Welcome to Psychic Library's Tarot Room. The tarot cards, when used as a divination tool, serve as windows into the human experience whether they reflect our spiritual side; our past, present and future paths; our own personal characteristics; or the varied individuals with whom we interact in our daily lives.
The pictorial 78-card tarot deck is divided into two sections: the Major Arcana (22 cards) and Minor Arcana (56 cards). The Major Arcana cards depict issues you might encounter on your path throughout life, and the Minor Arcana cards explain life situations and people you might meet during your day-to-day life.
Keep in mind that the impact of each tarot card can vary and its interpretation depends on the spread used, the card placement in the spread, its proximity to the positions of the other cards, the deck preference of the reader and whether the card is in the upright or reverse position.
Interactive Tarot Deck
Psychic Library presents the Interactive Tarot Deck. Our deck provides an interpretation of each card in the upright and reversed positions. Use this quick reference guide when performing card readings with your own tarot deck.
Tarot for Beginners
Many tarot decks are available for purchase. The most popular is the Rider-Waite deck. When selecting, connect intuitively with the deck by examining the imagery or physical cards. Clarify your intentions before purchasing. Decks received as gifts from trusted individuals make excellent starting points.
Tarot Card Spreads
A tarot card spread is the method by which a tarot card reader physically lays out or places the cards on the table and then interprets the card meanings for the querent. Multiple spread types exist across various traditions.
The very popular Celtic Cross spread does not follow one standardized card layout. The basic cross and column diagram is the same, but the order in which the cards are spread in the cross varies greatly. Readers select spreads based on personal methodology and client needs.
