Card Reversals

“Hey, your card is upside down...” my dad mentioned as I snapped the photo for the daily draw. “Actually, I meant to take it that way.” I replied. This led to a discussion on reversed cards and how tarot card meanings can change based on whether its upright or reversed. Some readers don’t read inverted cards because it bumps the number of meanings to memorize from 78 to 156. Others...

Aren’t tarot readers all the same?

The short answer is: no. There you have it, article over! If you’re still here, that means you want to know if there’s more to it. There is! Tarot readers are all completely different. Think about being in school- there were teachers you loved, and teachers whose classes you didn’t care for. People are all different no matter what profession you attach to them, and this applies to tarot...

A little late, but here it is. This is where it all started. This is the new moon in Virgo spread I learned about through Biddy Tarot on August 30th.

I’d been studying the cards non-stop and practising with daily draws on myself and on anyone within my...

My life lay in shambles. I didn’t know it at the time, but my life was embodying the energy of The Tower...

What questions should I ask my tarot reader?

That’s an excellent question. The best questions for your tarot reader are open ended. I know we’re tempted to ask yes/no questions like, will I find true love? Will I get that new job I applied for? Am I going to win the lottery? I don’t know. What have you been doing to look for true love? How did your interview go? Did you buy a lottery ticket? Tarot is best used when questions...

What’s Tarot? And how is this a profession? Seems woo-woo to me…

Allison Sasso September 20, 2019 0 Comments

I hear you, friend. Let me see if I can clear a few things up. What’s Tarot? Tarot cards are a lot like normal playing cards. Instead of 52, there are 78 (22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana). Tarot started out as a game commissioned in the 15th century by Filippo Maria Visconti, ruler of the Duchy of Milan, probably for his daughter Bianca Maria Visconti’s wedding. Tarot...
