Tarot: What is Tarot?

TheTarot is used to gain insight into situations. The Tarot gives advice about the past, the present and the future. Tarot cards provide clarity and certainty in a situation.

Tarot: Past - Present - Future

Tarot cards provide insight into the past, present and future of a situation, about which a question is asked. The more focused the question is, the more focused the answer will be. Tarot cards are not easy to interpret because various aspects have to be taken into account namely: the questioner, the situation and the specific location of each card. Also: a card can have various different meanings.

Tarot: Intuitive interpretation

Because the same cards can have somewhat different meanings each time, the method of intuitive interpretation is a great way to arrive at pure and targeted answers. The combination of intuition and knowledge, provides reliable advice. A situation becomes clear, and specific advice can be given. It is also possible to look at the future possibilities intuitively with the help of the tarot cards.

Tarot: The structure of the cards

A deck of tarot cards contains a total of 78 unique cards. These cards are divided into a major arcana (22 cards) and a minor arcana (56 cards). The major arcana indicates the main aspects in a situation or life. The minor arcana indicates details. The minor arcana (just like an ordinary deck of cards) consists of four colours, namely: Calyces (also called cups), Wands, Pentacles (also called coins) and Swords. Each colour has its own character:

Cups: Happiness and Love
Wands: Work
Pentacles: Matters concerning finance and material affairs
Swords: Matters relating to (inner) conflict or the solution of conflicts
