Tarot Readings: Understanding Tarot Card Readings
Tarot and Astrology an introduction
The magical order, the Golden Dawn, linked the twenty two cards of the tarot’s major arcana with the planets and signs used by astrologers. If you already know something about astrological symbolism and meanings these links can be a useful way to deepen your understanding. These links are widely used in interpretations of modern tarot, but if you’re just beginning to study tarot you don’t need to study astrology as well. Simply be aware that these cross connections exist, and explore them when, and if, you feel it is appropriate. The keywords shown here relate to the meaning of the card, a fusion of planetary symbolism and tarot interpretation.
What is the Tarot?
The Tarot is a deck of 78 mystical cards which for thousands of years has been used for divination and fortune-telling. It’s also used now as a wonderful tool for self-discovery, psychological awareness and spiritual awakening. The tarot speaks a language which is accessible to all. It is a mirror of the human soul. Many people want to know Tarot meanings. The Tarot reveals your potential. It tells you about your current hopes, dreams or aspirations, and what you project into the future and the outcome of your choices.
Tarot Meanings: Symbolism, Stories and Self-knowledge and Tarots Major Arcana
The twenty two cards of the Major Arcana are richly-symbolic. Each of them resonates with fairy stories, myths, legends, representing archetypal figures found in literature and art from all over the world.
Much modern Tarot interpretation is influenced by popular psychology in general, and Jungian psychology in particular. Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) had an almost mystical concern with our spiritual nature, and his fascination with oracles, dreams, and astrology, was in many ways closer to ancient occult teachings than the psychology of the twentieth century.
