Tarot 101: The Basics

A beginner’s guide to Tarot cards and how to use them

By Tarot.com Staff

Tarot, Insight

 

So you want to explore Tarot, but you don’t know where to begin? You’re not alone. Many Tarot newbies find they are confused and intimidated when first learning the art of Tarot cards. With so many cards featuring such complex illustrations and mysterious interpretations, it’s not uncommon for beginners to feel a little frustrated. How does it work, and what the heck does it all mean? We’re here to help.

What is Tarot?

Like many forms of divination, Tarot cards are a tool to help you tap into your own intuition and the wisdom of the universal energy that guides your life. Tarot, which has origins in 14th century Europe, is not a form of fortune telling. It’s more like a mirror that reflects what is happening in your life at the moment. Tarot is able to tap into hidden thoughts, feelings and truths and bring them to the surface so you can use that information to make decisions about life, love, emotions, health, career and more.

 

About Tarot card decks

Most Tarot card decks consist of 78 Tarot cards broken into a Major Arcana (22 cards) and a Minor Arcana (56 cards). The Major Arcana cards typically represent significant life events on a large scale, while the Minor Arcana cards deal with day-to-day life. The Minor Arcana includes four “suits” that each has a theme. Each suit is numbered one through 10, with four additional Court cards (Page, Knight, Queen and King).

Pentacles — Also referred to as “Disks” or “Coins,” cards in the Pentacles suitpertain to things in the material and physical world. Pentacles cards often indicate money matters, career and success, but they also can indicate levels of emotional and spiritual prosperity, too.

Wands — Sometimes called “Staffs,” the suit of Wands is more spiritual and is used to illustrate the energy of movement, growth and new beginnings. Wands represent ideas and innovation. They are often related to your career or your sense of purpose in the world, but they can deliver strong love messages, too.

Cups — The suit of Cups is connected to our emotions and to our relationships, and to matters of the soul. Cups cards can reveal how we truly feel — and how others truly feel about us. They also speak of our emotional well-being.

Swords — The Swords cards are most associated with conflict and strife, which can refer to internal conflict, as well. Swords cut to the heart of a matter, revealing our greatest challenges. They can tell of illness, heartbreak, war, loss and death, but they can also reveal truths we need to face in order to move forward, which ultimately is a positive thing.

 

About Tarot spreads

Tarot cards are shuffled and laid out in any number of Tarot spreads. The best known spread is the Celtic Cross, but there are countless other Tarot spreads you can choose depending on what type of question you want to ask and how many cards you wish to draw.  If you want to start out very simply, you can draw just one card about a specific person or situation. In fact, your question doesn’t even need to be a question! It’s called an “open reading” when you simply think about a person or situation instead of asking a direct question — the cards will still provide insight.

Each position in a Tarot spread has its own significant meaning, just as every card has its own meaning. For example, your spread may feature positions for “past,” “present” and “future,” or for “possible outcome,” so it’s important to pay attention to the position in which each card turns up. A card speaking of heartbreak would surely mean something different if it turned up in the past instead of the future, right?

 

Laying out your Tarot cards

Once you’ve determined your Tarot spread, it’s customary to shuffle all 78 cards in the Tarot deck and cut the cards as many times as you like while thinking about your question. This allows your energy to interact with the energy of the cards to achieve the best results. It also helps if you do your reading in a peaceful and relaxed environment.

When you are done shuffling and feel the moment is right, speak your question out loud, then pull your first card from anywhere in the deck and lay it on the first position of your spread in the upright position. Do the same for the remaining cards until every card is in place. Now comes the hardest (and most fun!) part — figuring out how to interpret your Tarot reading.

 

How to read Tarot cards

Tarot beginners will likely need to refer to Tarot.com or to a Tarot reference book to find the meaning of each card in their spread. The illustrations on each card depict archetypes of the human experience, but they can also take on personal meaning for you.

Let’s take The Fool card, for example. This card features a happy young man gazing into the distance. He’s about to step off a cliff into the unknown as the Sun rises behind him, and he has a small knapsack of supplies. Now think about how this literal description of The Fool might be translated into an insightful message. The classic interpretation is that of a person at the beginning of something new — perhaps a new relationship or a life-changing adventure — and they should be feeling positive about it because they have everything they need to succeed.

See, doesn’t that make sense? Now you try. Begin by studying each card and the position it is in, write down notes about how the card makes you think and feel based on its imagery and symbolism, then look up the classic meaning and make a note about that, too. Once you have done this for all the cards in your spread, you’ll start to see a story developing — a story that’s all about you!

Spell For Sunday – Resume Spell

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

Resume Spell

This spell is a classic and perfect for anytime you’re looking for a new job. To get the best effect, make sure that your resume is up to date and well formatted and then you need to actually submit your resume! This spell doesn’t work if you don’t apply to jobs. Your spell copy of the resume stays on your altar until you have the new job, after you have the job you can bury it on your property or store it somewhere safe help you keep the job.

You Will Need:

  • Your printed resume
  • A candle
  • Items  that make you think of wealth (I like $2 bills, coins, gold items,  statues of any beings you want to call on, extra candles, patchouli  incense, etc.)
  • Money Oil

Take your printed resume and write what you want out of your new job on the back. Put the resume on your altar. Place a candle on top of the resume and surround it with items that represent wealth to you. If you’ve found that perfect job and you’re trying to get hired somewhere specific, write the name of the company on the top of the paper and then write your name over it.

Put a drop of money oil (you can buy this or find a recipe and make your own) on each of the 4 corners of the resume and 4 drops onto the candle. A green or gold candle works well but white candles will also do. Light the candle, make petitions, pray, or use affirmations as you like. This spell is a good one to tend weekly, daily if you’re in a hurry and need that job asap. To tend the spell, simply add more oil, light the candles, and spend some time praying or making petitions/affirmations.

Moon Phase for Sunday April 27, 2025

The current moon phase for April 27th, 2025 is the New Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is -0.27 days old and 0.35% illuminated with a tilt of -45.139°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 357,265.26 km and the moon sign is Taurus.

The Moon phase for April 27th, 2025 is the New Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is positioned between the Sun and Earth and is 0% illuminated (i.e the moon is not visible to us in the sky).

Due to the alignment of the Sun, the Moon and Earth, the side of the moon that faces Earth is left in complete darkness. In technical terms this is referred to as a conjunction or Syzygy.

Also, during the New Moon phase, the moon rises and sets at around the same time as the Sun. This brings to the moon too close to the glare of the Sun for us to see the moon with the naked eye.

Fun fact: The moon can’t emit its own light, it can only reflect the light from the Sun’s rays. Since there is no sunlight during the New Moon phase there is nothing to reflect, so the moon becomes completely dark and unable to be seen in the sky.

Phase Details

Phase: New Moon

Moon age: -0.27 days

Moon illumination: 0.35%

April 27, 2025

Tomorrow the Moon will be in a New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.

May the next year of your life bring you more love, laughter, joy, happiness, enough income to cover what you have to have along with a little leftover for fun! May it bring you everything you want if it is supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.

As a Taurus born on April 26th, you have a determined and pragmatic personality. From a young age, you tend to behave as if you have seen them all and nothing could surprise you.

But life will offer you occasions of awe and something more. You are witty and charming when you want to impress but can also be quite relaxed and oblivious at other times. Get ready to better understand your horoscope personality below.

 The zodiac sign for April 26 is Taurus.

 Astrological symbol: Bull. This symbolizes stubbornness but also sympathy and affection embodied in a confident and calm behavior. It influences people born between April 20 and May 20 when the Sun is in Taurus, the second zodiac sign.

 The Taurus Constellation visible between +90° to -65° is one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac. Its brightest star is Aldebaran while it covers an area of 797 sq degrees. It is placed between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East.

 The name Taurus comes from the Latin name for Bull. While in Spain the sign for April 26 zodiac sign is called Tauro in France it is called Taureau.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. This means that this sign and Taurus are a straight line across each other on the zodiac wheel and can create an opposition aspect. This suggests determination and passion as well as an interesting cooperation between the two sun signs.

 Modality: Fixed. This shows how much impatience and charm exists in the lives of those born on April 26 and how intellectual they are in general.

 Ruling house: The second house. This house governs all material and non material possessions that are important for an individual. This explains why Taurians are oriented towards gain and a life of pleasures, whether is material or related to human relationships.

 Ruling body: Venus. This celestial body is said to influence appreciation and diligence. It is also relevant from the down to earthiness perspective. Venus is considered the yin side while Mars is the yang side.

 Element: Earth. This element suggests a life lived with all the senses. It is considered to make people born on April 26 down to earth and very polite. Earth also gets new meanings in association with the other elements, modeling things with water and fire and incorporating air.

 Lucky day: Friday. This is a day ruled by Venus, therefore deals with love and imagination. It suggests the loving nature of Taurus natives.

 Lucky numbers: 4, 9, 12, 18, 21.

 Motto: “I own!”

People born on April 26 are known to be incisive, loyal and put a great price on their cohesion and security. They always seem to long for a convenience spot of their own but they also need to be accompanied there by their mates and those close. They hate not to receive the best remedy and they often indulge themselves with what they like. They run away from confusion in any aspect of life.

 Positive Traits: Persistency, pragmatism and loyalty are characteristics anyone should be proud of and so are many of the people born on this day. Taurus people are usually generous and very stable in life. Those born under this sign are also warm hearted with most people they meet, they create instant connections and also very practical in approaching many of the things they have to do in life.

 Negative Traits: These natives can have quite a narrow vision of things sometimes and their bull headedness gets the best of them. This can in turn lead to feeling frustrated and exasperated but also to being all indifferent because of lack of reason. They are evasive at times and prefer to run from obstacles until they are certain they can’t run anymore. They need to learn to accept judgment and temper their reactions in such respects.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on April 26 are passionate and adventurous. They prefer to form serious relationships rather than date around so they do find accomplishment when they settle down. They are attracted to refined but enthusiastic persons, they love to spoil their partner but in the same time they need to feel like they can also depend on the other person, for better or worse. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you give them enough space but also if you maintain your personality and lively spirit. The single Taurus knows how to enjoy their personal time and is not in any hurry to enter a relationship unless they really want to.

 Intuitive and charming it is very difficult for someone to win their heart if they don’t show the slightest interest. They don’t settle for less than what they consider it’s best for them. Otherwise they are aware of their attractiveness and this leads them to a tumultuous love life, falling in and out of love. They are friendly but reserved and their attitude won’t bring many people close to them. They are persistent and courageous in a practical way so they will be a great part of their family team once they decide to settle for someone. They are most compatible with those born on 1st, 4th, 8th, 10th, 13th, 17th, 19th, 22th, 26th, 28th and 31st.

 April 26 Zodiac people are most attracted to the other earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Taurus is permanently seeking for an unpredictable companion who can keep his interest alive and the best to offer them this is the native born under Scorpio. The lover in Taurus is said to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of partnerships between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: The preferred color for Taurus zodiac is green.

The renewal green, the earthy tones of green have a balancing but also stimulating influence on the composed and creative Taurus. These natives need a serene environment that can both relax and energize them.

These challenges could give you a reason not to trust many people, and because of this, you’ll always take it upon yourself to fix problems by yourself. Don’t be afraid to open your heart to people and opportunities. You’re not destined for tragedy! Good things are headed your way.

April 26 Taurus at Their Best: Strong, independent, resilient

April 26 Taurus at Their Worst: Isolated, rigid, stubborn

What to Wear: Anything plush, leather or suede — even if it’s hot outside. Due to the foodie tendencies of this birthday honoree, you might also consider an expandable waistband.

What to Eat: Taurus lives for sensual pleasure, so deliver it with several courses of creamy, rich and savory dishes — and don’t forget the wine!

Who to Invite: Taurus might pretend to not care who comes, but unless you invite everybody on this territorial person’s buddy list, you could be in for some sulking.

Where to Go: Pick a venue that at least looks posh. Taurus always likes to experience a nothing but the best kind of birthday.

IF YOU ARE BORN ON APRIL 26, you have an inquisitive nature and impeccable decision-making skills. You have the ability to make a situation doable that was otherwise impossible and to make an immediate judgment call. You have a serious side that can be shrewd but at the same time, manage to remain sensible.

If today is your birthday, you are likely to have a few skeletons in your closet. Although you may have grown to possess good judgment now, there were times, Taurus, you did not always. As an adult, you have probably developed a serious side that is covered up by your cheerful exterior.

The April 26th birthday personality is not so in a hurry to be coupled up. You are more laid back than other Taurus birthday individuals. You do not feel the need to have a partner to make you feel complete.

You may have many friends who are married but you do not like being dependent on anyone. However, your sex drive is set on high. One partner would be preferable but you are selective about who is giving or getting the key to the bedroom.

The 26th birthday astrology analysis shows that you will have a spiritual relationship with someone you are merely acquainted with. You develop feelings that can run deep and these people become devoted friends.

The only drawback is that this Taurean will withdraw from people who depend on them too much. They want an emotionally secure and balanced relationship and not one that is domineering. Usually, those born on this day have lasting friendships and partnerships.

The birthday horoscope for April 26 shows that you were given responsibility at a young age, therefore, the merge into adulthood was simplified. As a parent who is a Taurus, you likely will raise your children in the same manner.

This could pose some conflict but it is only typical of growing up. When you recall how you behaved as a young adult, you will be sympathetic to your child but still be very stern.

Along with having responsibilities as a youngster, the 26th April birthday personality had preconceived ideals relating to career. You may have realized that money pays the bills but it also affords the luxuries in life. You are no stranger to hard work or long hours of dedication.

The sacrifices made today will be of great significance later in life. However, today, you are likely to display your accomplishments in your home décor or in the car you drive. To someone born on April 26, this is validation of your doggedness.

The April 26th birthday meanings show that you are likely to complain about your neck or back being stiff or tight. This is called tension. This tension is brought on by possibly too many late night meetings or last-minute deadlines.

Sometimes, some things are beyond your control so learn to relax and find a masseuse to come to your office. It will break the monotony of the office routine and perhaps, get you back on track, headache free.

If we were, to sum up the individual who was born on this zodiac birthday April 26, it could be said that this Taurus is a mysterious one. You have good decision-making skills that people rely on. You are meticulous when it comes to selecting a partner to romance. You seem to make an instant connection to those you meet.

Sometimes, you take on your problems and are likely to have side affects because of it. This tension is easily removed by simple relaxation techniques. Your career choice was predetermined at an early age as you gained knowledge of many life’s lessons. Being born on this birthday April 26 implies that you live a comfortable life because you have plotted and carried out those plans.

Moon Alert

Caution! Avoid shopping or important decisions after 12 noon EDT today (9 AM PDT) for the rest of the day. The Moon is in Aries.

The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

** Tread carefully! Arguments with children, as well as arguments with romantic partners and even arguments that arise out of parties and social situations could ruin your day. If possible, don’t even go there. Remember patience is the antidote to anger. Be the adult in the room – stay chill.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

* Power struggles with family members and possibly parents or bosses (anyone in authority) is likely today. This is because people are entrenched in their point of view and not open to compromise. (There are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones.) Be careful.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

* Pay attention to everything you say and do today because this is an accident-prone day for you. Primarily, an accident might occur because you are distracted with arguments or power struggles with someone – very likely a daily acquaintance, sibling or relative. Do what you can to keep the peace.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

** People are volatile today. You might enter into confrontations with others about money, cash flow, earnings or possessions or something to do with shared property. It might even be shared responsibilities. Go gently.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

* Mars is in your sign right now, which is a good thing because this strengthens your confidence and gives you energy. However, today it opposes Pluto, which can bring severe power struggles with others. You might be relentless (even ruthless) to achieve your aims. Don’t do this.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

* Guard against knee-jerk reactions or caustic retorts to others today. Even though you will likely encounter some power struggles with others, resist the urge to be the worst expression of yourself. Why do this? It’s a choice. Why not be the best expression of yourself?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

** This is the classic day for quarrels with friends or groups that might come out of a deep-seated resentment that has been lingering for a while. The thing is that today, if you act only for your own welfare – you will lose. If you can work for your own good as well as the welfare of others – you will win.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

* Avoid arguments and disputes with parents, authority figures, teachers and certainly the police because today things will get nasty in a New York minute. Instead, secure your own position as best as possible. Enlist the aid of others. Resist the temptation to go it alone.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

** Do yourself a favour and avoid controversial subjects like politics and religion because today things will get nasty. But what is to be gained? Why ruin your day? Let this go for your own peace of mind. It’s important for Sagittarians to be optimistic.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

** You are someone who can keep your cool under stress and pressure, which is a valuable asset. Use this talent today if you encounter arguments about shared property, banking issues, earnings, possessions or disputed responsibilities. Don’t get involved. Stay cool.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

* Disagreements with friends and partners can arise today but basically, these are power struggles. You can’t control the other person but you can control your own actions. Make your position clear but don’t get involved to the point where things are nasty. Enlist help, if possible.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

** Issues matter a lot to people today. They’re hot under the collar. Very likely, you can’t change someone else’s thinking. Accept the limitations of what you can do. Furthermore, resist being underhanded, and especially if these battles are work-related.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Anya Taylor-Joy (1996) shares your birthday today. You have bold ideas plus, you’re detail oriented. You are realistic, reliable, careful and independent. You plan ahead. This year is about socializing and enjoying life and your relationships. Your creativity, zest and desire for life are at the pinnacle! Nurture the happiness and beauty that you have within yourself.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It appears that the most relaxing and also efficient way for you to spend this Saturday is through work and although at the beginning you might doubt this solution, a bit of boredom and some new ideas will probably get you moving.

Of course that some natives might be able to be creative and entertain themselves out of actual work.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This Saturday will probably highlight your ability to extinguish a fight but will also show that no matter how much patience you might prove in such situations, your own feelings need to be nurtured and understood too or else you will snap.

This is why today will feel like a hot and cold sequence for most of the hours you are awake.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Prepare to be faced with some fierce opposition at home, perhaps in regard to something you want to do.

At the same time, you are very organized and might manage to pull it off even without involving any family. However, being in a particularly sensitive mood, you will probably prefer to know the support is there for you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You are chasing too much the company of some people who, let’s put it nicely, are not as enticed by you as you are by them.

At the same time, this seems to reveal that you have developed quite a strong dependence on them. Regardless of how many people might point it out, even blatantly, until you figure it out by yourself, nothing will change.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are trying to mentally record, if not in writing some of your plans for the weekend ahead but what you manage to do is seem a complete control freak to everyone else.

Make sure you prioritize important chores and whatever may be essential but when it comes to the rest, just go with the ride. It will take a stone off your chest.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are assuming a title or something that has been wrongly said about you and it is in your favor of course.

And while you are at it, trying to make the best of the situation, a lot of stress will ensue because you will have to play the manipulative part as well. Try to be honest with whomever matters or else you will disappoint.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Some of those around you are quite receptive to your proposals while others will probably doubt you. It is only life and you shouldn’t take it too personally.

This is the only way you will manage to remain sane during this weekend. At the same time, make sure you are on the same page with your partner or with a close friend.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Communication is essential this Saturday but if you are not able to properly articulate how you feel and what you want, you will probably feel like you are stranded on a deserted island.

This will only increase this tendency of isolation you are going through. Give anything you want to say a thought but don’t hesitate too much either.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A bit of personal development shouldn’t sound too bad this Saturday, especially if you manage to involve those dear to you in your plan.

This will probably be the most difficult part of the day and it will probably require a lot of convincing from you. In case things are not looking as you hoped they would, don’t despair and give it another try.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are one of the lucky ones this Saturday as you will probably be able to avoid any real tasks and just go on an about with your own relaxation plans.

But if I were you, I would make sure I at least get involved in one family activity so I don’t risk this getting caught up with me later on. A good day for practical endeavors too.
