It seems like the more I try to find out about these on line, the more confused I get. I'm still new to Tarot and I'm teaching myself using the Rider Waite deck. I love it!
Quite often, when I read threads on here, people talk about a base card. What it this and how can I use it? Is this something more appropriate for more advanced readers?
Regarding clarifiers, I think I've figured out the basic meaning. For a question such as "Will I get a job in the next 2 months?" you might want to pull two cards in a row for your answer for an "expanded version" but even here, I'm still a bit lost.
I think I have the idea about significators. Say if I'm doing a reading on myself, I would choose a card that represents either my looks or personality, thinking the personality ones would be more fitting, going from another thread.
A question I have about this is, would this cloud my judgement if I use a significator with my own bias?
I'm really grateful for any replies that can guide me. In my opinion, coming from a newbie's point of view, I like to keep things simple at this point and not use any of these, but that's only to prevent any confusion.
I would like to learn how and when to use a base card in a reading.
Thanks!
