You will not know the next week’s winning lottery combination through a set of tarot cards. A tarot card reading session is not just about the symbols on the table – it is also about your subconscious opening up and the expertise of the reader in helping you so.

Tarot Card Basics

At the center of it all is the deck of tarot cards. A single tarot deck comprises of 78 cards, further divided into two parts – the minor and the major arcanas.

The Major Arcana consists of the first 22 cards and is believed to represent the connection between the material realities of your life and your instinct or intuition. The Minor Arcana 56 cards are divided into four themes. These cards or symbols illustrate other aspects of life – conflicts, security, and ambition, just to name a few.

Understanding Life through Tarot Cards

Using tarot cards for love advice is one of the most common activities amongst practitioners of tarot reading. The minor arcana cards that deal with issues like relationships and love are the cup-themed cards. When it comes to love, a lot of times we stick to our own interpretation of things – especially when we have someone in mind. A tarot reading session will show you a larger picture view of where your current situation puts you.

Is this the right direction? Is there a possibility for you to enjoy reciprocal feelings? Tarot cards will not tell you the exact events – after all, the future is always in flux. They will show you the distinct choices you can make and the different possibilities that can ensue. A reading session will also connect the dots from your past and make you understand how relevant those past events have been in shaping your current choices. Your expectations of love can sometimes be a result of chasing the past or escaping from it. The more you understand these connections, the more clarity you will have about your relationship (or future relationship).

A Positive Experience
