TODAY’S TEACHING:
What is Tarot Reading?

Tarot reading is the art of using a precise spread (or arrangement) of Tarot cards to intuit knowledge and direction. Contrary to common perception, Tarot readings are not only for the psychically gifted, and the cards do not simply tell your future. The purpose of the cards is to reveal the deepest truths of your higher self. In other words, the cards give you a more sophisticated understanding of what you already know deep inside. Although we don't know where the Tarot came from, we do have historical records of its use in Europe as early as the fourteenth century. Since the start of the seventeenth century, the Tarot has been utilized as an oracle in its most basic configuration.

The Meaning Of Tarot:

There are 22 cards of the Major Arcana, which divulge greater secrets, and 56 cards of the Minor Arcana, which divulge lesser secrets and are further divided into four suits. The suits of the Minor Arcana include Wands, Swords, Cups, and Pentacles. The fourteen cards in each suit are numbered Ace through Ten, plus the Court Cards: Page (Princess), Knight (Prince), Queen, and King. Decks can vary some in naming. The suits and the individual cards are not always called the same thing, but their core meanings are fairly universal. For example, in some decks, the Knight equates to the King and not the Prince.

Most decks come with a booklet you can use to get familiar with its specifics. The Minor Arcana of the Tarot symbolize daily aspects of life, giving insight into our challenges, talents, opportunities, and experience of ups and downs. Each suit represents an element: Wands are Fire, Swords are Air, Cups are Water, and Pentacles are Earth. The suits can reflect attitude and temperament, such as a fiery person or someone who is “up in the air” or “down to earth.” Determining a card’s significance is dependent upon the question, the reader, the person receiving the reading, and the placement of other cards in the spread. The Major Arcana are numbered 0 through 21, starting with The Fool, and ending with The World. These cards align with the milestones of life’s story or The Hero’s Journey which can be explored further with Joseph Campbell’s book “The Hero With a Thousand Faces.” In this sense, the cards of the Major Arcana represent the 22 inevitable phases or passages of every journey, which we’ll all encounter during our lives (not necessarily in this order). It’s also possible for these phases to repeat themselves, and recur multiple times throughout one’s life, creating a cyclical nature in which there is no true beginning or end.

Tarot Spreads:

There are many types of Tarot spreads. Perhaps the most classic is an eleven-card layout called The Celtic Cross (11 cards including the Significator). There is also a Tree of Life spread, a Planetary spread, the Tetraktys spread, and the Pentagram spread, among many, many others. Some readers like to do simpler, smaller spreads using only three cards. A three-card spread can have many interpretations in and of itself, such as Past-Present-Future, Mind-Body-Spirit, or Situation-Action-Outcome. The variation of three-card spreads is virtually endless.

About: If you want to find clarity, make better decisions, and improve your overall life with the magical use of tarot reading then this is designed just for you...

Tarot reading has been seen as one of the most important divination tools since ancient times. Interpreting the cards in a Tarot deck can help gain insight into both the present and the past and the future.

All of us tend to focus on our negatives and our struggles more than looking at the positives and understanding them. The tarot card readings help you in gaining a deeper understanding and insight to their experiences. Not only that, it also helps the individuals to ease their anxiety and worry, as well as the fear they feel for the uncertain future.

By being calm and peaceful, it also helps us get over our struggles and the obstacles we face in life. Another thing tarot card reading does is that it helps us gain a better clarity of what we want in our lives. Our perspectives become more clearer, and we develop a better understanding and keen sense of knowledge as well.

Each of us holds gifts deep within and, with tarot, we have the power to unlock those gifts and make transformative discoveries.

POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY

Belize’s decades-long battle against malaria has been won, with the World Health Organization (WHO) certifying the Latin American country malaria-free.

The WHO attributed Belize’s success to strong surveillance of malaria, good access to diagnosis, and effective control methods, such as insecticide-treated mosquito nets. Trained community health workers have also played a vital role in diagnosis and treatment, it said.

DID YOU KNOW?

Tarot images can be used for meditation. Just choose a card you are drawn to, then close your eyes and imagine the card expanding to the size of a doorway, then visualise yourself stepping into the card, where you can explore the images and the energy.

What is Marichi's Pose?

Marichi's pose, or Marichyasana, is a pose dedicated to the sage, Marichi, who was the son of Hinduism's creator god, Brahma.

Instructions

• Sit with your legs outstretched, then exhale and bend your left knee. Place your left foot near your left buttock.

• Inhale and reach your left arm around your left leg. Clasp your hands behind your back.

• Exhale and twist to the left, then fold forward.
