Inspiration

Tarot brings to mind a lot of things. Some view it as a psychological inquiry into an individual's perceptions. Others view it as a spiritual exercise of divination into one's fate. This Application in the developer's opinion would best be utilized in the vein of psychological inquiry. Keep in mind your intention you would like the cards to reflect. The user should ask themselves something Open-Ended. Being too specific about a question in the developer's opinion is outside of the scope of this application.

Tips

This App provides 3 spreads.

Single Card

  • Can be used for a single card reading or for explorative purposes
  • Allows user to shuffle and draw individual cards and present basic meaning

Three Card Spread

  • Basic reading for basic questions
  • Lays 3 cards out in a line

Action to Avoid (1st position from the left)

This position refers to the essence of what you should navigate from in relation to the question asked

The Situation (The middle card)

This position represents the nature of the question asked or the circumstances surrounding it

Action to Take (1st position from the right)

This position involves the essence of an action that would be wise to take

Ten Card Spread

  • Uses what is called a 'Celtic Cross Spread' which is a 10 card layout
  • Allows the user to move the center cards off of one another, which are crossed and can be hard to see.
  • Enables the user to click on an individual card and view details on it.

The Present By Problem

Also known as the Situation Crossed By...
The upright card behind the horizontal card above it is the Present. This represents the root/essence of the question.
The Horizontal card on top of the Present is called the Problem/Crossed By... This card represents issues surrounding the question. Think of something intersecting the situation rather than the situation itself.

Conscious Thoughts

This is the Top of the Celtic Cross, above the Situation Cards.
Conscious thoughts reflect what you are presently aware of regarding the situation cards.

Unconscious Thoughts

This is mirrored to Conscious Thoughts, below the Situation Cards.
Unconscious Thoughts reflect what exists in the back of your mind, out of sight, but influential just as much as Conscious Thoughts

Recent Past

This card is to the left of the Situation Cards, Conscious Thoughts, and Unconscious Thoughts
Recent Past represents the essence of what has transpired recently in relation to the situation. This is subjective as situations can very in importance. Usually represents a day or a week of time. But, maybe longer if the situation is one of greate significance.

Near Future

This card is mirror in position of the Recent Past, this exists to the right of the aforementioned cards before the final 4 cards to the right.
Near Future represents the essence of probable coming events involving the situation cards. But, not the conclusion of the situation cards.

The Self

This card is the bottom most right card. The bottom of the final column.
This card represents the ego/self in relation to the situation cards. This card can reflect you within the spread.

The Environment

This card is immediately above The Self
This represents 'the field' in which the question exists. This card gives insight into the environment in which the Situation exists within.

Hopes and Fears

This card is above The Environment.
Hopes and Fears represents what your attitudes surrounding the outcome are. The card may represent Hope or Fear moreso than the other. That's up to you to determine.

Final Outcome

This is the card which is the top-right most in the whole spread Final Outcome represents what is the likely outcome of the situation as things stand now. Like Near Future, this card involves what is to come to pass. In the developer's opinion and experience. This card differs in that it encompasses the conclusion of the Situation Cards.
