Reversed Cards Are Your Friends!
Easy Tarot Lessons!
Dusty White here with Cathy, and we're on a mission today. Just like I'm the world's first vegetable rights activist (remember kids: (and tell your mom!) "Love your veggies! Don't eat them!"), Cathy and I are the world's first reversals rights activists. Reversed cards are your friends, and here's why. What We're Covering: Reversals Double Your Visual Cues: You're literally getting twice the information for free. Every card has a higher and lower energy, and when you use reversals, the deck just tells you which one it is. You don't have to guess. Reversals Make Readings More Efficient:...

Astrological Properties of the Twos in the Tarot
Easy Tarot Lessons!
Dusty White here with Kerri for another quick tarot lesson. This time we're diving into the four twos in the Minor Arcana—and I'm talking about the pip cards, not the High Priestess. Here's the thing: most sources will tell you which element belongs to which suit. Wands are fire, cups are water, swords are air, pentacles are earth. Great. But they don't tell you what flavor of that element you're looking at. That's what we're doing today. What We're Covering: Moving Beyond Kindergarten-Level Tarot: Astrology isn't just for measuring people's personalities. It's a framework we can use to...

All aces are cardinal (astrological properties of tarot cards)
Easy Tarot Lessons!
Dusty White here with Kerri for a quick 14-minute dive into something that's going to change how you look at the Aces in your deck. Here's the thing: all four Aces are cardinal. Every single one. And that matters more than you might think. What We're Covering: Why Cardinal Energy Changes Everything: Cardinal energy is compressed, explosive, immediate—like a match flaring up or an auto accident. It all happens at once. The Aces aren't subtle. They kick the door down, do their thing, and that's it. Even when they look friendly and nurturing, they're still telling you what to do. Reading...

Eight of Wands: What does this tarot card mean anyway?
Easy Tarot Lessons!
The eight of wands is easily one of the more confusing cards in the tarot. The visuals are simplistic: eight sticks are seemingly floating in air, and in the background is a small river and a house. The lack of people or determinable action gives this card something of a generic feel,, and as a result forces too many tarot readers to memorize keywords or key phrases in an attempt to make sense of this when this card comes up in a reading. But it is the simplicity and synchronicity of this image that reveals much of its true meaning. This is what we discuss in today's tarot card meaning...

Seven of Wands: What does this tarot card mean anyway?
Easy Tarot Lessons!
The seven of wands shows us a young man standing on a hill that ends in a cliff, and what seem to be stick-wielding assailants are coming at him. He doesn’t have anywhere to go, as he has been backed into a corner. His only choice now is to stand and fight. The 7 of Wands shows us when we are forced into a position, or forced to make a choice. We are under pressure, or we are put upon by others. This is a card of open conflict, but there is not a fight yet — just the threat of implied violence. All too often the threat of implied violence is enough to make most people behave or acquiesce...

Six of Wands: What does this tarot card mean anyway?
Easy Tarot Lessons!
The Six of Wands shows us a hero returning from some kind of victory — or this is celebrating his promotion or raise in status. No matter whether this is earned or if it is stolen valor, this card shows someone riding high in life. This is what it is like to be popular, in demand, and having people cheering you on. This can be a moment in time, like when you receive your diploma at the graduation ceremony for college, or the announcement that you are “employee of the month.” But this can be an event, a circumstance, or an environment. That means that the 6 of Wands as a tarot card...

Five of Wands: What does this tarot card mean anyway?
Easy Tarot Lessons!
The 5 of Wands is a deceptively complex tarot card that deals with the intricacies of social hierarchies and how we all fit in with various groups, don't fit in with others, and what we can expect when we try to manage discordant affairs. While the base art is ridiculously simple, we can glean layers of information from this card by our understanding of sociology and comparing the positions and placements of each participant in this card. The five of Wands shows us a gang of boys on a slight rise, examining each other more than themselves, and seeking either acceptance or validation, but most...

Four of Wands: What does this tarot card mean anyway?
Easy Tarot Lessons!
This card has a split focus, and it shows us three layers of activity. In the first layer we see that we are looking at a stage. The only thing real are the four sticks and the garland that is tied between the outer two of those. While the outer two sticks create a frame, the inner two create a narrow gateway that allow one or two people to pass through at a time. This makes this a checkpoint or a border crossing, but this works on a metaphysical scale just as it would on the physical plane. This could just as easily represent the gateway between the human world of awareness and the...
info_outlineWe are doing a new series called "Tarot Spread of the Day."
Every week we will bring you a professionally designed tarot spread curated by Dusty White and tested by real tarot professionals to ensure these spreads really work and are worth your time.
Today's spread is a powerful four-card spread that cuts right through all of the drama and mystery and tells you EXACTLY how someone feels about you (or your client obviously). This is one of the most asked questions pofessional tarot readers get. This spread rocks!
But more than that: This spread can also tell you how to sell anything to anyone, or how to get people to do WHAT YOU WANT. This is the power of professionally designed tarot spreads. It only needs four cards (and a significator you choose), and it hands you the exact information you need to know how someone feels, what they like, what is holding them back, and how to get them to do what you want. Full instructions are included in this podcast in a "follow along and do this as we tell you how—live" format.
Try this spread out. We *know* that after a few uses it will become one of your favorites.
One thing about micro-spreads like this.
These are short spreads. You can do them as quickly as five minutes, or if you really want to help your clients, they can give you up to 15 minutes of information with no fluff! This means that you can cast two or even three spreads in one reading. This enhances your value and thus fattens your paycheck, because you are giving a LOT more high-value information in short sessions.
