Tarot reading is the practice of divining wisdom and guidance through a specific spread (or layout) of Tarot cards. The cards are meant to provide insight into the innermost truths of your Higher Self. In other words, the cards provide an evolved awareness of what you already know deep within. Some readers like to do simpler, smaller spreads using only three cards. A three-card spread can have many interpretations in and of itself, such as Situation-Action-Outcome.
