Each card can be viewed as a magic mirror, reflecting back to us our inner state. A
mirror is simply a means of finding meaning, and Tarot is a means of discerning
meaning.
We ask the Tarot a question - any question, about any aspect of our life - and like
a psychic mirror, it captures an image that will yield its meaning to us. At the
heart of most questions, especially those most deeply felt, is the question of
meaning. To experience life with joy you must find a sense of personal meaning.
When
someone asks, "What's going on?" they usually want to know, "Why is this happening
to me?".
This underlies that there is a comprehensible meaning to our experiences -
that the events themselves are mirroring some deeper cause that is veiled from
ordinary sight.
