A traditional tarot card deck has 78 cards each with its own imagery and symbolism. Each card represents different aspects of life, situations or personal characteristics. When read as a spread or combination of cards, the cards become a tool to create a picture that tells a story that relates to the person who has asked for the reading. (querent). Every reading is different depending on the reader and the circumstances, but tarot cards are also a useful tool in offering insights and common-sense advice on the trials and excitements on this journey we call life.
Most readers start this journey curious to tap into their intuition and psychic abilities by giving and receiving simple tarot card readings with their friends and family. Sometimes it is harder to read for friends and family and almost impossible to read for yourself than it is a complete stranger because you know them and have emotional expectations about the outcome. Whereas, with complete strangers it is actually quite surprising how perceptive people are when they are asked to give a reading for someone because the clues are always there; body language, verbal language and most people intuitively pick up the energy (vibes) of the people they are interacting with.
As with anything, the more you practice the better you become. Some readers are extremely intuitive and naturally gifted at reading the tarot cards because when they do a reading the cards ‘become alive’ and start interacting with each other and telling the story of the querent’s question. The most proficient tarot card readers are also gifted psychics and have the ability to ‘tune into guides’ and other information that goes beyond the five normal senses. Everyone has their own innate wisdom and the ability to be psychic or a tarot card reader depending on their desire and interest to create a practice that embraces this and brings it into their everyday life.
There are many different ways to read tarot cards, ranging from the simple to the complex. Starting with the basic yes / no spread, right up to using multiple cards to ask meaningful questions which takes the querent on a deep, introspective, spiritual and personal journey. The word spread in a tarot card reading means each card that is placed has a designated meaning, giving the reader an overview and the ability to use the cards in combination to create a story. The most common spreads are the three-card spread, the five-card spread and the Celtic Cross which uses ten cards.
There are many different tarot card or oracle decks which a reader may choose from, each with their own unique symbolism and messages. The reader will use the cards that will give them the most accurate and authentic information to share with their clients.

A basic tarot card deck has 78 cards. The deck is divided into the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. Arcana means the secret of the mysteries. The Major Arcana represents archetypes/stereotypes/ideals of universal life experiences which myths and legends are based on. Whereas the Minor Arcana focuses more on the decisions and influences of everyday life.
The Major Arcana has 22 cards which is a master number and represents the souls’ journey to enlightenment. There are 21 numbered cards and one unnumbered card which represents the Fool or the uninitiated starting out on their journey, learning life lessons and meeting new teachers along the way.
The Fool is represented by the number 0 which is the beginning and the end of a cycle. The Fool is carefree and happy to venture out into the world totally in the present moment because he/she is naive and is totally unaware or unafraid of what lies ahead. The journey takes him/her through all the numbered cards which represent different human, psychological and spiritual aspects of themselves. On this journey the Fool finds perspective and maturity by learning how to deal with both the internal and external influences in his/her life. At the end of this particular journey, the Fool has gained knowledge, understanding and wisdom of the world. The Fool now knows that life is an endless cycle that is learnt by experience.
The Fool on his/her journey to enlightenment also has to engage in activities, interact with people, thoughts, feelings, ideas and projects that make up his/her everyday life. This is personified by the Minor Arcana which has 56 cards that are made up of four suits of 14 cards. In each suit the cards are numbered Ace to 10, plus four court cards: Page, Knight, Queen and King.
The suit of Wands represents energy, motivation and passion.
The suit of Swords represents mental thoughts, actions and words.
The suit of Cups represents feelings, emotions, intuition and creativity.
The suit of Pentacles represents physical manifestation, money and practical things.
Tarot card reading is more than just memorising the meaning of the cards. Each card comes with its own unique characteristics, rich in imagery and symbolism that goes deeply into the human psyche, assimilating the lessons, joys and challenges of the human/soul journey. A gifted tarot card reader creates a meaningful reading by intuitively linking the cards together to create a story.

Quench Your Curiosity at Pendragon Psychics and Tarot
Curiosity is a regular part of healthy human development. Turning to a tarot card reading service in NZ does not mean that you are turning your back on the belief systems that raised you. Quite the contrary, exploring tarot cards through a skilled psychic grants you the opportunity to learn the similarities between religion and spirituality from a trained professional instead of the mountain of conflicting folklore available online. Our tarot card readings are interpreted by psychics native to NZ which we believe is a contributing factor in providing the most relevant readings. When a psychic reads tarot cards, they work with a deck of 78 cards suited similarly to a standard playing card deck. Each card represents a spiritual lesson or archetype, many of which parallel vital aspects of modern religions.
While the formation of cards may vary, each card is uncovered in a specific order that unveils a story relevant to your current enquiry. This approach is particularly helpful for gaining insight into your present life and what factors are truly influencing your situation. While each card has a foundational meaning, our tarot card reading service for NZ spiritualists teaches you how to apply the standardised definitions to circumstances and conditions in your life. When we remind you that “The Fool,” for example, is present in a scenario causing problems at work, you are receiving a hint on how to approach the circumstances based on the standard characteristics of the Fool archetype.
Our psychics don’t use tarot cards in NZ to pull outlandish predictions out of nowhere. Our purpose isn’t to tell you that your future is full of happiness and send you on your way. Instead, we rely on the guidance from our unique cosmic connections to lead you further along your unique path toward fulfilment. Some of our psychics use tarot cards, while others use alternative methods to provide guidance. Therefore, explore sessions with multiple guides until you find a medium that connects with your essence. Once a connection is established, use our tarot card reading service available by phone throughout NZ whenever you feel stuck or are unsure about the direction your life is taking.
