Brief Explanation of Astrology and Tarot

Astrology and tarot are very similar to one another. Here are a few examples as to why you should learn about them.

To know what to expect from a best free tarot readings, you should know what a tarot reading is, and what a tarot reading is not. You should know what a reading can or cannot do for you. People seek tarot readings because they have stumble upon some problems or tests in life that they find difficult to overcome. At this stage they feel that they need some spiritual or divine help. That is the reason they seek the help of a tarot reader. The tarot reader will then take efforts to relieve the pain and distress by offering probable solutions on how to solve a problem, or how to avoid possible problems.

True tarot reader:

A true tarot reader is often endowed with extraordinary abilities that will surprise people. For example, they can foretell certain events with a high degree of accuracy. Or they can see that someone has some problems without being told about these problems. At times, they can even sense the death of the people they know. Tarot readers can't really give details why they can see or hear special visions or voices. They just naturally know how and it is not uncommon for this tarot reading ability to be passed down from generation to generation.

It would be nice if you were able to spot a free tarot reader with the above said characteristics. Best free tarot readings should be able to gain an insight to the problems you are having without being told. Tarot reader should be able to suggest precious suggestion on how to overcome these problems. So best free tarot readings is meant to offer information about the truth. The information on some future events are not destiny, so do not give much weightage. While taking advice from free tarot reader expect honest information and insights into your problems in life. But in no way expect the pious and sacred psychic to solve everything for you. As human beings we all have problems and sufferings in life. Seek the advice from a tarot reader, and gather the courage to overcome the problems.

A psychic occurrence is an event or an example where the knowledge was of a type that could not be explained by the definite rules of the existing sciences. Tarot readings refer to a person or their aptitude and skill to distinguish things or experiences that are concealed from the normal senses. Best free tarot readings have a hold over popular imagination ever since time immemorial. They used to come in the attire of seers and prophets in the past. The most broadly identified method of fortune telling at this time was astrology. There were also some prophets or forecasters who could have direct apprehensions of the future. Down the line the part of the tarot reader and their position in the society has changed. There are many best free tarot readings with high vibrational levels who can guide you with information about your future and help you achieve your goals. Tarot reader should be honest and sincere that you can trust and use their information as guidance.

According to the Chinese system of astrology, there are rules based on which classifications are made.
The year of the birth, for instance, does not merely indicate the age of a person in the Chinese astrology but determines the phase of time to which the individual belongs.
These phases are demarcated again with the help of the guidelines and rules of astrology on which the Chinese system is based. The phase belongs to a sixty year old cycle of time.

The years, in the Chinese system of astrology are classified through three systems that exist.
They are- the heavenly stems,
the twelve earthly branches and
the twelve animals.

These systems of classifying years are so old that it is not possible to trace back the exact origin of these. They have been passed down the generations as traditions are. There are stories and folklore that exist, but there is no recorded evidence of when exactly these systems were formed except that they are from somewhere in the 2nd century BC; or for that matter, how they were formed. So far, it is only known that Chinese astrology is based on the traditional astronomy and calendars. It differs from the other systems of astrology in that it does employ the calculations depending upon the positions of the celestial bodies (the sun, the moon and the other planets) as the other systems do. Instead, the methodology can be related to the Chinese philosophy, which includes the theory of three harmony, heaven, earth, and water. Chinese philosophy also includes various principles such as the wu xing teachings, the theory of yin and yang, astronomy and the five planet system. Apart from this, there are the ten celestial stems, the earthly branches, and the lunisolar calendar.

In Chinese astrology, the five planet system included
Venus, symbol for Metal;
Jupiter, symbol for wood;
Mercury, symbol for water;
Mars, symbol for fire; and
Saturn, symbol for earth.

Therefore, according to the Chinese system of astrology, the destiny or the fate of an individual can be determined with the help of these.
There is a method known as the Zi Wei Dou Shu, In this, the fate of the individual is determined through one’s date of birth, season of birth, and hours of the birth. It is a highly elaborate method, and is used even today in the Chinese astrology in order to compute one’s fortune.

The zodiac of twelve animal signs is meant to represent twelve different types of personality. The Chinese Zodiac begins in the
Rat sign, moving on to the
Ox,
Tiger,
Rabbit,
Dragon,
Snake,
Horse Ram,
Monkey,
Rooster,
Dog and ending with
Pig.

These signs, as against the common misconception are assigned not only by the year, but also by the month, the day and the hours of a day. The combination of these gives an exact result. The Chinese system of astrology also differs a lot from the western science of astrology and the other South East Asian, the Hindu system and study of astrology.

Tarot - Celtic Cross

In Tarot there are very many Card Spreads that are used and indeed many variations on those spreads and also as to how each individual tarot reader expresses his or hers unique talent so nothing is set in stone and is all open to interpretation.

This article highlights one spread which is very popular known as the Celtic Cross.

Some people say that this card spread is complicated but personally I like it and have found it very easy to work with. Indeed I get the impression that I may have used this spread in times gone by as it comes very naturally to me.

But then just because it suits me it might not suit others after all I do come from a strong Celtic background. My surname derives from the welsh Llewellyn and that is a strong celtic name. A name that rings from the days of Merlin and the picture of the Castle that goes with this article is indicative of those past times.

Dealing with the Celtic Cross spread the cards are laid out one at a time in a set sequence.

When doing a Tarot reading many readers like to choose and have a card to represent the Querent (the questioner for whom they are doing the reading for).

In a Celtic cross the first card which is often called the significator will represent the questioner.

There is some flexibility in the style depending on the individual reader and the choice or decision depends on what one is happy with.

Tarot readers will use what works for them best but they also need to know why they have made that choice and usually this will be based on past experience in real life readings.

In very broad terms the Celtic cross spread would be along the following lines:-

The first card is placed in the middle of the table and represents the person who is having the reading (the querent or questioner).

The second is placed on top and slightly to the side and represents’ the querent’s present situation,

The third card is placed side ways over the other two and represents what is causing or influencing the present situation.

The fourth card represents the distant past and this card is usually placed below the first three cards at say 6pm on a clock face.

From here on in the cards are now placed in an anticlockwise fashion

The fifth card represents the recent past which would have led the client to where they are today. This card is usually placed at say 9pm on a clock face.

The sixth card is the goal or aim or put it another way the best result or achievement that the questioner could hope for in the current circumstances this card is placed at 12pm on the clock face.

The seventh card is the immediate future and is but one step on the clients path it does not represent or signify the outcome of current events and this card is placed at 3pm on the clock face.

A side vertical column is now formed on the right hand side of the spread consisting of the next four cards.

The eighth card represents the actual person having the reading (the questioner) and how they are dealing with or approaching the current situation and this is placed as the first card in the vertical column

The ninth card represents the surroundings and or people or events which will arise in the life of the client in the near future and this is the second card in the vertical column.

The tenth card represents the client’s hopes and fears.

It cpuld be the best or the worst. It can also represent aspiration or a warning. This is the third card in the vertical column.

The eleventh and final card is the final outcome.

It must, of course, be read in conjunction with the other cards in the spread as undeed all the cards influence the reading.

Some readers may not place the cards in the same manner for example some might place card 4 at 3pm and work round the clock face in an anticockwse direction.from there.

I prefer that the fourth card follows down from card three and that way by the time you get to card seven you are ready for the vertical column.

Also some readers may only use ten cards as opposed to the eleven that I have described here. They would perhaps not include a card for the distant past.
