Number Symbolism: 6 – harmony, communication, sharing, compassion.

Mathers: The past, passed by, faded, vanished, disappeared; (R) the future, that which is to come; shortly, soon.

Complete Book of Tarot: How can tarot help in this process? Because the cards depict archetypal images universal to the human condition, you can use your daily draw as a starting point for self-examination and reflection in your journal. For example, a card may bring to mind memories that you would like to explore further. The images on a card might remind you of a relationship you’d like to understand more deeply. If you have suffered emotional trauma (and who hasn’t at some point in their life?), the research of psychologist James Pennebaker suggests that journaling just twenty minutes a day for a few days can have a remarkably healing effect. This healing appears to be the result of exploring without inhibition, and in a safe environment, your deepest feelings about the emotional upheaval. 15

Complete Book of Tarot: The sleep-with-your-cards myth: you must sleep with a new deck of cards under your pillow to become properly attuned to them.

Complete Book of Tarot: A critic might object that the tarot reader is simply making up stories that coincidentally connect with the querent’s concerns. To some extent this objection is valid, but most readers soon discover that especially relevant cards often do appear in ways that can feel quite uncanny.

Tarot Triumphs: In most Tarot layouts there is a significator, a card selected to stand on its own, which indicates the querent at the present time, or the topic of the question asked. Although the three-card reading I’m about to explain does not include a significator, we will come to it directly afterward with a four-card layout. It’s also worth mentioning now because it is relevant to the issue of whether the diviner is told the question or not; if there is a significator in the layout, even if the querent doesn’t voice the question aloud, the significator will usually give you a handle on the situation. So, for most Tarot readings, the significator is a signpost that you can use to point the way to the nature of the situation.
