Are You Looking outside the basic tarot card Meanings
Once you have boned up on the fundamental meaning of your tarot cards and become acquainted with them, there arrives a time to look outside the basic meaning. Your intuition is the source for becoming a true tarot card reader. A reading will take you outside the basic meaning, the elemental values, and the numerical values. Take the 2 of Wands as an example. In this post, the Rider Tarot Deck is being used. Pull it from your deck and place it before you.
The basic meaning of this card may alter between readers. Numerically, the card tells of balance and decision. The wands represent action and movement. The 2 of Wands speaks of deciding on which direction to take. As you look on the card, you see a person standing on a balcony, looking out over the land. In his hand, he holds the globe. He stands between 2 wands, these are his selections. His hand is placed upon one of the wands, giving the impression that his choice has already been made.
While taking a look at the card, what jumps out at you? Maybe it is the banner of lilies and roses. Lilies represent growth and development. Roses represent new beginnings and hope. The card might be endorsing this is the time to move forward, into a new beginning where you will find new expansion in your life. A business journey, a new relationship, or a physical move might be represented.
As put down in an earlier article, Learning how to use tarot spreads, the meaning of the card will rely upon its position and the encircling cards. An alternate way to let your intuition free in a reading is to state the very first thing that comes to your mind when pulling the card. This could be the clearest interpretation and the most trusty.
