Taromancy is the art of divination through the use of Tarot cards. Also known considered to be Cartomancy.
Tarot is a set of seventy-eight cards, each featuring different symbolic pictures. A standard Tarot deck is made up of 22 cards called the major arcana and four suits of 14 cards - similar to playing cards - called the minor arcana.
Now to clear up some cunfusion about Tarot and Oracle Cards. Most recently, the use of tarot for divination, or as a store of symbolism, has inspired the creation of Oracle Card Decks. These are card decks for inspiration or divination containg images of angels, faeries, goddesses, totems, etc. Although Obviously influenced by divinatory tarot, they do not follow the traditional structure. They often lack any suits or numbered cards, and the set of cards differes from the conventional major arcana.
a collaboration between @d4rkpluto,@mystiicwinter,@lovelycielo,@ilyneptune ; this thought out collaboration account was brought up by @ilyneptune, and we use the spare account of @d4rkpluto, each pile is written individually! some of us used tarot and some of us didnt; take a deep breath and don’t choose more than two piles and have a great reading!
PILEONE
❦when a tarot reader is describing you to someone who wants to know about you, they’ll say that you’re someone who is very hard-working and someone who is very great and genuine to their friends, especially to the ones close to them. you treat everyone with fairness and justice. you have a very shiny and bright aura and are the type to lighten up anyone’s day with your mere presence.
❦however,you’re someone who likes to avoid confrontation; being confronted makes you anxious and dont like it when your friends are fighting. but you’re most likely not going to say anything or would say something random to diver the attention. a tarot reader would say you’re someone who is very cute and have a spunk to you, someone who likes to have a lot of fun.
❦on one hand, the tarot reader would say that you are someone who is respected and well-liked. they will say that you’re someone who likes cute accessories too, you like to wear accessories on your head; your style can change from lightcore to darkcore, very versatile and adaptable. on the other hand, a great thing about you is that you have limits, you know when to stop whenever you’re pushing yourself.
❦howbeit,many of you might be people who are easily taken advantage of. because of your very kind nature and innocence to majority of the dangers in the world. a tarot reader would also say that you’re someone who has more female friends than male friends, with women, you feel more safe and see some of your female friends as family. there’s also a group of friends you tell everything too, things you wouldnt dare speak about to others.
❦lastly, what they would say overall is that you are a really sweet person, someone who likes to help and cheer others up. you’re someone who is always learning and having fun. majority of you are someone who has a good relationship with their parents, and most likely admire them. plus, you’re someone who might like the colour white and black. or you like colours that contrast each other; from this pile im getting mars, leo, saturn, aquarius, uranus and pluto influence along with some venus.

PILE 02 MISA AMANE
hello pile 02, welcome to your reading. so the first thing that a tarot reader would tell your person is that you are very hardworking, disciplined and mature. I am getting strong hardworking earthy energy here so other tarot readers would definitely pick that up. you are someone who holds material possessions really close to you and you’re someone who wants to live lavishly and works hard to achieve it. they’d also mention ‘family’ to your person. maybe you want to have a family in the future or family is just important to you. a lot of you that chose this pile are family-oriented. the queen/king of pentacles could come up in the readings a lot to describe you too, they’d say you embody the queen/king of pentacles energy. some of the keywords they’d say to describe you are confident, practical, generous, business-minded, sensual and warm. I’m getting capricorn, taurus, gemini and scorpio energy here. they’d say you have a business of your own or you are studying it, you may have a job related to it. maybe a job related to money like banking. you are someone highly intellectual, witty, sociable. communication is important to you. perhaps you write a lot or do lots of public speaking or teaching. they’d say you may appear cold or detached at times but that’s because you have been hurt in the past. you have a hard time trusting people and you value honesty. you may not forgive others that have done you wrong very easily because you are someone who clearly knows what’s right and wrong and expect people to know that too. you may not understand why people hurt you or hurt others because you have always been careful of not doing so. you have a strong sense of justice and hate seeing other people being wronged or hurt, it angers you. you may have grown up/matured way too early. they’d say that you may like to give to charity and help communities and that you have a big heart. you may have a soft spot for children or animals or feel connected to them in a way. they’d also say you are someone selfless and knows how to take care of yourself and others and is an excellent cook. they’d also say that you are someone who is very respected in your field/friend circle/community and that people feel good towards you. you have a great reputation and may have eyes on you a lot.

Pile 3 ♡⁎*+
A tarot reader would mainly talk about your personality and include some info on your friendships, even you as a lover. They would be impressed by the spread, saying you have a great potential and another card indicates you actually becoming your “desired self”. This reader might even warn the person asking about you that you have an intimidating, strong personality, specifically hearing “don’t fear the fire but don’t burn yourself either”. It means that person has no reason to be afraid of approaching you but doing you wrong would end up with consequences. Someone that has a lot to say and a lot to teach, excels in one particular field. A lot on your mind but you won’t give anything away about what is keeping you at night. Rather secretive and reserved in the emotional area. Your person will be warned by the power of your words and your tendency to make them sound harsher than what you intended.
Many talks of your friends for some reason, maybe the people that enter your life must get along with them. The lovers right next to the two of swords makes me believe you are an all or nothing person (feelinge wise) and you don’t let people feel your love unless you truly care about them. They will also mention your responsible nature and your dislike towards unreliable or people that can’t be trusted. Betrayal seems disgusting for you and once hurt by someone, low chances they will earn your forgiveness entirely.
Best performed on a New Moon or Full Moon, or any time you are checking in with yourself and your practice. All answers are designed to be relevent within the span of one moon cycle.
1. Full Moon- What Gives You Power? What fills your cup, gives you energy, and keeps you moving forward? What do we want to make sure we keep around and nurture? Where can we draw strength from during this time?
2. Waning Moon- What Needs Letting Go? What are we carrying that no longer serves us? What can we release to make room for new things? What are we transitioning out of?
3. New Moon- What Is Ready To Begin? Every moment is a new beginning for something. What is waiting to break the surface? What needs a fresh start? What have you been putting off that you are now ready for? What new energy is coming into your life?
4. Waxing Moon- What Can You Develop? What can you best manifest during this time? What needs your attention in order to grow? What things are headed your way, but need a little help reaching their full potential?
Hello Tarot Friends! So I’ve had some lovely opportunities to teach tarot over on discord, and one of the questions I notice most often is how to read court cards. While I do agree that they can be a bit trickier than the rest of the deck, they aren’t too bad if you think of them as one of three possibilities. This is how I understand and read with court cards. I hope this little info graph can help someone out at least a little! Maybe a little later on I will create something that goes into each court card more in depth.
Also, please keep in mind that this is only my own personal reading preference for court cards. Their are so many different possibilities. If you read them a different way and that’s working for you, then that’s perfectly ok.
It’s been a while since i last used my tarot deck, so i started off my giving it a cleanse with incense, then a good shuffle until i felt it was ready. I planned out what i wanted to ask and had them displayed on my phone so i wouldn’t forget. I shuffled a bit more while overlooking my questions to make sure the intention was there to pull for the spread i created.
Two cards actually jumped out separately as i was shuffling, so i used those for 1 and 2. Again, another two cards jumped out but they were sticking together, so i used both of them for 3. Whether this is because my deck was really pushing for me to pick those cards, or my bad shuffling skills, im not too sure, but they did end up fitting with the theme of the reading.
1. Theme of the new year: THREE OF SWORDS
You’ll be grieving over the loss of friendships this year. It’ll probably be a gradual thing, and you’ll be quite lonely and hurt. With time you’ll feel better as long as you accept the pain and release your emotions, rather than keep it in.
2. Challenges I will face in the new year: FIVE OF SWORDS
Being in danger of losing your friendships and reputation because of self interest. You favouring winning and being right, no matter the costs, which will cause people to push away from you. People may start resenting your success rather than acknowledge it.
3. How to overcome these challenges: KING OF SWORDS (rev) + QUEEN OF WANDS
Be cunning. You know what people like to hear, and you’re smart enough to use that in your favour to keep your friendships going.
Be independent and passionate. This is what people will like about you. Naturally you are a leader, so step up to move off the path you’re going down. It’ll attract them to you, as long as you radiate positivity and confidence without holding back.
(Together, I’m getting a “i know you’re an introvert, but you’re smart and understand people, so confidence? fake it till you make it” vibe)
4. What is my goal for the new year: QUEEN OF CUPS
Reaching a state of emotional stability. Be empathetic to troubles your friends are going through, but with healthy boundaries. Your intuition will be right, so let it guide you in decision making. Don’t overthink it, just let it flow and you’ll be okay.
5. How to achieve this goal: EIGHT OF CUPS (rev)
Reach your goal by reevaluating your life, where you are and where you’re going. Try looking for a deeper connection with your life purpose rather than being material. Question what makes you happy. Don’t neglect your own needs.
6. What I will gain: THREE OF WANDS
Occupational opportunities will become available to you in your chosen work field. Consider every option. You have a lot of unique skills and information, so take those into consideration while looking for work too.
7. What I will lose: THE TOWER (rev)
You’ll lose a lot (refer to 2). Not a devastating amount, still more than you’re comfortable with though. Be prepared to take preventative measures to soften the blow (refer to 3), but remember that resisting change and prolonging a negative situation doesn’t help. Take risks to change things fast, and if it doesn’t work then it doesn’t work.
I found these meanings through interpretation of the images, then following up with the guidebook. As you can probably tell by now… 2022 doesnt look great for me which is just awesome.I did see this coming though, as my relationships with my friends have been dwindling.

Here’s the explanation for fellow baby witches
Incense has cleansing properties as an air element, and is a spiritual form of cleansing to remove negativity. Meanwhile, shuffling the deck is a physical cleansing form, and removes traces of the last reading.
When a card ‘jumps’ out of your deck while you’re shuffling, it’s generally considered a sign that your deck really wants you to pick that card. When cards stick together, the idea is that both cards will explain the meaning of whatever question asked. That’s why i used two cards for question 3 instead of splitting it.
When interpreting tarot, you should try 'guessing’ what the card means before looking up the actual meaning. This will help you learn the cards by the names and designs, and will improve your intuition. Reversed cards tend to have the opposite meaning, but in some cases (like the tower), it can mean a diminished form of the upright meaning.
This reading was done during a Capricorn moon, a good time for creating structure and plans, which happened to correlate with the start of the new year when i actually did this reading (2nd of Jan, 2022). Things that commence on a Capricorn moon also generally go to plan, so i believe my reading will be accurate for this year (sadly). On the other hand, it was during a dark moon where spiritual energy is lacking, so maybe it’s an inaccurate reading.

Other info
I chose a 7 card format opposed to a monthly format, simply because i want to do a Year Ahead Birthday spread later on using the 12 months, and i’m born in January so having both would be counterproductive for me.
what do you need to heal from, forgive, or move forward from?
disclaimer: PLEASE TAKE WHAT RESONATES, AND LEAVE WHAT DOESN’T. I believe that every card is pulled for a reason, however this is my personal interpretation of them and it may not be fully resonating and accurate for every person.
PILE ONE (left)
you’ve likely experienced some kind of missed opportunity. you may have started to pursue something that inspires you or you’re passionate about - it could have even been a new person there was some kind of spark with - but it didn’t work out the way you had hoped. this loss, failure or disappointment could have left you feeling stuck, unenthusiastic and unmotivated. remember that everything happens for a reason, and what is truely meant for you will not pass you by. if we didn’t experience some negative situations we wouldn’t be able to learn and grow. don’t allow obstacles and roadblocks to discourage you. continue to trust yourself and follow your heart, because the right opportunity will be coming towards you and you’re getting closer to being aligned with it.
PILE TWO (middle)
recently you may have been feeling like you have a million things to do. you’re world is surrounded in chaotic, busy energy. maybe you have a new job or responsibility, or have a hobby or something on the side that is taking some of your time and energy. you’re being guided to slow down and heal your mind from this overwhelming stressful energy. you are probably adapting and managing your situation effectively, but it also may be starting to control you in a way. it may be a lot more beneficial for you to prioritise or focus on one thing at a time. it’s time to move on from this stage and start to find more balance in your life.
PILE THREE (right)
either there is a person in your life who is quite emotionally immature and childish, but is sensitive and gentle in a way, and you’re being asked to let them go and move on from them. maybe they were toxic or you are no longer benefiting from having them in your life. or, you may have worn your heart on your sleeve in the past and even could have been too trusting or saw things through rose tinted glasses in a way. and the universe may be reminding you be realistic. still believe anything is possible, but also be wise and use lessons you have learnt to not allow yourself to be deceived by anything.
THANK YOU!! please like and reblog if anything resonated!! <3
