Like astrology, which professes that "as above, so below," the tarot professes that the personal unconscious is structured by primordial images originating from the collective unconscious. Some of these "archetypes" condition one's life, directly influencing attitudes, behaviors, and life choices. Symbols, unlike rational discourse that addresses science and reason, speak to the soul, or what psychologists call the psyche (that is, the sum of conscious and unconscious manifestations). They reveal themselves in dreams, in the imagination expressed in art; they are recognized by the emotions they evoke. A tarot reading, at a specific moment, is like a symbolic mirror reflecting the querent's emotions, challenges, and deep aspirations. These psychic forces find their essence in the archetypes represented by the symbols on the chosen cards.
The two most popular methods for interrogating the Tarot are cross-draw and astrological draw.
➽ The cross draw consists in drawing 4 cards representing the four symbolic points of the cross: the left (you), the right (the situation), the bottom (the obstacle, the past) and the top (the result, the future). The numerological sum of these four blades is a summary of the draw and the ultimate advice of the Tarot.
➽ The astrological draw consists in drawing 12 blades corresponding to the 12 astrological houses. Each drawn slide is interpreted in the context and meaning of the astrological areas: self, having, relationships, family, love, health, marriage and associations, sharing (having in common), traveling , professional life, friends, hardships.
