Do you use seasonally-themed cards, either for yourself, for your clients, or for readings at parties? If so, and if you are looking for something new for Valentine’s Day readings, you might be interested in this new deck from Lo Scarabeo. The Heart Tarot images focus on love and relationships. Even better: the cards are heart-shaped.

For those of you who are familiar with Lo Scarabeo decks, you know that they are generally not RWS clones. They are innovative and unique. Because of that, it sometimes takes a little time to master a deck. But what if you just get your hands on a deck and want to use it sooner? I have an idea!

Usually in Lo Scarabeo decks, the major arcana cards are easily recognizable and stick to what we think of as the traditional interpretations. So, until you have time to master the minor arcana cards, use just the majors.

If you do not wish to do a reading using just majors, either pick one position in the spread you are using and draw a card from the majors; then use a deck you are more familiar with for the rest of the positions. Another idea is do the reading with one of your usual decks and then at the end have the seeker pull one card from the majors as a special message from the universe or a final piece of advice.
