Tarot Divination by Bill Heidrick

Suggestions for general use of this material:

1. In elementary divinations using only the Major Trumps, these combinations afford quick interpretations. Cards may be laid down in pairs or a row of cards may be read as overlapping pairs.

2. These interpretations are based on the sequence of the cards in a reading. Thus, if the Magician is the first card and the Chariot is the second, look under "Magician and Chariot". If the Chariot is the first card and the Magician is the second, look under "Chariot and Magician".

3. For normal readings involving an entire deck, use these Major Trump pairs with the breakdowns for Minor Trumps and Court Cards. For example, the Nine of Wands is like The High Priestess and Temperance. If the first card is the Hierophant, and the second is the Nine of Wands, this may be expanded as: Hierophant and High Priestess modified by Hierophant and Temperance. The primary meaning is always the direct one of each card in itself, modified by the position in the layout. These combinations help in unifying a reading and in examining secondary meanings.

4. For a very focused reading, select two Major Trumps to serve as a double significator. Use these interpretations to pin-point the exact matter of interest.

5. In a normal reading, when two Major Trumps come next to each other, these interpretations will help identify a major influence or change.

6. In meditation, find an interpretation that suits your interest. Take the two Major Trumps that match this interpretation, and meditate upon them.
