Being specific on asking stuff are more likely necessary upon Question reading. The tarot card reader will not just answer yes or no questions as she will give you the specific answers as such.

Your question should be focused, but not overly detailed. Examples ask how can you balance your work and friends, but do not go too far like telling your work time and when you we’re with your friends. Only include the minimum level of detail needed in order to express what you want to learn from the cards.

Focus on yourself if the reading is for yourself; make sure your question focuses on you rather than on someone else who you think may be the root of your problem in life.

Do not take sides, in order to stay open to other points of view, your question has to be neutral and not express a defined idea that your vision is automatically the right one. The cards can give you assistance and help if you ask for it.

If you’re a beginner at tarot card reading and interpretation, there is one important concept you need to learn: card pairing. Most tarot readers base their interpretations on two things: the single cards and the whole spread. Each tarot card has an inherent meaning that can give good insight to questions or situations. But the meaning of the cards may change depending on those adjacent to it and its position in the spread. This combination, therefore, lets the tarot reader tell the full story.

Card pairs, on the other hand, can bring forth insight on the querent’s balance issues. It tells us which personal characteristics or elements in our lives we need to focus on to achieve balance.

There are three types of card pairs:

• Permanent pairs – Tarot cards that are permanent opposites. The most known are The Magician and the High Priestess and the Eight of Swords and Four of Wands. For the first example, the Magician represents action while the High Priestess represents inaction.

• Occasional Pairs – These are the pairs that arise by chance and their relationship only becomes obvious during the particular reading. If the idea behind the cards becomes meaningful to the querent, then it can be considered an occasional pair.

There are two basic types of tarot readings – open readings and question readings. Open readings don’t require a question are used for general occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries or a turning point in one’s life. Question tarot readings can be used to explore personal questions.

The question tarot reading starts by setting the right mood. The querent should open himself or herself up to the insights brought by the cards. The reader, on the other hand, should feel secure about his or her abilities. The environment should be relaxing and comfortable, but allows full concentration for both parties.

Next, it’s time to ask the question. The reader may ask the querent to touch the card while thinking about the question to transfer some of his or her energy to the cards. The reader can make an opening statement, either in the form of a prayer or an affirmation, to welcome in the message of the cards. The querent may then ask the question out loud. Some may prefer to write the question before hand, and at this point can read it from what was written.

The cards are then shuffled and cut. Next, the tarot cards are spread. There are several spreads available. The selection is usually based on the reader’s preference or specialization. Some of the most popular include the Celtic Cross, the Horseshoe spread, the Tetractyte, the Mirror Spread, Mandala Spread, Star Spread and even the single-card spread.

In a tarot deck, the Fool is the unnumbered card. It is also called the Jester. It is one of the most significant cards in the deck as it is said to represent us. It is said to be the card of beginnings. He represents innocence and spontaneity.

When weaving a tarot story, it is generally called the Fool’s Journey. The way the Major Arcana cards are spread during a tarot reading is the path the Fool takes through the mysteries of life. At the start of the story, the Fool is open and fresh. He is ready to embrace whatever comes his way.

His innocence is bordering on naivety. This is obvious in how the tarot card reading is depicted – usually with the Fool teetering on the edge of the cliff. He is unaware of the possible dangers that could befall him. As the story unfolds and he meets other characters or archetypes found in the tarot deck, the Fool is said to learn more about life. The last deck of the tarot cards is the World, which represents fulfillment.

A type of reading that doesn’t require a question is called an open tarot reading. It is ideal for situations like birthdays, anniversaries, first day on the job, prior to a trip, before the birth of a child or when moving into a new home. This is a great reading to mark important questions and to find out how things are going to fare given the changes in one’s life.

An open tarot reading usually starts by setting the mood. Both the tarot reader and the querent should empty their minds and be in a place that is relaxed. Next, instead of the usual question posted during a tarot card reading, the reader starts by making a statement. This is a sort of welcoming the message of the cards.

Then, the shuffling of the cards takes place. As with setting the mood, it needs to be consistent that both the reader and the querent keep a relaxed atmosphere, a stress-free thoughts and most importantly, an open mind. During the shuffle, the reader has to cut the cards grabbing some from one part of the pile and dropping this into the other pile. This helps thoroughly mix the card. It would also be a good idea to ask the querent to touch the tarot cards to be able to better facilitate the reading.

In most of the popular tarot card spreads all 22 major arcana cards are used during the shuffle. However, depending on the spread chosen, only a handful will be laid out for the tarot reading. Despite the many available spreads that let you tell an entire story, there is also the single-card spread.

The single-card tarot reading is used to provide a concise reading. Some say it lacks the depth of a multi-card reading, but contrary to what others believe, it can actually be more direct to the point. This is applicable if the querant only has one question that needs a definite answer.

With this kind of spread, you will not be able to base the meaning of the tarot card on its position. The only possible interpretation based on how it is laid out is if it is reversed or in an upright position. Other than that, there are factors you can use to interpret a single card.

To help the querant better understand his or her fate as told by the tarot cards, a good reader would pull everything together by telling it in story form. In most cases, The Fool represents the querent and his journey is defined by what the cards say.

When creating a tarot story, it needs to be done spontaneously. Tarot readers must understand what the cards mean. Once this part has been mastered, the reader can then start practicing spontaneous storytelling via the cards. As time goes by and the tarot reader gains more experience, he or she will be able to seamlessly combine both – telling the story of the cards based on its actual meaning.

Most stories have the following part:

• The hero (represented by the Fool)

• The problem or conflict

• The role of the guides

• The projected outcome

• Action plans to help the querent shape his or her destiny into a more positive outcome
