Greetings everyone, I hope you're all doing alright.
So I've switched on to Thoth deck because I'm big fan of Crowley's work and I feel strong connection with the cards - much stronger than I've had with the Dark Grimoire few months ago to be honest. But there's been an issue with my progress, I'm into tarot for around two months and being broke student I can't afford some tarot classes and I have to deal with all sorts of books from local libraries (pretty limited) and what's available online , however I'm not a fan of going multiple sources at a time and I'm kinda falling in depression with my poor progress - so here's the issue...
Looking at some YouTube tarot readers I can't recall them mentioning the meanings of the cards that are usually written in some books and I also can't find the connection with what they're saying and the cards they've laid out - it feels like I'm too dependent on the books and their cheat-sheets with just some notes on what the cards might mean and it's killing me. I haven't memorized 50% of the cards meanings and it at this point seems impossible to do, so I'm asking this community to help me out a little with what my plan should look like. I do the readings daily and for few persons (mostly family) but I always have cheat-sheet on my side and very often I get limited readings or readings that just don't seem connected to the question that was given since for example I don't know how to interpret 'Lust' when the question is about business or financial situation or even worst when someone asks what other person's personality is or opinion - I do know some keywords of such card but it'd kinda feel like a nonsense to talk about e.g magickal power or energies when person asks for financial insight..
I hope this thread is clear on my question and I hope there will be kind souls to help a newcomer in the complex world of tarot.
All the best,
Astrophobos
