A Horoscope Reading Doesn’t Have to Always be Serious, It Can Be FUN Too!
Written by psychiclineadmin on March 31, 2009
I love to read the horoscopes in magazines. I enjoy reading my own and my boyfriend’s. Since they’re not specifically written for me, I don’t put too much stock in them, but they’re really fun, and more often than not, they’re spot on.
As soon as my Cosmopolitan magazine comes in the mail each month, I flip to the horoscopes and read them aloud. I typically read mine first, then my boyfriend’s. Usually, we can share a laugh at the very least, and it’s a fun little thing to do together. I find it really interesting when it tells you about romantic compatibility as far as friendships and relationships are concerned. As luck would have it, our horoscopes say that we’re very compatible as lovers! But I really didn’t need a horoscope reading to know that!
Even though I think that the daily or monthly horoscopes are pretty accurate, I think that the individual Zodiac sign readings themselves are very good. They are especially good at describing a person based solely on when they were born. For example, I’m a Sagittarius, and I think that I have many of the typical traits and characteristics of that sign. I would say that I’m reliable and trustworthy, and I’m definitely an optimist—all common in Sagittarius descriptions. I also have quite a temper and am very impatient, which are some common flaws of people born under this sign.
Overall, I don’t think you should let horoscopes and Zodiac signs rule your life, but they’re interesting to read and something to keep in mind for sure. More often than not, at least for me, they’re extremely accurate and provide some great feedback into where my life could be heading.
Getting your horoscope from Tarot card readings, on the other hand, seems eerily accurate sometimes. My cousin got really into Tarot cards years ago and she used to read my horoscope for me all the time. their quality of a tarot reading definitely varies, but sometimes it’s so spot on that it’s scary! Obviously, you can’t become totally paralyzed and consumed by what their forecasts are for your life, but I think that it’s something to keep in mind when you’re making important choices.
Sometimes, she would help me make important decisions using the cards. She also had a friend that would call and ask for readings all the time before making they made any major decisions. Generally, though, I feel pretty much the same way about Tarot cards as horoscope reading; Use it to help enhance your life, and have fun with it!
A Little About the Origin of Tarot Cards and Tarot Readings
Written by psychiclineadmin on February 25, 2009
The origin of Tarot cards is obscure and mysterious! One version of the “true” history of the tarot connects the cards to Egyptian mysteries, Hermetic philosophy, the Kabbalah, alchemy and just about every other mystical system known to mankind! What we do know for sure is that cards first appeared in Italy and France in the late 14th century and that by the fifteenth century wealthy Italian patrons commissioned beautiful decks to be used in a popular card game. Tarot cards eventually became associated with the esoteric sometime in the 18th century.
Tarot is most generally applied for insight. It is believed that the cards may be applied to gain prediction into the recent difficulties and possible forthcoming’s of the subject.
A quantity of tarot readers believe the cards help them tap into a collective unconscious or into their own creative, subconscious while others believe that with tarot they are able to communicate with the Divine.
Typically, a tarot reading involves a ‘seeker’, who shuffles the cards and cuts the deck and a ‘reader’, who lays out the chosen cards in a prototype named a spread. All position in the spread has an import, and all card has a variety of symbolic imports too. The reader knows how to interpret the cards and brings together these two imports to shed light on the seeker’s difficulties.
Current tarot decks consist of 78 cards, of which 22 have pictures representing forces, characters, virtues, and vices. The residual cards are discarded into 4 ‘suits’ of 14 cards each. Each suit has 10 numbered cards and four court cards (king, queen, knight, and page). The court cards may mean different individuals in a tarot understanding , with each suit’s “nature” giving hints about that person’s physical and emotional characteristics.
Nowadays contemporary playing cards all developed from the suit cards.

A Little About Tarot Cards and Tarot Readings
Written by psychiclineadmin on February 25, 2009
Most of us have heard of Tarot Cards but may not fully appreciate their history and current usage. In European countries, there are a number of tarot card games for instance. The cards used in the games have many different designs, patterns and colors and are quite distinct from those used in psychic tarot readings. The game cards can vary depending on the particular region in which the players are located. Some of the standards however, are a deck of 78 cards which consist of four suits of fourteen cards, twenty one trump cards and a fool card.
Of course, many of us are more used to thinking of tarot cards for insight into one’s future and there are millions of people who have taken advantage of this use of the cards in helping them make important decisions in their lives. The cards used for these psychic readings are rather different from the game cards. Modern tarot card decks differ in their colors or symbols. However, the most common deck in the English speaking world is the Rider-Waite Tarot. The majority of the modern variations of the tarot deck in fact are based on the Rider-Waite Tarot.
The modern deck used for psychic readings can be divided into 2 parts. There is the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The major Arcana includes the trump cards which are very symbolic and provide the deeper, more profound answers that you may be seeking from a tarot reading. These cards are scene based and are labeled with both a roman numeral and a name. The Minor Arcana on the other hand are 56 cards that can provide answers to more immediate questions you may have about daily activities or events. These cards also consist of a roman numeral and a name for each that your reader will use to address your questions.
If you want to learn more about the cards before obtaining a reading, there are a number of very useful tarot card tutorials that you can find online. In addition, before you choose a tarot card reader, be sure to do your research so that you can find the right psychic reading that will provide the insight you are seeking.
