TAROT CARDS :
The tarot is most commonly viewed as a tool for divination. A traditional tarot reading involves a seeker - someone who is looking for answers to personal questions - and a reader - someone who knows how to interpret the cards. After the seeker has shuffled and cut the deck, the reader lays out the chosen cards in a pattern called a spread. Each position in the spread has a meaning, and each card has a meaning as well. The reader combines these two meanings to shed light on the seeker's question.
How to read Tarot Cards. :

Make a commitment to yourself to keep it simple. Stick to simple spreads, simple meanings and simple techniques. You’ll find your confidence grows immensely when you keep it simple.
2. Create a Personal Connection with the Tarot

Use simple 1-3 card Tarot spreads. You’ll be pleasantly surprised about how much insight you can gain from even just a 1-card reading.
4. Draw a Tarot Card a Day

What you are doing is connecting with your intuitive read of the card – which is often way more powerful than regurgitating book meanings!
