Connections between the Major Arcana is the more difficult thing for me in a reading. I suppose it' s also the more important thing. Could this mean, in your opinion, clarification? Mario

I haven't as yet read some of your other multiple-card threads, Mario, so I don't know if what I'm about to say has already been mentioned. Before considering the card juxtapositions, two other considerations come to mind: The specific nature of the enquiry/question/query; and the spread and the relative location of the cards, including whether they are upright or reversed (I realise some do not read reversed - in which case, forget this aspect) In terms of the cards coming together, however, let's look at them (some of what I say will presume the images of the Marseilles, and hope that others will make appropriate comments for other decks). In the order given, the Fool walks in the direction of the garden in which two young people are possibly playing, and will see the resurrection of the bodies in the following card. a) I may interpret this as 'clarification': The Fool's position is illumined, permitting factors to emerge from the depths. b) It may also indicate, for example, that the inner knowledge of the situation is already present, but may require the illumination from another source (perhaps from a media news item) to bring this to light, and permit action to replace the dormancy of the current inaction due to, possibly, feelings of unworthiness. c) These may, as yet another example, indicate that the world is seeing only the clothing of the person - ie, his or her position or social situation, and though there may be much inner light, it will not be recognised as shining until s/he decides to re-focus his or her efforts to the outer world. __________ Each of these may even be, in (rare) specific cases, be read even more succintly (made up examples only): a) 'write a list as to what needs to be done tomorrow' b) 'open the newspaper on page 3, and there see what needs to be done - your feelings need to be put aside, and action is required' (you'd better check what that newspaper had on p 3 :)). c) 'speak your views on the situation to your colleagues'
