This is the layout. Which deck is best to use for fortune telling on the Major Arcana?

If you have already studied the basic meanings of all the arcana of the magic deck, it is time to get acquainted with the practical part of the ancient predictive science.

The main methods of fortune telling with Tarot cards can be divided into two types: simple and complex layouts, which differ in the time of their implementation. You need to start working with easier techniques that require less time, and gradually, having learned to cope with them, move on to more complex ones.

Simple layouts

This category includes predictions that use no more than five to seven cards. If you are still a beginner and just starting to get acquainted with the Tarot system, try practicing on the four layouts we have proposed.

Fortune telling with Tarot cards: card of the day layout

To master this method of fortune telling with Tarot cards, you do not need any special skills. All you need to do is wake up in the morning, pick up a deck and draw one single card from it at random. At first, it is best to use only the Major Arcana for this purpose - this way you can become more familiar with the meaning of each of them. After pulling out the card, look at it carefully and ask yourself questions:

What basic meaning does this Arcanum carry?
What feelings and emotions does it evoke in you?
Does it please you or does it cause you anxiety and fear?
What does the card number say?
What is its astrological and elemental correspondence?
What associations does it evoke in you?
What archetypes, myths or stories come to mind when you look at the map?

At first, it is better to write down all the answers in a notebook specially created for this purpose. After the notes, carefully examine the plot depicted on the Arcana and retell it in your own words.

How do you think the figures on it interact?
What do the colors and symbols in the image mean?
If a card could talk, what could it tell you?
Try to come up with a fairy tale that describes what is happening on the map
Imagine yourself inside this plot: how do you feel?
If there are several figures drawn on the Arcana, try to imagine yourself in turn in the place of each of them and write down your emotions
If you can draw, try sketching the plot of the selected map in your notebook

After a comprehensive analysis of the dropped Arcana, keep this information in your head throughout the day, and late in the evening remember all the events that happened during the day and find a connection between them and the card of the day. Describe this connection in your notebook.

This simple exercise will allow you to gradually memorize the meanings of each card and create your own associations. When all the Major Arcana have been worked out, take Minor Arcana and for several weeks repeat the “Card of the Day” fortune-telling, pulling one of them from the deck.

Do not forget to carry out the same operations as with the Major Arcana. After the Major Arcana, analyze the face cards in the same way. This alignment can be carried out in parallel with the development of other methods of fortune telling.

Layout of attitude towards a person using three cards

This simple fortune telling will allow you to practice relationship issues. It will tell about true attitude to you of any person from your environment. You need to think about a person of serious interest to you (it could be a friend, lover, relative, work colleague), and draw three cards from the deck at random, laying them out in a vertical row as in the picture.

Decoding the layout

The first position will tell you about the general impression that the intended person has about you.
The second is about the feelings that the hidden person has for you.
The third will show his subconscious perception of you (something that a person may not be aware of).

If you use only the Minor Arcana for fortune telling, the prediction will be short-term, but if you work with the Major Arcana or a full deck, the forecast will be long-term. Don’t get hung up on the same person: try to make layouts based on different people and analyze the results obtained.

Layout for analyzing the situation using five cards

This simple fortune telling will be appropriate if you find yourself in a difficult situation and find a way out of it on our own you can't do it. This arrangement will take little time, but at the same time you will receive fairly clear and concise answers to the questions asked.

Divide the deck into the Major and Minor Arcana, mentally focus on the situation that worries you, and draw four cards from the Minor Arcana pile, placing them in the appropriate positions, as in the picture. The fifth card is drawn from the Major Arcana.

Decoding the layout

A unit in this scenario will show what resources and opportunities you have in at the moment that will help you get out of the current impasse.
The deuce will tell you about the obstacles that you have to overcome.
Three will describe a reason that will help you accept final decision. Pay close attention to this lasso, because depending on the correct understanding of this card, the situation will be resolved in your favor or not.
The number four symbolizes advice from the Tarot, a hint that will help you make a decision.
The fifth card is the result of fortune telling, how the situation that worries you will be resolved.

This fortune telling also belongs to the category of simple ones. Using it, you will be able to figure out what kind of relationship actually exists between you and the intended person, but in more detail than it was in the three-card layout.

You need to divide the deck into the Major and Minor Arcana, mentally imagine the person you are interested in, pull out the first card from the Major Arcana pile, and the remaining six from the Minor Arcana.

The cards are laid out according to the following scheme.

Decoding the layout

The left row (numbers 5,6 and 7) refers to you, and the right row (numbers 2,3 and 4) refers to the person who interests you.
Unit shows general characteristics relationship between you here and now.
Cards 7 and 2 describe the area of conscious thoughts and feelings. The number seven tells how you feel about the person you have in mind, and the number two tells how he feels about you.
Cards numbered 6 and 3 symbolize the area hidden feelings. These are the emotions that we experience deep down or on a subconscious level, but are not always aware of. A number six will tell you about your subconscious feelings for your partner, and a number three will tell you about his feelings towards you.
Numbers 5 and 4 are the external “facade”, the ostentatious side of the relationship, what you openly demonstrate to each other. A five concerns your behavior, and a four concerns the behavior of the person you are interested in.

More complex layouts

These fortune-telling should be approached when you can already easily cope with deciphering more simple fortune telling for three to seven cards. Once you have learned how to interpret small groups of cards, you can begin to work with larger layouts that require more time.

At first, you will need more than one hour to carefully analyze all the meanings of the dropped Arcana, but gradually, with experience, the speed of your work will increase. Try starting with the three layouts below.

This fortune-telling is universal, because it not only helps to decipher and analyze absolutely any events in your life, but also to find out their reasons, and also lifts the mysterious veil of the future.

A full deck is used for fortune telling. Mentally focus on the events that are happening to you, pull out nine cards from the deck at random and place them as in the diagram.

After the layout, only 8 cards are opened, the ninth remains closed until the rest are analyzed.

Decoding the layout

The cards that fall in the first and second positions will tell you about the main forces on which the events happening to you are based. Having correctly recognized their meaning, you will already know exactly the reason for the current situation. Pay attention to how these two Arcana interact: do they complement each other or do they carry opposite meanings? Cards that are in “friendship” or “harmony” explain why your business is moving so quickly and unhindered, while “warring” cards will help you understand why you constantly encounter some difficulties.
Numbers 3, 4 and 5 symbolize the forces influencing the situation. Three talks about the trends that influence the events happening to you here and now, four talks about forces that will soon become dominant, and five identifies forces that are declining.
Number 6 reveals a factor whose effect you are not yet aware of. This is what is causing your concern about the situation.
Seven speaks about the side of events that you have already realized for yourself. By analyzing it, you will be able to once again evaluate the series of events that have occurred and look at them with fresh eyes.
Map 8 will show a possible perspective on the development of the problem situation.
After detailed analysis eight cards, you can open the ninth, meaning the root cause of the current situation. If the Minor Arcana is in this position, you can simply put it aside - that means the real reason the events taking place will remain hidden to you. If the Major Arcana falls out, it means that the Universe has decided to initiate you into its secrets, showing you the true state of affairs.

This method of fortune telling with Tarot cards is somewhat reminiscent of the previous one - in it we also understand difficult life circumstances. As in the previous fortune telling, you need to work with a full deck.

The layout helps you analyze important events from your past that influenced the situation, carefully consider the present and see the prospects for the development of events in the future.

You need to put the Major Arcana in a separate pile, and divide the Minor Arcana into four piles according to their suits: Wands/Staves - in one pile, Swords - in another, Cups / Cups - in the third, and Pentacles / Disks - in the fourth.

Mentally focus on the situation that worries you and lay out the cards as in the diagram, while numbers 1, 2 and 3 should be taken from the Major Arcana, 4,5 and 6 from the suit of Swords, 7,8 and 9 from the Wands, 10, 11 and 12 are from Cups, and 13,14 and 15 are from Pentacles.

After laying out all the cards as above, turn positions 4-15 face up. Cards 1, 2 and 3 can only be opened after the remaining positions have been interpreted.

Decoding the layout

The four, five and six (Swords) will tell you everything about the feelings and emotions of the people involved in the situation that worries you.
Seven, eight and nine (Wands) will describe how the current situation is reflected in the outside world.
Positions under the numbers 10, 11 and 12 (Cups) talk about how people with whom you have to communicate and interact in some way in the course of events treat you.
Numbers 13, 14 and 15 reflect financial side problems and the place you occupy in society.
When interpreting, it is important to pay attention to the row in which the card is located. So, the first row (cards 4,7, 10 and 13) means the past, the second row (5,8, 11 and 14) means the present, and the third (6, 9, 12 and 15) means the future. This way we get four key aspects for each time period, each of which describes a specific area.
After analyzing the above cards, you can open the Major Arcana - positions 1, 2 and 3. They describe the situation as a whole: one will tell about the past, two - about the present, and three - about the future.

For the layout, the cards are divided into five groups, as in the previous fortune-telling: one will contain the Major Arcana, the other will contain the Minor Arcana of the suit of Swords, the next will contain the Suit of Wands, and so on. The stack of Pentacles can be put aside; it will not be needed for fortune telling.

This fortune telling will tell you who you are as a person, help you analyze your expectations and real life, as well as determine further paths of self-development along which you should move.

You should relax, think about your inner world, and then draw four cards from the Major Arcana group, placing them in positions 1-4, then take four cards from the Swords pile, placing them in positions 5-8. Next, repeat the procedure for the stack of Wands, placing them in places 9-12 and the stack of Cups (places 13-16).

The entire layout should look like the image below.

Decoding the layout

It is best to analyze the result in groups of four cards. The first group will include positions 1,5, 9 and 13, the second - numbers 2, 6, 10 and 14, the third - numbers 3, 7, 11 and 15, and the fourth - cards 4, 8, 12 and 16. The Major Arcana are key in this fortune telling. They represent the main card in their group.
The unit will show your subjective opinion about yourself, how you imagine yourself.
The deuce will tell you what impression you make on others, the thoughts of these people about you.
The number three symbolizes your behavior in public - what you strive to demonstrate to others.
Four will give an objective assessment of you as a person.
The Swords (cards 5,6, 7 and 8) indicate your area of emotion. The Five will talk about what emotions are inherent in you in your opinion. own opinion, the six will show the opinions of others about your emotionality, the seven will show the impression you create (as far as emotions are concerned), the eight will give an objective assessment of your emotionality.
The remaining groups are treated in exactly the same way. The Wands (cards 9, 10, 11 and 12) symbolize the material sphere of your life in each of four areas: number nine - your thoughts about your own finances, number ten - what appears to others, number 11 - what you are trying to demonstrate, and number 12 - an objective assessment of your financial situation.
The cups (cards 13, 14, 15 and 16) will tell you about your relationships with others, while the number 13 will show your personal opinion, 14 - the opinion of other people about this, 15 - the impression you want to make in this area, 16 - objective analysis of your relationships with your environment.

Once you have mastered the basic methods of fortune telling with Tarot cards, you can improve yourself in this area and start making your own readings. Many experienced tarot readers prefer to work with independently compiled individual layouts, when universal ones cannot very accurately reflect the issues of interest to the client.

The traditional method of fortune telling is a layout on a full Tarot deck, but quite often you can see layouts on the major arcana of the Tarot, and this must be indicated by the author. If the author of the layout has not made any explanations about this, then by default it is considered that the layout is done on a full deck, or this is done at the choice of the tarot reader.

It is worth noting that there are also situations when using a full deck is simply necessary. For example, if there are more than 22 positions in the layout, or it is a layout in which separate positions are allocated for the Major and Minor Arcana.

Why are the minor arcana not used in readings?

Of course, there is no strict rule by which one could say when it is necessary and when not to use a full deck or only the Major Arcana. But still, sometimes the authors indicate very specifically which part of the deck needs to be used for the layout. As you know, the Minor Arcana more often indicates various details that appear in a short period of time, while the Major Arcana indicates fundamental moments, significant aspects.

However, in a well-balanced layout, where each position has a clearly formulated question, the difference between the Arcana is erased. However, if we want to make a reading on abilities, then it is better to use the Major Arcana of the Tarot. Issues such as abilities (magical or otherwise) related to spiritual growth or tarot readings for destiny literally require us to special approach, and therefore the use of the major arcana.

When using the Major Arcana of the Tarot in such layouts, we do not look at the future, but study the essence of the person himself, building his psychological or energetic portrait. That's why small details, described by the Minor Arcana are not of particular importance here.

In some cases, this choice is due to the fact that the novice tarot reader knows the meaning of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, for example, in love scenarios, but doubts and experiences uncertainty about the interpretation of the minor ones. Of course, this approach is completely unjustified, and only happens because you really want to tell fortunes.

It is worth noting that such novice tarot readers often get into trouble, since it is much more difficult to interpret the Major Arcana, they have a larger volume of probable meanings, and without reinforcement by details from the minor cards, they can completely confuse and lead in a completely different direction. In my opinion, it would be more correct for beginners to train by doing layouts only for younger ones (as an option playing deck), which would allow them to better understand both the cards themselves and interesting moments similarity of number and suit.

Many practitioners deliberately avoid working with the Minor Arcana only for the reason that at one time they were unable to properly master them. Now they seem unnecessary, petty, insignificant and confusing to them. But it would be more correct to say here – frightening. In order not to fall into the number of such tarot readers, I strongly recommend that you do not put off studying and, especially, practice on the Minor Arcana until later, concentrating only on the layouts on the Major Arcana Tarot for relationships, or some other vibrant topic.

Working with the Minor Arcana, you can see how similar cards of the same number are to each other, and through this get acquainted with the basics of numerology. In rows of the same suit, you will see the dynamics and development of the process, which will allow you to better understand this or that suit, what it is responsible for and how it can manifest itself. This knowledge will subsequently help you better understand the Major Arcana of the Tarot.

Having found out that in most cases we should use the entire Tara deck and not reject any part of it, however, there are situations when it is necessary, or at least especially recommended, to use only the Major Arcana. Let's try to figure it out with you when this approach is really appropriate.

First of all, we can distinguish such a group of layouts as ability layouts; here the Major Arcana allow us to consider a person from higher spiritual positions.

It is worth noting that here we are not talking about some kind of momentary self-determination within the framework of some situation, but about a global analysis of personality, similar to what is done when analyzing a natal horoscope. And although the horoscope is an unchangeable part of the personality, and we can repeat the layout again and again, nevertheless, such layouts on the Major Arcana should be treated exactly the same as the natal horoscope, and repeat it only after a long period of time or during special life changes, or even do it once in a lifetime. Such layouts include layouts for magical abilities, prof. orientation and the like.

The second group smoothly follows from the first. These are personal layouts, here by by and large we also talk about abilities, but in a broader sense, we analyze the various qualities of a person, his properties. One of these layouts is the layout of 12 houses, which tells us about astrology in the same way. If we use it as a personality characteristic, it will be very similar to the natal horoscope. By the way, in this case we can also use the astrological correspondences of the major arcana to the planets to get more information.

Karmic alignments belong to the third group. They let us know about past life(however, the Minor Arcana are appropriate here) and about the goal, the karmic task that we carry in our current life (here the Major Arcana is simply necessary). In principle, for this layout you can use a full deck, but in a number of key positions that speak about fundamental points, actually about karma itself, we need to lay out the Major Arcana.

The fourth group is special layouts on the Major Arcana for true love. They should be distinguished from romantic layouts for various “loves/dislikes” questions. The layouts of this group are not applied to a specific situation or person. They allow you to find out the general image, type and characteristics of the person who will suit you. Roughly speaking, find out about your betrothed. Here you will see his psychological traits and understand some aspects of interaction. This alignment does not indicate a specific person, but speaks about what kind of person you need to look for so that he becomes an ideal for you. In a sense, this is similar to finding a dual using a socionic test. An example is the Soul Mate layout.

Characteristics cards. This can hardly be called a layout, however, we will classify it as the fifth group. Here we are talking about special techniques when your card is determined. This can be a personality map derived using numerology, or the so-called Mission Ray. One way or another, only the Major Arcana are used here. An alternative is to define the map via psychological testing, as a rule, this is how the court card is chosen (by analogy with socionics and its 16 types), but you can also find options for the Major Arcana.

Meaning and combinations of cards in layouts

First of all, it is worth understanding that when making a layout only on the Major Arcana, you can no longer say that one of the positions is more important and stands out among the rest, since in each position you will have a major Arcana. You also deprive yourself of such features of layouts as the accumulation of one suit or another.

A total of 231 combinations of pairs of major arcana are possible, so we have a very limited number and even the opportunity to describe them all (although this does not seem necessary to me, and rather even pointless). However, for some practitioners this approach may seem very interesting, so you can do this work yourself and compile a table of all combinations of the Major Arcana of the Tarot in love readings, and then move on to other areas according to the degree of their demand. Why am I talking specifically about love arrangements?

Because questions in this area concern more than half of all cases of turning to the Tarot, and in each specific area (area of questions) the interpretations of the cards differ. Therefore, you will have to write down the meanings (which has already been done in the corresponding books) and combinations of cards for each specific area: love, work, health, and so on. Therefore, it will be possible to move on to working with a full deck - there are 3003 such combinations.

It’s funny, but in both cases we have the numerological number Six (2+3+1 and 3+0+0+3), which corresponds to the 6th Arcana of Lovers (Gemini sign) and is quite compatible with questions of mental exercise in the field of combinatorics. But for exactly the same reasons described above, I consider this activity futile and, ultimately, harmful. But still, let's talk about some interesting combinations of the Major Arcana that may be useful to you in practice.

Devil + Star can talk about a person’s addiction to alcohol or narcotic drugs, which are on short time give him inspiration. In order not to be unfounded, let's look at this combination in more detail. The devil speaks of dependence or attachment to something, and sometimes of base needs, desire for material things. But the Star, on the contrary, indicates spiritual, sublime feelings, fantasies and pleasures of the highest order, and it also heals psychological trauma and mental wounds.

By combining these two fields with each other, we will see that a person receives pleasure and gets rid of some problems using base material methods, which ultimately have a constraining effect on him. In our world, this method is usually narcotic drugs.

Magician + Wheel of Fortune or Jester + Wheel of Fortune. Player and darling of fate. The Wheel of Fortune gives us a space of options from which we need to choose something, to catch the bird of happiness by the tail. The one who can truly cope with fate and take advantage of a chance (and this means reacting quickly in constantly changing circumstances) is precisely the Magician. It is he who is responsible for experiments, tests, certain risks and corresponding opportunities.

It is no coincidence that these two cards are connected numerologically (1+0). There is a similar connection with the Jester (0); he also easily adapts to any circumstances, but not through experimentation and quick reaction, but through natural flexibility. In a sense, he goes with the flow. But in the case of the Wheel of Fortune, this is one of the most the best ways actions.

As we see, combinations of cards are not a divine revelation and are quite clearly deduced from the basic meanings of the cards. You just need to understand them well, understand the full scope of the meaning of each card, and then find the intersection points between them. But this work is very painstaking, dreary and to a large extent individual.

Which deck is best to use for fortune telling on the Major Arcana?

In fact, here we should say which decks are not suitable for the Major Arcana layout. Among the decks, some stand apart from those decks where there is no clear boundary between the Major and Minor Arcana. An example is the Osho Zen Tarot. And although there is a division into suits, if we look at the meaning of the cards and their images, we will soon understand that the author does not really separate them from each other.

Tarot Manara looks similar. In this same category I would include all decks that use deities, spirits and demons as images for cards different traditions. In them you will also notice that the Major and Minor Arcana are no different from each other; in both groups of cards we are dealing with creatures of some pantheon of gods.

The use of such decks for layouts on the Major Arcana does not seem to me the right choice, since you won't notice a significant difference. If there is no clear boundary between the groups of arcana, then there will be no fundamental difference between the layout on a full deck or only on the Major Arcana.

In a classic deck, for example Waite, this border is very noticeable, and it is written not only in the meanings, but also in the metaphysical essence of the cards. Thus, the Major Arcana correspond to the paths of the tree of sephiroth, while the Minor Arcana correspond to the sephiroth themselves. The Major Arcana corresponds to planets and zodiac signs, and the Minor Arcana are assigned decades (or specific positions of planets in signs, such as special case) and they have specific elemental correspondences. Thus, using only the Major Arcana for the reading, you will notice a significant difference in the results of fortune telling, and in the process of interpretation too.

In the end, it doesn't really matter which part of the deck you use for divination. In some situations, splitting the deck can be useful, while in others it is better to use the entire deck. In special layouts that have a complex structure, it is necessary to lay out the Major and Minor Arcana in strictly defined positions.

In any case, the result of fortune telling depends not on which group you chose, but on how you understand them and how well you can interpret them within the framework of the relevant issue and position. This is what you should focus on special attention. And if for some reason it seems to you that fortune telling only with the Major Arcana will be easier for you, then I strongly recommend that you take a Tarot course from a good teacher.

A deck of Tarot cards is one of the oldest magical artifacts that has survived to this day. Tarot helps to understand oneself and the secrets of the universe; they are used in meditation, and on a more practical level - for fortune telling. Tarot layouts help find answers to many questions, giving hints and pointing the way to solving a problem. Love and marriage, financial problems, placement new job- Tarot can answer many questions.

There are many different methods of fortune telling with cards, some are used more often, others are used extremely rarely. Tarot specialists know many layouts, but for most amateurs it is enough to know a few layouts for beginners, convenient for getting answers to the most common questions:

how to choose the right path to solve a problem;
prospects for the future, immediate and distant;
fortune telling for love and betrayal, for women - for pregnancy;
questions about how to resolve a difficult life situation and make a choice;
questions, how to find or change a job, and so on.

The simplest layouts: one and three cards

If a Tarot card reader has the most current issue concerning possible development situation, or suggesting a “Good/bad” answer, sometimes one card is enough. In the same way, you can make yourself a prediction for the beginning of the day and the very near future. You can simply pull a card from the shuffled deck, or lay them face down on the table and choose one at random. When interpreting, the direct and inverted positions are taken into account. Only the Major Arcana are used for fortune telling. To get simple “Yes/No” answers, you can ignore the interpretation of a particular lasso, paying attention only to its upright or inverted position.

The “Three Cards” Tarot layout is very indicative and simple. The Major Arcana are shuffled, three cards are pulled out one after the other and placed face down. The first of these means the Past, or the origin of the situation. Second, middle - The present, or the current state of affairs or the deep meaning of what is happening. Third - The future, the most likely outcome of the case, the outcome. Sometimes the third card can be seen as advice on what choice to make to resolve the situation. To clarify, you can also draw the fourth lasso from the deck: it will show how events will develop, where the chosen path will lead, if the fortuneteller accepts the advice of the Tarot.

On a less practical level, the cards mean the following:

1 - mental component of the problem;
2 - its physical embodiment;
3 - its spiritual essence.

The “Three Cards” layout is universal. You can use it to tell fortunes about a person, about the future, about relationships, about choosing a path, and so on.

"Cross"

One of the simplest and most effective layouts for beginners when fortune telling with cards, giving fairly clear answers to various questions. The layout is suitable for fortune telling for love, money, health, etc. For this layout, you can use the entire deck, but more often fortunetellers limit themselves to the Main Arcana. The positions of the cards in the layout mean:

1 - the essence of the problem, its core;
2 - what to avoid;
3 - what, on the contrary, should be done to successfully resolve the problem;
4 - the most likely outcome of the situation if the fortuneteller chooses to follow the advice of the cards.

The interpretation begins with the first card, which can immediately give a good clue. This layout for beginners is used for fortune telling about pregnancy, its course and successful childbirth; on the betrayal of a loved one and on the prospects in difficult relationships; for work and career, for love and marriage.

Partnership breakdown

This method of fortune telling for beginners is much broader than simple fortune telling “for love”, “for betrayal” and the choice of a loved one. Tarot readings can help clarify other forms of human relationships. For example, you can get an answer to how reliable your business partner is, or help you understand the meaning and essence of friendships.

First, central map layout - the so-called significator. It defines the essence of the relationship between the questioner and the one being told fortunes. The remaining cards should be interpreted in pairs - the seventh with the second, the sixth with the third, the fifth with the fourth. Careful fortune-telling with this scenario will help you understand why your partner behaves in one way or another, will tell you what he is thinking about and how he feels.

Schedule for the very near future: for a week

For the layout, 8 arcana are taken: the significator and one card for each day of the week. The peculiarity of the layout is that the cards each represent a different day of the week, and not just the next 7 days. That is, the first is Monday, the second is Tuesday, and so on, regardless of what day of the week the fortune telling occurs. The significator shows the general mood, the atmosphere of the week.

If an important event occurs on one of the days, then you can take three more arcana from the deck to clarify the situation in detail. It happens that during the week a lot is expected important events: getting a job, first date, leaving. In this case, you can tell fortunes on cards for each day separately. To do this, take 3 cards from the deck for each day - 21 in total.

"Pyramid"

Women use this method for fortune telling for pregnancy and marriage, for a loved one, and men choose this fortune telling on cards for work and career.

3 simple layouts for the current situation, for now

"1 card" layout. This is a simple layout that is good both for beginners and for those who are interested in a short answer without explanation. It can be used as an answer to a question or a prediction of the current day. In this scenario, it’s easy to study the deck and make personal notes. After shuffling the deck of cards, remove them with your left hand towards you. Mentally ask a question and draw a card. After that, carefully examine what is depicted on it. Without looking into the interpretation, feel what emotions the image conveys. Try to connect this image with your feelings. Write everything down in a notepad. Only after this read the meaning of the card and translate it to suit your situation
"3 cards" layout. Also a simple layout that will help clarify the situation in time. The cards are laid out on the table in the following order: “Past”, “Present” and “Future”. The first card is what circumstances influenced the situation. Average - the current state of affairs. The latter is a variant of the development of events in the current state of affairs
"5 cards" layout. This layout is more complex than the previous two. It contains additional cards that have a more intuitive interpretation. You need to do this layout after you have already studied the deck and can freely do analysis. We lay out the cards on the table in this order: “Past”, “Present”, “Hidden influence”, “Advice”, “Possible result”. “Hidden Influence” is a card that points out aspects of an issue that you have missed. You may be too focused on one area of your life, causing others to suffer. "Advice" is practical actions which will be the best in a given situation
