tarot cards, as well as astrology, geomancy, et cetera. Tarot cards and Tarot readers are almost mainstream today. Whether you use the cards for divination, to awaken your imagination, or to foster spiritual growth, the Tarot is an exciting journey
