The origins and origins of Tarot cards are shrouded in mystery, but currently the way of interpretation with their help is one of the most popular. There are a huge number of options for tarot decks today. Each of them carries its own symbolism, its own energy potential. Therefore, the choice of deck must be approached very responsibly. There are also a great variety of layouts, the simplest is to simply pull out one card. Look at its symbols, think about what it can mean in your situation, and you will find a way out of a difficult situation. The meanings of the cards are complex and multifaceted, full of symbols and various correspondences, so you can talk in more detail about each card. You can also use brief descriptions of interpretations, without various combinations and having the meaning of inverted cards.

Flipped cards

In the case of the Tarot, some cards may be turned upside down. Such cards are usually interpreted as the "shadow" side of the "correct" meaning, which literally is usually replaced with the opposite. Such cards can also serve as a reminder of what is being played in a given situation on an unconscious level, the meaning of such a card can help to penetrate deeper into a particular situation. However, some believe that it is possible to ignore the fact of turning the card over and interpret them as if they were in their usual position. One way or another, the fortuneteller himself chooses whether to take into account inverted cards in his fortune-telling or not.

In some decks, the drawing does not allow you to distinguish the upright position of some cards from the inverted one. This applies, in particular, to the suit of Denarii and Staves. The top and bottom of other cards are often identified by design; for example, in most decks the top of a sword suit is determined by where the points are raised; in other decks, a straight card can be distinguished from an inverted card by the location of the ornament. However, when the suit pattern is symmetrical, especially in the case of denarii, it is almost impossible to determine their position, and therefore some advise making small marks on the edges of the cards to distinguish top from bottom.

If we take into account the meaning of the turned card, then in order to obtain a reliable prediction, it is necessary that the cards are turned over randomly, regardless of previous fortune-telling. It is better to look through the entire deck before the next fortune-telling and turn all the cards to their normal position. Then you need to shuffle the cards and turn over (if you are guessing for yourself or let the questioner turn over - if you are not guessing for yourself) about one third randomly throughout the deck; at the same time, you can not look at their front surface. Then the deck is carefully shuffled again and removed.

Fortune telling on tarot cards is a popular way to find out your future and get answers to many questions. But the hardest part of this process is the interpretation of the meanings. The Tarot deck contains 78 arcana. When fortune-telling, one should take into account not only specific cards and their meanings, but also their combinations. In order to learn this, you need to put a little effort and patience. In this article, we will consider a detailed description of the Tarot cards and learn how to interpret them correctly.

Major arcana

The most key figures of the entire deck of Tarot cards are precisely the Major Arcana. They not only describe the situation, but also show the root of the problem. In predictions for the future, the Major Arcana show the full development of the case with all that it implies. In some layouts, only these cards are used. So, the deck contains 22 Major Arcana. Each of them has its own order. This image shows all the Major Arcana in the correct order.

Interpretation of the Major Arcana

So, consider the description of the Tarot cards in order.

The first is the card with a value of 0. It is called Jester and denotes frivolity, carelessness, inspiration, creativity. So, for example, if this lasso falls out in the question of what preceded the situation, then, most likely, the fortuneteller behaved too frivolously. But if, for example, she points to future events or to a solution to an issue, then this will mean that the situation can be solved only if you approach it creatively.

I. The magician symbolizes a young man, strong and self-confident. In classical divination in an upright position, the lasso denotes will, diplomacy, energy and readiness for decisive action. On the contrary, it is precisely these qualities that a person lacks.

II High Priestess - wisdom, psychic abilities, secrets and secrets. In addition, it can impersonate a girl or woman surrounded by a fortuneteller. If the card falls on a personality characteristic, it means that the person has a hidden talent, which will soon manifest in him.

III Empress - harmony, growth, prosperity. In any case, the card symbolizes stability and a favorable outcome of events.

IV Emperor - power, protection, authority. This card indicates that a person has a reliable defender, or he must find one. As a characteristic of personality, the lasso means that a person is a protector. He is always ready to help.

V Hierophant (in some decks - Priest). This card has many meanings. This is primarily the opposite of the High Priestess. Denotes enslavement, the learning process, the need for knowledge. May also indicate a lack of them.

VI Lovers - close relationship, friendship, possibly love. In some fortune-telling, it can mean self-love. Description of the Tarot VI Lovers is quite capacious. Arcanum also denotes pleasure, temptation, beauty, stability, success, union. So, for example, if a card falls for the future, then it can mean that a person is in harmony with himself and everything will work out for him.

VII Carriage - anxiety, defeat. This is one of the few cards that denote an action, and not its result. If the lasso Wagon falls out in fortune-telling, it means that the time has come for deliberate actions. In an inverted position - definitely a failure.

VIII Strength - the name of the card largely determines its meaning. So, it denotes strength, power, power, action. The map indicates that the quiet time has already passed. Now it is necessary to act very boldly.

IX The Hermit - patience, the need to wait. Unlike the previous lasso, this one indicates a slowdown and decline in activity. In an upright position, it can also mean solitude, loneliness. Inverted - health problems.

X is a lasso that has many meanings. They all depend on the cards that will stand side by side in the layout. The basic description of the Fortune Tarot card is as follows:

• change;
• a gift from above;
• punishment;
• success;
• fate;
• a sharp turn of events.

XI Justice - deliberate decisions, court cases. In general, the lasso indicates that a balance must be found.

XII The Hanged Man - the lasso denotes intuition, a hopeless future, hard work. The card symbolizes the framework in which a person will be placed, and he will have no other choice - only to obey. Arcanum also denotes refusal, trial, self-sacrifice.

XIII Death is one of the worst cards in the deck, which signifies loss, completion, separation. However, in some fortune telling, the description of the Tarot card is as follows - the end of the black bar.

XIV Moderation - means balance, the need to find a middle ground in a situation.

XV Devil - greed, greed, inability to stop.

XVI Tower - changes in life, and they can be both good and bad. Everything will depend on the adjacent cards.

XVII Star - a good sign, hopes and plans. This card denotes calmness, good news, routine.

XVIII Moon - solitude, loneliness, loss of control. The card gives advice that it is time for a person to rethink his life.

XIX The sun symbolizes glory, success, universal recognition. In a love scenario, it can mean passion, lust.

XX Judgment is a card that is very similar in meaning to the XI lasso Justice. It can mean new unexpected events, rewards, punishment, unnecessary worry. XX Judgment - the Tarot card, the description and meaning of which we are considering - can also mean a strong feeling of fear and anxiety.

XXI World is the last major lasso in the deck. The card means completion, a journey, perhaps an escape from oneself.

Minor arcana

This part of the deck consists of 56 cards and is divided into 4 suits: Pentacles, Cups, Swords and Wands. Each of them belongs to one of the four elements. Depending on the suit of the lasso, the interpretation of the Tarot cards is made. The description of the card as a whole also depends on the numerological meaning of each of them. So, in each suit there are 14 cards:

• numeric (from 2 to 10);
• Knight;
• Queen;
• King.

Let's consider each of the suits in more detail.

Wands

There are a lot of names for this suit. So, in some interpretations, the following can be found: Sceptres, Staves, Spears, Clubs, Sticks. But their essence does not change from this. Suit Wands personify the element of Fire, the masculine principle. It symbolizes energy and vitality, ambition. If we consider the Staves from the astrological side, they correlate with such signs of the zodiac: Leo, Sagittarius, Aries.

Suit of Staves: meanings

In layouts, most often the Wands indicate a business or an area of ​​work, where the result depends only on the person himself. If more than 3 Staves cards are dropped in the personality characteristic, this indicates that this person achieves everything in her life herself.

For each of the 14 cards of the Wand suit, of course, there is a meaning. It depends on the adjacent cards and the layout itself. Consider a complete description of the Tarot cards of the suit of Wands.

The Ace of Staves symbolizes good luck and success, career growth. What you put so much effort into will now bear fruit. In the layout for love, the value of the card depends on the gender of the fortuneteller. So, for a man, this is success in a relationship with his beloved. If a guy is lonely, then one girl really likes him. If this lasso falls out to a woman, it means that it is time for her to find a lover.

The following cards are easy to interpret. So, the two of Wands are plans, the three are the beginning of a new stage, the four are the first fruits, and so on. Nine of Staves will mean the completion of affairs. A dozen of Wands have the most negative meaning. It denotes the failure of all plans. Figured cards (page, knight, queen, king), respectively, mean business connections, professionalism, patronage, power.

Fundamentals of Interpretation of Major and Minor Arcana

First of all, looking at the alignment, you should determine which suits are the largest. So you can find out in which area a person has many problems. The meanings of the Major Arcana should be interpreted in the first place, because these are key cards. Of course, a complete description of the Tarot cards cannot be imagined without a combination of some arcana.

For example, the Wands, together with the Major Arcana, which have a positive meaning, reinforce each other. The Empress and the Ace of Staves is one of the most successful combinations. It means happiness, success, the fulfillment of all plans and hopes. The Jester card and the suit of Cups can mean a relationship without obligation. In general, in order to fully understand the essence of the alignment, one should look not at each individual card, but at all the arcana at the same time.

Interpretation for beginners

For those who are just learning to guess, it is recommended to write a description of the layouts of Tarot cards in a separate notebook. So after a while you will be able to create your own interpretation of each of the cards. It is for this reason that in various literature, a detailed description of the Tarot cards differs from each other.

The fortuneteller must become one with the deck. Only in this case will he learn to understand the meaning of each of the cards. At first, of course, you should focus on the data presented in this article, but soon you will see that in each specific fortune-telling they can differ significantly.

Fortune telling on Tarot cards is a complex process of interaction with the subconscious of the questioner. At the initial stage, decoding complex symbols can cause difficulties for a fortuneteller. Therefore, the most popular way of alignment is the use of the major arcana. There are only 22 of them and each is related to the previous one. The meaning of Tarot cards can be twofold and depends not only on the location of the card, but also on its neighbors.

Jester - zero lasso, symbolizes the beginning of the path. The beginning of the development of the soul. The rest of the major arcana are interpreted depending on the question posed. They can denote close people and the environment of the questioner, the client himself, events and character traits that interfere or are necessary.

For the correct interpretation of divination cards, the practitioner needs to create a strong connection with them. Common interpretations should not be memorized, but passed through the prism of your own perception, creating your associations. To better understand them, you need to connect the plots on the cards with your emotions.

At the first stages of practice, the fortuneteller may encounter an inexplicable phenomenon: in some cases, the same lasso is revealed in a different way, causing a desire to decipher it differently, or does not say anything at all. This is fine. Such situations indicate the desire of the cards to speak with the fortuneteller, making it possible to better understand the situation.

There is no one-size-fits-all guide for a fortuneteller. Each practitioner has his own methods of interaction. Therefore, before starting fortune-telling, it is necessary to correctly structure the work with the cards and the process of getting to know them. Before embarking on an acquaintance with the minor arcana, the practitioner must develop a strong associative array with the base of the deck. If it is not there, a three of cups or a page of swords will only confuse the fortuneteller.

What are the major arcana talking about?

When describing the card, depending on the situation, the major arcana show the inner state of the client. Then the external circumstances that influenced the occurrence of the problem are considered. Both factors make it possible to identify the processes occurring in the subconscious and find the answer to the question.

The above interpretations should be taken as a road sign, not an axiom. At first, this knowledge is enough if you try to get to know the cards yourself and give them the opportunity to speak through the fortuneteller's associations.

In order for the fortune-telling process to be as effective as possible, it is necessary to choose the right deck. The most popular decks are:

• Manara;
• Ryder Waite;
• 78 doors;
• Tarot Thoth;
• Wheel of the Year.

The right deck is the key to successful work

When fortune-telling, it is important that the symbols depicted evoke vivid associations in the fortuneteller. Separate decks are selected for different types of work. For all occasions, only one deck can be used - the fortuneteller's personal item. But it cannot be used for fortune telling by strangers.

When diagnosing protection and dealing with relationships, you cannot take the same deck, even if the cardholder asks. These are opposite energies that will conflict and confuse the answers. For diagnostics, it is necessary to use a deck of shadows, if the practitioner studies magic in depth, the deck is selected relative to the main practice of the fortuneteller.

Dark decks are not suitable for very few people. Their energies are aggressive and the practitioner must be able to withstand the prompts from them.
