Like Labyrinthos, you can choose to draw digital cards or use a physical deck. If you choose the latter, it counts down the time you should take to shuffle your cards and concentrate on the question you're trying to ask—a nice feature that Labyrinthos is missing.
Once you've found yourself comfortable with the meanings of the classical tarot cards, you might want to branch out into something more specific. Though Gabriela Herstik doesn't typically use tarot apps, she was drawn to this one. The card art is beautiful and the readings teach you what it means when each goddess appears. While obviously still digital, it makes you click the deck to shuffle, cut, and draw, which should help you build a routine for when you decide to pick up physical cards.
There are also spoken directions to walk you through the entire process. You can even choose which altar cloth you'd like your cards to be drawn upon, which is a nice touch to get you into the spirit. There is no shortage of tarot apps out there, but I think the three mentioned above are the best to start with.
They're designed in a way that makes learning the tarot the same as getting a reading: calming, spiritual, and fun. The others tend to be messy or cluttered with ads. Daily Tarot Plus iOS has a nice interface and design, with really cool card art and simple explanations. It would have been a pick, but the amount of ads makes it incredibly frustrating to use. You shouldn't have your concentration broken when you're trying to do a reading.
Trusted Tarot iOS and Android also offers easy to understand explanations for every card you draw. While the ads aren't as intense as Tarot Plus, they still interfere with the experience. You can remove them by paying a monthly subscription fee, but with the free apps mentioned above or the one-time payment for Dark Goddess, I don't think there's a need to pay this much for a just OK app. Like Trusted Tarot, you can remove the ads for a payment, but I don't think the experience is worth it.
You can learn tarot on your phone without having to buy anything, but if you want to do readings more often, or for others, I strongly recommend getting a physical deck so you can get used to the feel of the cards and see the images up close. If you can find a metaphysical shop in your area, they will probably have some options, but you should start with a classic: the Rider-Waite deck.
If you do it in the morning, you can keep it in mind as you go through your day. The former is where three cards are drawn from the deck to represent the past, present, and future or mind, body, and spirit of the person being read. Howe says you can even up the ante to a six-card pull, with one card representing each area.
The Celtic Cross, though slightly more complicated, is also a good starting point. Personally, I use a modified version of the Celtic Cross where I use the format, but I like to be loose with the positions because I want the cards to be whatever they want to be.
Sometimes, by the end of the reading, it looks totally different. One of the simplest readings you can use to familiarize yourself with the cards is the past, present, future spread. Take the top card from your shuffled deck, and reveal them one by one, left to right. Before delving into the individual card meanings, scan your cards and absorb what your reactions to the images are. Start to consider things like emotions, feelings, objects and symbols, and color - if there are any.
What is your immediate reaction to these things? Be aware of this as you continue through the spread. Usually this can come with the tarot deck that you purchased, or you can use online resources to help you find meanings. As you develop your reading skills, you can learn to let go of these resources and rely more on your intuition.
But having somewhere to start is a good thing. See if you can tell a story with the cards that are in front of you. Much of tarot reading has to do with interpreting a random selection of events and giving them meaning. After you allow your reading to process, be grateful, clear your cards, and make sure to store it in safe and secure location.
While the Major Arcana cards e. These are called the court cards. If these show up, relate them to someone with that type of personality. Each suit of the Minor Arcana has those four court cards plus cards numbered ace to In general, they show a progression: The Ace of Wands, for example, can represent the exciting start to a new project, while the 10 of Wands can appear when you feel overwhelmed with work.
Most tarot decks come with a booklet or guidebook detailing the symbology of each card. But if you do want to learn the cards more deeply, New York City—based tarot reader Angela Lucy recommends performing a self-guided meditation with each one. Set the mood with fancy candles—whatever makes your space feel relaxed. Form your question. Shuffle the cards while thinking about your question or listening to your friend explain theirs. Tarot cards are often larger than playing cards and therefore a little trickier to shuffle , so you may as well take your time.
