What Is Tarot Reading
Tarot reading is a form of spiritual guidance and intuitive insight using a special deck of 78 symbolic cards. Each card represents a different aspect of life — emotions, challenges, relationships, career, spiritual path, and more. A tarot reader interprets these cards to offer clarity, direction, and answers to your questions.
📖 Origins & Purpose
-
Originated in the 15th century in Europe as playing cards; evolved into a tool for divination and self-reflection.

Used for guidance, not prediction. It doesn't tell a fixed future, but helps you understand the energies around you and make empowered choices.
