Curiosity is a great cure-all because it generates energy and enthusiasm. Even if you don’t have much control over your present circumstances, you can nevertheless indulge your curiosity with simple tarot readings. The following is a "card search" technique that gives you something to look forward to. As you shuffle your deck, pose the request, "Please show me the next new thing in my life, and the next piece of news coming in." Or, more simply, "What's new, and what's news?" When you have shuffled and cut your deck in your preferred manner, place your deck face up, with the pictures showing. (I find that card search readings are easier when you place the deck face up and start ...
Not long ago, I was meeting with an astrology client who had more questions about other people than she did about herself. A lovely woman, with a Virgo sun, she was perplexed by the actions of other family members, especially a younger Taurus grandchild. "I just want to know all about Taurus," she sighed.

Learning the meanings of tarot cards is not really very hard. The Major Arcana cards are archetypes to which most of us can easily relate. (That is, after all, the nature of archetypes.) The Minor Arcana—at least in decks with illustrated pip cards—are so simple that even children can do it. In fact, children are often better at it than adults, for what could be simpler than to look at a picture and say what is going on it? Unfortunately, many adults are afraid of getting it wrong or looking silly that they lock up and cannot say anything. But that is another topic entirely. By and large, reading the cards is not difficult, except—and this is almost universally agreed ...
