Dear Friends,

I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread where members can ask for help on interpreting their own tarot readings.
I see one or two from time to time, but wouldn't it be great if we could keep all the wisdom in one thread, so it can be referred back to?

A couple of provisos:

1. It would be great if all levels of readers, budding, studying or experienced, could participate, as we all have wisdom, no matter what our level of 'ability'!

2. I think it would be best to keep the help requests to 1-3 cards. Interpreting a big spread would take a long time, and I don't know about anyone else, but I would prefer it to be laid out in front of me rather than words on a page.

3. Photos of readings could be helpful to the more visual reader like myself, and would also foster a more accurate interpretation due to being able to see how the individual cards sit and link in relation to each other.

4. Let me know your thoughts on this idea

- are you a reader willing to help others learn?

- are you a reader trying to understand certain cards or spreads?

I would not be able to manage this myself, so I am hoping some of you will be interested!

Thoughts?

Ideas?

Is anyone else interested in participating in this?

Or any suggestions for improvement at all?

Thank imeanj, links to good interpretation are always helpful!

I was hoping though that we could get discussion going about cards. I think one of the most effective ways to improve tarot interpretation skills is to really analyse the cards with the other cards within a discussion.

When I was a beginner, my learning skyrocketed when I started discussing the cards in detail, the archetypes, the myths, the symbolism, the smallest details to the biggest meaning. It is thanks to these discussions, discussions I would later continue in my head when interpreting that I rarely lifted a book on tarot.

The cards really do tell a story, and literally telling that story with others can really bring them alive!

Dannycappy,

you probably know what I am going to say about yes/no questions!

The tarot was never meant to answer these questions. It is a tool of empowerment. It cannot empower if it rises above free will.
I am not saying it *can't* answer yes/no questions, what I am saying, is *should* we use it for this? Is this the best use of those rich, multi-layered narratives that encapsulate the archetypes, myths and collective consciousness of humanity?

There is so much more information to be had in the tarot that is far more useful than yay or nay!

Personally, I would change the question Dannycappy.

Excellent! Remember you can bring the reading to this thread if you want, if you are struggling with it, however, I suspect it will be much clearer with a better question!
