Learning The Meaning Of Tarot Cards

By Olivia Rostigus


Learning to read the Tarot is easier than you think. People tend to make it much more difficult than it really is. It really is not hard to learn to read the Tarot. The more consistent time you spend at learning to do psychic tarot readings, the sooner it will become automatic. You didn't learn to tie your shoes overnight and it is much the same when learning how to read the Tarot. Be easy on yourself when taking on a project like this.

Once you have decided to buckle down and spend time with your Tarot cards, each and every day you will learn something new. How fast you learn it will depend on how much time you spend on your new venture. You cannot learn it overnight, anymore than you learned to ride a bike overnight. Just be willing to put the time in and soon you will begin to build on your skills. You will be glad you did once you master this fun project. It is important that once you start, you continue.

The first step is to get yourself a good and very basic new deck. The Waite-Rider Tarot deck is a good one to start with. It has simple pictures and they are not hard to figure out when you are beginning. While there are many Tarot decks available, it is important to start with a standardized version.

There are many books available on learning the Tarot. The best one can be found in the Idiot books out there, similar to the Dummy books. The writers are experts themselves and did a wonderful job of teaching the Tarot in a fun and relaxed way. Learning the Tarot doesn't have to instill fear in you, but, rather it should be a fun process.

Internet books stores are the most efficient way of purchasing a guide book and a new deck of cards. A used deck is not worth buying as they can be difficult to work with for two reasons. One, they can stick together and two, they have other people's energy in them. You want a new deck to be clean, clear of other's energy, crisp and easy to shuffle. They tend to be large and learning how to shuffle them efficiently can take practice if you are not used to it. Used books are fine to purchase. I've seen them as low as $2. New decks run anywhere from five to thirty dollars.

The Celtic layout of the cards, or 'spread' as it is more commonly called, is the most basic and widely used. If you will start with this one, other spreads will come to you easily.

When beginning, to get a large piece of paper to write down the positions where you will be laying the cards. A large piece of 18x24 inch paper can be purchased at any arts and crafts store. I recommend this because at first, you may want to draw each of the 10 positions and meanings until you have them memorized. You could also use 4 pieces of computer paper taped together.

It is very important for you to work with your piece of paper which has the meanings of the positions labeled. This is where you will lay each of the cards down onto when you first begin. Do not skip this step! Memorizing the positions that the cards will occupy is one of the foundation steps which will be very helpful in a few days. You may even use this if you have not used the Tarot in quite a while. It will help you re-familiarize yourself with the basic positions of the cards.

When you first begin, keep your practice sessions fairly short. Like learning how to play the piano, the next day it is much easier. Our brains seem to absorb what we have learned that day and store it for future use. Make sure you don't go on information over-load and try to learn too much all at once.

One day, you might feel comfortable enough to begin reading for family and friends. Before you do that, get to know each card and meaning. Together, they all tell a story, so, learning how to put the story together will take practice. Learning the Tarot takes focus and the more time you spend with them, the better you will become. You may one day be proficient enough to do psychic readings using the Tarot to earn extra money.
