Tarot Card Meaning and Psychic Readings
Tarot predictions and interpretation heavily rely on tarot card meaning without which they would not be possible; each card represents something in relation to the symbol it pictures. What people don't get to understand is that the full tarot card meaning comes from the spread or the combined explanations of the cards for the question of the life issue you expect to learn more about. For instance, in the Rider Waite tarot, the tarot learner has to know the meaning for all the seventy eight cards in order to be able to read them. From the Fool to the Queen and the King, the tarot cards can be studied, analyzed and understood in accordance with the sensible nature of every user.
In time all sorts of changes became manifest in tarot card reading; for people who have a more profound knowledge of the Kabbalah or alchemy, the symbols similarity cannot pass unnoticed. Thus, all sorts of symbols have been added in time so that the present-day form of the decks is a very complex one. We can only imagine the degree of complexity resulting from the adding of customization elements that make tarot card meaning even more subtle. Thus, many amateur philosophers choose to give their personal explanations to certain aspects from alchemy or the Kabbalah.
The tarot card meaning changes depending on the reading; thus, a single card receives different explanations in relation with the position it occupies in the spread and the vicinity with the rest of the cards. Very often, according to the reader's own judgment and common sense, a tarot card meaning can be discarded as irrelevant for the question that is under discussion. While in the Major Arcana, the figures have very distinct symbolism, in the Minor Arcana the emphasis is on the four alchemical elements to which the cards correspond. Thus, the swords correspond to the air, the cups to the water, the pentagrams/circles to the earth and the wands to fire.
In general lines, the tarot card meaning represents a possible choice along one's life journey: sometimes one can even see whether one is on the right path or has strayed away. This tarot card meaning is obvious for the spreads in the Major Arcana where each card matches a certain life aspect: the fool stands for the beginning of a journey, the magician indicates the way towards wisdom, the high priestess indicates the level of self-balance, the empress hints at love, wealth and pleasure, while the emperor represents claimed power and authority, and so on and so forth.
