Mystery surrounding tarot
More often than not, I see a look of curiosity in people's eyes when I talk about tarot. The normally assume that tarot is a form of an occult where a woman wearing a long robe and open flowing hair with mean eyes looks at a some cards which look like playing cards to tell you your future and scare the withs out of you!
And all I can do is smile to myself. Tarot, though old in origins is more practised in the west than in the orient. Being from India, I know that astrology is the predominant form of fortunetelling and other form is mistaken for astrology.
Astrology is based on reading of your birth charts and the star under which you were born. In tarot, the reading is done on the basis of which cards you pick. I , personally believe that it is necessary to be there in person for your own reading as your aura is reflected on the cards too.
Tarot involves a more intutive based reading. You need to have a very strong intution power to be able to do tarot. Also, how you link up the cards to make it a seamless chain of events is important.

What is tarot?
Many people I have come across confuse tarot with astrology or as "parrot reading". It is neither. Tarot is a medium of fortune telling and a means of divination. It is a set of 78 cards, each card representing different symbolic pictures. The cards tell a story which will give you an insight into your past, present and future.
The tarot deck usually comprises 78 cards divided into major arcana cards and minor arcana cards. There are 22 major arcanas and 56 minor aracanas. The major arcanas represent a deciding big event in your life which usually will happen and cannot be altered whereas the minor arcana cards as the name suggests, indicate an event which can be changed in due course on account of your actions in relation to a particular matter.
