Tarot Prophet: Free 3 Card Tarot Reading with Sophia Loren

When thinking about tarot cards, the Minor and the Major Arcana always come to mind. But rarely, someone thinks about the Royal Arcana, one of the most exclusive clubs. The reality is there is no official term “Royal Arcana”, but it is a club consisted of the four court cards of each suit. The club is elusive, and people very often think how to present the Royal Arcana cards.

Why is the club Exclusive?

The Royal Arcana has few characteristics no other card in the tarot has.

1. The cards can put reference to people in many levels, including the past, present and future. Often, people that are no longer present in this world appear in the Royal Arcana (deceased family members and friends). Natural medium people are bound for such an experience.
2. The Royal Arcana cards can point to real people present in our life, and to our own internal behavior as well. Their double meaning, external and internal, is what makes them special.
3. The cards are like a living chameleon, changing their reading and meaning accordingly to the context of the queen.

The Power of Intuition

The Royal Arcana cards demand the practitioner to rely on his/her intuition more heavily than normally. There is no reading just with court cards, but once they appear in a reading, they change the whole dynamics. When reading Royal Arcana cards, one must search for the common voice, one that tells a story. An interesting way of presenting court cards is by personalizing their meaning. In essence, this means to use first person point of view.
