Tarot card readings are intended to help you become attuned to your deepest thoughts and they relate a story against a backdrop of both present and future, helping you to understand your psyche. When learning the how to read tarot cards the lessons are split into two main areas. As well as the major and minor arcane the tarot cards are spit into the four elements earth, wind, fire and water. All of the information within these four elements can be active or passive. The second aspect of tarot card readings involve the ancient science of numerology, it reveals your future from your birth date. A tarot deck of seventy eight cards As stated previously, has twenty two Major Arcana cards and 56 Minor Arcana cards. There are several ways to conduct a reading. An entire deck gives a complete and complex picture, but you may use only the Major or Minor Arcana, or even one suit of the Minor Arcana. Symbols have an impact on our lives and therefore so do tarot images. For instance you see a fat man usually with a white beard and you think of Christmas, winter, Warmth, presents etc. However this is a universal stereotype which will be recognized by virtually everyone, even a non Christian. Other archetypes are personal to us; it is how we interpret that father Christmas. For instance if your father died on Christmas Eve the whole holiday will probably one that you dread. Conversely if your first child was born on Christmas day you are more likely to approach the holiday with a feeling of fun and anticipation. So this example demonstrates that tarot card reading is in fact a creative process and a good imagination to expand the picture in your mind will open up other possibilities. One of the challenges of a holistic tarot card reading is bring the two elements of personal experience and universal truths together. This does not mean that one has to be psychic to interpret tarot cards but you to be a successful interpreter of tarot cards you must be willing to think out of the box. This aspect of tarot card reading can actually be developed with practice. Every tarot card represents a core fundamental truth, but every time the card appears does not mean the same thing. The reading should reflect the present and the emotional and physical and spiritual states of the sitter, and as these change constantly the interpretation should change to reflect the current state. Nothing is built in stone with the tarot cards; there are no hard and fast rules, because we are all individual people. Relax and understand the symbolism and use your imagination to develop your technique. Practising tarot card readings should make your more aware of your spiritual side and your spiritualism should develop. Jung the eminent psychologist developed the theory of "unus mundus", or one world reality many other psychologists believe that intuition is simple being in touch with our psyche.
