How do tarot readings work?

Tarot readings use a deck of 78 cards (22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana) to provide guidance and insight. Cards are drawn and interpreted based on their imagery, position in the spread, and the reader's intuition. Our digital readings use randomized card selection for authentic experiences.

What is the difference between Major and Minor Arcana?

Major Arcana cards (like The Fool, The Lovers, Death) represent major life events, spiritual lessons, and significant turning points. Minor Arcana cards deal with everyday situations across four suits: Wands (creativity), Cups (emotions), Swords (intellect), and Pentacles (material matters).

Can tarot predict the future?

Tarot doesn't predict a fixed future but rather reveals potential outcomes based on current energies and paths. It's a tool for self-reflection and guidance, helping you understand situations more clearly and make informed decisions about your life direction.
