We all seem to come to a crossroads in our lives from time to time when we have big questions about the direction we want to go. These times can involve making decisions about career, relationships, and finances, to name a few. Should I take this new job? Is this the right person for me to marry? When is the best time to buy that new car?

In this instance some people might go to psychics, astrologers, or tarot card readers for advice. Many people believe that these people have the power to read our futures and advise us on how we should be proceeding now. This article is an introduction to tarot cards. We will explain the meaning of each card and try to help you understand why a reading could be a valuable tool at this point in your life.

The term “tarot cards” is recognized by most people. However, how many of us really know what they’re used for and what each card means? Tarot cards are beautifully-designed using ancient symbols and universal images that display the very essence of ancient knowledge and sage teaching. The deck consists of the Major Arcana and four suits of cards. Each card represents a special message to be included as part of the tarot reading.

Among the different tarot cards, the ‘Fool’ represents someone unenlightened; the ‘Magician’ represents someone extremely talented; the ‘High Priestess’ represents someone who possesses great wisdom and intuitive ability; the ‘Empress’ rules over the life cycle of birth, death, and rebirth; the ‘Emperor’ represents someone with great worldwide power; the ‘Pope’ represents the idea of following beliefs and traditions; the ‘Lovers’ represents love; the ‘Chariot’ represents struggle; the ‘Strength’ card represents just that, strength; the ‘Hermit’ represents someone soul-searching; the ‘Sun’ represents personal contentment; and the ‘Moon’ represents ideas of feminism and seduction.

Likewise, the ‘Star’ would reflect hope and a positive-approach. The ‘Swords’ are a suit and are used to predict mental changes and sufferings. The emotional life of a person and the changes associated with it are represented by the tarot suit of ‘Cups’. If you want to predict the changes in your work then the ‘Wands’ tarot suit will emerge. Materialistic things like money and luxury are represented by the ‘Pentacles’ suit.

The card of ‘Justice’ stands for justice while the card of ‘Death’ stands for the ’spiritual/mental death’. Self sacrifice is shown by the ‘Hanged Man’. The ‘Tower’ symbolizes a sudden change. Balance and harmony are represented by the card of ‘Temperance’. ‘Judgment’ stands for introspection. All these cards lead to the card of the ‘World’.

Now, that we have looked at the meaning of each tarot card, the next question would be: How does someone learn how to read tarot cards? To master the art and skill of tarot card reading is an ongoing quest. It requires study, practice, and a sharp intuition. The depth and value of a reading is very dependent on the reader’s level of skill. A simpler place to begin is to locate a website that offers a free tarot card reading. Use this as your introduction to this storied practice.
