The Moon, like many other Tarot cards, is very complex, and I really don't think I can cover it all here. Like the night, you can't see everything that is hidden at this card at once. In my experience, the Moon is both madness and creativity, which traditionally go hand-in-hand. Some people thrive in the darkness, creating stunning works of art, writing novels under the cover of darkness. The Moon card is emotional, and in my opinion, represents both dark and light. Other times, the Moon card means moving without really knowing where you are going. Imagine the game Clue. You know that someone has been murdered, but you don't know who the killer is. Instead of waiting for the facts, you immediately panic, gather those closest to you, and head for the exit. What you don't know is that one of the people you are dragging along with you is the killer, a real psychopath who is reveling in their misdeeds and who is amused your misplaced trust. The Moon is the panic that cau

Sometimes the cards are clear and forthcoming, sometimes they aren't so eager to answer your questions. Many, many Tarot readers see the 9 of Cups as the wish card, a card that indicates getting what you dream of, what you want most. But really, the 9 of Cups is a card that indicates an unfulfilled desire. If there isn't another card to support your wish actually manifesting, like the 9 of Pentacles, for instance, chances are that the 9 of Cups card is just saying "Well, you WANT it, but you know you don't get everything you want!" If you see the 9 of Cups, don't think all your wishes will come true. Look for other cards that indicate a manifestation before you decide you'll get everything you've wished for!

Strength, or Lust if you are using the Thoth Tarot deck like me, isn't a card that I love to see. In my personal readings, I usually get the Lust card when I am really struggling with controlling my anger. I don't mean an irritation or something that can be brushed off easily. Usually, the Lust card in a personal reading means crying (am I the only one who cries when I am angry?! It seems so weak to do so, doesn't it?!?) raging, seeing red angry. Not easy to control. But most of the time, I do take a step away from the problem and control my anger before talking about it. Speaking in the heat of the moment isn't usually wise and can even create more problems rather than solving anything. The Strength tarot card or the Lust tarot card really is about control. But, sometimes, control is a challenge. I wonder which cards would show up if you were losing control? Perhaps the Devil or the Seven of Swords. Maintaining control? Maybe the Four of Pentacles. Each card wo

Sometimes when my life is particularly boring and I do a Tarot reading for myself, other people's lives will show up in the cards. I usually won't know who the cards are telling me about but it is usually evident when the event that happens, happens. Recently I drew this spread: Devil Death Sun I really had to stop and realize that this wasn't a happy reading. The Sun at the end may, at least initially, give you the idea that there is a happy ending but in this case I assumed that it was implying a sudden and unexpected death. Literal, physical death isn't something that I would usually see but it definitely happened. In this case, it was the wife of a close friend of the family who was under a lot of stress (The Devil) and had a sudden, unexpected heart attack (The Sun) and passed away (Death). I have heard a lot of Tarot readers say things like physical death must be supported by cards like the 10 of Swords or the 5 of Cups (the traditional card of a funeral)

Tarot isn't a tool that limits your choices, but is instead a tool that can help you realize greater potential in even the most challenging situations. It can be tempting to get long, complicated spreads when you have a lot of questions or feel you need guidance in a specific area of your life. But, is this always the right choice? And how often should you get a reading about the same types of questions? A simple, three card reading can provide clarity when you are confused because it is to the point and easy to interpret. More just isn't always better. Readings can be longer and involve more cards if you have several options available or when you have many questions about your specific situation. The key is to look for the links between each card and to interpret each card based on its position within the spread if you want to find clarity in confusing situations. Readings can be done as often as you would like, but not about the same topic. For instance, if you want to kn

The court cards can be a challenge to read, even for the most experienced readers. I have read more than my fair share of books on Tarot, including books based solely on court cards and how they can be understood. Here is a simple breakdown of how I see courts in a Thoth-based deck: Queens are the mothers, the married women and the masters of their suit. When I see a Queen in a reading, I automatically relate it to a woman that I know, or myself since I fit the status of an older woman (ok, I am in my mid-thirties). The Queen of Pents, for example, would be a woman living comfortably who is interested more in the physical comforts of life (including sex!) than spiritual or emotional comforts. The Queen of Swords, on the other hand, is traditionally seen as a divorced woman. The Knights are the Queen's husband or their partners. They usually signify men that are nearby that are older, while the Princes are younger men or men without the same temperance and experience of their
