Tarot reading is a form of divination that uses a deck of 78 cards, each of which has a distinct symbol or image. The cards are believed to have originated in the 15th century in northern Italy and are commonly used to gain insight into various aspects of a person’s life, including their past, present, and future. A tarot reader, also called a tarotist, will interpret the cards drawn in a spread (arrangement) to answer a question or provide guidance. The meaning of the cards can vary depending on the context of the question or the spread used, as well as the interpretation of the reader.
