Being a tarot beginner or learning how to read tarot cards
is hard enough. First of all, you have to learn all the tarot
card meanings for 78 different cards and then you're supposed
to try to read them in a complicated Tarot spread like
the Celtic Cross. No way, there's a far far easier way. So
other videos in this channel are cover how to learn those tarot
card meanings that this video is going to show you some great
easy Tarot spreads that are perfect for beginners. Hi, I'm
Angie from the simple Tarot, which is your source for helping
you learn how to read tarot cards, so that you can then use
them as tools for creativity, for brainstorming, for personal
development for self care for whatever you want to do have fun
with it. I'm here to help you learn those cards. So we're
going to chat today briefly about my favorite easy Tarot
spreads for beginners but if you want to dive into this topic or
another beginner topics much deeper. Check out my next live
workshop which is how to create your own Tarot spreads. And if
you can't make it live Of course you can always watch the
workshop replays at Learn dot the simple Tarot calm I'll drop
links in the description as always, but that workshop is a
great way to dive deeper because it's about you know two hours
whereas this is like a short little video so when you're a
tarot beginner there's plenty o learn. You don't need to make
t more complicated on yourself y trying to learn complicated
arot spreads like that Celtic ross spread, so that Celtic
ross is traditional. It's the lassic Tarot spread and you
ill work your way up to it, but t's far easier if you start
ith smaller Tarot spreads that nly have 123, maybe four cards.
y absolute favorite Tarot pread of all time for
eginners, for myself for rofessional Tarot readers for
veryone is the simple three ard spreads. So I actually love
t so much that I created an ntire video on how to watch it
r how to read it, so you can atch that one right now if you
ant, but there are other Tarot preads that are great for
eginners that I love as well. he first is just a simple one
ard spread, which there's only ne card I don't know if you can
all it a spread, but it's eally useful first as a daily
raw, which is something I'm onna cover in another video, of
ourse, but the daily draw is asically pulling one card a day
nd then writing it down in your arot journal, some thoughts
bout what that card is usually sking a question like, what do
need to know today or what is he energy of today, it's
sually something you pull in he morning. Then the next day
ou do it again with a different ard of course, but you also
eview your journal entry from he day before and see how that
ard or the cards energy played ut through the previous day.
t's a great way to build your arot understanding of the card
eanings, and to really have a egular Tarot practice because
ou're doing it every single ay. So another great way to
ead a single tarot card is a ay out No question. So you can
sk the Tarot anything, but come p with a really good question
hat could be answered with a es or no. And then pull your
ne card and see if that energy f the card feels like to you
t's a positive energy, which eads is yes. Or something more
egative reads is no. And ometimes the individual card
tself, we'll have some more nformation based on the
uestion you asked. Really fun, eally quick, really easy. And
gain, it's a really good way to tart becoming really familiar
ith those tarot card meanings s well. Because you can ask as
any Yes, no questions as you ave time for. And finally, a
hird way to read a single card pread is to think of binary
uestions. So yes, no is an xample of a binary question.
here's really only two answers, ight? There's a yes and there's
no. But there are other ways o ask a binary question like, I
on't know, should I drive to hiladelphia or Boston. Either
ne draw, draw a single card and epending on what the card is
nd how it reads, you will know hether you're supposed to To go
o Boston or Philadelphia, it's ind of a terrible example. But
ust think of binary questions, single card is a really good
ay to get some more information nd to solve those. Moving on
rom the one card spread, we'll dd a second card. So two card
preads are actually really ommon too. You can ask it as a
ne card spread, and then pull he second card later to get
ore clarification about your nswer. That's one way to do it.
r you can lay the two cards out t the same time.
Some common layouts for the two cards spread include them, me,
if it's a relationship, so you're looking for information
about them, and information about you, or their feelings and
your feelings, their background and your background. However you
want to frame the question. It's a great way to look at
relationships because you have them and then you have you.
Another one is past present, so you don't need to read
predictively or in that future telling fortune telling sense to
use this spread. You can just look at past and present. So you
read it like this. So based on this situation or problem what
happened in the past to bring me here today and what is going on
in the present a great way to get information really about any
situation in general in your life. You can also read that as
past future if you choose to read in a divination way so
depending on the situation and the question asked, What brought
me to this present moment and based on what happened in the
past, and where does this my actions where's it going to take
me in the future or what is fated for my future? Depending
how do you read and finally one of my favorites is now next
because I just love actionable Tarot spreads. So one of the
cards represents now like what is the situation right now and
then what is the next action I can take to move forward then
now next spread. So you don't need to read reverse cards.
Those cards are like with the cards upright normally it shows
is reversed. If it's upright. Normally it shows us reversed in
this spread. You don't need to read those anytime, but you
especially don't need to read them as a beginner. So just flip
them right back. All right side up if you find them during a
tarot spread. So reading one card is great. Expanding to two
cards really helps. But now you're ready to go to three
cards. And reading three cards is really where you get to
practice finding that thread, that narrative line that sort of
like goes through a story. And you can read the story as
beginning, middle and end because you do have those three
cards. So Pinterest is my favorite source for finding new
Tarot spreads, but they can be a little bit more complicated than
three cards. So Pinterest if you're just searching for Tarot
spreads, like search for Tarot spreads for love or tarot
preads for writers or omething, you're going to get
n overwhelming abundance of arot spreads there that you can
ractice and play with. I do ecommend first though, that you
et a little bit of nderstanding at finding that
arrative thread by practicing he three card Tarot spread.
t's one of my favorites really ecause it's powerful enough to
e used by professional Tarot eaders, but it's really simple
nough that you can use it as a eginner and it's really good
or Tarot practice, there's so any different ways that you can
nterpret those three cards. ast present future him me us.
ike Act One, act two Act Three ike it's it can also be used
or money for divination for eneral questions for know for
ove. It's all there the three ards spread. Love it. So when
ou're ready to dive more into his powerful three card spread,
heck out this video I put ogether for you, then you're
oing to be reading cards in no ime. All right, I'll see you
here.
