Interpreting tarot cards is a creative process that involves
your intuition and imagination.
It can be compared to storytelling. Each spread is like a frame that gives a structure to the story. The meaning of each tarot card depends on many factors like the position in that particular spread, the question that was asked and the surrounding cards. There isn't a right or wrong way to spread the cards. ** *It is essential to formulate or declare the question or issue at hand before you lay out the cards, not after. Doing so, insures that you will be connecting with the cards for a specific reason, not just random 'whatever happens happens', which can become confusing and not make sense when attempting to interpret. *** Simple Spreads: 3 Card Layout 1. Past This card show some significant event or situation of your past. 2. Present The second card refers to the present. 3. Future The last card gives you hints about your future possibilities.
Five Cards Tarot Spread This is a simple but powerful spread especially if you want to answer a specific question. 1. Past The first card shows the past and its influences to the present situation. 2. Present This card clarifies your present state, feelings and thoughts. 3. Hidden influences With this card we have a hint about influences that you might have ignored or you are unaware of. 4. Advice The fourth card offers you an advice. 5. Possible outcome The last card suggests a possible outcome of the events. This should never be taken with a fatalistic set of mind. The result is only a likely occurrence, a consequence of events and forces in motion at the moment of the reading. The actions and decisions of the inquirer can always change the course of events.
