Agreed... as far as Tarot goes... it is the visual/pictorial/powerpoint representation of the three listed above.

No, THEY didn't. I like using capitals for emphasis.(notice you spelled it wrong) Makes it easier for reader to digest important points. WHO makes up the rules anyway?? YEAH "WHO"??? And even WHO says they are "right"?? Communication is about communicating ideas EFFECTIVELY THERE ARE NO RULES.. Love from Sun Square Uranus

I'm not bothered about rules online. Ideas over medium. Better to drink champagne out of a plastic cup than juice out of a crystal tumbler. But, if I WERE to pick one it would be over- capitalisation. Why? It's not just lazy, it's in lieu of ideas and justification for the purported importance. Therefore ineffective.

If you ever doubt that tarot works, go to youtube. Search for tarot readings for your astrological sign and the month we are in. You can watch 10 videos from readers all over the world, who couldn't possibly know one another. The degree to which these videos are accurate and eerily similar never ceases to amaze me.IP: Logged |

Great idea! I'm watching some videos for Capricorn, September 2015. Please note: I know almost nothing about tarot.... * By Rock N' Roll Prophetess - Very accurate, or seems to be so at this point anyway. * By Brandi Surber - This reading also gets The World, 8 of Swords - Another emphasis on endings, changes - I like this one, too. * By Sheri Isabella - She doesn't mention the cards she is looking at, so after a bit of watching, so I skipped. * By Rainbowlight Yoga - Another reading that talks about wanting solutions in love and money - 8 of Swords again but reversed here - 8 of Cups again, as seen in first reading - 9 of Pentacles, I like what she says - Again, the last card is Pentacles and a good outcome predicted * By Chantal Espaillat - 8 of Swords again These readings tend to be lengthy so I'm done for now...might check out more later if the mood strikes!

I mean I tried pulling tarots as an experiment. Obviously I dont have much knowledge. When someone pulls cards for me, it's fine. But there are times when I try pulling cards 5 times for one situation and each time, it turns out completely different. And I'm a very "logical," linear kinda person so I just can't get how people can "tap into consciousness." IP: Logged |

Synchronicities are what happen when you lose the cause and effect basis of understanding reality (which is limited) and in that case imagery and emotion becomes meaning. So then using a system of imagery, that appeals to emotional/intuitive thinking seems more logical.
If cause/understanding of reality are the basis of reality - all I ask is let's not argue this on an astrology forum with a topic based off Tarot. Dreams may also be systematic, in fact life is a system. We all have our ways of incorporating what's real or not. This is an Astrology system - one of the ways to learn of how much we are truly limited, but room to explore. I have to ask - if you dare venture into astrology and worry about Capitals, what happens if you are given a reading where a person is unable to speak English, but the chart coincides with the one you've done yourself? Btw - Tarot reading to me is not based off numbers, unless it's something you check everyday like you would a horoscope as a teenager. This is great for the Interpersonal forum! Yes, numbers are universal, but nobody looks at The Fool and thinks " Zero, or XXII... Even though a fool is zero, first reaction is; I've gotten a fool, or I'm a fool ". Basically the creating of a tarot is the overall picture, and it is not a number. Even if it is... Well, guess you have to flip the next card to find out. (Hi, Einstein, you're playing 21!).. And that's why in Tarot there is only ONE. We all want to be the King, and never the fool. If you can appreciate/recognize the system, Tarot is great because you can truly be a [The Fool], or [The King] of your own domain/life path... AT THE MOMENT. A fool may hold court, and a King may beg. ------------------ All that glitters is not Gold.

For being a "logical" person, I think it's amazing that you searched for answers this way! The best answer based off your wording in my experience... The first one is always right - to speak your language... It's the most logical - you'll either fight it or pursue for more, regardless. ------------------ All that glitters is not Gold. IP: Logged |

What do you mean that it's amazing ? I'm curious haha I just feel like tarot requires some sort of special psychic ability that earthy people like me can't delineate the steps IP: Logged |

To be precise...What did you hope to experiment with by pulling tarot? Why does tarot need a psychic need but not astrology? I quoted earlier that they all fit. Ex. - when you first go into astrology, you go to a software that pulls your chart (once you get past sun sign). Why is this ok, but not someone pulling your tarot? You can do your own tarot, just as much as you can draw your own chart. Unless you have your own cards/chart system, it's really up to each individual. Even if I had my own - since I didn't think of it first, I would appreciate any opinion because otherwise it's redundant to question in the first place. Earth aspects are huge in tarot.... Ex. - the goat man in tarot is the same pictorial symbol as the one in astrology sun sign representing Capricorn... The goat man. ------------------ All that glitters is not Gold. IP: Logged |

Hades fish, tarot is about numbers. All the Majors go from 1-9 (and obviously back again, as you would add the double digits together) and they have a direct correspondence to the numbered court cards. Zero is the fool, the stage before you embark on a journey.For ex. I've been getting tons of sixes all summer in my readings. 6 is also the lovers card. Sixes are Venus. This is about relationships, love, beauty, balance. It's all inter related. To the poster who said they keep getting a mix of cards (I'm sorry I've forgotten your name and my phone makes it difficult to see anything other than what I'm typing right now) This used to happen to me. What I did was take on tarot as serious study, which takes a lot of time. Now it doesn't happen any more. It's as if the cards respect me now, since I respect them. Also, if you ask variations of the same question over and over, you'll get a mess. Try streamlining your questions. Veer away from questions about others, and ask things from your POV. IP: Logged |

Repeating it too much, for the same questions, is to be avoided I think you mean you are skeptical, and it is perfect. I am a skeptic myself; I never embrace (automatically) ideas and belief systems coming from others or from tradition, which is the main reason I don't have a religion. I think it's very bad for the brain; only ideas tested by personal experience should be embraced; I didn't "believe" in these things, I just discovered they work. Before I discovered it for myself, I was convinced they don't. Strong earth chart here as well (plus Air connected to the mind) - Virgo Sun and Cap ASC to mention just the basics ------------------ I seem to have loved you in numberless forms...
