TAROT CARDS READING TUTORIALS GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS CHAPTER 2
Tarot Cards Reading For Beginners Tutorial Guide By Mystic Writer Angelita Fiona Chiara Di Luna.
Elements
Tarot Cards, alongside with astrology, and alchemy, are based on the concept of elements. The Minor Arcana are divided into four elements. In order to understand Tarot Cards, you need to understand how one element differs from another. These are fundamental differences.
WANDS is FIRE:
Action, inspiration, drive, willpower, passion, ambition
CUPS is WATER:
Emotion, feelings, intuition, relationships
SWORDS is AIR:
Logic, ideas, intellect, communication
PENTACLES is EARTH:
Nature, body, material world, stability
Conditionally Fire and Air are considered active and masculine elements, Water and Earth are conditionally feminine and passive.
Water and Fire are emotional. Fire’s emotionality is external, Water’s is internal.
Earth and Air are intellectual or rational.
You will find a description of the elements in any Tarot reference book.
But in order to learn Tarot Card divination, for beginners it is important to connect your book knowledge with your real experience.
Let’s take the suit of Fire, which was the card from our example about Lui. What associations and symbolic words do you have when you think of real fire? Bright, fiery, impulsive, active, hot?
Gradually add your knowledge of the elements to the interpretation of the each card.
Numerology.
The science of Numerology is a system allied with Tarot to determine meanings and values through numbers.
Used together, Numerology and Tarot is making a single predictive system, giving an accurate layout of the past, present and future of a person.
Numerology in Tarot uses numbers from “0” to “10”.
Numbers are spelled out in the Major and Minor Arcana (except for court cards), filling artistic archetypes with additional meanings. The knowledge of the the numerical series is the key to the correct interpretation of the Tarot layout of symbols and omens.
Here is the general information hidden in the numbers:
0 – is the number of zero, relating to the total disappearance of Existence. It’s the unmanifested potency of the future, in which the past, present and future are mixed. The number of the unmanifested.
1 – is the numeral of the indivisibility of the Absolute. The sign of God – the Demiurge, one in himself. Archetype of the higher consciousness filling the Universe. The number represents the Sun.
2 – is the principle of duality. Binah, in the system of Sefirot. Male and female at the moment of creation of life. Archetype – Mother bearing the seed. The number ruled by the Moon.
3 – has sacred spiritual meaning. It represents Spirit, Soul and Body connection. Ruled by Jupiter, it’s number of stability and divine harmony.
4 – physical form of stability, strength, health, diligence and perfection.
Everything is made up of four elements-earth, water, air, and fire.
Patronised by the Lunar Node – Rahu (Uranus) .
5 – is very special number. A combination of material and divine. According to the Kabbalah, it is the number of the perfect man, rid off his animal side. According to the Bible, it is the symbol of the Man God. The 5 is also found on the human body: the five fingers of the hand and feet, the five senses (touch, taste, sense of smell, hearing and the sight), the five members (two arms, two legs and the head, the five bones forming the metacarpus, the metatarse and the brain-pan, etc.
5 is symbol of the universe.
5 is Symbol of the perfection in Ancient Mayas.
It’s ruling by planet Mercury.
6 – is a form of perfection. Harmony, order and stability. Crystal structure or honeycomb. Links with dark forces and supernatural harmony that has no natural analogues in nature. Devilish static, as opposed to the Divine dynamism of life. 6 patronized by the Venus.
7 – the spiritualisation of living forms and natural transition. The evolution of creation from simple to complex. The number is karmic, attributing to the spiritual search and comprehension of the laws of the Universe. In astrology the number 7 is associated with the planet Neptune, which makes you dreamy and restless by nature.
8 – is the Symbol of Infinity and a symbol of eternal transition. Spiritual Reincarnation. The number of inevitability of eternal destiny, where death is the point of transition to a new state. It’s ruled by Saturn.
9 – is the fullness of experience and comprehension, ready to move to a new level of Universal Being.
It is a step into a new and unknown Incarnation. This powerful number is patronized by Mars.
10 – is the initial unit of a new turn in the development of the spirit. The spirit enters new starting positions, leaving forever the passed levels of incarnations. Mystery, the unknown and another dimension. A snake biting itself by the tail of Infinity. The integrity of the completed system. A new round of incarnations.
These are the general meanings of Numerology in Tarot Arcana.
The calculations allow us to make a more accurate analysis of the situation or event. A certain combination of numbers can greatly change the meaning of certain cards, which are subject to interpretation.
Symbols, objects, plants, animals
Tarot – not a simple system, often knowledge encrypted in this or that symbol is not clear to the uninitiated. But subconsciously we understand and read most of the symbols. What do you associate grapes with, appearing on several maps? Fertility and abundance? And the dog? And clouds? And now, when you will meet a grape or a dog on the map, first look into your subconsciousness, perhaps some information is already stored there. And after that read about the symbol you saw either in the description of the card or in the encyclopedia of symbols. Tarot is not as complicated as it seemed at first glance.
Ranks In Tarot.
Rank indicates the maturity level of the character on the card.
