Yesterday, during my morning meditation, I was inspired to start working on a new video series that would explore how we, as humans, can use the ideas embodied in the Tarot cards to bring more awareness to everyday events and situations. As we do, this new understanding may help people develop their sense of discernment with regards to what they…

Tips for reading Page cards
There are two things that really stand out to me when I think of Page cards. 1) The character placed on the card is usually young. I tend to think of them as someone who’s between about 13 and 25. And 2) the personality traits that are assigned to these cards seem to align with the elemental aspects of the…
Arches on the Tarot Cards
Some symbols on the cards tend to go deeper then others. In the case of the arches, you (may) find that they are more than just a pile of rocks in the background. If you really think about them, you’ll find that they add appropriate meanings and help build depth in the cards that they appear on. If you look…
Tips for Reading the Kings
If you’re like most people that start out learning about Tarot, reading the Kings and Queens (or for that matter any court card) may present some challenges. There is typically some form of inner panic that occurs when the card is drawn that where the dialog might be ‘ok, what does this king represent again? Damn, why can’t I remember…
A Deeper Meaning in the Grapes?
Of all the seemingly mundane things to find on Tarot cards, we find Grapes. They have been a staple on the cards yet get overlooked. The grape leaf and fruit have both been a symbol of wealth and status for centuries, but why is this? Is there something deeper in this that we need to learn in order to enrich…
Scepters and Authority on the Tarot Cards
Anyone that’s looked closely at a classic tarot deck has noticed that there are a number of scepters held by different characters on a number of Tarot cards. They look simple enough and generally fit the ‘style’ of medieval art that is found on the cards. If you step back for a moment, most everyone has some association with what…
Columns on the Tarot Cards
In the quest to understand how to read deeper meanings out of the cards, my attention was drawn to the columns that have predominant placements on a few of the cards. One of the interesting things about columns is that pretty much everyone has seen some type of architecture with columns in it. In almost every case, the building is…
How to read the Lemniscate (Infinity) symbol
Let’s talk about infinity. I can remember learning, at a very young age, that no matter how high someone can count, there always exists a number just beyond the number you choose. The simple trick is to add one to whatever the number was that was listed and you’ll get the next one. To anyone that thinks about this for…
Video Interpretations for the Cards
It took me a while, but I’m finished! I now have a complete collection of short video interpretations of each card in the deck both upright and reversed. The easiest way to get to them is to visit the ‘cards’ page and click on the card. When the page renders, the item labeled “Video Interpretation” contains a link that play…
Is the House System in Astrology related to Tarot?
A couple days ago, when listening to someone else talk about Tarot, an idea come to me that the Major Arcana might be related to the astrology house system and that it might have a loose association with the astrology signs as seen through the traditional astrology wheel. When this idea came to me, I singled out the Major Arcana…
