Having Some Fun With Tarot Card Meanings

By Robert McDonald


There is something in most people's nature that is intrigued by the unknown. We may not really believe another person can predict what will happen in the future or be able to tell all about ourselves by looking into a crystal ball, but it is fun to speculate these things are possible. If you have ever been tempted to stop when you see a roadside sign advertising palm readings or pay to find out what lurks behind a closed curtain at a carnival show, you are not alone. Tarot readings seem somewhat exotic, and most people do not know much about them.

Most people like to believe that the reading of cards is an ancient art, one that goes back to ancient Egypt. This may or may not be true. It probably depends on what you read and who you think is credible. The cards may have a much more recent history than many card readers will lead you to believe. That being said, the cards seem to come in many versions and can be read in just as many different ways.

The Fool for one usually denotes optimism, an adventurous spirit, and trust in the future. If you are a person who enjoys trying new things, acting without planning, or jumping headlong into the unknown and following where it leads you, this card may describe you. It may also be that you are about to meet someone who fits this description.

The card called the Empress is an earth mother type of personality. She is creative and loves nature. Abundance seems to surround her as she takes everything in stride. The Empress is a confident, calm female entity who seems to believe that there are solutions to any problem that arises if you just relax and let things work themselves out.

The Emperor seems like a traditionally masculine figure that represents power, structure, and control. Some fortune tellers may tell you that this is another supremely confident personality. He is not afraid to go against the grain and strike out on his own if he feels strongly that it is the right thing to do. He also seems to find it hard to take advice from others.

Most people would not be surprised to learn that the Hermit card depicts the importance of solitude, peacefulness, and self-analysis. The character on the card is usually an long bearded old man that a lantern that he holds in front of him. You get a sense that he is perfectly happy living a solitary contemplative life.

The Lovers card of course represents connection, sexual energy, collaboration, and unity. When people think of fortune tellers, many imagine them giving advice and information about who is going to come into the subject's life and whether or not he or she can be expected to stay. Not everyone understands that a union is not necessarily between two people attracted to one another.

Readings are probably as individual as the people who sit for them. There are apparently many different versions of the cards and endless different interpretations of those versions. At the very least it can be fun to believe your personality is being revealed and your future unveiled in this interesting and creative way.
