Before participation in free psychic readings a little background facts of the tarot cards used may be handy.

The original tarot deck having 78 cards may be divided into three categories: The 22 major Arcana cards, The 40 minor Arcana cards, and The 16 Court cards constructs these classes.

Furthermore the minor arcana and court cards are further separated into four suits namely wands, cups, pentacles, and swords.

The 22 cards of the major arcana can be described as “major aspects”. As this name indicates general subjects and responses can be expected through tarot reading exclusively using these cards, in a tarot spread.

The major arcana universally define the personality, intellectual state, and other crucial attributes of the querent (in divination and ritual, the querent is the asker of questions). In essence every subject posed to a spread composed of the major arcana can be solved. This fraction of the tarot deck begins its voyage with the number zero – the fool card and ends with the number 21 which is the world card.

The 40 cards of the minor arcana are understood as meaning “small aspects”. As you can guess and the name means the minor arcana shows specific directions in our personal lives. These cards regularly explain relations at home, at work, or at school. Any tarot reading using a deck comprised solely of these cards will give incredibly precise results regarding the querent’s query.

The court cards are the royalty of the tarot deck. These 16 cards are consists of Kings, Queens, Pages, and Knights. These cards often represent abrupt environmental impacts. An example of these impacts often include close family, friends, lovers, and coworkers. These cards may be emblematic of images present in the querent’s brain.

Kings generally correspond to a male of 36 or older most likely a fatherly figure with power, wisdom and experience. Queens also generally represent a female 36 or older with matriarchal aspects of authority, nurturing, understanding, compassion, and reliability. Knights are the couriers of the tarot deck and in general range in age from the mid twenties to the mid thirties. Knights might be male or female conveying a positive message when right side up and a negative message when reversed. Pages in general suggest children and naivete. They have an assortment of meanings frequently representing messengers, schoolchildren, young adults, or assorted issues related to the inexperience of youth.

The four suits of the tarot deck are wands, cups, pentacles, and swords. These suits symbolize diverse aspects of our lives. For example the suit of wands often correspond to work or social activities. Furthermore, the suit of cups commonly suggest love or emotional matters. The suit of pentacles usually represent money matters or health problems. Lastly, the suit of swords suggest problems or troubles the querent might be facing.

The four suits of the Tarot deck also have other prominent elements. For example the suit of wands relate to the element of fire and the astrological signs of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. The suit of cups match up to the element of water and the zodiacal signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. The suit of pentacles embodies the element of earth and corresponds to the sun signs of Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. The suit of swords forms a relationship with the element of air corresponding to the astrological signs of Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.

Performing your own tarot readings and trying a mixture of tarot reading systems usually helps in remembering the meanings of the cards, in various tarot spreads. Do not feel overwhelmed and bear in mind that practice makes perfect. I hope this plain presentation to the tarot deck helps result in the enjoyable understanding of tarot reading into your life.
