  • Chapter 1: Introduction

    Hi, I'm Ian Eshey, the author. Tarot is my hobby and best to make it clear up front I'm not anexpert. I just enjoy it tremendously, and I'll share with you the way to make sense out of Tarot (andquickly) in the same way I discovered it. This booklet is not meant to be the sole resource you'll need to learn Tarot cards' meanings orhow to successfully perform Tarot readings, but it will help you to learn much, much faster. Andanyway, you'll need a Tarot deck, and it usually comes with a book. My goal and much of my effort was to keep the material as light as possible to make it quick toread (several times in a single afternoon!) and to stick to the point. Hope you enjoy it.

  • Chapter 2: What You Need to Know to Learn Tarot Quickly

    Querying Your Subconscious with Tarot

    For centuries, Tarot has meant different things to different people. For me, it's a game: a fun andinsightful mechanism of consulting one's own subconscious resources, very much like the ancient I-Ching. When I need to think about a real life situation I have gotten myself into, consulting a Tarotalways provides me with surprising insights. My subconscious has already dwelt on the problem andTarot reading is the great way to let it point me to some crucial detail or new angle to consider.

    How Reading for Other People Works

    Because Tarot is a mechanism for contacting the subconscious, if you read cards for someoneelse you simply must explore the situation together. There's no other way. You can't just spread thecards for someone and construct a nice story all by yourself while other person keeps her mouthshut. That's only contacting your intuition instead of paying careful attention to hers.

    Predict ing the Future?

  • I personally don't try to predict future. But our subconscious surely knows better than ourrational (and utterly biased) mind the most probable outcome of some complicated situation if wedon't take a different approach this time. On the other hand, predicting that you will run into someonetwo and a half months from now and get married next year, and raise a beautiful little girl who willbecome a ballet dancer means only one thing to me stretching it too far.

    Associat ions Are the Key

    People with a healthy amount of skepticism immediately point out that each explanation is prettygeneric and can be applied to most people in most situations. What they don't see until they think of itis that the same card for two people in different situations brings to the surface very differentassociations. That's why every single book or article tells you that the most important thing of all isto let your intuition guide you.

    Use Your Intuit ion

    Fortunately, most "modern" (the last hundred years or so) Tarot decks are illustrated and rich withsymbolism, which is not accidental. Simply pay attention to what catches your eye on a card and thisis your intuition guiding you. For example, if you feel that the Moon on a particular card in aparticular reading is somehow important, that might mean your subconscious is telling you toconsider relying more on your intuition in particular situation, but at the same time, to avoid mistakingillusions for reality. This is what Moon basically symbolizes, and I'll talk more on Tarot symbolismlater. Or if we are thinking about a particular business situation, and most cards in a spread are Cups(which usually represent emotions), our subconscious can either disregard it or sound an alarm thatwe should consider the emotions involved, never mind that it's counterintuitive for the businesscontext.

    Tarot Symbolism

    People have always given much thought to the deeper meaning of the things that surround us, and

  • Tarot uses the deep rooted symbolism for such things heavily. Much of this we already knowbecause it's part of every culture on Earth. Let's see some of the most recurring symbols on Tarotcards. After you have read about their most common meanings, you will be able to easily developfurther associations yourself; so it's best just to read this instead of trying to "learn" the meanings.

    The Symbolic Meanings of Tarot Suits

    You surely know the basic meanings of Tarot suits already; but let's see it from anotherperspective. Cups represent the Water element, which is a life source, the symbol of natural cycles,and rarely acts directly its actions are indirect but very powerful, and water always finds its way,like emotions. Wands are made of wood, which easily turns to raging fire a powerful force buthard to control. Swords have two sides of the blades and represent the mind (traditionally associatedwith the Air element), which solves complex problems but can also be source of conflict anddestruction and is to be used carefully. Pentacles (or Coins) represent the Earth element andsymbolize material matters, not simply money, and also physical manifestations of stability, cautionand effort. Now it's easy to make further connections; for example, Pentacles in particular situationcan draw your attention to generosity or a lack of it, or to the need for good, old-fashioned effort, oreven to being overly cautious or being involved with too much planning and too little action.

    People as Symbols

    People depicted on Tarot cards clearly show their emotions or where their focus is. If they areturning their back, they are usually contemplating something, and if they have blinded eyes, they can'tsee something otherwise obvious. Children and family represent harmony and happiness; or they maypicture a moment of rest before things get rolling again. Pages are naive and hunting for experiencewhile Knights are experienced and action oriented. Queens are mature, wise and subtle; and Kings aremature, knowledgeable and in control. Females, generally speaking, represent Yin, which in itsextreme represents stability, action through indirect means and relying on intuition. Males are Yang:dynamic and prone to more direct means, like applying the intellect or taking direct action.

    Astrological Symbols

    A Star represents guidance and hope. The Sun is huge power and positive energy, and brings

  • clear visibility of all things. There are, of course, many more associations and nuances we connectwith the Sun, but they are probably intuitive for each and every one of us (for example, the sun risingafter the night or sun chasing the clouds away). The Moon is also a force of nature, representing thecyclical nature of things and our perception relying more on intuition, but under the influence of theMoon sometimes it's not easy to distinguish reality from illusion.

    Other Frequent Symbols in Tarot

    Ships often represent starting on a journey, and with the Oceans they sail on, we associate notonly unlimited possibilities but also a higher force that we can't influence. Path is exactly that; butmore likely than not, it's not a physical path. Mountains are at the same time obstacles and goals thatopen new horizons when reached. Fields and Harvest represent results as well as the connectionsbetween actions and their consequences. The Wall is a limitation and a Castle far away symbolizesstability and the safety we have yet to achieve, like a final or intermediate goal, but nonethelessimportant. The Bridge lets you transition from the present (for example, a negative) context andsurroundings to another; it is basically the means to get to somewhere else, but it needs to be foundand used it cannot do anything by itself.

    Tarot Numerology

    What has numerology to do with Tarot? Simply speaking, each suit's cards, from the Ace (whichis One) to Ten, represent progression from a new beginning and great potential (Ace) to a conclusionand the base (Ten) for the next cycle for the theme represented by each of the four Tarot suits.

    The Numbers Two to Nine

    After the Ace comes the Two, which represents a choice or decision to be made and also theneed for balance or the connection of two inherently separate things. Three represents first resultsand situation development. Four represents stability and solid foundations (four corners of a house);but it could also indicate increasing boredom as there is a lack of dynamics. Five ruins the balanceand brings unexpected change, with all the challenges that go with it. Six again brings stability in oneway or another, and things can go on. Seven brings a moment of rest and the opportunity to plan nextsteps, while Eight puts material stability (e.g., money or something palpable) in focus as either a

  • positive or a negative influence. Nine represents the last step in coming to a conclusion, with all theconsequences of past actions, and all the good and the bad associations that come with it, forexample, a harvest.

    How to Learn All Tarot Card Meanings Quickly

    Learning the meanings of and nuances for each of 78 cards doesn't sound easy or fun. Especiallywhen you realize that each card can mean many different things depending on the context. But thegood thing is that each card isn't an independent entity: Cards follow each other and describedifferent stages in real life cycles, such as a person maturing, an idea developing, or a projectadvancing.

    Look at Tarot Cards as Life Progressions

    Such progressions are easy to tell as a story. To our ancestors, stories were the single mainmechanism of passing on information. Our brains are designed to catch a "thread" in a story andautomatically attach the details along the way. Thus, I have written six short stories containing all 78cards primarily to help myself. These same stories will also help you to quickly and easily learn themeanings of each card. An additional benefit is that you will be able to automatically think of eachcard as part of "progression" (What happened before? What is yet to come?), which is much morepowerful than simply considering the meaning of the card in isolation (like when I started, and I triedto read spreads by simply reading the "meanings" from a book that came with the deck. You haveprobably guessed that I was more often than not pretty frustrated with the results.)

    Stick to General Learning Rules

    Of course you will learn much quicker if you apply several well-known general rules forlearning anything. These are as follows (keeping it simple): using different channels, maintaininginterest and repetition.

  • Use Mult iple Channels

    The different channels of learning are viewing, listening, speaking and doing. Simply combinethem as you like just use more than one channel: read the stories, look at the cards, read loud,discuss the cards and the readings with friends, or open spreads for yourself. Use your imaginationhere.

    Be Careful to Maintain Your Interest

    If you lose interest along the way, it's a sure bet you won't learn much. One of the tricks tomaintaining your interest is to define mini goals, for example, "learning" a single story. Or being ableto open spreads still using the book you received with your deck, but now with your ownunderstanding kicking in and completing the picture. Using different channels imaginatively alsohelps. Try several ways of learning to avoid getting bored, and don't try to do all at once to avoidburnout.

    Repeat What You Have Just Learned

    After you have read a story, repeat what you have just learned. Then do something else (notrelated to Tarot) for 15 minutes to let your memory integrate the information, and then repeat oncemore and tomorrow again. Numerous studies have shown a huge (several times!) difference inmemorized information between those who don't practice repeating what they have just "learned" andthose who practice in the above-mentioned or a similar way.

  • Chapter 3: Learn How to Perform a Reading

    Form the Most Productive Question

    First you need a reasonable question. For example, this is not such a good question: "Will I get araise tomorrow at the meeting with my boss?" However, asking the following questions, for the samesituation, will get you much further in enlisting the help of your subconscious: "What are myadvantages? Shortcomings? What should I focus on? What are the obstacles?"

    Finding a Meaningful Spread for a Part icular Situat ion

    Then, we open the cards in a spread. The Internet is full of different spreads, but each tries topoint to different aspects of the situation you are interpreting. It's perfectly ok to ask specificquestions and open one card for each. For example, one card tells you the pros and another the consof the situation. Or two cards tell you the positive and negative sides of a decision you areconsidering. Or when you are considering two options, you can ask what you gain and what you losefor each. At the beginning, the easiest spread to learn is to open three cards for the past, the presentand the future of a situation. And of course, nobody said you can't combine all of the above.

    Reading Is a Story

  • Then you come to making a story out of the position of each card in a spread and meanings ofindividual cards. After you open the cards, let your imagination loose. It's much more important whatintuitively comes to your mind than the "exact" meaning of a card (because such doesn't exist).

    Major Arcana Cards

    Major Arcana cards point to big lessons in life. They represent something both important andlasting (for at least some time, that is), and the need for the maturation of a segment of the inner self.The whole reading needs to be considered in the light of the lesson a Major Arcana card is teaching.The more Major Arcana cards, less control one has over the situation.

    Minor Arcana Cards

    Minor Arcana cards fill in the mundane details: They tell you about some specific everyda yworries, events and emotions.

    Court Cards

    For particular situations, Court cards can either point to other people influencing you or toaspects of yourself that you need either more of or less of. Court cards are especially interestingbecause each represents both conflict and the synergy of two forces: The card's basic nature (whichof the four Tarot suits it belongs to) and traditional responsibilities of its position in the courthierarchy.

  • Posit ive and Negative Card Implicat ions

    Don't forget that each card has both positive and negative implications. A simple rule forfocusing on negative implications is if we either open the card and it's reversed, or we place it in a"negative" position in a spread.

  • Chapter 4: The Stories

    Fools' Journey

    You start the journey as a Fool (0), naive and carefree, excited by all the new experiences. Insearch of knowledge, you proceed as a Magician (I), manipulating the inanimate world around youand finding out the boundaries. Soon you realize that there are other kinds of knowing, and as a HighPriestess (II), you start freeing your intuition. This doesnt prove to be enough, and you find thateverything in nature has to be in balance, and through the mother stereotype, the Empress (III), youexplore your interest in nature, life and creation, and start to listen to the emotional world. Now youknow enough about your environment and become aware that there is an internal structure to allthings. Through father stereotype, Emperor (IV), you discover authority and rules. Finally, youbecome interested in other people and the mysteries of outer world, and through Hierophant (V), youlearn it's ways and beliefs, and how to become a part of it. A need arises for a deeper connectionwith others Lovers (VI) but it proves difficult to find a balance between passion and reality. You become aware of your value, and you are no longer a child. With Chariot (VII), you take offalone into the wide world, decisive and self-confident; but you quickly begin to realize that havingcontrol isn't exactly easy, and you are forced to develop discipline and willpower. Soon, you areforced to find your inner Strength (VIII) and to confront your first real problems and challenges, bothin the outer world and, more importantly, in yourself. This leads to a quest for answers, and as aHermit (IX) in isolation, you strive to understand all the whys and acquire a deeper understanding ofyourself. You discover the connection of all things, and everything begins to "click." Through theWheel of Fortune (X), you accept fate as a legitimate factor in life and the whole universe, and it'sexactly fate that unrolls the story further into the unexpected. You continue to better understand thewhole picture and how your complete past creates the present. Finally, through Justice (XI), youaccept responsibility for your own life and realize that right now, your each and every tiniest actionmakes your future. You have learned a lot, but now you understand that you have just scratched the surface. You mustlearn to let go in order to proceed, and as a Hanged Man (XII), you look at the world from a reversedperspective. You may be judged a fool by others, but you'll continue the journey unburdened and with

  • much more solid foundations. Transformation represented by Death (XIII) begins, and despite thegreat pain of the whole life phase ending, you are confident that you are on the right track, and youleave a big part of your ego behind. Finally, you develop a strong inner balance, and the wildwondering about your actions and motivations disappears. Through Temperance (XIV), you start toapply the newly discovered powers of moderation and flexibility. You have come so far;nevertheless, you continue to explore your inner self, and through the Devil (XV), soon start verypainful confrontations with your dark depths. You find the chains that constrain you from furthergrowth in previously hidden areas of your ignorance, self-deceptions and addictions. You freeyourself of your chains and your misery only when you bring down your whole world represented asthe Tower (XVI). Maybe only the external cataclysm gave you a huge enough impulse to finally actand free yourself; and however painful this process proves to be, your understanding is finally deep.You are getting somewhere. The goal is finally clear as a Star (XVII), and it gives you hope and faith to continue on calmly.But it's not over yet the last challenge is the Moon (XVIII), whose illusions seduce and confuseyou, so that you question what needs to be questioned and what doesn't until you learn to discernillusion from truth. After the doubts and tricks of night, the Sun (XIX) brings the crystal clarity of theday, which you go through with great confidence and knowledge of yourself. Finally, you stop andtake inventory of all that is behind you (Judgment (XX)). However hard won your experiences havebeen, you rise above your ego, your shortcomings and your limitations, and you are ready for nextlevel of existence. You have learned all the lessons and successfully integrated all parts of yourselfinto a fully-complete and balanced whole. Through the World (XI), you reach a new level ofhappiness and fulfillment; however, although this cycle has concluded, you are ready to journey on acompletely new level.

    Struggle of the Swords

    It has suddenly dawned on you how to resolve complex situations (1), and you are full of renewedenergy as you start towards the solution. Of course, you are quickly faced with a tough decision (2),and you are stuck because you don't know how to integrate two critical but contradicting interests.Finally, you made the decision, and there is no going back. You move on, but the consequences arepainful (3) because, whatever you had to do, some options are now lost forever. Maybe it's best torestrain from too much action (4), charge your batteries and prepare for the conflict that's coming. You have won the conflict somehow (5) but not without losses, and you realize each victory is atthe same time, someone elses defeat. Maybe you could have done better, but the path is clear now.Finally, without distractions, but also without much joy (6), you continue along the path toward yourgoal. You have found out the hard way that your actions affect other people too. But the patheveryone expects you to take is not for you, and on your own, you go for the alternative (7). As isoften the case in life, you got yourself into a tough situation with seemingly no way out (8). But thereis both the solution and the path to take, if only you managed to open your eyes and see things as theyreally were. You are in reach of your goal, but worries and doubts are killing you (9), and subconsciously youdon't dare to take the last step until you find the courage to honestly confront your fears andexpectations. The situation is finally and conclusively resolved (10), and although the result may befar from what you hoped for, the long struggle is over. Unexpectedly, you feel almost calm nowis the moment for reflection and learning your lessons.

  • Fulfillment of the Cups

    Suddenly you recognize a new beginning; you feel it as (1) an emerging river of positiveemotions, and even though it's still small, you know nothing can stop it. You let yourself be guided byyour intuition, and you are rewarded with a deep emotional connection (2), full of the hope andpromise that mutual enrichment will grow into real harmony and balance. Your problems are behindyou and fulfillment is here. You are happy (3), and you are ready to enjoy the good things that arebound to come. You are surrounded by happiness, but you feel there is more (4), and you don't enjoy it so muchanymore: You start taking what makes you happy for granted. Soon, the feeling off fulfillmentvanishes and you decide to move on. You mourn what could have been (5) and are disappointed withboth yourself and others. The past comes back to help you (6), and again you gain inner harmony.Calm and confident, you are open once more to new experiences. It's time for real effort and to cease building castles in the air (7). You realize that some of lifeschoices are not in reality what they had seemed. You go through much happiness and sorrow to getwhat you have, but your happiness is only an illusion (8) and drains your life energy from you. Yourecognize the moment is here and leave stagnation behind you. You move on to the unknown. Finally, you are in complete harmony with your intuition, and your goals and desires becomecrystal clear. You are so aware and confident that you create happiness (9), both for yourself and thepeople around you. After a long and hard journey, you remember everything you've been through,and completely and consciously enjoy (10) your dreams coming true, because you know that completeawareness of everything that has led to this moment is the only way to reach for even more.

    Implementat ion of the Wands

    Suddenly you are struck with a great idea, (1) which has sparked your ambition, and you are fullof passion and energy to start implementing it. As soon as you start, you are excited about thedifferent possibilities (2). You stop to think about the big picture and to let your intuition tell youhow to proceed. You put everything in motion (3) and intensely monitor the events and how they arebringing you nearer to your goal. Solid foundations are set, and you enjoy tangible results (4), but you know you can't revel in themfor too long but must go on. You encounter a conflict, and you are stuck; you feel attacked from allsides (5). Others don't agree with your ideas on how to proceed, and at the same time, you are notcompletely sure of the ethical implications of your actions. You win, and with all the support youneed, you go on (6), but you shouldn't enjoy the victory too early and had better take care to keepyour focus. Opposition confronts you (7); but despite your fears and doubts, you have to prevail. It's themoment to defend not only what you have achieved but also to defend what is yet to come. The goalis near and the path is clear (8). Quick and resolute action is needed, but you stop for a moment toprepare; you don't want to make a wrong move in haste.

  • You are almost in reach of your goal, and you are very tired of everything (9), but now you knowyou have everything it takes to overcome any obstacle. You find the needed strength and willpowerto defend your success from any unexpected, last minute problem, even though it seems almostimpossible. Finally, y ou reach your goal (10), but you are burned out and don't enjoy the wholepicture. You are worried only about the results and can't see they actually burden you. For too longyou have taken all the responsibility on yourself. You mustn't keep your head in the sand any longer,and widen your perception again. It's time to take inventory of everything that has passed and continuewith your life.

    The Hard Work of the Pentacles

    Luck has smiled on you and a very practical opportunity presents itself (1). You are going for therealization of the opportunity, but with no haste because you know that if you go step by step andcarefully build strong foundations, then nothing can stop you. Of course decisions and risks comequickly (2), and you are extremely busy. The only way to keep everything in balance is to go with theflow, keeping focused at the same time. Soon, you have the first tangible results (3). People aroundyou recognize your accomplishments and even the hard work you put in is fulfilling. You have achieved much, but you have become paranoid about keeping what you have (4). Youhave isolated yourself from everyone. You won't be fulfilled again until you learn to freely use theresults of your efforts and continue further with no fear. As soon as real problems arise, your worldfalls apart (5). You have to somehow gather the last atoms of energy and faith to endure and finally tofind a smarter way to keep going. You stop being an island unto yourself: You have learned to accepthelp when needed and to provide help for other people (6), and things are going well again. Youhave done all you can for now, and present success is evident; but you are restless and worry abouthow to proceed (7). However, you realize that some things can't be hastened; so you use the momentof rest to carefully plan your next steps. You have chosen the way, and it brings you totally new experiences (8). Life isn't easy now, butyou are determined, and you know that through commitment and excellent work, you are gettingcloser to more permanent and complete success at the same time that you grow as a person. Finally,you have everything and what is more, you have achieved great authority and balance (9). In fact, youhave already succeeded no matter what happens next. You have achieved everything you planned andhave created strong foundations (10) that give you both the opportunity and the stability to start newcycles, not only for your gain but also for the people that surround you.

    Discussions of the Court Cards

    It was business as usual in Tarot Caf guests were seated as usual, and four animateddiscussions were taking place. Occupants of the first table were four Pages, always hungry for the experience they generally

  • lack and day-dreaming about new possibilities, as usual, because their youthful outlook gives them anunfailing spring of ideas. As always, the Page of Wands, whose creativity is unmatched, speaks first.He is full of fire, and ornately tells about his new, rather original idea, which has surprisingly bigpotential. Next, its the turn of the Page of Cups, whose intuition guides him through the day, tellingthe others how he made a deeper connection in a particular relationship and how he feels that hisdreams will become reality. Third, the Page of Swords speaks. He is perhaps the most balanced ofall the Pages. He explains how he performed an unusually objective analysis of the situation andfound a completely unexpected way of addressing the problem that has been bothering him lately. Hefinally has a concrete idea of how to resolve a rather complex situation. The Page of Pentaclesspeaks last. Known to be the most responsible and down to earth of all, he explains how openness tonew ideas has brought him to finally understand how to wisely use the resources available to takethis particular opportunity that presented itself. At the second table, four Knights are talking about their missions. First, the Knight of Wandsspeaks. He has neither patience nor the inclination to beat around the bush and declares that he isstarting right away and knows exactly how he will accomplish the task. He is extremely confidentbecause it's just this combination of creativity and determination that has started and finished manydifficult projects. Next, the idealistic and romantic Knight of Cups speaks. He reads people betterthan any other Knight, and speaks of his indirect way of achieving the goal: He might have tomanipulate some people a bit, but with no bad intentions. Third, it is the fearless Knight of Swordsturn. He is totally without emotions and presents an unbiased analysis of the problem (like in a gameof chess) and his direct solution, unconcerned that his approach potentially leads to a conflict. Lastly,the Knight of Pentacles speaks. He is the most conservative and methodical of all, and explains very arealistic and detailed plan of how to succeed in his mission, which needs much persistence and effortbut simply can't fail. At the third table, four Queens are exploring some very complex situations, as usual, becausetheir greatly valued advice and wisdom are needed. They have a knack of putting things in the rightperspective. First, the most ambitious one of all speaks the Queen of Wands. She can indeed be abest friend, but also a worst enemy, telling how, by putting the right ideas in the right ears,everything will come out as she wants. Next, the Queen of Cups speaks. She has a strong connectionwith her subconscious and day-dreams about someone who will help her realize her fantasy;however, she is aware of her own lack of pragmatism in putting ideas into action. Third is the directand truthful Queen of Swords, who isn't exactly easy to be around. She speaks about her demands forperfection. And the last to tell her story is the generous and sometimes too caring Queen ofPentacles, whose wisdom provides for stability, and the balance of the mundane and emotional.Nevertheless, she sometimes goes too far in trying to achieve total security for those she cares for. As usual, at the fourth table, four Kings sit and plan how to organize new projects. Theirauthority, knowledge and experience motivate all the others and get things moving. First is the bornleader, the King of Wands. He always recognizes and draws the best from people. Almost like he isenjoying the complex challenge, he explains, without single trace of doubt, how he will get theunique qualities of each of his men into synergy and implement the project. Next, the born diplomat,the King of Cups, speaks. He never judges but also never shares his motives. He asks for toleranceand moderation, and says that he always listens to everyone before he decides who will be actuallybe assigned to do something. Third, the harsh but fair King of Swords speaks. He is a decisive andbrilliant commander, and presents a brilliant as always analysis of the problem and who will dowhat to resolve it. And last is the most pedantic of all, the King of Pentacles. His thoroughness andbelief in hard work are legendary. He tells of a plan to seize good opportunities, slowly but surely,through team work and well-defined responsibilities.
