Depending what cards are around a certain card, it will influence the meaning. I do readings in my apartment, which is great because I can control the environment. Find a Way to Start a Reading That Feels Right for You Traditional tarot books or readers might advocate for a lengthy or ritual process of beginning a reading.
Howe says the most important element is to just do what feels right for you. You have to just figure out whatever it is that will make the reading flow the easiest. Change is really positive. I drew the Grim Reaper in this jungle atmosphere with all these plants and life and butterflies that symbolize change and transformation. See, not spooky at all. We had our in-house tarot reader, Jamie Spada , share her expertise.
Initially, tarot cards were used for games. Many, including myself, also use oracle cards in their card readings. Tarot has taken lots of different forms today and tarot readers can take more and more creative licenses in their readings.
I incorporate spiritual coaching and manifestation guidance into my readings as well. It is the wildest job I have ever had! I get to meet all kinds of people, some skeptics, many firm believers in what I do. Many readers work hard to fight the stereotypes often given to us and offer true healing to many people. When I tell people what I do as a full-time job, their eyes often get wide.
They help paint a picture so I can help my clients in a cohesive way that makes sense to both me and my client.

Although different readers use different layouts or techniques, every tarot is a narrative of which you are the hero and the card in the middle , and the surrounding cards represent issues or people affecting you and the story of your life. The minor arcana looks sort of like a deck of playing cards — it has four suits, as well as kings, queens and jacks — though there are 56 cards in tarot and just 52 in a standard deck, while the major arcana are the 22 cards we normally associate with the tarot in pop culture — Death, the Devil, etc.
Even beyond that, each card is packed with information — some systems rely on numerology i. At its most basic, tarot tells stories about the cycles of our lives. Shuffling the deck, picking out cards and laying them out in order reveals what different trials and tribulations we might face during any given journey. However, the cards in the major arcana don't necessarily represent us in a given reading; they might represent someone else in our lives, or symbolize more general issues.
Tarot is a complex language, and every reading is different; similarly, every reader and the methodology they use to interpret the way the cards interact is different.
