In tarot card reading, the Fool is usually considered part of the Major Arcana. This is not true in tarot card games; the Fool’s role in most games is independent of both the plain suit cards and the trump cards, and the card does not belong to either category. As such, most tarot decks originally made for game playing do not assign a number to the Fool indicating its rank in the suit of trumps; it has none. Waite gives the Fool the number 0, but in his book discusses the Fool between Judgment, no. 20, and The World, no. 21. The only traditional game deck that numbers the Fool 0 is the Tarocco Piemontese. Since the 1930s, Tarot Nouveau decks often use a black inverted mullet as the corner index for the Fool. In almost all tarot games, the Fool is one of the most valuable cards.

The Tarot of Marseilles and related decks similarly depict a bearded person wearing what may be a jester’s hat; he always carries a bundle of his belongings on a stick (called a bindle) slung over his back. He appears to be getting chased away by an animal, either a dog or a cat. The animal has torn his pants.

In many esoteric systems of tarot card interpretation, the Fool is interpreted as the protagonist of a story, and the Major Arcana are the path the Fool takes through the great mysteries of life. This path is known traditionally in cartomancy as the “Fool’s Journey”, and is frequently used to introduce the meaning of Major Arcana cards to beginners.In most Central European Tarock games, the Fool, or Sküs, is simply played as the 22nd trump, making it the highest trump in such games. In Königrufen, the Fool can be captured but only if it is played in the same trick with trumps 21 and 1 in which case trump 1 wins; this is called the Emperor’s trick or Fairytale trick. In Hungarian Tarock, the player that loses trump 21 to the Fool traditionally has to wear a silly hat.

This article incorporates text from the public domain 1910 book Pictorial Key to the Tarot by Arthur Edward Waite. Please feel free to update the text.In French suited tarot decks that do not use the traditional emblematic images of Italian suited decks for the suit of trumps, the Fool is typically made up as a jester or bard, reminiscent of the Joker often included with the standard 52-card deck.

In the Rider–Waite deck and other esoteric decks made for cartomancy, the Fool is shown as a young man, walking unknowingly toward the brink of a precipice. In the Rider–Waite Tarot deck, he is also portrayed as having with him a small dog. The Fool holds a white rose (a symbol of freedom from baser desires) in one hand, and in the other a small bundle of possessions, representing untapped collective knowledge. Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, bewrayment. [If the card is] Reversed: Negligence, absence, distribution, carelessness, apathy, nullity, vanity. The 18th-century Piedmontese game of Sedici and its variants treated the Fool as the lowest trump. Unlike most games, the Fool is worth only one point. This is similar to the role of the Miseria trump in Sicilian tarocchi.

In French tarot and Droggn, the Fool is an excuse but in a rare circumstance it will be the highest trump. If the player who holds the Fool has won all the previous tricks, in the last trick the Fool becomes the highest trump.In the decks before Waite–Smith, the Fool is almost always unnumbered. There are a few exceptions: some old decks (including the 15th-century Sola Busca) labelled the card with a 0, and the 18th-century Belgian decks labelled the Fool as XXII. The Fool is almost always completely apart from the sequence of trumps in the historic decks. Still, there is historic precedent for regarding it as the lowest trump and as the highest trump. In most tarot games originating from Italy and France, the Fool has a unique role. In these games, the Fool is sometimes called “the Excuse”. Tarot games are typically trick taking games; playing the Fool card excuses the player from either following suit or playing a trump. At the end of the trick, the player then takes back the Fool and adds it to their own trick pile and (in most games) gives the trick’s winner the least valuable card from that same pile. If there are no cards to give in exchange, the Fool is worth one point less and an extra point is given to the trick-taker. Or, at the end of the hand, it can be awarded to a player or team that has won all the tricks. Usually the Fool can’t be captured but in some games it can be won in the last trick which may yield a scoring bonus. In Troggu, the Fool is the highest trump but if it is the last trump in the player’s possession, the player can elect to throw in another card instead of following suit. Once this occurs, the Fool is no longer a trump but an excuse that must be reserved for the last trick.

In Grosstarock games, of which Danish tarok is the last survivor, the Fool can take the place of a missing card during declarations before play. However, a meld completed using the Fool is worth only half the points compared to a natural meld. Also, when leading a trick the Fool can turn into the weakest card of any suit the player chooses but it will be sent to the player’s trick pile just like an excuse. If, however, the opponents lack the suit named, then they may get the right to set the trick’s suit.

Before and after trick-play of Tarocchini, the Matto (Fool) and the Bégato are called contatori (counters), a limited form of wild cards. They can be used separately or together to fill missing gaps in combinations or extend them but they can’t fill in two consecutive gaps in sequential combinations. They can’t replace the highest trump or kings. Both cards can be used in every sequence but as the Fool can’t be captured while the Magician is vulnerable, the player holding the Magician would want to use it only judiciously.

In the manga JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure tarot cards are used to name the character’s powers, ‘Stands’ one of the Stardust Crusaders, Jean Pierre Polnareff, has a stand named named Silver Chariot, named after the tarot card. Will you be friends forever? Is your BFF really a backstabber? Friends come and go… if you want a fun reading that can show you if your friend is true blue or might disappoint you, consult your Friend or Foe Tarot! Take a few deep breaths in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. As you do this practice, think about your question or what you need guidance with while keeping your mind and heart open to whatever answers may come through the cards. Once you feel ready, open your eyes and shuffle the deck, again thinking about your desired query. Remember, there is no wrong way to shuffle. When they feel sufficiently mixed (I assure you, you will know!), begin dealing out the cards in front of you. The pattern laid out is referred to as a “spread,” and the ways cards are dealt out and how they land influences the meaning of each card in combinations building up to the overall answer to your query. It is beneficial to know which spread you will be working with before beginning to shuffle, but as the answers come through, understand that sometimes we need to draw additional cards for further clarity or begin again with a new question tacking a different perspective.Reversals highlight something to pay attention to and can point to the “opposite” of the card’s upright meaning. In some cases, a reversed card does not change the definition of the overall card significantly, rather it points to a deficit of that energy. In other cases, it can mean something completely different or nothing at all. Because of this potential confusion, I recommend that you focus on the upright meanings of each card and as you get more comfortable with this language, delve into the reversal meanings as you continue your Tarot journey. As you become more seasoned and in tune with your intuition, you will confidently know when a reversal is to be paid attention to or dismissed.

Which spread will you utilize? How deep do you want to go with your answer? The more cards are drawn, the more complex insight will be received. As a rule of thumb, I suggest a three or five-card spread to offer clarity without confusion. I recommend reading each card individually based on its placement in the spread and then seeing how all of the cards blend together to form an overall story imbued with layered meaning. There is a hot debate among the Tarot community as to whether or not to read card reversals. (A reversal is when a card is dealt upside down.)

If you have a more complex question which requires major insight, it’s time to get down to business and utilize the classic Celtic Cross spread which consists of ten cards to reach your final resolution. This well known and widely used spread is comprehensive and complex so I recommend working your way up to this one as you become more comfortable with your skills. Because this spread allows for gathering insight from all different angles, this is a framework that can be used even if you do not have a specific query in mind. Sit back and see what the cards have to say to you right now!

A three-card spread often invokes the past, present, and future energy of your current situation. A five-card spread builds upon this information by pointing out possible obstacles as well as providing additional advice to assist in reaching your resolution.Tarot is definitely having a moment. What was once relegated to the occultic fringes is now raging in the mainstream. But how does Tarot even work? What do the cards mean? And can you do your own reading? We want answers to these questions, and we’re guessing our readers do too. So we’re bringing you a short series on Tarot that will teach you all about the ancient practice, the deck, and how to use the cards to usher in some magic to your life.

The more you do this practice, the easier and more intuitive reading the cards will become for you. Despite this, everyone gets stuck sometimes in a tricky situation or one we feel more personally attached to, and in that case, it will be an aligned time to call in a professional who can offer perspective without personal bias. Keep in mind that the cards provide insight and guidance, but what you do with this information determines your fate.

My favorite relationship spread involves pulling three cards for a quick energetic read on a situation. This one may be utilized for romantic relationships, friendships, work colleagues or any situation around partnership to gain better insight into the energy surrounding your connection. The first card pulled shows your energy in relation to this other person. The second card reflects the energy of the other person in relation to you. The final card represents the combined energy of the partnership. If someone has been acting distant or something feels different, the spread offers information as to what is going on here so you can gain insight before approaching the other person with honest and open communication. (Because nothing progresses if we do not talk to each other and share our feelings and perspectives.)

6. Unconscious – The feelings, beliefs, and values driving the current situation which have yet to be uncovered by the querent. (This card often reveals hidden surprises proving to be quite valuable.)A great place for a beginner to start practicing Tarot spreads is with an easy and direct three or five-card spread. Whatever the theme may be (most revolve around the notions of gaining clarity around work, love, or spiritual purpose), the amount of cards pulled determines the depth of insight to be provided.Pro tip: Refrain from asking the same question over and over again. This is not helpful and will only lead to confusion. If you do not like the answer you receive (and that happens to all of us!), resist the urge to start over and pull fresh cards until a different outcome appears in front of you. (And honestly, it won’t.) A far more beneficial approach is to try to accept the answers provided and understand that the information you are receiving is simply just that: greater insight into the energy of your current situation. It is up to you what you do with it. Nothing is set in stone, and you have the power to plan your next move based on this guided wisdom.9. Hopes and Fears – This card offers insight into how the querent’s outlook is influencing the outcome. This card can be tricky but remember that what we fear and what we hope for are often inextricably linked.Before we get down to it and begin our reading, prepare your space (physically and mentally). Cleanse the energy through the burning of herbs, ringing a bell or chimes, taking a bath, or using your favorite crystals. (My personal favorite is a Selenite wand, an excellent energy refresher that aids in clarity, which can easily and effectively be waved over the space, the cards, and your own body). Once the energy has been cleansed, sit somewhere comfortable where you will not be disturbed during your ritual. Close your eyes, clear out the mental cobwebs, and visualize protective energy surrounding you.

Of course, before giving readings you will need – and this is no small task – to have learnt the cards. Sorry, no shortcuts. Many find that a guidebook is the best place to start: it allows you to learn at your own pace, and is a bit less of a commitment than weeks and weeks of tuition. A good guide to the tarot will help you to become familiar with the overall shape of the deck, the symbols associated with each of the cards, and the commonly held meanings, as well as providing practical advice and tips on spreads, learning techniques, and reading etiquette. There are quite a few excellent books out there, but for the purposes of this article, may we humbly draw your attention to this one. One of the most common questions we get asked is “how do you become a tarot reader?” Over time, we’ve realised that many people ask us this because they’re worried that unless you have some sort of occult pedigree, you’re not going to get very far with it. So, as two entirely non-psychic tarot readers who came to the practice in our late twenties, allow us to be the first to tell you that this is nonsense. The Rider-Waite-Smith isn’t the only option, though. There’s no limit to how many decks of cards you can have – some people prefer just to own one, some people (hi) have a whole shelf full. The most important thing is to find something that speaks to you, whether that’s in terms of its design, its concept, or its creator: there are many decks by BIPOC and queer creators, for example, which reimagine the largely cis, heteronormative, and white imagery of the Rider-Waite-Smith.We made our first foray into tarot several years ago now. We had no idea what learning the tarot would be for us – a party trick? A new hobby? A fun story to tell our friends? Something more? All we knew was that we were fascinated by the idea of these beautifully illustrated cards and their symbolism. We wanted to know how they worked and if we could use them too.

Lastly, but by no means least, learning tarot means learning how to apply your own unique experiences and perspectives to each of the cards. You’ll learn that the Death card connotes change and endings – but what does that bring up for you personally? If you draw The Hermit, ask yourself how you’ve used and benefited from periods of solitude. Over time, you’ll begin to see the cards everywhere: in day-to-day moments, in fragments of poetry or song, in characters from Netflix series. You might find that some cards become imbued with a specific meaning that feels unique to you. That’s not wrong. In fact, it’s the lifeblood of this ancient practice.The earliest tarot decks date back to the fifteenth century, which means there has been plenty of time for innovation, and the card designs have passed through thousands of hands and paintbrushes. The closest thing that exists to a standard tarot deck is the Rider-Waite (or Rider-Waite-Smith, as we prefer to call it, to credit its illustrator Pamela Colman-Smith). The deck actually dates from the turn of the twentieth century so it’s by no means The Original, but it’s the one on which the vast majority of other deck designs and structures are now based. It’s also easy to get hold of and among the more affordable options, so it can be a good starter deck.At its heart, the tarot is a storytelling device, a deck of symbols and narratives that can spark conversations, inspire ideas, and reveal new perspectives. And you don’t need to be psychic to use it: it is a practice that is open to everyone. In this beautifully illustrated guide, tarot readers Jen Cownie and Fiona Lensvelt introduce each of the cards, drawing on literature, pop culture, and their own experiences, and encourage you to add your voice to this centuries-old tradition.Here, Fiona and Jen, now authors of their own guide to the cards, Wild Card: Let The Tarot Tell Your Story, share all there is to know about the art, from how to get started reading tarot cards to which deck to buy.

Within the Minors, you find four suits, just as you would in a regular pack of playing cards, but with the difference that each suit is associated with a different element and aspect of the self. The suits are:Almost needless to say, tarot readings are very intimate and very personal. The most important thing to remember is that a reading is always about the querent, not the tarot reader. This is not the time for showboating! If you’re reading for someone else, you’re in a position of trust. They might share things with you that they’ve not told other people, or that they’ve not even realised about themselves before. Sometimes, it can be a cathartic experience. Sometimes, it can be absolutely hilarious. And sometimes: baffling. If you’re curious to learn tarot, we’d always recommend starting out by reading for yourself or for someone who you know well, and only graduating to readings for strangers once you’re steady on your cartomancy feet.

If you are looking to take that leap into tarot, you might be wondering what to do first. We would highly recommend you start by buying a tarot deck – yes, you can buy your own, and also it can definitely be second hand. There are a lot of decks out there so choosing yours can be more easily said than done.Jen Cownie and Fiona Lensvelt discovered a shared love of tarot in their twenties. Allured by its rich visual symbolism, they quickly became immersed in the stories the tarot contains and the ways in which those stories can help people make sense of the full range of human experience. And they’re not alone.

For us, the magic of the tarot is less about fortune-telling and more about stories. Our practice is entirely secular: we don’t offer readings that have any kind of psychic element to them. We don’t believe that the tarot can tell you exactly what to do – and more importantly, we think this is a good thing. What we’ve come to love about the tarot is the narrative power of the cards, the way that their symbolism invites questions and self-reflection, and so empowers you to make your own decisions about the direction you want your future to take. Fast forward four years, and our collective interest in tarot has only grown. While some tarot card readers might be looking for certainty in uncertain times, and others looking for new ways to self-reflect, either way, tarot cards have become a tool for our time. Meanwhile, the journey of the Major cards contains seismic shifts in life, telling a dramatic story of beginnings and endings, discoveries and losses, stillness and growth. It is often the Major Arcana cards that newcomers to tarot recognise – The Hanged Man, for example, or The Lovers. And when you combine all of these different cards you’ve got all of the ingredients for a thousand unique narratives.When you lay out all of the cards in a tarot deck, you find all of life hidden within them. The tarot is made up of two sections called the Arcanas (the word means “secrets”) – there’s the Major Arcana, which contains 22 cards, and the Minor Arcana, which contains 56.From how to get started to which tarot deck to buy, Jen Cownie and Fiona Lensvelt – tarot readers and authors of Wild Card: Let The Tarot Tell Your Story – share everything you need to know about the tarot.

The interplay between different cards can offer up new perspectives, challenge old and unhelpful ways of thinking, or even just force you to acknowledge things that you’ve been hiding from yourself (thanks, tarot). That doesn’t mean the cards aren’t helpful when it comes to making decisions or thinking about the path ahead. But it does mean that the way they help isn’t quite what popular culture has led us to expect.Readings can be performed for oneself or for others, and they all follow a similar format: the reader shuffles and fans out the deck face down, and then invites the querent (that’s the person being read for, it means “the one who seeks”) to pull a series of cards. The cards are laid out on a flat surface in a specific pattern, known as a spread. Each position in the pattern has a different significance, and the meaning of the card has to be read through that lens: for example, you might pull a card to signify your past, or something that’s holding you back, or a hidden strength. The reader should take the lead in interpreting the cards, building a narrative from the symbols in front of them – but many also invite the querent to participate, asking questions and inviting them to share their reactions to the images in front of them.

If you’re getting started, though, it’s definitely worth seeking out a deck which follows the most common structure: i.e. 78 fully illustrated cards. If something is listed as an oracle deck… that’s a no, because that’s not tarot, no matter how pretty it is. Similarly, if you see the words “pip deck,” save it for later. That is a tarot deck, but it’s one where 56 of the 78 cards aren’t illustrated, and therefore really, really hard to learn from.

The tarot is for everyone, and anyone can learn to read it. It’s for you, too, if you want it to be. As we’ve discovered in our own journey with tarot, there is no one type of person who reads the cards or comes for readings. People of all ages, from all walks of life and with all professional backgrounds have been known to dabble with the deck. For some, reading tarot intersects with other practices: spellcraft, astrology, crystal work, divination. But for many others, it doesn’t. In fact, the way that people use the deck is entirely personal. You are allowed – no, encouraged! – to find your own relationship with the cards, on your own terms.With this Friend or Foe tarot spread, we can find our way through. The cards are a key to our own subconscious and can lead the way for us, helping us to understand these kinds of situations more easily. Kasamba feels like a sigh of relief when you land on their website.

This six card Layout has a few things in common with the Celtic Cross, although it is a few cards less. You begin with the Relationship Foundation card in the middle. Then, lay the Past Influences card beneath that. After that, the Current Influences card on top of the Relationship Foundation card, sideways. Workshop of Bonifacio Bembo (Italian, Cremonese, active ca. 1442–died before 1482).

The Morgan Library & Museum, New York (MS M.630.23) Trump cards are thought to have been invented in Europe, but perhaps not in Italy. The first trump-card game appears to have originated in Germany in the 1420s with a game known as Karnöffel, in which a suit of trump cards could beat only cards of a lower rank. Tarot and Karnöffel developed independently, and all subsequent trump games appear to have derived solely from tarot.Left: Workshop of Bonifacio Bembo (Italian, Cremonese, active ca. 1442–died before 1482).

In The Visconti-Sforza Tarot, the highest trump is the world, followed by the angels. The remaining trump cards, in descending order, are the sun, moon, star, temperance, death, traitor, old man, wheel of fortune, fortitude, chariot, justice, love, pope, emperor, popess, empress, and mountebank, followed by the fool. The Visconti Tarot, the older pack, diverges from the standard: it has as many as six court cards per suit, including a male and female of all ranks. In addition to the more usual trumps, it also includes three theological virtues: faith, hope, and charity. It is uncertain if this pack was uniquely structured or if it represents an earlier stage before the tarots were standardized.

Workshop of Bonifacio Bembo (Italian, Cremonese, active ca. 1442–died before 1482). Love, from The Visconti Tarot, ca. 1450. Made in Milan, Italy. Paper (pasteboard) with opaque paint on tooled gold ground; 7 3/8 x 3 1/2 in. (18.9 x 9 cm). Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut (ITA 109) The other deck was more than likely made for Francesco Sforza, a mercenary commander who served in both Milan and Venice and married the only child of Filippo Maria Visconti. Known as The Visconti-Sforza Tarot, the deck was made sometime shortly after 1450. It is now divided: 26 of the surviving cards are at the Accademia Carrara, Bergamo and 35 are at the Morgan Library & Museum, New York. A third luxury deck, known as The Brambilla Deck (after a former owner), was almost certainly painted for Visconti before his death in 1447 and can be found at the Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan. All three decks are attributed to the workshop of the Milan court painter Bonifacio Bembo. By the middle of the 15th century, the suit symbols of Italian cards were Cups, Swords, Batons, and Coins, and they remain so to this day. The pip cards were conventionally organized, with the repetition of the symbol indicating the value. In tarot cards, however, 21 trump cards, or tarocchi, were added, and these were figural, as in The Courtly Household Cards, with the fool at the bottom leading up to the emperor and pope at the top.

Three luxury tarot decks have survived from the mid-15th century. One of the decks is thought to have been made for Filippo Maria Visconti, the last duke of Milan of that name, prior to his death in 1447. Known as The Visconti Tarot, the deck’s 69 surviving cards are preserved in Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library.

Tarot is a game of trick taking, as the many trump cards clearly indicate, and even though there are many variations (mostly minor), the rules of the game likely have not changed significantly since the 15th century. The present-day association of tarot with fortune-telling and the occult gained currency only in the 19th century and has nothing to do with the medieval tarot cards.If you want a professional to analyse your card and give you accurate readings, then InstaAstro tarot readers should be your top choice.

Suppose, for example, and you may have been experiencing a massive communication gap between you and your friend. In this case, a tarot reader will help formulate questions addressing this problem.

A ‘Friend or Foe’ tarot reading or ‘Know Your Friend’ tarot card reading will tell you some essential details about your friendship. For example, this reading will tell you if your friend is content with you or if your friendship can stand the test of time.In any tarot reading, it is essential for the reader to keep an open mind, avoid negativity, and think happy thoughts, which will make it easier for them to attract positive vibes from the Universe.

If you have been wondering, “Can I trust my friend with my secrets?”, “Is my friend loyal?”, “How can I build a stronger friendship?”, “Is this a life long or temporary friendship?” Then a friendship tarot reading can help you know which aspects of your friendship are perfect and which need improvement. In any tarot reading, the cards can give you answers to all your questions, make you feel safe, and build an environment where you can express your feelings, work on heavy emotions, and chalk out plans for a better future. However, it would be best to remember that tarot cards are not a way to achieve perfect or direct answers. By this, we mean that you should not expect tarot cards to tell you what to do and how to do it directly. Instead, it would be best to focus on perceiving the messages as a guiding light.

As we already have a fair idea, tarot reading is all about energies and vibrations. Therefore, regulating and maintaining a positive attitude, vibration, frequency, or energy while engaging in a tarot card reading session is essential. If you are scratching your head and wondering how to regulate your energy or how to perform a perfect tarot reading from the beginning to the end, then we’re here to help!Tarot reading sessions require the reader to follow certain mandatory conditions. In other words, these rules and regulations are essential, and one should not avoid them at any cost. However, as we will know further about the types of questions one can ask in a friendship tarot reading affair, let’s first learn how to perform a tarot card reading.

Positive Aspects: A single card holds many powers, including the one which makes you aware of the good things in your life. If you constantly worry about everything in life, then your card will highlight the good parts of your life. Furthermore, you’ll also know how to maintain these positive aspects, not lose sight of them, and maintain a healthy environment in your life.

Negative Aspects: Through a one-card tarot reading session, you can determine the things that are bad for you and their impact on your life. Your card will help you discover the harmful factors present in your life, how you can alleviate them, and what you can do to improve your life.In a tarot cards reading session specifically meant for relationships or friendships, it would be best to stick to simple, mutual questions. For example, instead of asking, “Does my friend hate me?” you can ask, “How can I improve my relationship with my friend?”. The significance of using straightforward yet optimistic questions is that tarot card reading is heavily dependent on energy. If you choose to go with negative questions, which can welcome negative energies, your relationship with your friend may sour. So, keep your face toward the sun, and always focus on the positive aspects. Fears: Your fears and worries make you grow weaker each day. Through the messages put forward by your one-card reading, you can know about the things that make you miserable, anxious, and unhappy. In addition, you’ll also realise how you can overcome these fears, maintain good vibes, and keep yourself happy. Keeper of Secrets: Is your friend loyal enough to be trusted with your secrets? Know about it through tarot card readings. A friendship tarot spread will give messages to you regarding the loyalty factor of your friend and whether you should trust them with your secrets.Are you someone who constantly worries about their relationship with their friends? Do you find yourself stressing about your compatibility with your peers? Then tarot can provide you with the answers you seek! In a tarot reading, there are various conditions to be followed, as we know now. Moreover, besides just following the rules set for performing a tarot card reading session, much more must be kept in mind. Therefore, before starting your tarot cards reading affair, you should instil clarity by understanding which types of questions are acceptable and which are not.If you have been anxious about your friendship, and don’t know what to ask in your friendship tarot reading, then here are some questions relating to your friend or foe tarot spread:Meant to be: If you’ve been wondering whether you and your friend are meant to be friends, then you should refer to a tarot reading session for detailed and accurate answers.

A ‘Pick a Tarot Card’, or One-card Reading, is an impactful way of determining the things in store for you. In this unique type of tarot reading, a single card is chosen from the pile of tarot cards and further analysed to receive details and messages.
