When fortune telling with tarot cards, you need to know their meanings and distinguish between symbols and symbols. It will be difficult for beginners at first, but with practice and a strong desire to learn, you can become a real ace in this matter. When fortune telling, you need to correctly ask your questions to the cards and convey your main idea. And having thoroughly studied all the meanings of the tarot cards, you can come to an understanding of intuitive clues that will help answer the questions asked at the very beginning.


Rules for fortune telling using Tarot cards

When telling fortunes with tarot cards, you need to know some rules that beginners very often neglect. This small list of rules will help you achieve the best results of successful fortune telling.

First you need to kind of tame your Tarot deck. To do this, the deck must be constantly sorted out, laid out, and studied all the images and meanings of the cards. In other words, establish an emotional connection with the deck. It is useful to read special books to learn more about them.

In cases where the cards do not give an accurate image of something, you need to try to feel the cards intuitively. At the same time, calm and deep breathing during fortune telling is considered an assistant in such situations. It is believed that crossing your legs and arms is not advisable, as this interferes with information exchange with space. If fortune telling occurs through mediation, then you need to establish contact with the fortuneteller.

One of the main rules is that fortune telling should only be done in a healthy and vigorous state. Various negative and joyful emotions can interfere with the correct layout of the cards.

In order to start working with a magic deck, you first need to familiarize yourself with the meaning of each card - without this, complete and reliable fortune telling simply will not work. Interpretation of Tarot cards is the most difficult, but at the same time the most interesting process for a tarot reader. And today we will talk about how you can generally interpret cards, how to learn to understand classic and specialized decks.

Ways to Interpret Tarot Cards

There are two main ways to interpret magic cards. The first is to study the basic meanings of each Arcana according to the instructions attached to the deck, specialized literature, various courses and master classes. The second is an independent study of the symbolic field of each card, when the tarot reader simply takes the deck and gradually, carefully examining each Arcana, records his own associations associated with it.

It is difficult to say which method is better, since each master has his own opinion on this matter. So, for example, for a person with a rich imagination, interpreting the Tarot Arcana in an intuitive way may be more convenient than memorizing book interpretations. Some people generally prefer to combine both methods - familiarity with the book, traditional meanings of the cards, as well as their own elaboration.

A lot depends on the deck itself. For example, the interpretation of Rider-Waite Tarot cards usually does not cause any difficulties, since all Arcana, including the Minor ones, are depicted in the form of simple pictures, the meaning of which can be understood without even looking at the book. But Aleister Crowley’s Tarot of Thoth cannot be understood intuitively, since the Minor Arcana are not drawn, and the meanings themselves put into the cards by the author are very different from the classical interpretations. Of course, this deck will not be particularly difficult for an experienced tarot reader, but it will be quite difficult for a beginner to work with it.

Personally, I try to find an individual approach to each deck. I studied the Thoth Tarot from the works of Aleister Crowley himself, and only then worked through each card independently, adding my own associations to the traditional meaning, which I recorded in a notebook. I began to study the Wild Unknown Tarot intuitively, and only then, after recording my own associations, I looked into the MBK - it turned out that my vision of the Arcana is very close to the meaning that the author put into them. The interpretation of Tarot cards in layouts made on Nicoletta Ceccoli’s deck still varies for me depending on the topic of fortune telling: these cards are more reminiscent of metaphorical ones than traditional Tarot. The MBK for this deck seemed to me not at all informative. But it turned out to be difficult to study the Hermetic Tarot without a book attached to the deck.

As you can see, one the right way no - it all depends on you. For example, I know one girl who, on principle, does not look at reference books at all and works exclusively with her own feelings - her layouts always hit the mark, despite the fact that some of her interpretations are very far from the classical ones. So the interpretation of Tarot layouts is a purely individual thing.

General interpretation of the Major Arcana Tarot


Despite the fact that different decks may have different interpretations of the same card, the Major Arcana usually retain a similar meaning. Now we will look at the interpretation of the Waite Tarot cards - beginners can rely on these meanings. However, do not forget that the final interpretation depends on your personal perception and the specifics of the deck.

Card number Title of the Major Arcana Brief interpretation
0 Beginning, spontaneity, stupidity, something new, taking risks
1 Possibilities, action, concentration of will, awareness
2 Intuition, inner voice, mystery, potential, trust
3 Fertility, motherhood, abundance, harmony with nature, sensuality
4 Power, structure, strength, management, control
5 Commitment to tradition, compliance with rules, spirituality, mentoring
6 Relationships, choices made by the heart, love
7 Will, victory, self-affirmation
8 Inner strength, curbing passions, patience, self-control
9 Loneliness, spiritual search, inner experiences, rethinking
10 Fate, turning point in life, movement, change
11 Responsibility, decision, cause and effect
12 Suspended state, the role of the victim, letting go, radical change
13 The end of something, the transition to new level, inexorable force
14 Harmony, balance, coherence, moderation
15 Attachments, slavery, materialism, harmful passions
16 Unexpected changes, getting rid of something, revolution
17 Hopes, plans, self-realization, inspiration, peace
18 Illusions, fears, dark side, fantasies, imagination
19 Confidence, vitality, success, recognition, fame
20 Karma, rewards/punishments, inner challenge, rebirth
21 Uniting, achieving, seeing the big picture, success, completion

As you understand, the full interpretation of Tarot cards will be much broader than the meanings given in the table. But you need to expand the symbolic field of each Arcana yourself, based on your feelings.


So, we have talked about the main meaning of the Major Arcana, now we should move on to the Minor Arcana. We will also use White's Tarot interpretation as a basis. Please note that the interpretation of the Minor Arcana and court cards in different decks can change, sometimes quite significantly.

  • : New hobby, study, work
  • It can be difficult for beginning tarot readers to interpret a particular card when it appears in a thematic reading. So, for example, what can the Ten of Pentacles mean if we ask about a person’s feelings, if the main meaning of the card is money, property, inheritance? In fact, the interpretation of the Tarot for relationships is not as complicated as it sometimes seems. You don’t have to memorize some lists of keywords and copy the meaning of each card in various areas of life into a notebook - you just need to turn on your imagination and think about how the traditional interpretation can manifest itself in a narrower way.

    Let’s take our example with the Ten of Pentacles: since the card talks about property and money, then it can answer the question about a person’s attitude like this: he is more concerned about the material background of the relationship, some kind of personal gain, rather than feelings. This may well be a marriage of convenience or a couple where one person has some kind of material benefit. The girl who holds on young man because of money or a man having a love affair with a “good match” - this could be this interpretation of the Tarot card. The Three of Cups in feelings will mean true joy from relationships, a celebration of the soul, or a union in which lovers spend a lot of time in companies, parties, and lead an active lifestyle in society. The main thing here is to think a little and turn on your imagination - then you will be able to intuitively choose the correct meaning of the card in any thematic scenario, not only in love.


    Separately, it is worth mentioning the interpretation of cards in specialized decks, which differ from Rider-White, which is considered a classic. For example, the interpretation of Crowley's Tarot is simply impossible without studying the works of the author himself. This occultist's deck is based on the Kabbalah and astrological correspondences. She's filled esoteric symbols, including from Egyptian and Celtic mythology, so it will not be possible to interpret it purely intuitively. More precisely, if you wish, of course, it will work out, but without understanding the full depth of symbolism put into these cards by the author, you will not be able to see many of the subtlest nuances of interpretation.

    The interpretation of the Decameron Tarot is based on the world of human passions. This deck is best suited for addressing love relationship issues. It will not be possible to tie the interpretation of cards to the classics when working with it - you need to study the specifics of the deck and penetrate into the meaning intended by the author.

    The interpretation of the Tarot of Shadows by Vera Sklyarova is generally a topic for a separate discussion. Here you will not see the usual names of the Major and Minor Arcana, but instead you will meet dark angels, entities, phenomena and objects. So, for example, in the place of the usual Magician in this deck stands Satan, and the fourth Arcana is not the Emperor at all, but Lucifer. Among the Minor Arcana there are magical herbs and objects, human vices and tools of sorcerers - in a word, the deck is very far from the classics, and to understand it you need to be well versed in the world of black magic.

    As you can see, you can interpret the cards in different ways. And a lot depends on your personal perception and the meaning laid down by the author.

The meaning of cards in fortune telling is one of the fortuneteller’s supports when interpreting the layout. After all, it is important not only to ask the question correctly, to choose the necessary layout and cards, but also to give the correct interpretation. Below we will talk about the classic interpretation of Tarot cards.

In the article:

Interpretation of cards for fortune telling

Despite the existence of several schools of Tarot, in which there are sometimes significant and sometimes not very significant differences, most of the meanings are still similar. This way, you won't have to memorize new interpretations for each new deck. It is enough to know the classical meanings; based on them, it is much easier to understand and remember the non-traditional meanings of modern schools.

So, in any Tarot deck there is 22 Major Arcana And 56 Junior. This is a standard number, and no matter how the names or their meanings change, the number of cards remains the same. If your deck has fewer Major Arcana, or it is not divided into Major and Minor Arcana at all, this means that you are holding in your hands, and the traditional Tarot meanings will not suit you. For all other cases, you can safely use the interpretations presented below.

We provide a brief, very general meaning of each of the arcana, which can be used on or as a hint. It is important to understand that each of the arcana is much more multifaceted and broader in its meaning, especially depending on the position of the card in the layout, as well as on the other cards surrounding it.

Decoding Tarot cards for fortune telling

There are many options for the internal hierarchy of the Major Arcana: cards are divided into titled and allegorical, symbols of the main virtues and astrological elements, signs of luck and universal predestination.
J. Baines, S. Vronsky “Fate on the steps of the Golden Tarot”

"Jester"- this is the first, and sometimes zero, arcan, since some decks begin with it, and some end with it. The card speaks of simplicity, childish inexperience and trust in the world on the one hand, and excessive impulsiveness, “blind” trust, stupidity, on the other. At the same time, the zero lasso symbolizes great potential, unusualness, and often symbolizes "white crows", standing out sharply against the background of the gray mass.
"Magician"- the first of the Elders. Talks about the beginning of a new path, the emergence of a new idea. « Magician" indicates will and enterprise, symbolizes the onset of the stage of implementation and manifestation of initiative.
"Priestess"- the second lasso in the deck and the first female card. This map of knowledge. She talks about the need to trust yourself and your intuition, about the benefits of acquired knowledge about the people around you.
"Empress"- the next Major Arcana, which is a symbol of femininity. « Empress" - This is the embodiment of a woman in the roles of mother and housewife. Symbolizes harmonious relationships, marriage, the birth of children, family prosperity and general material well-being.
"Emperor"- the fourth card, talking about power and authority. Symbolizes a stable position in society, promotion and implementation of planned projects. Sometimes « Emperor" goes too far and becomes a brutal dictator. It also speaks of the help of an influential friend from the outside.
"High Priest"- fifth lasso, also presented men's card. "Priest" or « Dad" , as it is sometimes called, can indicate both the learning process, both literally and figuratively, and the need for humility and playing by the rules.
"Lovers"- the sixth lasso, which has the main meaning of love. Another, no less common, is the choice between two opposite and equally attractive options.
"Chariot"- 7 lasso, speaks of victory after a difficult struggle or of small victories with daily difficulties.
Following her "Strength" tells us about the inner strength of a person, which helps him overcome obstacles in his path.
Next "Hermit" First of all, it symbolizes the stage of loneliness, a period of temporary peace and silence, which is necessary for reflection and the search for meaning, patience, and acceptance of current events.
Tenth Arcana "Wheel of Fortune", as is already clear from the name, says that everything changes, nothing lingers in our lives. In practical terms, the card symbolizes a rapid change of events, a quick change in the current situation.
Eleventh Arcana "Justice" or "Justice", as it is also called, symbolizes rigor and impartiality. He says that it’s time to make a sound decision, objectively assess the situation, and not be led by emotions.
"The Hanged Man" - one of the heaviest lassos in the deck, indicates a person’s weak position, his dependence on circumstances, people and the inability to influence them. By my position « Hanged" offers a new look at the current situation. The card speaks of the necessary, often unpleasant sacrifice that must be made, as well as the lessons that are important to learn and understand in order to move on.
Thirteenth Arcana "Death", as a rule, does not imply physical death at all. It's about about metaphorical. A person experiences changes on a psychological level. The old is already gone, but what the new looks like is still unclear.
Next after « Death""Moderation" speaks for itself. It symbolizes balance in everything. The card shows the importance of avoiding extremes and patience.
The next one of the most popular among the Major Arcana is the fifteenth Arcana “ Devil". This card talks about addictions, negative influences, provocations, slavery in the spiritual and physical sense.
"Tower", the sixteenth lasso, speaks of imminent dramatic changes. However, unlike the thirteenth lasso, the situation changes precisely at the physical level. Usually under this lasso one is unexpectedly fired from a job, loses a partner, and so on. The events spoken of by the sixteenth lasso are difficult to experience. However, it is important to remember that " Tower» - this is always the beginning of a new stage.
Seventeenth Arcana " Star » speaks of dreams coming true, hopes coming true. This card also symbolizes the successful completion of plans, creative implementation and success in any endeavor.
"Moon » , the eighteenth Major Arcana, demonstrates fears and complexes. The map suggests that not everything is as simple as it seems at first glance. The lasso also symbolizes secret knowledge, magic and external influences.
"Sun » - the nineteenth lasso, appears to indicate the onset of a time of clarity, creativity, optimism, and unlocking potential. May indicate pleasant acquaintances, quick marriage and the birth of children.
Twentieth Arcana " Court » also a very positive card. She speaks of the beginning of a new stage, a time when your efforts will be rewarded and you will get what you deserve.

Jester
Straight position. This is a card of illusion perfect love, which in reality does not exist. She personifies the dream of prince charming on a white horse or sleeping beauty in a crystal tower.

WHEEL OF FORTUNE
Straight position. The most significant card in the layout is that a new cycle in love should begin. You don't know whether this is a new love, or a revival of an old one, or whether an existing love will move into a new stage, but the changes will be wonderful and significant.

In a reading for a woman, this card in any position means numerous delays, obstacles, inhibitions and problems from her past that prevent her from achieving true love at this stage of her life.

DEATH
Straight position. As the name suggests, this card speaks of the death of love, but also the beginning of a new one. Death old love is directly related to the emergence of a new one, and this is a favorable sign.

This card, in an upright or inverted position, indicates that the impulse has overcome the arguments of reason and that physical desire dominates the feelings and soul of the questioner. It is important to note that it violates accepted norms and therefore can be interpreted (with caution) as a betrayal of true love. This is, in particular, a very difficult card if the Tower appears next to it.

TOWER
Straight position. Difficult map. It denotes instant, sharp, strong changes in a relationship that until that moment had been loving. It means divorce, adultery, sexual problems, sexually transmitted diseases or impotence. This is one of the most problematic cards and it would be better if it never appeared in your readings.

STAR
Straight position. This card symbolizes new hopes if it comes after cards indicating crisis, destruction and fading of relationships.
