Mastering the Tarot Suits and Spreads

The Tarot deck contains 78 cards, each with a different interpretation depending on their position in various spreads. People read Tarot cards for various reasons but the most common is the desire to probe their own subconscious by exploring archetypes and symbols through the ancient art of storytelling. Tarot readings can be an entertaining way to explore the nuances of life dilemmas (but should never replace professional help when it is required).

This course explains how to use different spreads to provide perspective on life questions as Tarot cards offer an intriguing way to explore the subconscious through narratives, myths and their symbols. We then examine the Minor Arcana and the four Tarot suits (staves, cups, swords and pentacles, which correspond to clubs, hearts, spades and diamonds in a deck of playing cards). We explain what each card means individually and what the numbers one to eight mean to each of them. Each of the 56 cards of the Minor Arcana represent certain aspects of life and their interpretation is subjective but often offers psychological insights.

We identify the unique characteristics of each Tarot suit before delving into their specific meanings informed by archetypes from myth and legend. Tarot can offer a rewarding and beguiling way to explore your own subconscious via symbolism and storytelling. Enrol in this course to learn how the suits of the Minor Arcana work and find a spread that best suits your purpose.
