I just got a deck by John Holland. It's kind of its own thing Tarot/Oracle deck.

I'm just very overwhelmed and I don't know where to begin with what the cards mean, how to 'play' them, the positioning, everything, etc.

It would mean so much. Thank you!

Hi TTO3,

Did you receive a book with the deck?

Is there any information you can check on online. Justing googling now, I am able to find tons of info. also type in how to read tarot and see what pops.

The way I do it, is to shuffle my cards, ask a question outloud or in my head, while still shuffling and spread the card out in a semi-circle, and pick 3 cards that you feel drawn too.
the first card is the past, 2nd card the present, and 3rd card the future, and see how they relate to your questions.

Remember tarot isn't about the future, but rather, what the current situation is, and what is likely to happen if you don't make changes.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I would like to mention I'm thinking about also getting the Joie de Vivre Tarot Deck. For a more traditional thing.

Hi there! Thank you so much for the information! While I like that method it sounds nice, I've spoken to some other psychics who will mention how one card is "reversed" or one is "crossed over this other card" or some complicated things such as that. If you don't mind me asking, what is that about? I'd like to get as complicated as possible so that I can be very accruate

Thank yoU!

a reversed card in tarot is normally negative. Googling will definitely help you. I would recommend to start out with, get familiar with the cards and their meanings and then do a 1 or 2 card draw for yourself every morning asking about your day. Then you can put the meanings to use that way

Agree with D,

You need to understand the meaning of the cards( all of them first). The cards are always going to be complicated, thats why you ask for help for clarification, but again google would help.

check out keen tarot.

Start out with 1,3 card pulls until you can read all three cards together like a thread, and then do a 7 card or 10 card layout. again all this on google.

I received the 22 waite cards with a book with card means, and layouts, and went from there.

Thanks guys. I just purchased the other deck because it has the traditional 78 cards. I'd prefer to go that route as opposed to something "new" and weird which I'd have to learn. I want to stick with the standard and also this deck that I just purchased... it feels right. So here's to hoping. I'll probably update this thread further. Thank you.

You can learn from my site here:
http://www.bluetiful.me/intuitive-spread

That's the celtic cross the complicated spread you were talking about before in one of your other threads.

I can coach you for other things, but it isn't free.

Guys thank you so so much!
Randall, thank you so much for the suggestion

And Empress, I may have to take you up on that offer at some point, thank you so much!
I've been trying hard (not a frustrated "trying hard" but a calming, "let it come to me" trying hard) to get in touch with my intuition.

So I asked if I'll marry this girl...

It came up with the Harmony card, Spiritual Union and the Love Begins cards... (I'm using the John Holland deck so it's a bit different)

now when I look at the cards, I feel "full" it's the best way I can explain it. But what worries me is, how do I know when it's just "a card" that I drew, or when it's actually "them speaking through the cards"?

And also, when I look at the cards, I see two people in love and 'together'. But I know that some readers can see beyond that and gather timeframes and a deeper understanding into what these cards mean with a specific situation. How do I get there? It's like I can just see the surface and be like "Oh cool that card". I don't get a inner deeper knowledge into it; no flashes of anything, so I can't really interperate the cards well. Because I don't feel a "meaning" I'm just "reading the cards".

How do actually "connect" and get "deeper" with understand the cards and relating them to specific circumstances? - Like some people will get a "number" for contact, for example, or know deeper into what's going on, as if they're looking further into the card, and into the actual situation.


EDIT:

I'VE ASKED THE SAME FEW QUESTIONS MANY TIMES AND KEEP GETTING THE EXACT SAME CARDS EACH TIME IN THE EXACT SAME ORDER. WOAH.
