Similar to other forms of psychic readings, tarot card
readings have become increasingly popular and much more
accessible with the technology of the Internet. Many psychic
websites offer tarot reader specialists, but some websites are
exclusively dedicated to the art and skills of tarot card
readings.
Methods of Online Tarot Card Readings
Tarot card readings can be done via phone, live chat, video
chat and even email. Since tarot readings tend to focus on
shorter-term seasons or decisions, many dedicated tarot
websites have regular clients utilize the tarot readers’
services at consistent intervals, such as every four to five
months. Like other online psychic readings, many tarot reading
sites offer a free initial reading before setting up paid
readings for registered clients.
Basic Card Meanings
The 78 cards are typically divided into two sections. The
first section, or Major Arcana, of 22 takes larger themed
"story" cards through an arc from number 0, the Fool, through
number 21, the World. The arc of this journey is believed to
represent a person’s path from ignorance to enlightenment, or
from a youthful awareness to a more mature fulfillment. The
other cards of the Major Arcana highlight characteristics or
experiences a person must learn along life’s journey to
accomplish this maturing process, such as strength (11),
justice (8), love, and death.
The other section is the Minor Arcana of the remaining 56
cards. This segment of cards addresses the daily, common or
mundane aspects of life that contribute to a tarot card
reading. Each card has its interpretation, such as the High
Priestess card, which typically involves some kind of secrets
or intuition being revealed or kept hidden. Depending on the
placement of the card, either the positive or negative
meanings will come out in the interpretation.
Cautions About Online Tarot Card Readings
Tarot card readings are different than astrological chart
readings or other forms of psychic readings. In addition to
using the 78 cards of the tarot deck to focus the reading,
tarot cards tend to focus on short-term situations. They are
also more effective for clarity, internal understanding and
sorting out the emotions (hidden or open) of a particularly
confusing situation in the past or present. Tarot readings do
address the future as well, often in the forms of decisions to
be made, or the emotional or psychic state of a person that is
influencing a decision to be made.
Alison Day is one tarot reader online at Lotus Tarot who
encourages people to use tarot readings to understand the
inner workings of their emotions and thoughts. One of the
recommendations she makes is a kind of caution to inquirers.
When someone seeks a tarot reading, she must be aware it won’t
give a specific future date and time, like "next Thursday at
five p.m. the man standing behind you at the grocery store
will become your new lover." If a person expects this kind of
future telling, tarot card readings are not the place to find
it.
In general, however, many inquirers find online tarot card
readings are just focused enough to help process an aspect of
their current journey in life. Tarot card readings are a
creative way to do a psychic reading with the particular tools
of Tarot cards.
