Now back to our reading.
You are comfortable at the table. You have taken a few minutes to get yourself and the sitter into the proper frame of mind. Maybe you have lighted a candle on the table to ask the spirit of the cards for guidance. You have assured the sitter that you are there to look at the positive side of things, and given them a brief overview of the Tarot and the particular deck you will be using. The sitter has mixed the cards and chosen the proper number of cards to be used in the reading.
What next?
Lay out the cards in whichever spread you have chosen to use for the reading. If you are using a spread that involves cards for the past, present, and future, you may choose to only have the past cards turned upwards for the moment, and then turn the other cards over as you come to them.
Take a quiet moment and look over all of the cards to begin to get a general feeling for the theme they are trying to present. Does it involve money? Relationships? If the sitter has given you an indication of what they would like to discuss, try to see how it relates to that subject. If not, try to get an impression of what the cards would like to talk about. Once you have an overall feeling for the theme of the reading, you will begin to determine what each card is saying individually. In most spreads, the position of each card will tell you what area of the reading that card is addressing. Try to imagine how the card fills that particular spot in the reading. Take your time. Think about what you are going to say. Try to let what you say come from your intuition and imagination and not your analytical mind. Make sure it is in a positive light. Then, begin to work through the cards and describe what you see. This part will need to come from your heart, I cannot tell you what to say. Just remember, as long as you are speaking of what the cards say to you and how you feel about them, you cannot be wrong. Always stay positive!
