How Tarot Works
The 78 Cards
A tarot deck contains 78 cards: 22 Major Arcana (the soul's journey) and 56 Minor Arcana divided into four suits — Wands (fire/passion), Cups (water/emotions), Swords (air/mind), and Pentacles (earth/material).
How To Ask The Cards
The quality of your question determines the quality of your reading. Instead of yes/no questions, ask 'What do I need to know about...?' or 'What energy is present around...?' Open questions receive open, powerful answers.
Reversed Cards
When a card appears upside-down (reversed), its energy is internalized, blocked, or expressing differently. Reversals aren't necessarily negative — they often point to inner work rather than outer events.
Using Your Reading
Tarot is a mirror, not a fortune teller. Use your reading as a lens to examine your situation from a new angle. The real magic happens when you apply the card's wisdom to your specific circumstances.
