Tarot Cards Sections and Single Card Reading Methods by Jackson Swift
The single-card tarot reading is used to provide a concise reading. Some say it lacks the depth of a multi-card reading, but contrary to what others believe, it can actually be more direct to the point. This is applicable if the querant only has one question that needs a definite answer.
One is the common interpretation of the card based on its history. For instance, the Fool usually represents the querent. Each reader will have different interpretations, but if you do your research right, youâll find that there are common trends to how these are interpreted. The key to better understanding tarot card interpretations is knowing the symbols
Another factor to consider when interpreting a single card is by basing it on the background and personality of the querent. This gives your reading a different twist every time.
Two sections:
Major Arcana â These are also known as the trump cards consists of 22 cards. While each deck has its own variation for the names of the trump cards, the most common ones are: The Fool, The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers, The Chariot, Strength, The Hermit, Wheel of Fortune, Justice, The Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, The Devil, The Tower, The Star, The Moon, The Sun, Judgment and The World.
Minor Arcana – Also known as the suits, consists of fifty six cards with four suits of fourteen cards each. Each suite has ten numbered cards plus four court cards (King, Queen, Knight and Jack/Page)
Three sections
1. Trumps
2. Court Cards
3. Pips
Essentially, for this division, the Minor Arcana tarot cards are further subdivided into two sets. The first set is the court cards, which is made up of the King, Queen, Knight and Page. Each court card is assigned an element. Page is associated with Earth, Knight is to air, Queen represents water and King is symbolic of fire.
The Pip cards refer to all the numbered cards. It ranges from Ace to Ten.
Five Sections
1. Trumps
2. Batons
3. Cups
4. Coins
5. Swords
In the five-section division, the Minor Arcana tarot cards are again subdivided, but this time via the suits. These are named differently based on the type of tarot card deck you hold. Like the court cards, each suit is associated with an element.
Coins are also known as pentacles and they represent Earth. Swords are also Epees, which represent air. Cups are sometimes called Chalices and this represents Water. Finally, Batons are also known as Wands, which represents fire.
To properly guide the querent who prefers a single-card spread, let him or her know that when they formulate a question, it should be an open one. A very specific question will be difficult to answer with a single-card tarot spread, especially since there are no surrounding cards to guide the reader to the right interpretation.
