Personal Life Analysis Reading – Charting Your Progress Through Life

(Please Note That The Full Minor Arcana Images Are At End of Page.  You Will Need To Scroll Down To Access Them)

To Do These Exercise Readings, it is best to have a basic understanding of The Personalities of The Minor Arcana Court Cards  along with the Stories of The Four Suits.  However, anyone can try this.  If you have no knowledge of Tarot and want to do the excercise anyway, just go through the separate sections and you can choose cards by two different methods:

Method 1 – Place the Cursor in the Middle of the Card Sections at each Stage and then close your eyes.  Move the Cursor around, remembering to keep your eyes closed while you ask you subconscious to select the correct cards for you. Then when you feel it is the right time, stop moving the Cursor and Open your Eyes.  The Cursor should be resting on one of the cards.  You can then Click on the Image and Read the Card Description.  Record any aspect of the Card Meaning that is relevant.

Method 2 – Intuitively.  Be Guided by the Imagery and Symbolism of the Card.  Spend some time looking at the Cards in each Section or Stage and go with the Cards that you feel drawn to.  Then Click on the Card to go directly to the Card Meaning.  Record any aspect of the Card Meaning that is relevant.

Please take your time with this Reading Exercise as you will lose the  importance of it if rushed through.

CLICKING ON ANY OF THE IMAGES WILL BRING YOU DIRECTLY TO CARD PAGE. To Find The Reversed Interpretations just Scroll Down the Page of The Upright Interpretations.  It will be Directly Under it.

Using the Four Suits of the Minor Arcana (Scroll to End of Page), both Upright and Reversed, select the Card or Cards that tell the story as per the questions above in relation to your childhood and child personality.   If you have chosen any Reversed Pages, again use the Four Suits both Upright and Reversed to explain what happened or your theory on why the Page Reversed.  You may also use The Court Cards to represent the People and Personalities who influenced these years.
