Some say the best way to read the tarot “Major Arcana” cards is to carefully examine each one for thirty seconds. Write down your initial impressions, intuitions and impulses about what the card is trying to convey or what the back story might be. What is the first thing you observe? How does it make you feel? What is the mood of the character? Next, spend a few minutes looking carefully at the finer details: What are the shapes, symbols and colors? What do you think of when you see these details? Lastly, write a story about the situation in the card, the characters and the archetype of human experience that you feel it relates to. What lesson should the characters on the tarot cards learn? Once you’ve done this, you will begin to gather a sense of how to instinctively read the cards.
Let’s take a look at a few of the Tarot Major Arcana cards. The Fool, or number zero card, can have variable meanings depending on the question asked. In a positive light, the Fool represents adventure, a fresh start, boldness, freedom, innocence, blind faith and youthful exuberance. On the downside, the Fool can mean impetuousness, immaturity, inexperience and blindness to consequences. In some ways, the Fool can be the most linked card with the rest of the tarot cards. The Fool is on a journey of self discovery and symbolizes the “inner child” combined with the “inner sage.” The Fool alerts us of choices we need to make in our lives, a new life cycle met with energy and enthusiasm, or keeping faith in our impulses; yet, if shown in reverse, the Food can signal reckless decision making, our inability to accept responsibility or mental and emotional restraints.
One of the most dreaded cards in the tarot deck is #13, which is the Death card. In its assumed negative form, the Death card can alert us to stagnation, inertia, inability to accept change, agonizing transition, periods of loss, lack of opportunity, hardship, fear of change or the loss of a friend. However, on a positive note, tarot card readers say the Death card may also mean an ending, a transformation, closure and sweeping change. Sometimes Death actually means a radically different, new beginning: a new job, a new relationship or a new outlook. Whatever the case may be, you know when this tarot card comes up, it means there is something monumental going on in your life.
One of the tarot symbols people usually like to see is # 6, which is the Lovers. When reading tarot cards, this one almost always symbolizes good things to come and positive emotions. The Lovers indicate a deep passion and sexuality, romance, bonding, trust, devotion, health, vulnerability and self-sacrifice for a fulfilling relationship. In some instances, it may be a reminder to remain open to communication or to strive for “the whole package.” The Lovers can pertain to a new relationship, an existing relationship, a job partnership or connectedness with a family member. The tarot cards can hold significant meaning for all seekers who approach their live tarot readings with an open mind.
