Reading Tarot Cards To Foretell the Future
Reading Tarot Cards with the Major Arcana Cards
with Upright and Reversed Divinitory meanings
for easy guidance to reading tarot cards.
Reading Tarot Cards by reading and learning the
meanings of each major arcana card. We start of
course by the number one card The Fool. I will
then take you through each individual card to
help you through the art of reading tarot cards.
The Fool is the herald of new life and fresh
beginnings. He can be seen as the innocent
spirit about to embark on physical life, the
young child who has yet to learn of the perils
in the world; or as the seeker after
enlightenment chasing the elusive butterfly of
intuition in the hope that it will lead him
through life.
The mood is happy and carefree, yet with hints
of setbacks and trials and tribulations ahead.
Reading this tarot represents the chaos before
reason, the pure impulse that is neither good
nor evil. Symbolically the Fool can be said to
be both the beginning and the end of the
twenty-two card sequence so when reading the
tarot cards, this should be considered and be
dependent upon the cards nearby.
When he appears, as here, at the beginning, he
can be interpreted psychologically as
representing the newly born child which is not
yet aware of itself as a separate entity. He is
not yet an individual, and therefore is not
responsible for his actions as an individual.
He is shown setting out on his journey into life
entranced by the bright butterfly unaware of
experiences and heedless of all warnings about
any dangers or pitfalls that lie just ahead.
His bag contains those elusive memories of what
he is leaving behind, memories that will urge
him ever onwards in his search to recover what
he is about to lose - his primeval innocence.
Having this card in a reading of the tarot cards
is warning to be aware of surroundings and to
think carefully before proceeding ahead and
with care.
In some Tarot packs he is seen to carry a small
flower loosely in one hand; this is his soul,
the fragment of divinity which he will bear with
him through all the trials ahead.
The negative aspect of the Fool in readings
tarot cards reveals the Joker, who chases in
pursuit of
wasteful entertainment, heedless of the chaos
and disorder he leaves in his wake. The joy of
the moment is his only concern.
Divinatory meanings:
Upright:
Indicates an influence which is unexpected and
unplanned, but which exerts a powerful force on
the matter in hand. It is a challenge that can
transform the situation in the querent's favour
if properly handled. It indicates that an
important decision or choice will have to be
made. If this card is well placed in reading
tarot cards and flanked by fortune cards, then a
wise decision will be made, and perseverance
will bring its rewards. If badly placed,
flanked by unfortunate cards, warning is given
of impending error.
The Fool can also indicate the imminent start of
a new cycle of destiny in the reading, and can
refer to a type of person - the creative
dreamer.
Reversed:
If reversed in the reading, this foretells major
problems arising from reckless, impulsive
action.
