The basic principles of divination on Tarot cards

Fortune telling on the Tarot cards is a fascinating and interesting activity. Among the adherents of occultism, there is an opinion that this craft can eventually open a "third" eye in a person. In other words, the fortuneteller, who deals with the Tarot cards, acquires clairvoyance skills. Let's try to learn all the basic principles of working with these ancient symbols. Each such session is a sacrament. Therefore, the first thing to do is tune in to fortune-telling. Then we take candles and light them, sit down at the table, observe complete silence. We shuffle the cards, turn them upside down and lay them out. Before this, it is necessary to clearly formulate the question to which you need to find the answer. The simplest method of fortune telling: we take out one card from the deck with our left hand. This will be the answer to your question. View the card carefully. What associations do you have on the image on it? Pay attention to the number on it and the zodiac sign assigned to it. So, for example, a landed card of the moon means that you are a vulnerable and touchy person. It’s easy to deceive you, since gullibility is another of your main qualities. Did this card drop “shirt” down? The inverted moon warns of certain dangers. Tarot is a system of 78 characters. Some people in fortune-telling use only 22 senior lasso. But you will get a more complete and detailed answer using the entire deck. Next method: 3 cards. That is, the deck is shuffled and laid out in several rows from top to bottom for 3 characters in each row. Here you need to pay attention to the influence of some signs on others. The senior Arcana speaks of the inevitability of fate, of the archetypal force acting in this situation. And the Junior Arcana will help to specify the described situation. Correct interpretation is the most important principle of working with cards. This can only be learned through lengthy training. Be diligent, attentive. And you will succeed.
Description of the Moon Card
Where to start divination? Of course, by studying the meaning of each card. This is a fundamental rule associated with ancient symbolism. We are currently interested in the Tarot Moon card. Against a dark background, two towers are visible on its sides, over which a full moon hangs. Its light spreads everywhere, making the outlines of objects and creatures more expressive in the darkness of the night. On the sides near the towers opposite each other, a wolf and a dog sit and howl at the moon. At the bottom of the map is a lake, from which a huge octopus or crab crawls out. Water is not accidental here. After all, it is known that the tides occur in accordance with the lunar cycle. You can also notice that from the side of the lunar disk, droplets of rain fall to the earth. They symbolize the descent of the Spirit into our world. A very unusual picture appeared before us when considering the Tarot Moon card. Its meaning is very interesting. He will be described in the next chapter.
Moon Card Value
Cheerless thoughts creep into your head when you look at the Moon card. All in gloomy colors. Wild animals, howling at the moon, enter into a state of anxiety and fear. And the huge octopus that emerged from the water is a symbol of hopelessness. Once in his strong network, it is unlikely when you find a way to salvation. But not everything is as gloomy as it seems at first glance. This is how the Tarot Moon card is interpreted correctly: its meaning depends on the environment (neighboring cards) in the situation. Negativity is provided by the fox (flight from reality), owls (excessive suspiciousness) and so on. “Good” neighbors: fish (large accumulations), the moon (creating a family) and others. The appearance of this card should be taken as a warning. It is possible that a person underestimates his opponents, because in the light of the moon everything seems to be deceiving. Enemies can lurk everywhere. It is important not to lose your temper, but not to panic. The map of the moon calls to curb your spirit, not to succumb to your desires and emotions.
Interpretation of the card in the forward position
In fortune telling, it is important not only to know the meaning of ancient symbols, to understand how they affect each other, but also to be able to interpret the pictures that fell upside down. After all, the value of the Tarot Moon card often depends on whether it falls upright or inverted. We can say that the interpretations of the two sides of the card are opposed to each other. In other words, if the direct position of the symbol means positive moments, then the other side, as a rule, can be interpreted only in a negative way. This also applies to the moon map. In the upright position, it means the following: unstable nature, dangers, a long way, suspense, creative crisis, stagnation, vain illusions.
Interpretation of the card
What will the reverse side of the ancient symbol tell us? What is the overturned meaning of the tarot card of the moon? Inverted, it is interpreted as follows: meanness and deception, dissatisfaction with life, senseless actions, inability to distinguish good from bad, truth from lies.
Description of a person’s personality and his health on the Moon card
Often the fortuneteller is asked not only to predict the future, but also to tell about the person to whom the alignment is made. What can tell the moon card about the individual? What are his character traits, appearance, health? In tarot, the moon means mystery, fear, suspense. So the person to whom she fell can be described as follows: shy, always doubts something, not sure of himself, pessimistic, inclined to see everything in black colors, temperament is often melancholic. At the same time, such an individual may possess some clairvoyance. He has a rich imagination. He is impressive, touchy, soft. As a rule, such people often devote themselves to the service of art, work in the field of television or the Internet. Among them are many romantics and dreamers. True, often their thoughts remain unrealized. They often require outside moral support. Also, one should note their suicidal tendency. Such people cannot boast of good health. They are susceptible to various mental illnesses. Among them are many alcoholics with experience and drug addicts. Obsessive fears, phobias, anxiety, suspiciousness, nervous breakdowns and depression are their constant companions. But they develop not only mental illnesses. Women often have menstrual irregularities. The most dangerous disease for them is cancer.
Tarot moon card in love relationship
The inner world of such people is very rich. They are usually smart, well-read, educated. They are interested in classical music and world literature. The Moon map reveals subtle romantic natures in them. They are capable of great feelings. But the union with them cannot be called strong. Relationships in a couple often deteriorate due to the uncertainty of partners in each other, groundless jealousy, excessive touchiness. Living with a person who gets a Moon card is not easy. But with the great desire of both partners, all disagreements can be settled.
What to do if the Moon card has fallen?
And now a few tips for people who fell this ancient mysterious sign. As mentioned earlier, in the Tarot cards, the Moon means a certain fear, suspense, instability of character. In the upright position, it can mean the presence of hidden troubles or enemies waiting in ambush. If you have this symbol, do not be scared. Think of it as a sign of fate telling you to be careful.
