How tarot cards are read

Each card is read on three axes: its arcana (Major for life themes, Minor for everyday affairs), its suit (Cups for emotions, Pentacles for money and work, Swords for conflict and thought, Wands for passion and action) and its position in the spread. Reversal adds a fourth axis: inward, delayed or excessive energy. Full-page meanings for all 78 cards are free on this site.
