What is Tarot?

Tarot is a deck of cards, usually 78 in total, used to explore the energies surrounding different areas of your life. Each card has its own symbolism and meaning, and by interpreting the cards, you can tap into the collective wisdom of the universe, your higher self or even your guides. Many people use Tarot for self-reflection, divination or spiritual guidance. But one of the best things about Tarot is that it’s all about you—because your thoughts, feelings and intuition are a huge part of the process! 🌸

About the Tarot Deck🎴

Tarot decks are split into two main parts:

1. The Major Arcana 🌟: These 22 cards are the BIG energies—the major events or lessons in life. They’re like the cosmic milestones of your journey! Some well-known ones are The Fool, The Lovers and The Moon. When Major Arcana cards show up, it's time to get excited because they often signify something life-changing or a big lesson that’s unfolding.

2. The Minor Arcana 🔮: These 56 cards represent more day-to-day stuff, like challenges, opportunities and the little things that make life magical. The Minor Arcana is divided into four suits:

Cups: Emotions, love, and relationships. ❤️

Swords: Thoughts, communication, and challenges. ⚔️

Wands: Action, creativity, and energy. 🔥

Pentacles: Money, career, and stability. 🌎

The cards of each suit have courts and numbers cards that provide even more insight to your reading! When you're ready to learn more about the cards, it's time for Tarot 102.

How to use Tarot

Let’s get to the fun part...Tarot is like a conversation, but instead of speaking out loud, you’re listening to the symbols, images and vibes of the cards. Here’s a basic breakdown:

#1 Set Your Intention🎯

Before you shuffle those cards, take a deep breath and set your intention. Ask yourself, “What do I want to know today? What guidance do I need?” You can ask about anything, from career to love to general life advice. Setting your intention will help focus the magic!

#2 Shuffle the Cards🃏

Think of shuffling like mixing up a cosmic potion. While shuffling, think about your question or simply let your intuition guide you. Some people like to ask the universe to “show them what they need to know.” There are no rules—just let the cards fall where they may!

#3 Pull Your Cards

Now, it’s time for the magic! You can pull as many cards as you want. Some people love doing a one-card pull for daily guidance, while others prefer a three-card spread for past, present & future. The possibilities are endless and you can always add more cards if you're looking for deeper insight. The important thing is to just always follow your intuition!

Tips for reading your cards...

Once your cards are laid out, take a deep breath and begin interpreting them. Yes, YOU can interpret them! You've got this—here are some tips to guide you.

Trust your intuition: The Tarot is a tool to help you connect with your inner guidance. What do the images, symbols and colors make you think of? What messages come to you intuitively?

Ask open-ended questions: Instead of yes/no questions, try asking things like “What do I need to know about…?” or “What energy is surrounding me right now?”

Don’t rush it: Tarot is a beautiful process, so take your time. If you’re unsure about a card’s meaning, just sit with it & meditate on it. Listen to your inner wisdom—don't rush! (When you're ready to learn more about the cards, check out Tarot 102.)
