A Basic Review Of Some Tarot Card Meanings

By Robert McDonald


People of a certain generation will probably remember driving in the car with their parents to some vacation destination. As you looked out of the window, you might have noticed a palm reader sign in the window of a house or commercial building. Most parents would never stop and go in even if their children begged them to. Today fortune tellers are more likely found by going online, and many skeptics are still intrigued by the unknown. Palm readings, crystal balls, and Tarot cards are all used by those who claim the ability to predict the future.

Depending on what you read or who you believe, these cards may or may not go back to ancient times. Some adamantly state that they were commonly used in early Egyptian civilization. Someone else will tell you that there is no evidence for that, and the cards did not show up historically until the fourteenth century. Still others point to the eighteenth century as the earliest indication they existed.

Whatever the truth, the cards are pretty consistent in what they show. One of the cards depicts a character generally known as the Fool. He has the sort of personality that most of us think we would like to have. The Fool is devil may care and individualistic. He does not make plans, and he never seems to know what he is going to do next.

The Empress is a symbol of nurturing, creativity, and a love of the good life. She represents someone who has the ability to take things as they come while remaining cool, calm, and collected. She seems to be a friend of nature and abundance. The empress will probably remind you of that friend or person you work with who has all the confidence in the world in themselves.

Another card that is generally positive is the Emperor. This individual has strong opinions and a strong personality to match them. He is not opposed to going his own way and making unpopular decisions if he feels justified. His confidence and sense of power make him a formidable adversary, but he is not one to shy away from controversy and can be a strong ally.

The symbol of peace, self-containment, and solitude is depicted in the Hermit card. He represents the inner workings of individuals and seems to advocate a life of contemplation. Unlike the Fool, this is an individual who carefully thinks before he acts and wants to understand the consequences of his actions.

The Lovers card of course represents connection, sexual energy, collaboration, and unity. When people think of fortune tellers, many imagine them giving advice and information about who is going to come into the subject's life and whether or not he or she can be expected to stay. Not everyone understands that a union is not necessarily between two people attracted to one another.

Having your future read by a believer can be very interesting and might give you something to think about on your own. It may help you work through some problems in your life in new ways. Even if you are skeptical and take the whole idea with a huge grain of salt, you will at least have fun.
