Reading Through Imagery

Every tarot card is a picture. Start there. Look at the card as if you've never seen it before and ask:

  • What is happening in this scene?
  • How does the main figure feel?
  • What would I feel if I were in this scene?
  • What is the mood — heavy, light, tense, peaceful?
  • What detail jumps out at me first?

That first impression is data. Don't dismiss it. The subconscious mind processes visual information faster than conscious thought — your gut reaction to an image contains real information about how this card applies to the situation.
