In addition, it is for this deck that Tarot masters recommend that beginners learn the basics of Tarot, and it is on this deck that most really good self-study books on Tarot have been written.

In this article, let's touch on topics related to layouts.

  • Tarot layouts for beginners with interpretation,
  • Simple tarot spreads for beginners,
  • Interpretation of tarot cards for beginners, etc.

Let's make some clarity about the terms "the meaning of the tarot card" and "interpretation of the tarot card". It is appropriate to talk about the meaning when it means just some kind of separate card (this is for a fortuneteller). We talk about the interpretation of the card when this card is already in some kind of layout. Otherwise, we can say more like this - the fortuneteller uses the meanings of the cards (for himself) in order to interpret (for the questioner) them in the layout.

Tarot for beginners

For those who better absorb information from the video - just below there are 3 videos with a rather detailed interpretation. The simplest tarot layouts for beginners are the tarot triplets. The triplet Tarot layout is simply 3 cards laid out in a row. You can set the names of the positions yourself. The most popular variants of position names in triplets:

If you are interested in the layout for three cards for the future then it might look like this

  • The next 5 years - The next 5 years - And another 5 years.

Those. you define for yourself the time period that interests you and divide it into three parts. Accordingly, if you are interested in what will happen in the next 30 years, then instead of 5 years you say 10 years. BUT, you must agree, it is quite difficult to describe 5 years of life with one card (and even longer periods of time).

Let me explain with an example. There are many literary works that tell about the life of travelers who ended up on a desert island and lived there for a long time. Throughout the novel, a person's life on this island is described. For example, the famous Robinson Crusoe. And so you make a three-card deal for Robinson Crusoe's life.

And, for example, the Knight of Pentacles (trade) - the HERMIT - 10 Pentacles (family, inheritance, clan, material well-being) falls out. All those years that he spent on the island, everything that he had to overcome, everything that he had to learn, that he had to endure - the tribes of cannibals, the meeting with Friday, the pirate attack and much more will be described by the HERMIT card. Loneliness, isolation, withdrawal from the world. Will this map reflect the whole picture ???

Conventionally, we can say that when you make an alignment on Tarot cards for the future for three cards, you determine the "temperature average in the ward" (someone has already died and cooled down, someone has a fever of 40 * C, but the card does not say about this, she only says that the average temperature in the ward is 36.6 *).

Tarot layout for the near future in three cards

Will give you a more detailed picture. For example:

  • The next 2 weeks (2 months) - The next 2 weeks (2 months) - And the next 2 weeks (2 months).


You will get even more detailed information if you further limit the scope of the question. For example,

  • What will happen at workв The next 2 weeks (2 months) - The next 2 weeks (2 months) - And the next 2 weeks (2 months).

The situation is three cards - you want to determine the trend of the situation. In this case, the positions can be named as follows:

  • Past-present-future (your income / your relationship / your job, etc.)

And then you can see

How cloudless is your future (Isn't something being laid in the present that you do not even suspect that will cause you a lot of trouble in the future. Although now it seems to you that nothing portends deterioration.)

If you find in the layout something that will alert you, you can get additional cards and find out in more detail what exactly the problem will be.

  • What needs to be changed - What to keep / maintain as is - What to ignore at all.
  • What can I change - What is not worth changing - What I cannot change (accordingly, you somehow have to adapt to this, or find a way to get around it)
  • This activity / direction / action will bring the greatest benefit / popularity - This activity will do more harm than good - This activity is just a waste of time and money. Or
  • Where to start - How to continue - How to end.
  • Important - Urgent - Useless / unnecessary
  • I have to do it myself - It can be entrusted to someone - You can ignore it.

Tarot layout for three cards for relationships, incl. for love

The simplest variant of the names of positions in the layout

  • What he thinks - What he feels - How it looks in reality
  • What he says - What he thinks - What he does
  • What does he / she like about me - What does not like - What does he / she care about
  • What he likes - What he would like to change - What he is ready to accept / What he is ready to accept as is
  • Why does he want me to appreciate him - What does he want me not to notice in him - What does he not mind changing in himself with my help
  • For which he wants to be responsible in our relationship - For which he will avoid responsibility - For which he will be responsible as a routine, without enthusiasm, but also without a desire to shake off this burden.
  • What he would like to never change in me - what he wants me to constantly show variety - What in terms of stability / variability does not matter to him at all (But in this scenario, you need to keep in mind that people change, and what a person wants Diversity now may not be important for him at all in 3-5 years. Therefore, this alignment needs to be repeated with some frequency. For example, once every six months or a year. In order to keep up with life)).

Let's draw three cards at random, come up with some hypothetical Mister X, and read the same three cards in different triplets. This will give you a visual opportunity to see how to interpret the same cards in different hands.

Past present Future

  • Knight of Pentacles (Profit / Trade / Deception);
  • 9 of Pentacles
  • 5 of Wands

What can we say about the next 15 years of the life of our Mr. X. For the next 10 years, he will be busy making money, most likely through trading. At the same time, he will not disdain and not very honest methods (the Knight of Pentacles and 9 Pentacles tell us about this) And judging by the 9 Pentacles, these efforts of his in the first 5 years in the next 5 years he will live a fairly wealthy and rather carefree life.

BUT after 10 years from the moment of fortune-telling, something will change in the rules of the activity that provided him with such an income. And in order to keep his income at the same level, it is better for him to study these new rules, and not try to act with the old methods in which he has become very familiar over the previous 10 years. The values ​​of 5 Wands tell us that he will have to relearn (learn new market rules). This is not about money, it is about rules and false competence. Those. a person only thinks that he knows something, in fact, his knowledge was either initially incorrect, or (as in our case) it became false - outdated.

What else can we say on this scenario about Mr. X? He did not limit our sphere of life in which he would like to know the future. This means that we can assume that apart from material security, there will be little interest in his life in the next 15 years. Perhaps he will marry and divorce 5 times over the years, give birth to a bunch of children, but this side of his life will be of little interest to him.

Past-present-future (your income / your relationship / your job, etc.)


Layout "Three cards" for money:

Past... The Knight of Pentacles tells us that in the past man has been actively creating the base for his present well-being. It is quite possible working as a sales agent, sales manager, etc. Those. it was a period when the wolf's legs are fed, as much as he worked, he ate as much.

The present... Now this is a completely wealthy person, his income allows him not to think about his daily bread every day, and not to strain too much about making money. BUT

Future... In the future, some unpleasant changes await him, although in the present nothing portends any deterioration. Therefore, Mr. X needs to keep abreast of the activities that now provide him with a good stable income. Don't rest on your laurels for too long. Already, some changes are beginning to take place in his field of activity, thanks to which his stable good income can significantly decrease.

Layout "Three cards" for relationships


Knight of Pentacles (Profit / Trade / Deception);

9 of Pentacles (Profit / Security / Craving for the forbidden);

5 of Wands (Game / Struggle / Game Rules / False Competence Problems)

In the past and present, the relationship has been and continues to be based on the financial component. But in the near future, our Mr. X may be presented with demands from a partner on the topic - that you are measuring everything with money ?! Do you think you can buy me? You don't pay enough attention to me, etc. Those. he will face problems in relationships that he does not know how to solve, because he knows how to solve these problems only through money and gifts.
