Tarot

The so-called signboard is the card used to show the questioner or the question to be divined in tarot divination. Signs played an important role in early tarot divination. Mastering the essence of symbols is of great significance to the accuracy of tarot divination. Why is the signboard so useful? The reason is that signs are the key to distinguish different fortune tellers.

Constellations can help fortune tellers reveal information necessary for making overall value judgments. This information can guide the comprehensive judgment of divination.

In the past tarot divination, fortune tellers generally chose constellations. It is customary to choose one of the 16 palace cards to represent the fortune teller before shuffling. Of course, when choosing a constellation, you don't exactly choose which one you want according to your own wishes. There are many rules and requirements for selecting signs. These regulations and requirements are not uniform, and different regions have different habits.

In Europe, the choice of logo is generally based on the color of human hair, skin and eyes, and different races can choose different decks to represent it. On this basis, we will decide which card to choose finally according to the age and gender of the fortune teller. Under normal circumstances, mature men choose the king card and mature women choose the queen card; Young men choose knight cards, and young women and minors choose waiter cards.

There are other ways to divide signboards besides dividing them according to national characteristics. Because people's external image may not really reflect people's internal character, it is actually more appropriate to use different signs according to people's personality. Nowadays, choosing signs according to people's personality has become a widely spread method of choosing signs. The usual division is: the employee group is extroverted and has strong action; Cup group is good at communication and safety; Baojian Group is introverted and focused; The star brand group is practical and good at financial management. When using this method, you should be familiar with the personality type represented by each deck. However, the method of choosing constellations according to personality also has shortcomings, that is, the scope of application is small. It only applies to people we know, not to most people we don't know.

In addition, there are cards for choosing constellations according to different constellations. Usually, the sun constellation is the main constellation, the fire constellation represented by Aries, Leo and Sagittarius is represented by the palace card of the scepter group, the earth constellation represented by Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn is represented by the palace card of the star card group, the air signs represented by Gemini, Libra and Aquarius is represented by the palace card of the sword card group, and the water constellation represented by Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces is represented by the palace card of the cup card group. Choosing a constellation in this way requires a deep understanding of the characteristics of the constellation.

But also to distinguish and choose different constellations according to different occupations of fortune tellers. There is no doubt that in modern society, occupation has become a very important part of everyone's life. Occupation has a great influence on people's thinking and psychology. According to occupation, employee cards generally represent farmers, workers and other occupations, mainly manual labor. People engaged in these jobs are usually simple and powerful, similar to the meaning of the palace card of the staff deck. Generally speaking, the Beika people are engaged in culture, education, service and other occupations. , and mainly contact with people. People engaged in this kind of occupation are sensitive to interpersonal communication and need to have certain knowledge and skills, which is similar to the meaning contained in the palace card of the cup deck. Generally, people who do housework at home also belong to the cup card group; Sword cards represent some professions. These people are keen on observing and judging things, similar to the meaning contained in the palace card of the sword card; The star brand group generally represents various occupations in the financial and commercial circles. People engaged in this kind of occupation are pragmatic and have the ability to judge money, and compare the significance of the palace brand of star brand group.

Specific to the choice of each card, the king card is usually suitable for leaders or older people, who have decision-making ability, are good at thinking and judging, and most of the decisions they make are to be implemented by others without having to do it themselves; Queen cards generally represent the role of executors, often doing things within the scope of routine, mostly referring to some background work, which is different from the role represented by the knight cards behind. Knight card represents the executors who have to deal with fierce competition, generally referring to those who work outside, and their work style is bold and vigorous; Attendant cards represent newcomers who have just joined the work and need guidance from others to do well.

These are some common ways to choose constellations. In addition to these, you can also use the method extracted by the questioner himself. This is usually used when the fortune teller himself doesn't know which constellation is the most suitable. Specifically, before the fortune teller chooses the cards, put the palace cards of 16 together and let the fortune teller shuffle and draw one. You can also play 16 palace cards in advance, so that the fortune teller can pick a few similar cards and draw one after shuffling.

In actual divination, some fortune tellers will open all the palace cards of 16 for fortune tellers to choose from. However, we do not advocate this way of choosing signs, because such choices are often subjective and easy to deviate from reality, so it is best to choose random signs for comparison.

In the earlier Tarot divination, the sign represented the soothsayer himself, and the selection range was limited to the palace card of 16. Later, the scope of choice gradually expanded to the big Alcanaka, because there is an understanding that the big Alcanaka may be closer to some people's personality.

Later, miracles not only represented diviners, but also things to be divined. Because the scope of performance has expanded, it is difficult to express it simply with Gong and Da Alcana cards, and gradually, there has been card cutting. At present, in many card arrays, there is usually no strict requirement to use signs, but to cut cards instead. The so-called card cutting is to cut any card from 78 tarot cards to represent fortune tellers or divination problems. The difference between card cutting and signboard is that any card can be used as card cutting, and signboard can only be selected from 16 palace card or big Alcana card. Although cutting cards has been widely used, in modern advanced divination, it is still considered that choosing constellations is more accurate. "
