Tarot is something that takes both practice and patience to do.
Like any other form of future telling, it can be done alone or with two or more people. It does not always take memorizing to use tarot cards, but it does help. I still use reference notes for tarot because I don’t trust myself to remember 22 cards and 4 minor arcana suits, each with 14 cards to it.

There are many different spreads that can be used for tarot, and I prefer more precise and basic ones. I generally use the same spread each time. The other thing about tarot is that it depends on whether it’s positive or negative that affects what the card means. When you shuffle your deck of tarot cards, you are supposed to first scatter them and so they are both right-side up and vice-versia when you put them in the deck. If they come up in the spread as upside-down then they are counted as negative, if they are right-side up then they are positive.

In the next post, I will show you what all the major cards mean. After that I will do all the minor arcana suits in separate posts (suit of swords, suit of cups, suit of wands and suit of pentacles.). After all that is posted, I will then post different spreads, starting with the one I use most often (the basic-defined spread).

I urge you all to get tarot cards, for they are very resourceful and helpful as well as fun to do. It is not necessary to have them, but like many other magical things, they are good to have.

I will now order zero to twenty-one of the tarot cards, showing their key ideas for both positive and negative.

0. The Fool: The character on this card is a foolish young man, and it often in term symbolizes you. If this card shows up, it likely means that you are about to make a fresh start (this is if it is positive). Something will make you feel refreshed and compel you to start new. If the card comes up negative, it means that you will need to open your mind to new concepts, good or bad is undecided. If the card is negative, be warned that this is a bad time to start something new in business unless absolutely necessary.

1. The Magician: If this card comes up positive, it is telling you that soon will be a good time to use your skills in terms of work and business. By marketing your skills, you can advance to a better part in your career, so let your talents show. If the card comes up negative, it is telling you that soon someone will be trying to be devious, so you should be careful to try and avoid trickery or manipulation.

2. The High Priestess: The priestess often turns up when a time of study and need of logic is on its way. This could be either for spiritual knowledge, work or for schooling. Either way, you should be careful to get in some reading and whatnot to get through this period (This is for the positive of the card.). If the card happens to come up negative, it means that at sometime in the near future you may not necessarily be learning from something, but could in turn be teaching it. Upon this, be ready for either one of those situations to occur.

3. The Empress: If the card appears positive, it means that a time of good abundance is one way. You may soon make a new friend of the datable type, leaving new choices for romance. This is a warmly emotional card, depicting love and happiness upon whomever it should appear before. If the card comes up negative, it means that a feminine, motherly figure is about to enter your life. This woman will likely try and make you consider your financial life in her sense of practicality, though this will lead to a hardship. This time will pass and she will not stay too long in your life.

4. The Emperor: If this card comes up positive, it symbolizes will power and earthly wisdom as well as fresher will-power. It suggests that you may move up to a stronger or higher position at work, which might mean that you must do more work than you are now. If, however, you are seeking employment, this card shows something worth-while on its way. If the card comes up as negative, it means that if you are looking to improve your status at work or financial status, you must really put your nose to the grindstone, so to say you should work very hard. Also, this card suggests that there may be a man in your life that feels he has authority over you. Be sure not to get involved with a controlling or bossy person.

5. The Hierophant: If the card comes up positive, it shows that a teacher or mentor will soon come along. A religious figure may also be depicted in this card. This card may not be for spiritual knowledge, but also for earthly wisdom. If the card comes up negative, it is warning you to be careful with your decisions. It is telling you to not be sloppy with decisions and to do the right things for the right reasons.

6. The Lovers: The card portrays a very loving and emotion time, which is correct if it comes up positive. It shows that you will begin to notice the beauty and harmony in things and find love, not necessarily in a relationship, but with a companion. If it comes up negative, the card is warning you that a present or near-future affair will go nowhere and is probably not worth wasting time on.

*This is all I have done so far (it takes FOREVER to type up) but I will finish asap.
