What happens during a Tarot card reading session.
At the beginning of all tarot reading sessions, the seeker asks questions about things in their/her life. It is important to ask the question clearly, as the cards you select will give you the answer. Many tarot readers can help you frame the question if this is your first time reading a tarot deck.

A tarot reading will reveal a major event or a significant change in your life. Each card in the major arcana deck is numbered from 1 to 21, each with a unique meaning.
Minor Arcana The arcana is the lesser arcana. It consists of four suits that look like normal playing cards. There are four suits: Wands, Pentacles Cups, Cups, and Swords.

What questions can I ask the tarot readers?
As we’ve discussed, it is important to ask the right questions and communicate your needs clearly to receive the answers. Be prepared to ask a few questions before you meet the tarot reader.
Examples of Questions
- What’s the biggest obstacle in my current life?
- What talents do I have that I could use more of?

Every card has a positive side, regardless of its negative or positive sides. Ask your tarot reader if you get a card that looks like the devil.
