TAROT CARD READINGS FOR 2004
Know your year
By Ma Prem Usha and Ma Prem Ritambhara
 
The Tarot is an ancient meditative discipline by which one can gain access to higher levels of consciousness. The mystical Tarot cards combine astrology, numerology, symbology and the occult to reveal insights into the past, present and future. The Tarot cards can be used for divination, therapy, mirroring and counselling. A Tarot reading or consultation can be a rewarding, strengthening and transforming experience.

A series of universal images represented in pictures, form a summary of all knowledge, ancient energies, teachings and wisdom of the sages in the Tarot cards.

There are usually 78 cards in the Tarot pack which are divided into two----- the major and minor arcana. The major arcana cards symbolise the elements, planets and zodiac signs. The royalty cards in each of the four suits are the Knight, Queen, Prince and Princess and they symbolise people, characteristics and qualities. The minor arcana are presented in four suits from one to ten and they are Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles which express spiritual, emotional, mental and physical energies in that order. There are special ancient layouts that reveal different aspects in their set placements. Other mysteries are revealed through meditative and intuitive interpretations and readings of the Tarot Cards.
