I was just wondering if anyone uses the cards in this way. For example The Chariot ~ car (something about the clients car) 4 of Swords ~ sickness or hospital 6 or Swords ~ moving or travel Ace of Wands ~ a birth (as in a baby) I feel the reader has to be very intuitive to read this way. I understand this but only use it as a second meaning or if I can't voice the meaning of the card at the time. Anyone have any other that is direct info in the reading that they would share?

I use the cards this way if I'm asking a question about finding a lost item. The cards show situations or elements that are very accurate when related to where the item finally shows up. Last week I posted somewhere here in a thread about the most recent reading I did for a friend--whose lost wallet showed up on a shelf under a window. We were led there by the RWS 4 swords, the horizontal knight resting under the window looked exactly like the place. When my husband lost his penknift, drawing the Emperor told me "where he sits." We looked in his office, in his usual chair at home--the knife turned up in the driver's seat of his car. (But I didn't get the Chariot on that Q.)

Wow, reading these posts, I just got an image of a Tarot that would be for lost items.... Tarot of the Lost? Tarot of the Lost & Found? Where Is It Tarot? :D

Cool idea! Images of places, large and small, furniture, rooms, nature places. Very useful!

The cards can mean ANYTHING depending on what the question asked was. If you ask, where is the penknife and the card pulled suggests his office, then that is what it meant. That is why I (ad nauseum, I admit!) say put the LWB aside. The cards mean what they mean AT THE TIME YOU ARE READING THEM. And that is the ONLY meaning that really counts! I sometimes see a conception or fertility issue in Ace or 10 of Pentacles but why not a birth in the Ace of wands? and I also saw dental issues in the Robin Wood 1o of Pentacles!

Quote: The cards mean what they mean AT THE TIME YOU ARE READING THEM. I agree with you. I have always seen some aspect of death in the Robin Wood Ace of pentacles because it's an exact picture of the cemetary where my mother and her relatives are buried.

I would see that, too, as a possible communication from those realtives on the other side..... maybe in the cards that follow it?

I received this information from two different readers. Moon~ (people who have passed over) A lady said, "who is the first person that you think of when I ask you about someone who has passed over?" Then she said "they are near you, or they are thinking aboutyou also." Death~ clearing A different reader says, " this card is to be divided from the top left corner to the bottomright. The bottom is clearing away for sunshine that is shown on the top." If you do this with the card, cover the top half sideways with another card and then the bottom you can see the difference. I use these sometimes this way also. I think they make sense.
