What are the hidden rules of reading the tarot that you know of? Like the ones that you can't get just by reading the little white booklet tarot cards traditionally come with.
For example: in the in depth book that I have, 2 queens near each other in a spread means "rivalry," and 3 kings in a spread means "influential men." Etc.
Yes there is. Those who do not abide are called something else, not "tarot readers" nor "psychic reader", despite their ability to read tarot and do divination, in order to draw a clear and clean cut from the so call ordinary, mainstream, dominating ones. They exist in unsurprisingly few, so few, even ten fingers might run a chance to count them at all (maybe more now), and can hardly be found unless someone got so damned lucky to work with such Master of the Space. Clients who go to a psychic will always expect something around the same norm they found in any tarot community, as well as having their intuition on sync with the readers in general.
This not only mean that wherever you go you will always find relatively consistent card explaination, but also consistent reading method (despite the intuition first vs tarot explaination first method). Nothing currently, unless you searched outside of the circle of tarot like what I did, will bring you to a "method" that will go beyond the conventional. Going back to the intention of the original tarot backbones ike RWS and thoth, only then one deeply understands, comprehend, and to be able to directly apply the theory to their own daily life.
In later days, combining the mundane experience with the basic studying of the surrounding, which this one is off tarot at many times, one understands and comprehend, then with any medium, without relying on so call hunches one can read from any medium. It is when the sixth sense conbine, the miracle happen.
The existence of the hidden rule, means that I usually avoid those who are deep into that particular method. There is a line that "non psychic readers" who can read will never want to get ourselves mixed up, unfortunately.
A very on the spot question. The question itself is already a warning itself especially if you are only just about to start. I wish your Mundane journey good luck, and be careful with learning tarot.
I myself admittedly am one of those who satisfy the category I stated. But then, I myself is just about to celebrate my 30th birthday when March hits. I cannot call myself a master reader as a result due to a seriously lack of experience. But a sudden and surprising search got me caught deeply into my past life no matter I wanted it or not, and exponentially boosted my reading ability.
