Symbolism In The Cards

by Vikki Anderson

Quick Guide Into Symbolism Armor – Any figure wearing armor was hurt in the past and is taking steps never to be hurt again. They are protecting themselves. Birds – The Querent must take a necessary risk to achieve her goal or objective. Black Birds – These indicate hidden secrets or negativity that is yet unseen. (Notice which part of the card they occupy – past: left; present: center; or future: right). Chains – Chains signify feeling imprisoned, helpless, restricted, or limited in some way. These are self-imposed feelings, not reality. Clouds – Puffy – Things are brewing behind you. Be prepared for life to get a little more upsetting in the near future. Clouds – Streaking – You are in the middle of fighting at the moment and things have escalated beyond your control. You must take control of the situation. Beard – A man with a beard is enlightened, wise, and honorable, with much integrity and spirituality. Black Animals – Animals denote hidden meanings, secrets, or concerns where the animal is can help one understand if the Querent is noticing the issue, avoiding it, or not seeing it. Castles – These indicate love, happiness, prosperity, joy, inner peace, inner strength, self-esteem, and confidence. (This also applies to towers, houses, tents, or cities-any place in which one can live). If the castle is behind the figure in the card, one must pay more attention to his home life to reap the wonderful benefits of having a castle in the card at all. Is the castle in the past, present, or future? Facing the castle, home, tower, or tent is the goal of the Querent. If one is not looking at the castle, there are none of the benefits signified from the symbolism. Cement – This is the most grounding substance on which to stand or sit. It indicates determination, security, stability, focus, endurance, and being totally grounded. Cliffs – You need to make a decision quickly before falling over the cliff and finding it hard to recover. Making the proper decisions in a timely manner will save you from issues and concerns in the future. Clothing – Clothing is an integral part of interpretation. What is the figure wearing? The clothes closet to the body is how they were in the recent past; the layers of clothing over that is how they are now and all the emotion and traits that are relevant to them at this particular time. Circle(s) – Circles stand for completion, eternity, oneness, wholeness, following a total cycle of beginning to the end of a situation, the one, the all, and totality. Crown – A crown symbolizes royalty, regality, knowledge, and high status in life. What color is the crown? Cups – Cups stand for the water signs of the zodiac: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pieces. They represent nurturing love and a desire to be thoughtful, kind, compassionate, and sensitive. They also represent love relationships or extremely close friendships. Dog(s) – The beloved house pet symbolizes fidelity, loyalty, and trust. Feet – The color on the figure’s feet is their grounding color or foundation. If it is blue, they are compassionate by nature. Red would indicate a fiery temper and are passionate. Brown would indicate grounding and stability. Yellow means a very good intellectual foundation. White stands for naiveté, goodness, purity and ignorance. Flame - Fire represents Spirit, passion, burning desire, and consuming energy. Foundation – Whether the foundation in the card is in the background or the color of the shoes the figure is wearing, foundations are very important. They indicate what is really holding or not holding the situation together. Fruit – Fruit indicates prosperity, abundance, fertility, growth, ideas, and being productive. Future – Anything on the right side of the card is in the future. These are the things that are possible if a step is taken in that direction. Gecko – These represent challenges or obstacles that must be handled. If they have completed a full circle, the concerns and issues are at an end. If they remain open, the issues have not totally been resolved or will continue. When a gecko has hold of his tail in his mouth thus forming a circle, the obstacles and problems are either self-contained or being properly handled. If there is a break from the mouth to the tail, additional problems may come into your situation unless they are promptly handled. Gloves – Covering the hands indicate hiding the truth, not being honest, not telling the whole story, and keeping things to oneself. Take note of the color as well. Head – Anything on the head of a figure in the cards is very important. The hair color is an indication of the figure’s motives or temperament. For example, white on the head indicates spirituality and goodness, a sharing and caring nature while red may indicate someone with a fiery nature who is passionate, aggressive and controlling in the way they handle circumstances. Horse – A horse is often seen carrying the present figure back to the past or ahead to face the future. The horse’s color is also important for a proper interpretation. For example, beige or brown would be a grounding influence. White would be someone who is now in control of his or her spirituality or has taken a step towards not being taken advantage any longer. In Between – if a figure is “in between” anything, whether it is a tower, trees, columns, etc., something in the Querent’s life is out of balance. However, sometimes getting in between two towers also showers luck on the Querent by the very nature of the meaning of towers, castles, homes, and cities. Pay Attention to the objects the figure is standing in between. Leaves – Depending upon the color of the leaves, they usually represent fertility, growth, prosperity, and new beginnings. Add the color of the leaves to the position in the card for a more precise meaning. Lilies -These flowers are indicative of purity, naiveté, kindness, being overly giving, and trusting. If there are too many lilies in a card, it may indicate that the Querent is always being taken advantage of or is always doing for others. One must stand up for themselves and try to say “No” more often. Moon – The moon stands for illusion/delusion, not seeing the truth, seeing what you want to see, or hearing what you want to hear because it is easier to face than reality. Mountains – The positioning of the mountains in a card is very important in reading. If they are in the past, they mean procrastination is an issue. If they are in the future, your goals and objectives will be easily met and will come to fruition quickly if they have not already come to pass. If the mountains cross the whole card, they indicate all the opportunities and goals you have set for yourself are waiting for you. The trick is that you have to grab them or they will slip away as easily as they were brought before you. Naked – Naked people in the cards are extremely vulnerable and easily hurt. They should try to set more limits so that others will not take advantage of them. Past – Anything on the left side of the card indicates the past. You are going in the wrong direction, so you must handle the issues of the past, turn around and get on with your life. Paths – Be sure to note if a path is straight, crooked, or going off into the sunset or mountains. Usually paths are put into a card to show the Reader where she has come from or where she should go. Also, take note of the color of the path. For example, if the path were yellow, you would follow the path of intellectual and logical thought rather than emotional thought. Pentacles – Pentacles correspond to the earth signs of the zodiac: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. They represent prosperity, abundance, inheritance, possessions, and money. Present – The absolute middle of the card represents the present. This indicates the way things are now, whether good or bad, and possibly a current situation you need to handle. Rabbits – A rabbit connotes someone in a hurry to conclude a situation or to get on with a particular concern or issue. It represents not looking before you leap. Serpents – Having a serpent in a card means trouble, secrets, hidden problems or concerns, mistrust and negativity. Do not trust everyone so easily. Ships – Ships float so as long as they are floating, you are ahead of the game.  Keeping emotions and dreams inside will keep your life as if an emotional roller coaster.  However, sometimes a ship is just to escape from a situation quickly. Shoes – The shoes are the foundation of the wearer. Notice if the shoes are the same color, or the same kind, and all the other possible combinations. Sky – Clear skies indicate smooth sailing, happy endings, and everything working out for the best. Notice the color of the sky as well; which indicates in what area your good fortune will come to you. Snails – A snail indicates preceding with extreme caution or not moving fast enough for others. You feel as if “slow and steady” wins the race. Snakes – This reptile represents wisdom and knowledge (both practical and enlightened). Stars – Stars represent choices or decisions. Take note of the color and number of stars. White stars indicate spiritual guidance; while yellow mean that the Querent must remain logical and rational. The bigger the star, the more important the issue. Sun – The sun stands for vitality, goodness, optimism, illumination, focused energy, new beginnings, and reality. Swords – Swords correspond to the air signs in the zodiac: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Swords represent arguments, fighting, responsibilities, conflicts, concerns, limitations, creative thinking, ideas, actions and energy. Sunflowers – Like the sun, these flowers represent new beginnings, fertility of ideas or creative energy. New ventures and new growth. Towers – Something between two towers indicates that there is a balance issue – something must be dealt with. It may have taken the Querent a long time to get between the towers to experience the balance of home life and love. Look at the color of the towers for further clues. However, if there are towers in a card, it usually represents love, happiness, prosperity and joy. Trees – The green leaves indicate prosperity, possession, and things concerning money and abundance. The brown trunk of the tree stands for grounding and clarity of purpose in regard to finances. Water – There are so many depictions of water throughout the Rider-Waite deck, but in particular, it stands for emotions. Calm water indicates secrets and emotions below the surface. There could also be hidden agendas. Ripples in a body of water mean that some troubles or negativity is coming into your life. If a body part is causing the ripples, the Querent is making his own emotional problems. If the water is very wavy, there are rather serious problems to handle. Wands – Wands represent the fire signs of the zodiac; Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. This suit represents career, jobs, and how one works on the job (from procrastinator to workaholic) while sharing all the career-related opportunities available to the Querent. Wheat – Wheat symbolizes fertility, growth, abundance, fruitfulness, bounty, and plenty. Wood – Wood is the second most grounding substance to stand, lean, or sit on. This color also brings one in connection to the earth or Mother Nature. Yods – These small, usually yellow flecks of light are blessings from God. If Yods are present in a card that looks negative, this always indicates that God is blessing that person and pushing them into a necessary change.

Tarotscopes for July 2009

I have chosen a card for each sun sign which represents the energy around you that you have to work with for the month.  Some cards have more to say than others, but I have tried to get to the core of the issue for each sign.  You may also combine the signs using your sun sign, Ascendant and moon signs for a more in depth look at your month ahead.

Aries

I chose Queen of Cups for you this month. This card’s energy represents someone who is in love with love.  You need to stop living in a little fantasy world and see your life in a realistic manner.  Circumstances and people are not always the way you perceive them.  You idealize or idolize others and get so disappointed when they don’t meet your expectations.  You are such an intelligent person, but need the love and attention from a romantic partner to feel alive.  You tend to be a sucker in relationships (too giving, caring, loving, generous, kind, honest, truthful, etc.) and are usually the one who gets hurts.  People can take advantage of you so easily, so start learning how to say no to people so you don’t wind up doing a million things on your personal time that don’t have anything to do with you.  Be strong and determined to have an organized, clutter free and happy life.  Look to the future for a strong romantic partner coming your way.

Taurus

I chose the King of Cups for you this month. This card’s energy represents that you are drowning in a sea of trouble.  There are many issues around you and you are floating in the middle of a turbulent ocean while sitting on a cement throne. How long do you think you will float?  You are trying to balance your emotional and intellectual lives so that you can make easier and more confident decisions, but you are still waning.  Your emotions have the best of you.  The gray sky indicates that there are still many fears, doubts, worries and anxieties around you and making decisions are not easy at this time.  You are overwhelmed and confused but would like to move forward into a positive future.  You must speak up for yourself, set boundaries and do what needs to be done.  Leaving your current situation may be the first step in gaining a positive future. You are causing your own emotional problems by not making the decision, so take the risk and move forward.

Gemini

I chose the Wheel of Fortune for you this month.  This card’s energy represents many changes coming your way.  If you gain more knowledge and wisdom (through formal education, training, lectures, seminars, workshops, etc.), if you are more persistent and tolerant, call upon your inner strength and courage and take appropriate risks, everything that you need will be given to you now to lead a very happy and successful life.  Prosperity and abundance will come from the decisions you make now, so make positive decisions.  You are being protected now and are very strong. You feel as if you have been handling many responsibilities and obligations and are really tired of it, but just know that now; you will be able to handle everything that comes your way in a positive manner.  Don’t be afraid of following your dreams and setting more ambitious goals as all good things come to those who set the background work into motion.  So do it now.

Cancer

I chose The World for you this month. This card’s energy represents all the positive energy around you.  It asks that you use your wisdom and knowledge (and get additional knowledge by higher education, lectures, seminars, workshops and training, if necessary.  You may also learn from DVDs, CDs, tapes, reading or television.)  You should now use your persistence and tolerance, call upon your inner strength and courage and take appropriate risks and then you will have all the things you need and want to be happy, healthy and abundant.  There is outstanding energy surrounding you, but it needs a little push of assertive energy to get it underway.  There is the energy of clear sailing, harmony, peace and going in the right direction around you so why not just give it that push to get what you truly need and want.  If it’s a promotion, work towards that; if it’s better communication in your family or romantic partner relationships, then deal with that.  Make an assessment of what you truly need and want to be happy and start taking steps in that direction so the universe can give you that little extra push onto the right road leading to wonderful opportunities and positive outcomes.

Leo

I chose The Hermit for you this month. This card’s energy represents being a spiritual teacher.  You help too many people and don’t have enough time and energy to help yourself.  Your robe is gray now because of all the negativity that you receive from others. It is difficult to proceed in a positive direction because you are caught in a negative energy field. You worry about your family and friends and just can’t let go.  You are tired, restless and do not have time for yourself; however, you still feel as if it is your mission to help those who come to you for help. Help who you must, but you should be very discriminating about those you do help.  Let others help themselves and only assist the ones who truly need you and then start weaning them away from you as well.  You must look to the future and use your knowledge in another way to help others, perhaps by writing articles or a book on your experiences or expertise in the spiritual or metaphysical world.  Release the negativity around you so you can find your true path.

Virgo

I chose Strength for you this month. This card’s energy represents that you are truly a sucker.  You are too giving, too kind, too generous, too honest, too living, too – everything!  You need to learn to say no to others so that you have time to accomplish your goals and wishes.  Perhaps all you need is just a little time to relax and unwind. You don’t have time because you are too busy doing everything for others.  You are very spiritual and are guided by spirit; however, you are just too trusting and may be hurt by those closest to you.  Do not measure everyone else’s honesty and trustworthiness by your own.  You are an exception to the rule.  Use your intelligence to keep people at arm’s length until you know if you can tell them your secrets or desires.  When you can trust others, then things will go much more smoothly. You must also deal with procrastination issues around you to move forward.

Libra

I chose The Star card for you this month. This card’s energy represents that you are being too vulnerable, innocent, naïve and gullible in emotional matters.  You have your foot in the water meaning that you are causing your own emotional issues and concerns and you are facing in the wrong direction.  You are making matters worse for yourself by procrastinating and not making a positive decision about your future.  It seems you would rather just think about your issues than handle them, so this is a real problem. There are many decisions hanging over your head, but you are able to make the most important one with logic and intelligence rather than emotion, then you will start going in the right direction.  Also, taking an emotional risk would be a good start to get you out of this very negative situation and environment.  If this risk is to leave a relationship or deal with family issues that are very emotional, than so be it.  Do something positive!

Scorpio

I chose The Tower for you this month. This card’s energy represents sudden, unexpected change. Things are moving in another direction or are not going in the direction you had hoped.  You may be surprised at how things wind up and may be overwhelmed or depressed at the outcome. You feel as if you have little control over your life and future; however, when you feel it is the lowest point in your life and things can’t get worse – you’re right. The universe is helping you make a positive move.  Then that negative day will wind up being the best thing to happen to you pushing you move into a new direction.  This is probably just what you needed to move forward and get the life you need or deserve.

Sagittarius

I chose The Eight of Swords for you this month. This card’s energy feels as if swamped with issues that you are afraid to deal with. Your normal personality and temperament is ambitious, fun, assertive and positive, but life is wearing you down and you feel more comfortable just waiting to see what will happen next.  If you take off the blind fold around your eyes and the bindings around your heart to see the castle in the future, it will bring you love, happiness, prosperity and joy, inner peace, wisdom, strength and everything you need to live a great life.  This is a fear based card; you are afraid of changing the status quo thinking it will get worst.  Be proactive and things will quickly resolve themselves.

Capricorn

I chose the Queen of Wands for you this month. This card’s energy represents feminine energy and looking towards the future for new beginnings, new ventures, new journeys and a new career.  Many times this card can mean you are thinking about leaving your current position and starting your own business; however, you are too comfortable in your current position and do not want to risk losing your  financial security, benefits and regular paycheck.  When one holds a wand in the past (left of the card), it means that the job you hold is no longer in your best interest and that it is probably boring. You are not learning anything new.  Even though you are intelligent, you still have too much sucker energy around you (being too nice, caring, giving, loving, kind, generous, honest, etc.) for you to make a positive decision.  You are always worried that you will make a wrong decision so do nothing instead.  Your future is not yet planned so figure out what you would like that to be and just do it.

Aquarius

I chose The Knight of Pentacles for you this month. This card’s energy represents procrastination.  You feel as if you need to make many more decisions before moving forward, especially with your financial security and income.  You are trying to think of what to do with your finances, i.e. how to make more money, how to invest, to get a part time job, to start your own business, etc. because you want to feel stable in the future.   This may also be why you aren’t making important choices; you feel as if you do not have the financial stability to move forward.  You feel as if you are protecting yourself, but just remember, the more you put up walls around you, the harder it is for your loved ones to understand and help you.  Use your intelligence to find a good balance between knowing what you want and how to get to those goals in the near future.  You are overcoming many obstacles, negativity and confusion; however, if you don’t act soon, all the progress you have made (probably in the “thinking” realm) will not come to fruition.

Pisces

I chose The Chariot for you this month. This card’s energy represents many procrastination issues.  There may be balance issues at home that you want to handle, but you are tired of handling all of the responsibilities and just wish all the problems and issues will disappear.  You know they won’t until you handle them. You have good intentions but are so overwhelmed by life that you do nothing solid. This is the worst procrastination card in the deck so it suggests that you take a positive step in the most important decision you have to make and move forward.  There is a lot of emotion being stirred up and also situations at home that need to be balanced, but in general if you make some good decisions this month (the trick is to make them!), then you will be fine and moving in a positive direction attracting many wonderful opportunities.

The Minor Arcana are the cards that refer to our everyday life. They represent “the mundane.”

With the Major Arcana cards telling the Reader that the Querent will have much spiritual guidance during the next year (or whatever time period you have chosen), the Minor Arcana reminds us that we are in control of our own destinies and must make our daily decisions and choices, goals and objectives to move onto the next day, next choice or next journey in our life.

Tarot and Its Meanings – Major Arcana

By Rev. Vikki Anderson

Next to each Major Arcana card is a “Karmic Lesson Number” to help figure out which Karmic Lessons belong to your Birth Path Number.

Check to see how many Karmic Lesson Numbers you have to deal with in this lifetime.

The way to recognize a Major Arcana card is that they all have a word or words on the bottom of the card describing it. The more of these cards 0-21 you have in reading a spread, the more God, the Goddess, the Source, the One, the All, the Universe or whatever spiritual or enlightened force you believe in, will guide and help you pick the correct opportunities to help your life get back on the right path. It is almost as if the Universe is saying that you have had a very rough time and it doesn’t feel as if you would be comfortable handling any more at this time. It’s a rest from your troubles and obligations. It is help from above.

Do not confuse the court cards (Aces, Kings, Queens, Knights and Pages) for Major Arcana Cards. They do have written words at the bottom of the card as well.

A brief statement of the cards historical or accepted meanings are indicated with my interpretations of each card enclosed in the box below it. You are not obliged to use my interpretations at all. Use whatever you feel comfortable with. You can combine the meanings or use whatever information you receive from Spirit to guide you. This is your reading, not mine.

1.The Magician (KLN: 1) Wearing white as your first color indicates that you are too kind, caring, loving, good, helpful, considerate, generous and honest. The white reflects the above-mentioned qualities, while wearing red over the white indicates that you must become more assertive, positive, and ambitious and take action to overcome any obstacles that are keeping you from your goal. Look at the foliage above your head “ it is drying up and drying. Foliage always means prosperity, abundance and wealth. If you take control and make some positive decisions, you will have everything that is on the table before you’re money issues will be resolved; conflicts and obstacles will be concluded to a positive end; you will have the perfect job/career and love life and personal relationships will be extremely beneficial.

II. The High Priestess (KLN: 2) I call this the therapist card you are the one everyone comes to for guidance, opinions, advice and to lay all of their problems on you. The white and blue indicates that even though you are compassionate and empathetic, basically, you are giving too much of your energy away by handling everyone else’s problems and not attending to you own. Take your own good advice and stop protecting all those secrets behind the curtain. Your silence is draining you. You must learn to say NO and also to only help those you feel it is important to help. Who is helping you with your challenges and concerns?

III. The Empress (KLN: 3) The pregnancy card or you can be “pregnant” with ideas. It is a card filled with motherly attributes. You take care of your children, your family and friends and try to protect all from the harsh realities of life. You are trying desperately to balance your “sucker” side and assertive side, but always seem to be there to lend a helping hand whenever it is needed, even if it is not convenient for you. Creativity and inner wisdom will guide you to make good choices if you balance your excessive behavior to give of yourself. The black trees indicate that the negativity is behind you and the scepter and stars on your crown are bringing spirituality and enlightenment from above through you to share with those you interact with.

IV. The Emperor (KLN: 4) You are a person filled with wisdom and great knowledge. The way you express your feelings and knowledge is another issue. You tend to be demanding, petty, a perfectionist and feel you are always right. You are a stubborn person who is very assertive and dominant in his thinking patterns and it is very difficult for you to change your mind or admit you are wrong. Wearing the armor underneath the two different colors of red, indicate that you have been hurt before and will not let that happen again. You tend to show people how much you care for them by the amount of advice you give them. You are crushed or surprised when others feel you are uncaring or distant.

V. The Heirophant (KLN: 5) This is a very interesting card that stands for many things on various levels. You are sitting in between two gray columns, which represents that you have fears, doubts, worries, stress, anxieties, and many issues that need to be resolved. Whenever you are in between two things, that is your balance issue. You are also in between the two monks (or people) at the bottom of the card, which indicates that there are some unresolved balance issues with your spiritual beliefs or actual people in your life. Your yellow crown makes you very logical and practical, and your scepter brings you spirituality and enlightenment from above. The vertical part of the cross indicates your spirituality. The horizontal lines represent how many times you have stopped in spirituality to deal with reality, or material possessions in this lifetime. The first color on you is white but you are covered with so much red that it looks like you are trying to over compensate for your insecurities by being overly bold, assertive, aggressive, outspoken and stubborn.

VI. The Lovers (KLN: 6) Even though this particular card sounds lovely, I use the Two of Cups as “The Lovers” card. This is one in which there is a mountain in between two individuals “ your significant other and you. This is a very big mountain, which separates you both. This particular mountain represents problems that may cause concern or disagreements. Continual compromise must be made to keep this relationship alive and well. Without clothes, both of you are vulnerable, naive and gullible. Even though the sun is shining positive energy to help make things work and the angels are trying to guide and bless you, your issues are many and unless you go for counseling or have a heart to heart talk to work through these concerns.

VII. The Chariot (KLN: 7) This card indicates that you are going nowhere fast. You are a procrastinator as you are stuck in a gray, cement chariot and can’t decide if you should stay or leave. You are in between two castles, meaning love, happiness, prosperity and joy, and this is your balance issue. You are looking away from your home life, so you are either unhappy or making your family unhappy by always wanting to be on the go or away from them. The two opposite colored sphinxes pulling the Chariot are lying down twiddling their thumbs waiting for you to make a decision. Even though there is much spirituality and enlightenment around you as represented by the white stars, you must use your common sense to get things done and make some type of decision to push your life forward.

VIII. Strength (KLN: eight) Sorry – the eight kept showing up as a smiley face! Here you are playing with a wild animal and looking in the wrong direction as well. The procrastination mountain off to the left of the card indicates that you are staying where you are as you are afraid to make decisions about your future. Your white dress indicates your “sucker” color, although you have greenery around your waist and in your hair. Money is not your issue in this card. The Infinity sign above your head gives you much spirituality, but being too trusting to a wild animal (representing friends or those in your life that you trust too easily), usually turn on you. Turn to the future, use your intelligence and stand up for yourself. Do not be content with the way things are now because as long as you don’t take care of that procrastination issue, your life will definitely stay the same.

IX. The Hermit (KLN: 9) You are a spiritual teacher and give all you can to everyone around you in the way of your time, your experience and expertise. You feel you are here to help others and most of the time you do. However, you are looking in the wrong direction and are wearing a gray cape. You are shining the light for everyone else, standing there on top of the mountain all-alone in the snow. Snow represents spirituality and enlightenment and there is no question that you are very enlightened. Your knowledge of the universe is not questioned. Your ability to use that knowledge to also help yourself would be in your best interest. Turn around and continue to walk towards the right direction (the future). Use your wisdom to help you help others while protecting yourself

X. The Wheel of Fortune (KLN: 1) Everything you want will be given to you once you “gain more wisdom and knowledge” (represented by the fixed sign of Aquarius in the top left corner) which is usually done through taking classes, attending workshops, video or audio tapes, formal education or lectures; if you are more persistent and tolerant (represented by the fixed sign of Taurus in the bottom left corner); call upon your inner strength and courage (represented by the fixed sign of Leo in the right lower corner). And take appropriate risks (represented by the fixed sign of Scorpio in the top right hand corner). If you do all of these things, everything you have ever wanted would be yours. You are being protected by the sphinx figure on top of the TORA, ROTA (wheel) TAROT; the Sun God Ra is carrying you into the future and the snake to the left shows there has always been great knowledge and intelligence in your past and coming with you into the future.

XI. Justice (KLN: 2) I feel this is the only law card in the deck. This represents any area of the law including lawsuits, courts, lawyers, contracts, documents, wills, inheritances, and anything that is a binding agreement. It could also represent speeding tickets, police officers and any activity relating to them. As a card to be interpreted, you are in between two columns of gray needing to balance the fears, doubts, worries, anxieties, stress, being overwhelmed or on that road in the fog not knowing in which direction you are heading. Curtains always mean there are secrets hidden behind there. You have always tried to handle things in a compromising and good manner making everyone happy as is represented by the balanced scales of justice, but it is suggesting that you stand up for yourself now as the old ways may not work any longer. You are wearing red so you should be more assertive in going after what you really want and now that you are holding a sword up in the air, you are able to competently defend yourself.

The Hanged Man (KLN: 3) Your balance issue is money as represented by the green leaves on the top of the cross. This cross indicates that your spirituality has stopped or has been interrupted since the vertical line on the cross is topped with the horizontal line. You are more materialistic at this point or are only thinking in this way because of financial obligations and concerns. You are leaning on the T-cross, which is beige and indicates that you are trying to be more focused, stable, secure and strong in the handling of your financial matters. You should look at things from a different perspective, balance your assertiveness represented by the red and your compassion, empathy and sympathy represented by the blue shirt and use the foundation and crown Chakra in yellow (intelligence) to get to your goals.

XIII. Death (KLN: 4) Most people get upset if this card is pulled in a spread. This does not necessarily mean physical death. It is a death of an old way of life and going in a new direction. There are balance issues that need to be handled as indicated by the black flag with white flower and also the black armor and white horse. Its a time to leave people behind who are no longer needed in your new life or those who you have outgrown. Its being blessed by a religious figure (or universal energy if the person is not religious or spiritual) helping you on your way to a new venture, journey or beginning. Its seeing the two towers in the distance in your future with a sun shining between them showing you that this is an important event or that you should be aware that happiness, love, abundance and joy is coming your way.

XIV. Temperance (KLN: 5) Two procrastination mountains with a sun rising between them is the first thing you see. You are causing your own emotional problems by having your foot in the water and trying to balance the emotional issues before you. Calm water denotes one that is emotionally calm and free of worries, but you are making the water more turbulent by pouring it into one cup and then the other. Money is not the issue with this card as you see the green foliage in the future and the yellow flowers indicating that you will get your prosperity and abundance by use of your intelligence. The angel wings are turning black indicating negativity around you and the orange color also in the wings indicate that you are trying to be more grounded and stable but with your foot in the water and the other one on rocks, your foundation is weak.

XV. The Devil (KLN: 6) You feel chained to a negative person or situation by self-imposed chains. This is an addictive card representing alcoholism, drug use, as well as verbal and physical abuse. You are afraid to get out of this situation since if you change your life, you will have to make a new life for yourself, which is sometimes scary. You must take the self-imposed chains from around your neck, open the door under the Devil and escape. There is little hope of the situation changing unless you take the initiative to change it. Be strong; don’t be afraid of the consequences, because your life after this change will be much better than it currently is.

XVI. The Tower (KLN: 7) Basically, anything built on a false foundation will be knocked down and you will rise again like the Phoenix. This is another card that many people do not like to see in their reading; however, it is a positive card in that circumstances push you on the right road. You are either living in a routine, boring life or not living up to your potential so the universe makes things happen to move you onto the proper path. Life seems unfair, causes upheaval and drastic changes, but the outcome is always better than where you were. The YODS, blessings from God, are protecting you on your new journey on to a new road ahead of you. The outcome is usually much more positive than you could have ever imagined it would be.

XVII. The Star (KLN: eight) Sorry, the eight kept showing up as a smiley face! This descriptive card holds many lessons. The first is that you must turn into the right direction (the future) to make your life and its choices much more positive. Your foot is in the water denoting that you are causing your own emotional problems and then you are in between the two urns of pouring water, your balance issue. This is a highly emotional card because of all the water and your lack of clothing making you vulnerable, gullible and innocent. Your yellow hair suggests you are a bright person but are using your emotions rather than intelligence to handle your issues. The procrastination mountain to the left of the card indicates that you are stuck where you are and you won’t be able to move forward unless you take action. The white stars show that the spirituality and enlightenment is around you, and it also suggests many choices that are overwhelming you. Now you are to use your priority issue, the big yellow star, and deal with your issues in a very logical and unemotional manner. If you do not turn to the future, you will see that the water will make five additional rivers causing more emotion in your future. The bird behind you indicates that you must take risks to get to a much more positive corner of life.

XVIII. The Moon (KLN: 9) Whenever there is a sun and moon in a card, it means “illusion/delusion.” You see what you want to see and hear what you want to hear. You are the Scorpion in the water trying to get out of the emotional situation. The dog on the left indicates reality and the coyote or ghost dog on the right indicates your suspicions, doubts, and uncertainties that are constantly around you. You must get out of the water and travel onto the yellow road of intelligence. Face your fears and realize they are much smaller than you think they are. Once on the road, you will then be blessed by the Yods and in between two castles that will give you double the love, happiness, prosperity and joy. Mountains across a whole card indicate that there are so many wonderful opportunities ahead of you, but you have to grab them or they will pass you by.

XIX. The Sun (KLN: 1) You are like a new baby going into a new, positive direction. All negativity and upset is now hidden behind the wall and will not follow you into the future. Sunflowers always mean new beginnings and the sun’s bright rays of energy and light will help you find your way. You are going in the right direction and have the wonderful orange flag to cover your naked body if things get too overwhelming for you. You can then cover yourself with stability, security, being grounded and able to prioritize your life. You are riding on a wonderful spiritual horse, which will bring you into the future with a good, and uplifting foundation.

XX. Judgment (KLN: 2) You will receive everything you had given out into the world so far. If you are a giver, it is your chance to receive. If you are a taker, it is time that you reverse that role. You need more balance as indicated in the Swiss flag “ notice the red dividing the white flag into specific areas of life. Gabriel is trying to make you listen to his words of changing your ways. This is your wake up call to start saying “Thank you,” when someone wants to help you or lend a hand rather than you always being the one to give. Its a lessons showing you that you are not only changing your life, but you may also be helping those who need to start giving rather than always receiving.

XXI. The World (KLN: 3) This is very similar to The Wheel of Fortune. This card has one major difference. If you gain more knowledge (again through whichever means works for you), if you are more persistent and tolerant, call upon your inner strength and courage and take an appropriate risk, you will not only get everything you deserve, but will be encircled with money, prosperity and abundance as well. The two scepters indicate your high level of spirituality and all the knowledge you have been obtaining while in this lifetime. The purple garment that is slowly covering you is helping with your issues of being too vulnerable, gullible, innocent and naive, and is pushing you on to a higher plane of understanding and spirituality. Still looking to the past, you will be able to get onto the road of self discovery and abundance by handling what must be done and continuing into your future

XXII. The Fool (KLN: 4) You are about to embark on new adventures. The white dog in the card indicates love and fidelity of family and friends around you. You have taken all of your possessions and are heading off into the unknown. However, you are facing the left of the card (from the reader’s point of view), which means you are going in the wrong direction. If you don’t change your attitude, your goals and objectives, you may fall off the cliff and find it hard to recover. Otherwise, there is spirituality and enlightenment around you in the snowy mountains and the white sun shining upon you. Use the intelligence you have to make the proper assessment of your situation and start going in the right direction.

Symbolism Guide

By Vikki Anderson

I have found TAROT to be a useful tool to help people in conflict. I have never had an appointment with a Querent who had a balanced or crisis-free life. When people are desperate, they seek answers from others who can help them get through these obstacles and challenges. They need the hope and solutions psychic or TAROT readers can provide.

Studying TAROT has always been a fun and relaxing pastime for me as I read the many books available on the subject throughout the years. I did the usual thing in the beginning by practicing on friends, consulting books and then trying to figure out what the cards really meant. I wondered how to put it all together in a reading in a spiritual, yet practical way. Then I tried relying on memory after awhile, but I would regularly have to consult my books for the actual meanings.

It was always a mystery to me that all the TAROT books had different meanings so “the student” had to compile information from various sources to eventually devise a “general” meaning of his/her own choosing for each card. There was just too much information available on the subject and too many books. With practice and patience, one learns to pick up on the overall vibrations of the cards. Each reading is a totally different experience, even if you place the exact same cards in a spread for two different people! You feel different vibrations; you get different messages, even if the messages personally don’t make too much sense to you. I usually say the messages I receive, and generally it means something quite important to the Querent.

I remember how difficult it seemed to remember the 78 cards and their reversed meanings. The belief is that with the coming of the new millennium, we do not have to read the reversed cards, but should make note of them. I not only note them, but usually find that the reserved cards show the problem areas that are surrounding the Querent (the person for whom the reading is being done). I also use reversed cards in a year ahead spread to denote the meaning of that particular card would not come to pass for at least six months – half the time span of the reading. It seems to work out quite accurately. It is also useful to know what obstacles are ahead of you, so realistic solutions to the problems facing the Querent can be handled in a very organized, efficient and logical manner.

For those who would like to learn TAROT in a quick and easy manner, here are some suggestions:

Read the cards through the interpretation of colors, backgrounds and symbolisms. In that way, it’s easy to remember any card without memorizing its textbook meaning. Eventually the meanings will just come to you after practicing with them, but for now, the associations will do nicely. For instance, cloudy skies mean that “situations” are brewing behind you; unexpected secrets are going on behind your back. Storm clouds indicate, “You’d better watch out; problems are coming; be prepared.”

Level or smooth ground means you are standing on firm ground or are balanced, but rocky ground in turn means you may trip, fall, stumble, be on shaky ground, and have unsure footing. Standing in water means there is too much emotion or sentimentality surrounding the Querent or situation. By learning these symbols or associations with the colors, you can put so many clues together that one would have a meaning for the card without ever having to refer to text books.

Lastly, add the four suits (Wands, Pentacles, Swords and Cups) and interpret the cards by what the figure in the card is doing, holding, not doing, etc. Are the figures happy, celebrating or are they sorry for themselves or look desperate? Putting all the associations together gives the reader a very good indication of the cards meanings. Readings do become more intuitive each time you do one, but it still amazes me that the meaning is different or varied each time. You will find that it has a special meaning to the Querent. Simply put, WANDS represent jobs, careers and your status in them; PENTACLES are finances, possessions and how one relates to them; SWORDS stand for conflicts, arguing, fighting or honor, while CUPS relate to the love one gives and receives as well as how much of it surrounds that person or the lack of it in his/her life.

TAROT doesn’t have to be a mystery nor require years of study and practice unless you plan to give advice to others in a psychic/counseling position. Practice is definitely a confidence builder and gives more insight into a reading, so ask friends to help by letting you “practice” reading for them. You’ll also be surprised at how many new friends you will attract as soon as they know you need volunteers to practice this ancient art of divination. But please be sure to tell them you are a beginner and doing this just for fun. Many people take this advice as gospel and unless you are proficient in reading the cards, you may unknowingly cause some anxiety or concern.

Giving this sacred advice or guidance is not to be taken lightly nor used for your own personal gain, but rather to receive insight into a situation or relationship that may be helpful to the person asking the questions. You are a facilitator of the cards and the Querent must know that if they choose to do nothing with the information you give them, it is okay. It is their choice. They do not have to change their lives; they do not have to learn the lessons of this lifetime nor progress on the right path. It is always their choice. You may guide or suggest, but ethical practitioners NEVER use scare tactics or instill fear (as in saying curses were placed on them, their family, etc., especially if there are large sums of money involved. Be wary of these readers – they are con artists and nothing more)! The reader helps clients understand and be able to cope with the circumstances by giving them practical alternatives to their current or future obstacles and challenges.

In this way, you are using TAROT for the highest good of all, guiding souls to a more productive and happy life and in turn feeling a sense of accomplishment and inner harmony because you have made a person’s life a little easier to handle. You have made an important difference in that person’s life and in the world. You may be the only one that this person trusts or comes to for advice, so make it appropriate and for their highest good.

Origin of Tarot

by Vikki Anderson

TAROT is an ancient form of divination of unknown origin. The cards first appearances have been linked to Atlantis, (this highly advanced civilization was said to use TAROT as well as astronomy and astrology to help define the future); Egypt (where the Pharaoh’s priests would go into the pyramids and throw branches at the walls depicting the cards. Where the branches landed represented the advice they would give to Egypt’s rulers); Europe (where people used the cards as a way of planning their future and giving them hope when Christianity became overly oppressive and restrictive) and The British Isles (where it was said a King in the sixteenth century had asked a famed artist of the day to make up a playing deck for his amusement). There are well over 622+ decks encompassing all cultures of the world and each culture seems to have had used TAROT as a form of guidance in determining their futures.

When a proficient TAROT counselor does a reading, events involving important decisions, health, moving, loved ones, career changes or promotions, Spiritual matters, and even emotional growth can be addressed. Any information that is needed can be determined, explained and logically defined with positive outcomes. I always encourage my clients to bring a list of approximately a half dozen questions in case the year ahead spread does not deal with their concerns. Many times, only one or two questions remain unanswered; other times all are answered with the year ahead reading. It is just a useful guide to help them figure out what they need to know. (Many times it is very hard for a person to think of questions “on the spot”. It also wastes valuable time for both the reader and client). Many readings can go on for hours, so it is wise to have a per hour fee. Others finish within one hour. Make it very clear to your client what your fee policy is before doing a reading.

Human beings are blessed with free will, and are able to change the future in any way they wish. Simply put, it’s a chance to glimpse in to the future and see the possibilities and the outcome your choices will mean to that future.

TAROT is a way to accomplish goals and objectives in the most positive manner possible and also teaches us to choose the better path on our spiritual journey and reuniting with God’s soul, our ultimate goal. When the proper choices are made, we will be filled with peace, harmony and love. We will be able to live the life God in all his glory had intended.

Totally Tarot

by Vikki Anderson

I have been teaching tarot and metaphysics for over 36 years and have come up with a more positive and accurate way of reading tarot. My book, “Totally Tarot: How To Be A Tarot Detective,” is a beginner’s workbook to help you make sense of the cards in a short period of time.

Tarot is a predictive modality and everyone can do it with practice. You don’t have to be psychic or special in any way, but you do have to truly want to learn the cards for the Divine information they give. You must be ethical and morale because you are helping others make important life choices. You are like a doctor — you know everything about a client or student by the cards that come up in a spread and you must treat this information as SACRED.

I will be placing tarot information and articles on here so please keep checking back. I am trying to straighten out my 5 blogs so that all the appropriate information is on the appropriate blog.

I am currently writing my second tarot book called How To Be A Tarot Detective Two which will probably be out in 2009.

I hope you enjoy this site and if you have a comment about something on this site, please feel free to drop me a line.
