Psychic Readings and Tarot Card Meaning

By: Malc Smithson

Tarot card meaning is what gives power to interpretations and predictions; each card has a significance and a peculiar symbolism attached to it. What we often fail to understand is that the overall spread and the card combinations give the full tarot card meaning to define a certain life aspect. In the Rider Waite tarot, there are seventy-eight cards, and the first step beginners have to take is to learn what each of them means. From the King and the Queen to the Fool, the tarot cards can be studied, analyzed and understood depending on the every user's sensibility.
Tarot card reading has evolved over the years; for people who have a more profound knowledge of the Kabbalah or alchemy, the symbols similarity cannot pass unnoticed. Thus, with symbols being added on all sorts of occasions, the decks we have available at present are very complex. It is also common practice to complicate things even further by personalizing the cards and adding other subtle interpretations to the decks. Thus, many amateur philosophers have their own interpretations of the mystic representations in alchemy and the Kabbalah and they choose to add them to the cards.
The tarot card meaning greatly varies depending on the interpretation; thus, a single card can be given different explanations based on the location of the card in the spread and the meaning of the other cards in its vicinity. Very often, based on the reader's own judgment and common sense, a tarot card meaning can prove little relevance for the question under debate and thus be discarded. 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 pentagrams stand for earth, the wands for fire, the cups for water and the swords for air.
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 life aspects have correspondent cards: the fool represents the beginning of a journey, the magician shows you 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.
