Tarot Long winded example of interpretations by robert
Thank you for replying, you are right I would have to give an example
First I would draw a few cards to get a feel for what the question was
If I pulled up a lot of pentacles it would be a money question, if their were a lot of cups a heart question, if wands a thought or decision, and if swords a conflict with someone
Let's say in this one pentacles came up strongly I would lean to money as the focus
Now if I had several cards like, The Chariot, The Two of Pentacles and The Lovers I would see another pattern one of choice or of balance
At this point I ask the cards to be more specific and sometimes place the cards back in the deck
I draw cards one at a time face down and look at them more carefully
For chuckles say the first card up is the Five of Pentacles this could suggest a narrowing of interpretations to perhaps a financial set back or unemployment
I set this in the center above the new cards
Normally I will ask the cards for a past present and future at this point
If the past was the Nine of Swords I would interpret this as the person feeling unhappy
If the Knight of Swords comes up suddenly in the present I would take it as a sign to take bold action now! If the Seven of Wands came up in the future I would see it as a positive sign of overcoming
I would be thinking at this point that the person needs to change jobs or is thinking about it
Useually at this point I try to ask just what their question was
I will hold back on telling them definitely to change jobs until we have talked and drawn more cards
For example I can ask the cards the result of staying and the results of leaving
I can ask for longer future outcomes
I also look for strong male or female cards appearing as a pattern to indicate another persons influence in their lives
I usually set them aside and do not read them in the traditional ways but simply as males and females
I will sometimes ask for additional definition about them
Now I will group the cards sometimes in clusters as I pull more cards
I also look for cards that repeat from the initial selection
I select all the cards myself from the tingle or feel with the cards face down
I use older decks like the Swiss and Rider that I have used a lot
Does this answer your question of how I interpret them ?
