Tarot Cheat Sheet
by Tara Sutphen
directions:
*All cards read upright
*One clear question – When you ask a question, make it simple.
*A beginner should only use answers as hindsight not literal fact. Remember this is “fun”.
*If your question doesn’t concern a person(s), read court cards Page, Knight, Queen, and King as the meaning of the card.
To Start:
*One card for one question. Even if you are not familiar with tarot cards and their meanings. Read the picture and symbolism, then access your feelings about the card and the question and then try reading the psychic vibration. Then go back to the meaning of the card.
*Layout’s from link websites at the end.
