Tarot as Reflection is a prompt system, not a prophecy machine. The cards hand your intuition a structure to think with.
What it is#
The major arcana (22 cards) tracks a life journey — from the Fool’s open start to the World’s completion.
Why it matters#
A three-card spread (past / present / future, or situation / action / outcome) covers most real questions.
How to read it#
Reversals aren’t ‘bad’ — they often mean blocked, internal, or softened energy of the upright meaning.
A simple practice#
A daily one-card pull:
1. Shuffle with a question#
Even a loose one: ‘What do I need today?’
2. Draw one#
Note the image before the meaning. Your first reaction is data.
3. Carry it#
Let the card sit in your mind through the day. It’ll ping at the right moment.
FAQ#
Does tarot predict the future?
It reflects your read of a situation. Treat it as insight, not a fixed outcome.
Do I need a special deck?
Any deck you like the feel of. Connection to the art matters more than tradition.
Can I read for others?
Yes, with consent and care. It’s their story; you’re holding the mirror.
