Thought I would teach a little about tarot so you would have a better idea.
It's not scary.
It's hopeful.
Helps put things into perspective.
A deck consists of 4 suits.
Pentacles, Cups, Wands and Swords.
Each suit represents an aspect of your life.
Cups - Emotions. Love. Relationships.
Wands-Energy. Ideas. Creative.
Swords-Communication. Intellect. Struggles.
Pentacles-Earthly things we don't take with us. Careers, education, belongings, manifestation.
There are 78 card in the typical deck.
You have 40 MINOR ARCANA cards that deal with every day things in your life. (1-10 of each suit)
You have 16 COURT cards. A Paige, Knight, Queen and King of each of the four suits.
And 22 MAJOR ARCANA cards.
These deal with major things in life. The big things that govern your life.
I'm going to start with the MAJOR arcanas.
There are 22 but they start with the number 0. That's who we're going to talk about today. The journey from zero to number 21 is a representation of your journey through life. Or your journey through something. You start out as The Fool and you end with The World. Everything in between is your journey.
The Fool
Nimber 0
This card represents beginnings, freedom, innocence originality, adventure, idealism, naivety, spontaneity.
You see a youth taking his first steps until the world. No worries. Living in the moment. Not necessarily aware of his surroundings. (As you can see, it looks like he is about to walk off a cliff.)
Had nothing with him(not a lot of baggage) except a small knapsack on a stick.
He's joyful, curious, excited.
He approaches each day as an adventure. (As you do when you start a new adventure in life)
He's optimistic. He believes anything can happen in life. Many opportunities.
He has no worries. Doesn't seem trouble by the fact he can't tell what he will encounter ahead.
I often tell people(myself included) we need to be more like The Fool. Get out of our head and live in the moment.
When receiving this card in a reading, it is asking you to be courageous. That everyday is a chance to open up a new area in your life and with that comes a mixture of anticipation, wonder, awe, and curiosity.π
Breaking it down by categories...
Love-New relationships. Fun. Light romance.
Career-New job. New business. Breath of fresh air at work.
Finances-Spontaneous spending. Financial opportunity.
Stay tuned ahead for #1
