"All of her interpretations are based on the cards lending down-to-earth advice and problem-solving, rather than cosmic predictions."
-Valerie Sim-Behi, Tarot Passages
"In the past, most Tarot instructors have focused on the predictive power of the Tarot. But the truth is, that's only half of what most clients want. They also want to know if they should take a new job or stay with the old, say "yes" or "no" to an offer, move or not move. They want advice specific advice to complement the predictions. Being able to give an advice reading is what Tarot: Your Everyday Guide is all about."
-Carl Llewellyn Weschcke
Reading the Tarot for advice requires a different approach than reading for prediction. In advice reading, you interpret each card in terms of actions you can take in a given situation. Tarot: Your Everyday Guide is especially concerned with practical matters - applying the Tarot's advice to common problems and situations that you or your clients often face. Using the information in this book, you will be able to help yourself or your clients determine the best course of action in business, education, relationships, and more.
You can even use advice readings to augment traditional divination. If a divinatory spread shows trouble ahead, consult the cards for advice on how to avoid the situation or lessen its impact. Every card in the deck is fully explained so you can use the information to add new depth and energy to your readings.
For example, in an advice reading the Two of Wands could mean you should set up your own challenges to work out goals, define issues, and work out compromises. If the King of Cups comes up in an advice reading, it means you must give encouragement, acknowledge the accomplishments of others, give rewards, and let others enjoy the limelight. Alternatively, it could mean you need to seek a mentor who has these qualities. The position of a given card within a spread, and the cards before and after it, will clarify the cards' advice for you.
Whether you're an experienced tarot reader or have never even shuffled the cards before, this unique and practical book will open new doors of understanding and help you integrate the rich symbolism of the tarot into your daily life, and make wise, fulfilling decisions.
