The Major Arcana is made up of 22 cards. The cards are numbered from 0 to 21 with the 0 card meaning complete ignorance while the card numbered 21 is complete understanding. Each of the cards have a name and number.

A major arcana card is always given extra weight in a reading. When one of these cards appears, you know the issues at stake are not mundane or temporary. The issues depicted by a Major Arcana card represents your most basic concerns – your major feelings and motivations.

It is not unusual for us to experience lessons out of order. A person may absorb the qualities of Strength early in life due to a difficult childhood, but only develop the mastery and control that the Chariot brings much later in life. Someone may overcome the attraction of the Devil’s materialism through a life of seclusion, but then need to learn about relationships, a lesson of the Lovers, at a later time.

However, no matter what our pattern of self-discovery is, the major arcana shows us that wholeness and fulfillment are our destiny. If we follow this lesson and keep it as our guiding light – we will realize our true nature and gain the World.

This weeks reading was quite interesting. I read for a number of people on my show this week and I also did a reading for the week ahead. The reading for the week ahead was consisted of three cards, these three cards were: Tranquility, Protection and Helpful Person. The meaning of these cards are as follows

Tranquility

Tranquility basically means that there is needed time for your-self and you should take your time and relax and indulge in self-care. Take the time to pander to your needs, your need to take time and relax and be happy by relaxing.

Protection

The meaning of this card is that you, your loved ones and your possessions are being protected and they are being protected by heaven. To keep this protection you should pray to heaven and ask them for help and the protection shall be strong around you, your loved ones and your possessions.

Helpful Person

Helpful Person basically means that there is someone out there who is willing to help you in anyway that they can, but we may not be able to receive their help because we are being unreceptive. To receive their help, all you have to do is think who might try to be helping you and make contact.

—–

From this reading I got that everyone needs to take time for themselves and ask for heavens help to keep the protection around you, your loved ones and your possessions and contact those who might want to help you. For the week ahead I saw many good things happening and it seemed positive and there weren’t many negative things.

I also did a single card reading. This card was Explore Your Options.

Explore Your Options

The meaning for this card is very self-explanatory, you need to explore you options and look at the other possibilities and now it’s a good time to make changes.

Have fun listening to the show

In this post I will talk to you about when the best time is to have a tarot reading. Now I think the best time to receive a tarot reading is when you are feeling anxious over a certain decision in your life, or if you feel lost or confused about the direction of your life and if you want to achieve spiritual guidance. If you feel as if there is a message the universe is trying to send you then this would also be an appropriate time to take a tarot reading.

A tarot reading is a friendly and personal reading of an individual’s innermost thoughts. These inner thoughts may be either unconscious or conscious thoughts that the individual is aware of. An individual who experiences a tarot reading will have their mind expanded, allowing the individual to clearly listen to the guidance of their heart.

In this expansion and clear understanding, you are able to receive answers to perplexing questions in your life. Many tarot readers devote their full attention to helping an individual retrieve this ultimate sense of clarity. This is considered to be a tarot reader’s code of ethics. The tarot reader must be one-hundred percent focused on the individual achieving a deeper understanding leading towards self-development and a more fulfilling life.

Many tarot readers travel, from different places located throughout different parts of the country. Several popular places to receive a tarot reading are Whole Self Solutions in New York, Grateful Heart in Wickford Tea and Herb Essence in Newport, and Sacred Stone in Massachusetts. When visiting one of these establishments you can be assured that, you’re receiving an accurate tarot reading from a skilled reader.

Another way to receive a tarot reading is over the telephone. This type of reading must be scheduled in advance. Moreover, it usually costs around forty dollars for a thirty-minute session. This is a great way to receive a tarot reading from the convenience of your own home. This is perfect for you if you live in a remote or rural area. When setting an appointment for a tarot reading you will be given the appointment date and time of your reading. It is very important to call twenty-four hours ahead of time if you need to change this date.

There are several different publications that offer to instruct you on how to read their own cards. This is an easy way to perform a tarot reading on yourself or others. Many of these publications are free.

It is said, “We were born to manifest the glory of God (universe) that is within us.” This power is within all of us and a tarot reading is a tool that sheds light onto that resource of great inner power.

A tarot reading opens our eyes in essence to our inner fears and self-sabotaging habits. That is why it is important to achieve a deep understanding of tarot and then to use this understanding as a tool that guides an individual towards self-empowerment. Many of us are stuck in life because of a road block or low self-confidence. Through the use of tarot, we come to appreciate our many unique habits.

By gaining a better appreciation of ourselves, we are able to make clearer decisions and to figure out how to achieve what we desire in life.

If you are feeling stuck or anxious in life do not hesitate to have a tarot reading. This reading, if looked at as a tool for self-development, will cause you to change your life in a positive way. When choosing a tarot reader makes sure to either checkout their website or look for  past customer testimonials. This will enable you to choose a tarot reader that is best suited to your own individual personality and desires.
