Now I have said before and I will say it again...and probably again after that, Do Not Use Book Definitions.
The book definitions on the cards although may not seem very vague, they leave a lot up to the querent to interperate.
Take "Death" for example. This card states in the book (or most books anyway) that this is the "end" to something, and always
a beginning to another.
THIS, beggining and ending....the end of one situation and the beginning of another is ALWAYS present in people's lives.
This is how cold readings happen...lol. The cards are only supposed to sort of open up our own door to whispers.
Take the death card and look at it during your reading, what does it say to you? not just the book. What does it tell
YOU about the situation at hand?
I find that through every reading, moslty the cards "meanings" to me, change constantly. In one reading death could symbolize
a drastic change for someone, yet in another reading, it could be a symbol or warning that the person is bringing an end to
something that may not be the best idea.
OR another reading it could come up actually meaning DEATH, or someone slowly killing themselves with alcohol, drugs..ect..ect...so
you see how this changes with our own inner knowledge.
One card, can mean so many things. It is all up to your focal point and what you feel.
At times, you will get feelings about a card that seems just totally off.
Trust yourself and your intuition. Spit out or take into consideration ALL feelings, thoughts, ect...that you pick up
on a card. I garuntee you it will have some significance.
