The facade tarot is a popular tarot deck that has existed for some time. It is used by astrologers, psychics, and other professionals who work with the tarot to help people understand their astrological chart and how it impacts their lives.
The facade tarot is a modified version of the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) deck, which was created in the early 1920s by Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Colman Smith. The RWS deck is well-known for its simplicity and use of bright, iconic images that make it easy to understand for beginners. However, there have been many complaints about the accuracy of RWS readings in recent years.
The facade tarot has been modified to address these issues by adding more detail to certain images and removing others that may confuse or mislead readers. Because it is a modified version of the original RWS deck, it uses many of the same symbols as the original RWS deck. However, they are slightly altered to better suit the needs of professional readers.
1. The Minor Arcana
Following are the minor arcana of tarot:
- The Minor Arcana is made up of 56 cards, which are divided into four suits: pentacles, cups, wands, and swords. Each suit has 14 cards (ace through ten, plus four court cards). The minor arcana can be thought of as representing the smaller details or everyday aspects of your life.
- The first thing you will need to do when reading the tarot is to decide what question you want to ask. Once you have a question in mind, you will then need to choose a spread. A spread is simply the arrangement of cards that will be used to answer your question. Many different spreads can be used, but some of the most popular include the three-card spread and the Celtic cross.
- Once you have shuffled and cut the deck, it is time to begin laying out the cards in your chosen spread. Start by choosing one pile and turning over the top card. This card will be placed in the middle of the space. Then, choose another card from either pile and place it to the left or right of the first card, depending on which position in the spread it corresponds to. Continue until all of the positions in your chosen feed have been filled with ten cards (or however many are required for your particular reading).
