 Tarot readings using tarot cards is a tool used by people to help get answers or advice in the form of divination by tarot cards. There are 78 cards in a Tarot deck. These 78 cards are divided into two parts - the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. Each card represents a different meaning. The Major Arcana cards relate to the journey of life and life lessons, while the Minor Arcana are representative of daily life and relate to the cards of an ordinary playing card deck. The Tarot is often used in psychic readings as a tool for getting clarification.
Tarot cards have been around since the 15th century. They were originally used only by members of the church and thought to be a way to communicate with God. Through history, though, they have been used as a way to tell the future or give insight into life. Today, Tarot cards are used mostly by psychic readers. |

 There are many therapeutic uses of Tarot, especially by using of its images. Many people are turning proactive and are considering ways to incorporate Tarot into some fitness program or the other. Today, there are two distinct Tarot schools of thought – the divinatory, and the therapeutical. Where the divinatory Tarot is used to foretell the future – so to say, the therapeutic Tarot helps reveal and explain the psychological blocks, emotional blocks, fears, and behavior patterns. The behavior patterns impede an individual’s full realization, and the therapeutic Tarot offers guidance to resolve this and other factors.
For many people, meditating on some aspect of the Tarot enables them to focus on their quest for spirituality, as well as look towards their physical wellness. For example, meditating on the inspiration of the Star helps some to focus on their spiritual quest. Others find the Moon helpful in their ability to deal with those nagging hurts, pain, frustration, and guilt, among others.

 Tarot cards are a set of special cards used for fortune telling, divination, and solving problems, in addition to just plain playing. Although thought to have originated, either in China, Egypt, or in India, its true origins are lost in the mists of time. It is, however, well known that the Tarot cards, in their modern avatar, first appeared in the late 14th century, or early 15th century Italy.
The Mystery Of Tarot
Many mystics are of the view that symbols represented by Tarot emerged from the ‘Akashic’ records, a vast astral repository of universal knowledge that has the past, present, and future memories and wisdom of the entire human race. The basic figures and symbols found in all religions, myths, legends, are found within this collective pool of astral knowledge. |

The basic symbols of this Tarot card are the chariot, an armored warrior, sun or moon symbols, the encircled rod on the winged shield, black and white sphinxes (or lions or horses), sometimes at rest. Some decks have a canopy of stars and sometimes a throne inside the chariot. It is not an easy card to interpret, and could mean an eventual hard won success. This card stands for perseverance, a journey, a rushed decision, adversity, and vengeance; and in reverse, it symbolizes defeat, failure, and being vanquished.
