Correct Answer: Madonna had a reading by infamous celebrity tarot reader Tilly Tarot to reveal her true personality. This shining star had heavy pentacles energy in her spread, reflecting how driven and determined the Material Girl was to be successful. There were many cards within her spread, but the most surprising and interesting was the center of her spread that held The Devil card, representing her temptress, lustful nature.

Question 2: Everything in tarot is symbolic and meaningful, from the pictures that tell beautiful stories to the numbers that dress each card. Even the order of how the tarot cards are presented hold special messages. What is the very first card in most traditional tarot decks?

Your Answer:

Correct Answer: The Magician (I), also known as The Magus or The Juggler, is the first of the Major Arcana cards in most traditional Tarot decks. This depicts someone who has everything they need from within. They are fully resourced, physically showing tools surrounding them, but the most important tool the Magician has is his mind. This teaches us the most important lesson of all (and starts the beginning of everything just as it starts the beginning of the tarot deck), that anything can be created with a simple thought.

Question 3: Tarot can get really specific and give readers the opportunity to identify specific people within a reading. Your guides could be pointing you to a new connection, identifying a new partnership, or even warning you of an enemy in your blind spot. It’s important to know how tarot suits can be interpreted as significators in a reading, or how to identify people within a reading. Which tarot suit traditionally depicts a fair complexion, blue eyes, and blonde hair in tarot readings?

Your Answer:

Correct Answer: When a tarot reading is about a person, the suit is used as the significator card to represent the person in which the tarot reading is focused on. In this case, when a Cups card is present, this can indicate that the person has fair skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair. Wands indicate a fair complexion, red or auburn hair, and green eyes. The Swords indicate a medium complexion, brown hair, and brown or hazel eyes. Finally, the Pentacles indicate a darker complexion, brown or black hair, and dark eyes.

Question 4: Did you know that there is a divine connection between tarot and the stars? In fact, each zodiac sign is connected to a special major arcana card that explains a deeper soul-touching story behind the divine path of each sun sign. Which major arcana card/zodiac sign pairing is incorrect?

Your Answer:

Correct Answer: Believe it or not, Cancer is actually represented in tarot by The Chariot major arcana card. Why? Well, Cancers are the cardinal water sign of the zodiac, as represented by The Chariot’s courageous energy as the warrior charges forward while balancing all of its emotions (the dark horse and the white horse as depicted on the card). The Moon is connected to Pisces in tarot because the moon rules the subconscious mind and Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. This is where all of our experiences are collected and healed through (or else they become fragmented subconscious behaviors that rule over our emotional experiences).

Question 5: Energetic hygiene is a must!!! Just as you would wash your hands each day, you should cleanse your divination tools as well — especially before and after each use. What is the best way to cleanse your tarot cards before and/or after readings?

Your Answer:

Correct Answer: Cleansing your tarot cards is an imperative step to using this divination tool in the highest light. Tarot cards are a way to connect with your divine intuition, your spirit guides, others spirit guides, and your ancestors as well as others. To make sure that you are only receiving messages from sources of high frequency, light energy, add cleansing your tarot cards into your ritual before readings and after readings. This is especially important when you first receive a new deck!
