A compilation of tarot notes based on my experience and observations as a tarot reader.
🍬 The question you are asking is the most important part of a tarot reading. That's why you should only ask one question at a time for clear and precise answers. If you ask more than one question at a time, you'll have a harder time interpreting the cards because you don't immediately know which card answers which question.
🍬 You don't actually have to verbally ask a question to your deck, they already know what question you're thinking about. They're telepathic.
🍬 Tarot decks are good at adapting to your needs. Eg; if you tell them you'll only read them intuitively based on their imagery then they'll give you cards based on the imagery regardless of how much the imagery doesn't correspond to the traditional meaning of the cards.
🍬 A common mistake readers make is using too many jumper cards in their reading. What I mean is this; you're shuffling your deck and then BAM a bunch of cards fall out (more than 3), then you take all of them and use them in your reading. This is just my recommendation; do not do that. It will only confuse you because when this happens, it's usually a case of bad shuffling and the cards you get won't give you proper clarity on the question you asked. If 3 or more jumper cards comes out all at once, I recommend putting them back in the deck and continue shuffling.
🍬 Tarot de Marseilles and Thoth Tarot are very different from the Traditional Rider Waite Smith Tarot (RWS), in terms of imagery and meaning. Thus, you're not supposed to mix them together like interpreting Thoth Tarot using RWS card meanings.
🍬 Pip cards are minor arcana cards that only have symbols on them. Eg; Four of Wands (if a pip card) would literally only have four wands as the imagery of the deck.
🍬 There are tons of ways to do yes/no readings with tarot. The one I use is cards with positive meanings = yes while cards with negative meanings = no, I only pull one card unless I need more clarification. Some other people use upright as yes and reversals as no.
🍬 I believe the most effective way to do timing readings is to only use minor arcana (excluding court cards) and classify the suits into specific time. Eg; wands = days, swords = weeks, cups = months, pentacles = years.
🍬 For predicting career; wands = creative careers, swords = careers involving intellect, law or technology, cups = health and care, pentacles = finance and business. Of course, you have to take the card meaning into account as well, not just the suit.
🍬 You can predict astrology placements by using major arcana and their astrological correspondence.
🍬 The Chariot to me always has the theme of overcoming challenges and transportation.
🍬 The Moon will always have something to do with intuition and emotions to me.
🍬 People be afraid of the "negative" cards such as Death, Tower, Ten of Swords, The Wheel of Fortune, Devil, etc. while I am afraid of the Emperor reversed which can give the theme of abuse.
🍬 To me, the Wheel of Fortune gives a more "life is full of ups and downs" as opposed to what some people interpret it as, which is "everything is going to shit".
🍬 The Devil coming out during a personality reading doesn't necessarily mean that the person is toxic, obsessive or addicted to something. It could also mean that the person feels restricted from being themselves or doing things that they want to do. Eg; closeted LGBT+ person in a judgemental society.
🍬 Aromantics would read the Lovers and Two of Cups differently than others, preferring to get rid of the romantic theme of the cards' meaning. Which reminds me:
🍬 The Lovers doesn't necessarily have to mean a romantic relationship.
🍬 And a lot of people prefer to use Two of Cups as romantic relationship than the Lovers.
🍬 Five of Cups can also mean that someone is being pessimistic and refuse to acknowledge the positive side of things. Instead, they wallow in their self pity.
🍬 The Queen of Swords to me is someone who doesn't care about what people think of her.
🍬 To me, Six of Swords is not gonna be a smooth journey. It's gonna be a difficult or at least rocky one.
🍬 Seven of Swords can also mean being calculated and hiding your true self from people or the public. It's a card for celebrities. It doesn't necessarily mean they're a bad person inside though. This card can also mean being a lone wolf.
🍬 Four of Pentacles always reminds me of being possessive/protective especially of one's finances.
🍬 Five of Pentacles can also mean not asking for help even when you need it.
🍬 The nines of every suit is like "almost there but not yet".
🍬 The oldest surviving tarot deck pattern is Tarot de Marseilles.
🍬 A lot of people don't vibe well with the Original Rider Waite Smith Tarot Deck.
🍬 The harshest tarot decks (according to my observation) are the Wonderland Tarot and Shadowscapes Tarot.
🍬 The Nightmare Before Christmas tarot deck is apparently very good with communicating with spirits.
🍬 The Wild Unknown decks apparently give dark and mysterious vibes (not negative, think Scorpio vibes).
🍬 Tarot of the Divine is really sassy.
🍬 Tarot de la Nuit has a rather pessimistic look on things but is amazing at understanding people. It also gives big sis vibes.
🍬 Traditional Manga Tarot is very money minded. I mostly get pentacles cards when I use the deck.
🍬 Cute tarot decks usually give cute, soft, friendly and cheerful attitude.
🍬 Fanmade tarot decks are way better in terms of art and quality compared to official tarot decks like Disney Villains Tarot.
🍬 When you interview any romance-themed tarot deck and you ask "What type of readings are you best suited for?", they won't answer romance/love readings.
Nobody asked for this but I wanted to make it anyway. Hope you enjoyed! And remember to eat your meals and stay safe 💖 If you'd like to make your own "tarot notes", go ahead! I'd love to read them UwU
