Tarot - A Free Tool for Self Development Men and women have consulted tarot readers for hundreds of years and most seek out this form of divination for one reason - guidance and reassurance on major life issues. On our website, we find that about 90% of our visitors are women, but there would seem to be an increasing number of men who are also finding comfort and reassurance from the Tarot. This has certainly been my experience over the last few years of face to face readings. Consisting of 78 cards the Tarot deck has two parts: the Major Arcana consisting of 22 'trump' cards the Minor Arcana consisting of 4 suits of 14 cards (Wands, Cups, Swords, Pentacles) Simply put, the Major Arcana represent major issues or events in our lives and the Minor Arcana represent the more day-to-day issues. As with most forms of divination, the Tarot can be a very powerful and useful tool to help someone reflect upon their emotions and thoughts, as well as providing illumination and understanding.

A Free Astrology Course in Natal Astrology
Astrology for Magicians and Metaphysicists - Introduction In the following lessons you will find an introduction to natal astrology. I am using the key-word method, because I realized that this is the most efficient way to gain the skills of natal chart interpretation. Conversely, you may use the same method to set up your astro trend generation units for the purpose of taking control of your stars! How to Draw and Evaluate an Astrological Chart The astrological chart is a representation of the astrological factors at the time of the event it describes. The following is not designed to give you an understanding of the astronomical factors involved. I am going to use the method that shows the planets as they are in the zodiac (European method) rather than the twelve-equal-wedges method that is still practiced in the Anglo Saxon countries. It is the ZODIAC in which you will draw all the planets, house cusps, and other factors of the chart. Inscribing the Aspects Abbreviations and Symbols

Fortune Telling Playing Cards
It's All in the Cards As a teenager, I came across an old fortune-telling magazine that featured a divination method using a regular deck of playing cards. This method appealed to me because the cards were related to Astrology. Long before people used cards to play games, they were used to foretell the future. Although there are different ways to approach cartomancy, we will show you a simple method and lay out the basic meanings attached to each playing card below. Once you know the basic meanings of the playing cards, you can choose a spread that is right for you. First things first, the suits (Hearts, Clubs, Spades, and Diamonds) are associated with the four elements, as follows: Ace of Hearts Love and happiness. Queen of Hearts A fair-haired woman with a good nature; or a woman with Water signs predominating in her chart. Ace of Clubs Wealth, prosperity, unexpected money/gain. Queen of Clubs Dark-haired, confident woman; or a woman with Fire predominating in her chart.
Tarot Card Interpretation & Meaning - The Major Arcana
The major arcana are in some ways the most important cards in the tarot deck. Generally they are the cards that a new tarot user will learn first; partly because there are fewer of them, (there are 22 major vs. 54 minor arcana cards) and partly because they are considered to signify the deeper, more meaningful, more “spiritual” parts of life. Of course all parts and events of life are important to us as we are experiencing them, but the major arcana are signposts to things, events, and people, that are meant to be taken more seriously and looked at more closely, in general, than the minor arcana cards will generally represent. For example, consider the first card in the majors, (numbered zero) “The Fool.” When you lay out a spread or perform a reading and you see mostly major arcana cards, you can assume that the matter in question, and/or the querent’s life, is more profound or in a more “deep and meaningful” stage than usual.
Tarot Card Meanings
Today's Tarot deck has fixed upon the 78 card standard that was popular in Northern Italy during the 16th century. The cards of the Major Arcana usually represent significant issues in the life of the Querent. They are key principles core to human life, such as life and death, ethical dilemmas, spirituality, and interaction with other people. One can view the Major Arcana as spiritual chart that the Querent can use to plot their course as they make their journey through life and beyond. The Minor Arcana often deal with the mundane and superficial, and how the Querent reacts to them. However, when doing a reading the distinctions between Minor and Major often blur, as the cards interact with each other and paint a seamless picture of the Querent's life and influences. The following Tarot card meanings are the interpretations I have been using for decades, evolving from years of experience and study.

Tarotphelia's Daily Spread
I made up this spread because I was dissatisfied with just one card for a day- I like a spread that gives more specifics. 1. What I should do today. 2. What I shouldn't do today. 3. 4. 5. People not might be comfortable asking for so much direction, but I have found it very useful. There are sometimes relationships between the positions to watch for. The unexpected & the spiritual advice cards can come in very handy to to tip you off to stressful or nice things coming , and give you a direction for how to deal with them the best way. If the cards are layed out and seem to have no relation to one another, sometimes it is a general message to be taken as a whole, rather than based on the meanings of the positions. Tarotphelia
