Pictures and symbols speak to the right side of the brain – that intuitive, sensing, automatically knowing side of the brain. That’s why psychics are able to use the Tarot for successful readings. Their intuition and clair-senses, such as clairvision and clairaudience, are open. They are naturally right-brained people.
We live in a left-brained society, and most of us lack a psychic connection. But we should still learn about this wonderful deck of cards, as it is anywhere from fun to empowering and enlightening!

"What is the Tarot?
Simply, Tarot is a pictorial depiction of our inner and outer journey. The classic Tarot deck, known as the Waite Rider Smith deck, is comprised of 78 cards. It is divided into 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana cards. Major Arcana means “big secrets,” and as the name implies, these 22 cards show deep, hidden, subconscious aspects of our being. Minor Arcana reveal smaller secrets and shed light on our day-to-day struggles (home life, money matters, projects etc.)The Tarot system is a powerful fortune telling tool, but it is also much more. The way the cards are numbered and organized corresponds heavily with that of Yoga and Tantra’s 7 chakra, Kabala’s Tree of Life, and other influential mysticisms. It’s easy to spot eastern symbols, Hebrew letters and other mystic elements on the cards.
Through Tarot’s 78 illustrations, psychics look inside your subconscious, past lives, the karma you carry, your soul desires, your current situation, and the direction your life is headed in every aspect.
What is a Tarot reading?
A Tarot reading is a psychical reading with the use of the Tarot deck. Because the deck was created with profound spiritual knowledge, most Tarot readings are life changing, to say the least.There are different Tarot spreads, the most popular being the ten-card Celtic Cross spread. Depending on your question(s), your psychic picks the appropriate spread and begins to interpret the cards. More cards can always be added to the spread, if you want to explore a particular aspect in your reading.
What’s the most important in a Tarot reading is not which cards you get, but how these cards interact with each other. The placement of each card is as relevant as the symbols on it. The interactions between locations and symbols tell your psychic details about your day-to-day and deeper feelings and needs. Most psychics report receiving clairvoyant and clairaudient messages as they focus on the cards. This is because most psychics have developed a relationship with the cards, and most Tarot psychics believe the cards are alive with consciousness.
How do Tarot readings work?
Most of us have experiences in which we think of someone for no reason and the next moment the phone rings: It’s them! We inadvertently telepathically connect. In a Tarot reading, psychics do this consciously and with clear intention. As we are all connected through an invisible energy web, Tarot psychics connect with us and with those around us, and see from a distance things we may not be seeing.The universal energy field that connects us is alive and pulsing. Psychics have long told us about it, but physicists only recently began to explore it.
With the help of Tarot’s powerful and archetypal images, psychics move through our conscious, all-knowing, all-sensing field. They move through time and space, and receive wisdom that is beyond our daily knowing. They help us see better, become wiser, and grow.
How do online tarot readings work?
Tarot readers don’t have to see you, or be next to you as they do a reading for you. The principles of our conscious energy field apply: using the cards, and through clair-senses, they connect with you and your soul, and see details about your life from where they are.Most Tarot psychics report that it actually produces better results not to see the Tarot querent (you) in person. They can then focus only on the reading in front of them. When you are physically present, even if you keep silent, your body language tends to interrupt the reading. Without your physical presence, psychics talk directly with the cards, and access pure wisdom with no interruptions.
Online readings are much better for everyone involved: the psychic and the querent.
How can a Tarot reading help you?
A Tarot reading offers a thorough look into your life and question(s). If you don’t have specific question(s), you can get a general life reading.The cards that come up in your reading give your psychic insights into dominant and subtle influences in your life, your behavior, others’ intentions, obstacles on your path, and recommendations for decision-making. Your reading shows where you are in relation to where you want to be, the path you’ve walked, the path that lies ahead, and how best to get to the destination you want.
Each Tarot card displays multiple symbols. As we’ll illustrate in the next section, each one of these symbols has layered meanings. Understanding the Tarot is a lifelong endeavor, and the more advanced a psychic is, the more information he or she sees through each symbol. There’s no end to Tarot’s depth. This rich, multi-faceted nature of the Tarot brings about detailed readings, through which you see your own life with new eyes.
How can you find a great Tarot reader?

Tarot Card Interpretations
Here are a few Tarot cards and their interpretations.THE LOVERS: Major Arcana VI
Perhaps the favorite card of most querents, The Lovers is Tarot’s ultimate love and happiness card. It depicts the elements of the relationship we all want in our heart of hearts: a beautiful naked truth, two human beings with open hearts, touched by the divine, blessed with purest intentions.
A closer look at the card reveals significant mystic meanings. The background looks unmistakably like the Garden of Eden, complete with a snake and an apple tree. The two people in the card, much like Adam and Eve, are naked. There’s a benign divine presence that’s overlooking the events. The sky is blue and a huge sun is present: it’s a beautiful state of being.
This is a personal Garden of Eden: it is the garden inside the querent’s heart, one that brings enlightenment through love, surrender and shedding of all ego layers. Making mistakes is possible, but not likely, as the woman in the card is looking at the divine presence. She doesn’t acknowledge the snake behind her. The man is looking at his woman. This is Eastern Tantra’s definitive recipe for happiness and fulfillment: man finds the deepest meaning of life through his woman, and woman finds her meaning by staying connected to divine love and channeling it to the world and to her man. Feminine love and openness saves everyone in this Garden of Eden.
What would all this mean for you in a reading?
For single women, The Lovers conveys a clear message: respect your feminine essence. Remember and honor your beautiful, feminine light. You have to see it first, because only then can men begin to see it. Leave your painful memories behind, and remember your magnificence. Realize that a closed heart brings more pain than an open one. Tear down the walls you’ve built. Relax into your trusting feminine nature; only it can lead you to what you want. You are worthy of love as you are, just remember your true nature.For single men, The Lovers is a sharp reminder: look for inner beauty. See the true essence of women and don’t get sidetracked by outer beauty. Even if you become rich and successful, without a real woman, life will feel dry and meaningless. Look for a woman who will be there for you now and forever. Look for the one.
For couples, this card is a confirmation of the appropriateness and timeliness of the relationship and of the partner’s great qualities. Cherish what you’ve attracted into your life. Enjoy this marvelous blessing with gratitude. Don’t let tiny matters ruin anything. What you have is strong, beautiful, and with great potential to last a lifetime.
THE DEVIL: Major Arcana XV
Even though The Devil is a feared card by most, it holds keys to true happiness and love. Depending on its location and relation to other cards in the spread, it can be a very positive card (or a warning, but only to get you to take the right actions, so you can be happy).
Can you see how similar The Devil is to The Lovers? Not only in layout, but also in terms of symbols? What’s more, The Devil is number 15 in Major Arcana. If you add 1+5, you get 6, which is the number for The Lovers. Both cards are in the Major Arcana – the suit in Tarot that reveals the deepest secrets of our psyche. The numerical connection has to do with emotional and spiritual transformation. Only through the tests of The Devil, one brings about the energy of The Lovers.
Look closely at The Devil. The naked woman and man are in chains. But their chains are loosely hanging on their necks; they are removable. These two are serving their inner devils by choice. They are acting out of past conditionings, under the influence of their fears and egos. They are not opening their hearts because it’s easier to deal with the devil they know than the angel they don’t know. They are sticking to old behavior patterns because they have never experienced the magnificence of real love.
The Devil’s torch is pointing down. People who repeat the same old cycles tend to lose faith. It becomes difficult for them to believe that things can change for the better. Sometimes they suffer so much that they lose the ability to look up at the skies and believe in a good power. To go from The Devil to The Lovers, a leap of faith is needed. Belief in self, and belief in the goodness of the universe.
What would all this mean for you in a reading?
For singles, The Devil is everything that’s keeping you from finding love. The Devil could symbolize outside influences, but why do those outside events happen in your life specifically? Because there’s something to realize, learn and change. The Devil represents the precise moment when you have to change! If you now make the right decisions and take the right actions, you can turn the obstacles on your path into stepping-stones. You can get to love and happiness very soon.If in a relationship, The Devil shows the unhealthy cycles in your relationship. The recurring fights, repeated arguments, same frustrations over and over again. The Devil is a sharp reminder: get out of the cycle now, or you’ll lose this relationship.
If you get both The Devil and The Lovers in the same Tarot reading, depending on their location, it could mean: a – that you’ve transformed old pain into new love, and this is a good place to be, or b – you have inner work to do to find real love.
Six of Wands: Minor Arcana, Wands VI
A well-dressed man on a horse, crowned with a wreath, and holding a wand with a wreath. He has people following him. His horse is noble. The sky is clear blue, and all six wands have leaves on them. They have flowered.
Wands in Tarot stand for fire and fiery energy. It’s the energy that propels us forward to start new projects, create new things, start companies, and support causes. It’s the energy that allows us to translate our thoughts into actions. Six of Wands features a man, a horse (represents masculine energy), and the element of fire (a masculine element).
The card is representative of substantial worldly success and the post-celebration.
In Tarot, left represents the past, and right represents the future. The man in the card is coming from the past and moving into the future, with confidence, optimism, and feeling good about what he has accomplished before.
What would all this mean for you in a reading?
In Six of Wands, you are celebrating a success, such as an impressive financial gain, a great promotion at work, an election win, or becoming part of a successful venture. Everyone around you is truly happy for you. It is something you had wanted so much, and it recently happened!It’s time for you to rejoice, feel good, and congratulate yourself from the heart. Don’t rush into any new projects yet. Ride the wave of success and the joy that comes with it. Share your accomplishment with the whole world. Tell your friends and family, and post it on social media! It’s not every day that people achieve such great things. You deserve the attention. You earned it!
Nine of Swords: Minor Arcana, Swords IX
Looks gloomy, doesn’t it? A person waking up from his sleep in the middle of the night, perhaps because of a bad dream, or stressful thoughts... He covers his face with his hands in desperation. He is alone in his bed. But make no mistake: this is a GOOD card!
Swords in Tarot stand for thoughts. While the figure in the card has too many thoughts, notice how none of the swords are pointed at him. They are perfectly parallel. This means, it should actually be very easy for him to organize his thoughts, once he stops worrying. Everything is working out for him.
He is covered with plush bedding, sleeping on a nice bed. His bedspread is covered with roses. He is worrying for no reason. The situation he is in is not bad at all; it’s all in his head. In fact, the situation he is in will lead to really good things.
Look closely at his bedspread again. Can you trace the zodiac sign symbols in the blue squares? The figure in the card has all the universal elements and powers he needs to accomplish his tasks! The whole universe is with him!
What would all this mean for you in a reading?
Stop worrying! Your life is great! Make a list of all the positive things in your life. Whatever you think is the problem, is not a problem at all. You have all the resources to deal with it. You have the strength, the time, and the means to deal with whatever you believe your obstacle is. Stop thinking and relax! The whole universe is with you!Your real problem is that you worry too much. You may want to discover why you’re such a worrier. Maybe it’s something you bring from your childhood. Maybe it’s a recent habit. Whatever it is, go down to the root of the problem and change the way you think about life. Worrying doesn’t help create a better future. It doesn’t help see things clearly. You have a great life, and all the tools necessary to be happy, find love, and achieve your goals.
