Tarot card meaning is what gives power to interpretations and predictions; each card has a significance and a peculiar symbolism attached to it. What people don’t get to understand is that the full tarot card meaning comes from the spread or the combined explanations of the cards for the question of the life issue you expect to learn more about. In the Rider Waite tarot, there are seventy-eight cards, and the first step beginners have to take is to learn what each of them means. From the King and the Queen to the Fool, the tarot cards can be analyzed, studied and understood depending on the sensible nature of every user.
In time all sorts of changes became manifest in tarot card reading; for people who have a more profound knowledge of the Kabbalah or alchemy, the similarity of symbols could be pretty striking. Thus, all sorts of symbols have been added in time so that the present-day form of the decks is a very complex one. We can only imagine the degree of complexity resulting from the adding of customization elements that make tarot card meaning even more subtle. Thus, many amateur philosophers have their own interpretations of the mystic representations in alchemy and the Kabbalah and they choose to add them to the cards.
The tarot card meaning changes depending on the reading; thus, a single card receives different explanations in relation with the position it occupies in the spread and the vicinity with the rest of the cards. Very often, based on the reader’s own common sense and judgment, a tarot card meaning can prove little relevance for the question under debate and thus be discarded. The cards in the Major Arcana insist on a distinct symbolism, while those in the Minor Arcana stand for the traditional alchemical elements. Thus, the swords correspond to the air, the cups to the water, the pentagrams/circles to the earth and the wands to fire.
In general lines, the tarot card meaning gives one a clue about the way he/she goes through the personal journey: is one on the right path or has one strayed away? This tarot card meaning normally results from the spreads in the Major Arcana where life aspects have correspondent cards: the fool stands for the beginning of a journey, the magician shows you the way towards wisdom, the high priestess speaks of self-balance, the empress points to pleasure, wealth and love, while the emperor is the expression of power and authority, and so on and so forth.
