Notes from us to you

Tarot has always appealed to us because it offers a way of sharing the accumulated wisdom, symbolism, and emotional insight gathered across generations of readers, storytellers, and seekers.

At the same time, Tarot card meanings are only one part of reading Tarot.

Learning meanings from books or guides is an important beginning, but meaningful readings come from interpretation, intuition, empathy, experience, and the connection between the reader, the cards, and the situation unfolding in front of them. Tarot is a living language — not simply a list of definitions to memorise.

We’ve spent well over a decade writing, refining, reviewing, and reworking our Tarot card meanings. They are a genuine labour of love and continue to evolve alongside our own understanding of the cards. Our goal has always been to create meanings that feel clear, thoughtful, accessible, and emotionally honest while still respecting the depth and complexity of Tarot itself.

tarot is deeply personal

Most importantly, these meanings are still only our interpretation.Every reader gradually develops their own relationship with the cards. In our view, one of the best ways to truly learn Tarot is by connecting cards to lived experiences, emotions, memories, and real situations.

When a reader can personally relate to a card — or recognise its themes in the world around them — the meaning becomes far more intuitive and memorable.When reflecting on a card, it can help to ask:•

What emotions were present?
• What relationships or tensions shaped the situation?
• What lessons emerged from it?
• Were there consequences or ripple effects?
• What changed afterwards?Over time, these personal connections help transform Tarot from something studied into something understood.

This is also what allows readers to develop genuine empathy within readings — something we believe sits at the very heart of Tarot. As readers attach their own stories, insights, and experiences to the cards, their interpretations naturally become more nuanced and individual.

To us, that is exactly how Tarot is supposed to work.It is how the tradition has evolved across centuries, and how it will continue evolving long into the future.Eventually, readers begin to notice recurring patterns, combinations, and relationships between cards.

Certain cards may repeatedly appear together in similar situations. Certain decks may develop a particular emotional atmosphere or “voice” unique to the reader using them. These deeper layers of recognition and intuition are part of what makes Tarot such a rich and enduring practice.We hope these Tarot card meanings help provide a thoughtful foundation for your own journey with the cards — wherever it may lead.
