this sort is a major change. the important thing
is how the receiver deals with this change. con-
vey to the receiver that this change is imminent
and must be received in the most positive light in
order to move on with her life. death is merely
the precursor to rebirth.
next turn over each successive card in turn and
weave a story throughout the reading that con-
tinues the receiver’s journey. (Pg. 16, Fig. 4)
our next card is temperance which is a card that
conveys the need for moderation in life. so the
receiver will enter a period of renewed balance
from her break-up this will bring about a great
change in her life that if embraced positively and
in moderation will lead her further down her
life path. the last card revealed is the Hanged
Man which is a waypoint in all journey’s repre-
senting a voluntary sacrifice made to gain a new
perspective or life goal. the receiver’s sacrifice
in this case could very well be her relationship
which although chaotic offered some sense of
comfort. the letting go and sacrifice of this rela-
tionship will lead her to a renewed perspective
on life but only if she enters into this endeavor
seeking fairness for all parties, embraces change
and finds a way to a path of moderation in her
new and more care-free life.

As you weave the story that the cards reveal
be attentive to your receiver and listen to all
that he/she has to say. they will help guide you
as much as the tarot cards do throughout the
reading.
eVolVe’s tarot metHod:
this method of tarot reading is very quick as
well as easy. You are going to use the cards to
tell a story. the better you are at coming up with
stories on the spot the easier this method will
be for you.
preparation: divide the cards into the three
groups listed here
tHe major arCana: Fool card up to the
World card – 22 cards total
tHe minor arCana: 1- 10 of each of the
cup, wand, sword, and pentacle cards – 40 cards
total
tHe Court Cards: All the pages, knights,
kings, and queens – 16 cards total
tHe reCeiVer:

Have the receiver shuffle each group of cards
individually. tell her to “only think of what
comes to mind first, because that is what may
be most important right now.”
next, have the receiver draw one card from
each pile of cards. (3 total)
let them hold on to the three cards or have
them place the cards on the table, while you
put the others away. Have them place the cards
in this order. First the minor arcana, second the
court card, and third the major arcana.
HoW to read Her Cards:
each group of cards represents a different com-
ponent of any story. In this case:
•
•
•
the major arcana are the theme
the court cards are the characters
the minor arcana are the events in the story
It is your job as the reader to put these pieces
together in a way that makes sense to the re-
ceiver.
For example, if my receiver drew, the two of
Pentacles (minor arcana), the knight of Wands
(court card) and Judgment (major arcana) the
reading might go something like this:
“You drew Judgment, a symbol of choice, and a
decision that you will have to make that is very
polarized. It’s a very yes or no choice, a good
and evil choice. this is the theme of your story.
It’s very black and white.
next, we have the knight of Wands, the charac-
ter in your story. this could be and active male,
who is impulsive and sometimes unpredictable.
this person, who in a bad mood will refuse to
change his path, is a person who can prove to
be sincere and brave. this person is the center-
piece for your story. He may be the root of the
theme or just a helper in the story. this person
is often the cause of change and is a major player
in stories. His sign is of fire. Fire represents ego,
generally its accurate to say that people like this
will pull themselves into a good friend’s life when
they feel it’s necessary, acting as the glorious fi-
ery knight depicted in the card.
last we have the two of Pentacles, a card that
represents change and balance. As the card por-
trays a juggler, balancing out the two coins. this
is how the story goes. the event that will take
place is an event that concerns the balance of
your life. generally this card has financial signifi-
cance. this is because pentacles or coins repre-
sent earth. earth cards correspond to the mate-
rial world, and by that, of course, I mean money,
assets, business and other worldly things. Also,
it can represent imbalance in a relationship. It’s
possible that since no water cards were drawn
in this reading that there is a lack of emotion. It’s
possible that you were not viewing the relation-
ship with emotion; rather you were viewing it as
an object, something material and not emotional
or spiritual.”
Note about aces:
If the receiver draws an ace. Read it as raw energy
and have them chose another minor arcana card.
Interpret the ace like so; “you’re going to put in a lot
of [ego (wands), thought (swords), your material
self (pentacles) or emotion (cups)] into this story
if you haven’t already.” Use the ace card to em-
phasize any other card with a matching elemental
