Tarot is a time-honored tradition of using a set of cards to gain insight and achieve greater control over issues involving relationships, career, health, life changes, and opportunities. Over 1,000 years old, with roots that go back 3,000, Tarot is a repository of ancient wisdom. Our modern playing cards are derived from the Tarot deck and can also be read as such.

The history of Tarot symbols is shrouded in mystery. Tarot is believed to have come out of China, India or Egypt. Modern tarot cards date back to 14th Century Spain, Italy and France

The Tarot allows us to become consciously aware of what is going on in the virtual realm. In using Tarot, we may access the personal, collective, or universal domain. It is an excellent tool and a highly popular form of divination.

Most Tarot decks consist of 78 cards, made up of 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana cards. The cards of the Major Arcana symbolize our mind, body, spirit, and emotions. The cards of the Minor Arcana are divided into four suits - Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles - that represent certain aspects of ourselves or symbols that we can use in our lives. Each card is symbolic of energies or spiritual truths related to the individual, depending on its position in a layout.

There are various Tarot layouts, the most popular being the Celtic Cross. The position of a card in a layout determines how that card is read. For example, the first position in the Karmic Spread represents Destiny. This card will offer spiritual guidance and look at the best outer manifestation of your being. The seventh and last position in the Karmic Spread is Karmic Balance, the principal lessons for you in this lifetime are shown by this card.

It is very important to realize that the Tarot doesn't always show us what we want to know, but rather what we need to know. You may be seeking information about a trip you've been planning and receive cards that are associated with a friend or loved one. This happens because an aspect of our higher-selves has placed greater importance on this information and needs to communicate these issues to you.
