Tarot online way personal relationships. Interpretation of cards in the "Path" layout. Important points in the layout and interpretation

This tarot spread was suggested by Hayo Banzhaf, a German tarot specialist. It is called “The Way” and answers the question: “How should I behave further?” in all areas - in human relationships, at work, as well as in any other life situation.

Tarot divination to choose the Path

The layout of the Path is laid out like this:

The card in position 1 is considered the main one: it shows what the true essence of your question is, what are your prospects in the current situation and what you can expect from it.

The remaining six cards show “how you got to this life” (positions 2, 3 and 4) and how you should proceed (positions 5, 6 and 7). And, since these paired cards correspond to the three planes of being, they can also be interpreted as an analysis of these planes: 2 and 7 - the mental level, mind, consciousness, 3 and 6 - the astral level, soul, emotions, 4 and 5 - the physical level, body, behavior in society.

The layout, of course, is not simple, although it requires only seven cards. Cards for the layout are taken only mixed, that is, the Major and Minor Arcana and together.

Let's take as an example now a military man, that is, one who is currently in this honorable service to the Motherland, because there is a lot that unites them all, and the differences are rather insignificant. Probably, such a person can be found among your relatives, friends or acquaintances. Or maybe it’s you yourself (a man or a woman, it doesn’t matter here.) True, with one caveat: it must be a regular military man, because the privates and sergeants, if they do not later remain in the army, will develop the psychology of a military man can not get in time. We will then dedicate a separate layout of Tarot cards to our ordinary guys.

So, the alignment on the Tarot Path:

• Nine of Swords,
• Devil (XV Arcana),
• Valet denariev,
• King of Wands,
• Justice (XI Arcana),
• Four of Swords,
• Eight of Cups.

Interpretation of the Way layout

1. The Nine of Swords in the first position is, oddly enough, the advice to “keep your head down”, that is, do not cut the truth in the eyes of those who have more stars on shoulder straps, and even more so do not organize collective actions - this will increase repression , but will not give any result. This is also dangerous on a personal level, because the nervousness of a partner (husband - or, if you are a military man, then your wife) unsettles the second half, and family troubles begin. We need to calm down and prepare for the future.
2. Second position: The devil (XV) says that you, as a military man, until very recently were devoted to some fixed idea (“defense of the Motherland”, family tradition, desire to become a general), but now it has failed completely. Well, it's time for you to revisit it.
3. Jack of the Denarius: this card in the Tarot layout criticizes your passivity, but not now, but in the past, when something could be changed (1990, 1991, 1993). And now something to wave your fists. Wait for the next moment.
4. King of Wands: you are a wonderful person, an optimist, you are loved and hoped for, so do not deprive others of this hope! So what if you have periods of despair? Here they just need to be hidden, and colleagues should be supported. A healthy start, it never died in the Russian Army. That is why you have been placed here by the Cosmos, to keep it. And how else to get rid of rot?
5. Tip: Justice (XI). Be fair within your competence, that is, in relation to those who are subordinate to you. Then, if necessary, they will follow you into the fire and into the water. It is just never necessary to hide the truth from them, unlike the higher ones.
6. The Four of Swords in the Tarot layout about choosing the Path, as advice on what to do with your emotions: forget about emotions! Turn on your logical mind, give yourself time to think, go to rest somewhere in the mountains or by the sea, and then your subconscious mind itself will give you advice on what and how to do next - in your particular situation.
7. Eight of Cups on the mental level: “Do not look for happiness where there is none”, that is, do not think about leaving the army: this is a way out for the weak, and who needs you there, in civilian life? Better grit your teeth, endure, wait another five years, and then the situation will finally begin to change on its own, and you can take part in this.

It is believed that this layout is quite young, since its author is our contemporary German Tarot card specialist Hayo Banzhav. As conceived by the creator of the alignment, the cards were supposed to answer one question: “How should I proceed next?” Moreover, this question could touch upon the topics of any vital spheres of human existence. Today, with the help of the Way layout, you can answer three questions at once, which, however, are a specification of one initial one.

So, the questioner can get the answer of the cards on what opportunities he has to achieve his goal, how well he has acted so far, how to act in the future in order to achieve his goal and even correct the mistakes of the past. The path unfolds very simply. However, it is much more difficult to interpret the dropped cards. But everything is in order.

Card meanings

1 - main. Its meaning is “the heart of the matter”, that is, the card shows the goal.

2, 3 and 4 (left column) characterize the measures and steps that were taken to achieve the goal. These steps are specified as follows:

1) card 2 personifies the rational behavior of the questioner, his conscious motive. In other words, the card shows how the inquiring person understands the essence of the matter;

2) card 3 personifies the emotional component or unconscious motive of the questioner, which refers to all his aspirations, desires, fears and hopes. In other words, the card shows what the questioner felt or feels;

3) map 4 shows the public's response to the questioner's actions on this issue.

7, 6 and 5 (right column) is a reflection of what needs to be done in the future to achieve the goal set by the person. However, the cards of the right column have their own specification:

1) card 7 gives an indication of what should be followed in terms of rational thinking;

When interpreting the cards that have fallen out of the layout, you need to start with the main card 1. With the help of its analysis, you need to understand what are the prospects for your enterprise, whether the business you started will end in success. If the card in this position is unsuccessful, then, apparently, the goal is unattainable at all, or at least in the near future. In this case, it is necessary to postpone fortune-telling on this issue until better times. If the card in the first position is successful and the goal is quite achievable, you should proceed to the analysis of the columns in terms of whether you are moving correctly towards your goal or what adjustments need to be made. To do this, consider the ratio of cards located in the same row: 2 and 7, 3 and 6, 4 and 5.

Sometimes our life develops so strangely that we can’t understand where and why we need to move on. “The Way of the Jester” - the Tarot layout, which we propose to consider today, will help to understand the essence of the situation in which a person has fallen, as well as to determine where he is now, what events are left in the past, and which only carry with him into the future. In addition, we will also get acquainted with two other fortune-telling, also related to the choice of the path.

Tarot layout "Jester's Way"

The Tarot layout "The Jester's Way" can hardly be attributed to classical fortune-telling. It is done in a slightly different way. We do not lay out the cards according to a certain pattern, but we pull out several cards from the deck. But before proceeding with the fortune-telling procedure, it is worth telling in what situations it would be appropriate.

So, the “Way of the Fool” is a universal layout. It will help in matters of any subject, provided that a person wants to understand the events preceding the present and prospects for the future, as well as assess the place of the path in which he is now.

For fortune-telling, the Jester card is first removed from the deck and set aside. Then the deck needs to be shuffled, mentally thinking about the situation of interest, and then pull out arbitrary twelve cards closed. To these twelve cards, you need to add the postponed Jester, mix them together, and then lay them out in one continuous horizontal line. Turning the cards over, we look at where the Jester got to - this will be the place of a person in the development of the situation at the present moment in time. The cards before the Jester will tell about the events of the past related to the question, and those that lie after - about the events of the future.

Let's see how you can read the Way of the Jester Tarot layout. Suppose our client is a girl who can't seem to find a job she likes. She constantly rushes from place to place, but does not stay in any position for more than a few months: either she is not satisfied with the salary, or the schedule, or simply the duties seem too boring or, on the contrary, difficult. The girl is interested in when she will find her dream job.

Let's imagine that we did fortune-telling according to all the rules and from the cards we got the following line: Page of Swords, Two of Pentacles, Hermit, Three of Wands, Eight of Swords, Five of Cups, Jester, Four of Swords, Death, Five of Pentacles, Page of Cups, Eight of Pentacles , Star.

First, let's look at what the girl had in the past (before the Jester's card): apparently she received an education (Page of Swords), then rushed around with the choice of work (2 Pentacles), then went through a period of rethinking the situation (The Hermit), took the initiative for some new business (3 of Wands), but the work again did not satisfy her. The girl felt how this profession binds her hands and feet, does not give freedom, creativity (8 of Swords). She had to leave this position as well, which brought sadness, depression (5 Cups). In this state, she turned to us.

Now let's see what the cards say about her future and the likelihood of finding a job to her liking (cards after the Jester). There are as many cards ahead as there are behind - which means that the path to your dream job will be quite a long one. On this path, she will first have a period of forced rest, most likely the client will be out of work for some time (4 of Swords), then she will have to face the moment when something will need to be released, even though it will hurt (Death). Next, we see a period of lack of money (5 Pentacles), after which a sudden offer will arrive (Page of Cups). The girl will agree to him, start working, although at first it will seem to her that the work is rather monotonous, however, she will perform it masterfully (8 of Pentacles), and in the end, doing this business, she will find herself (Star).

The universal layout of the Tarot "Path" will help you decide how to behave in a difficult situation. It is usually used for career issues, love relationships, or personal growth. The alignment is carried out in the traditional way.
Questions that the Tarot fortune-telling “The Way” helps to find an answer to: what to do in the current situation, what lesson is to be learned from it, what feelings does the asker feel, what kind of thoughts are wandering in his head.

The value of the positions of the cards:

1. The essence of the here and now
2. Client's thoughts about what is happening
3. Emotions, feelings, emotional response to these events
4. Real human behavior
5. Desired human behavior to change the situation, what needs to be done to find a way out
6. Feelings that can be given free rein.
7. Life lesson to be learned by the questioner

An example of the Tarot layout "The Way"

Let's imagine that the Tarot layout "The Way" asked us to do a young man who can not figure out his relationship with his ex-wife. On the one hand, he still has feelings for her, but on the other hand, he is tormented by past grievances and he does not want to restore relations, although the girl herself does not mind resuming a love affair.
Suppose the following cards are dealt:

1. Lovers. A young man is faced with a serious choice related to personal relationships.
2. Two of Pentacles. His thoughts are chaotic, they are constantly changing. Today he thinks one thing, tomorrow - another
3. Eight of Wands. A man's feelings change as quickly as his thoughts. He himself cannot cope with them, does not understand what he really wants.
4. Jester. At the moment the client is behaving like a fool. Acting recklessly, stupidly
5. Six Swords. The cards advise him to go somewhere to put his feelings in order, to think about what he really wants. Being next to this woman, he will not be able to make the right decision - a change of scenery is necessary
6. King of Cups. The guy needs to get his emotions under control. Maybe he should seek advice from someone he trusts
7. Reversed Six of Cups. The deck clearly makes it clear that the life lesson will be this: the past must remain in the past. This needs to be recognized and accepted.

Tarot layout "Choosing the path"

If you are rushing between two fires, you don’t know what to do - one way or another, if you have two options and it’s not clear which one will be better, the Choice of Path Tarot layout will help you. Fortune telling can be used to consider a situation from any area of ​​life, the main thing is that a person has two options.

Sample questions to ask cards:

• To travel or not to travel?
• To move or not to move to another city?
• To sell or not to sell an apartment?
• Which boyfriend to choose: Vasya or Petya?
• Stay with your husband or leave?
• Should I have a baby now or wait a bit?
• Which faculty to enter: journalism or philology?

We shuffle the deck, thinking about the question, then we pull out seven arbitrary cards. The most important thing is to indicate before divination which option will be described by the top row of cards, and which one by the bottom. For example, for a question about choosing a boyfriend, the top row can mean Vasya, and the bottom row - Petya, for a situation with an apartment - the top one will mean a sale, the bottom one - a refusal to sell, etc.

The value of the positions of the cards:

• The top row (1, 3, 5) will show the development of events when choosing the first option
• Bottom row (2, 4, 6) - the development of events if the questioner prefers the second option
• 7 - a key card describing a situation that pushes a person to make a choice

An example of the layout "Choosing the path"

In order to understand the approximate interpretation of the cards, let's imagine that we make the Tarot layout “Choosing a Path” to a girl who cannot decide whether she and her husband should have a child now or postpone this issue for a year or two. The top row will symbolize the chronology of events if the client decides to get pregnant right now, the bottom row - if she takes care of procreation a little later.

Let's imagine that the following Arcana fell out:

• Top row: Justice reversed, Five of Pentacles, Four of Cups. It can be assumed that the decision not to postpone pregnancy until later will very soon seem wrong to the girl, as a result, the birth of a child will entail lack of money, lack of work and a state when everything is tired and you don’t want anything
• Bottom row: Three of Wands, Star, Sun. Postponing pregnancy for a couple of years, the client will have time to walk up, fulfill her dreams and eventually become a happy mother
• 7 card - Empress. It can be assumed that the girl is brought to the situation of choice by her mother, who, most likely, wants to quickly babysit her grandchildren. As you can see, the choice here is quite obvious.

Fortune telling, described in this article, it is recommended to take note of all novice tarologists, because very often clients come precisely in order to choose the right direction or to understand how the situation will develop depending on personal choice.

When studying Tarot cards, more than one book was used. Under the articles about the layouts, I will indicate the source / book from where the information was taken.

The “Path” layout in question answers the question “how should I behave further?” in all areas - in human relationships, at work, in the sense of old habits and in financial affairs, as well as in any life situation.

Technique:

1. Ask yourself somebody the question, the meaning of which should be as follows: what should I do in this situation? For example: “How should I behave with my boss tomorrow?” or “What should I do to find a new job? (apartment, life partner, etc.)”. Or: “How can I solve such and such a problem?”. The main thing is that the question should not sound abstract, like: “Will I ever have true love?”. If we ask about this, then the question should be formulated something like this: “What do I need to do in order for true love to come to me?”.

2. Use all 78 cards. Mix them well and fan them out in front of you (face down).

3. Now stop thinking about your question and draw out seven cards one by one with your left hand. Lay them side by side, but don't turn them over. And it does not matter whether you move your hand over the row for a long time, waiting until the hand feels tingling or warmth, or pull out all seven cards in a row at random. You may or may not close your eyes. Just do what your soul is more for now, do not force yourself. Just remember that you will need to open the cards in the same order in which you pulled them out.

4. Now start opening the cards one by one. Take the very first one - from the bottom, if you put them one on top of the other - and lay them out in the order indicated in the figure.

5. First position- the true essence of your question, your prospects in the current situation and what you can expect from it.

The remaining six cards show “how did you get to this life” ( positions 2, 3 and 4) and what should you do next ( positions 5, 6 and 7). And, since these paired cards correspond to the three planes of being, they can also be interpreted as an analysis of levels:

2 and 7 - mental level mind, consciousness, 3 and 6 - astral level, soul, emotions, 4 and 5 - physical layer, body, behavior in society. These values ​​are also given in the description of cards by position.

More precisely:

1 card. The most important thing. Show options and warn of dangers.

Left column:

2 map. Mind, consciousness, logical thinking. Representations, intentions, behavior patterns that a person “thinks up” for himself. rational explanation of the situation.

3 map. Subconsciousness, inclinations, desires coming "from the heart". Hopes and fears. Emotional explanation of the situation.

4 card. External. The way a person is perceived by others, his "facade".

Right column:

7 map. Awareness of the situation. Advice on how to think it over and draw conclusions.

6 map. subconscious impulses. Advice on what emotions to follow.

5 map. External. How you should behave with others.

6. Knowing the meanings of the cards, try to connect them together, get yourself a big picture. Ignore the seeming contradictions, but try to penetrate deeper. The cards often indicate a discrepancy between your feelings (positions 3 and 6) and thoughts (positions 2 and 7) or that we are doing something completely different (positions 4 and 5) from our true "I".

7. Keep a diary and note in it both the question and the cards that fell out in response to it in order to return to them two to three weeks later and analyze the situation again. This, by the way, helps a lot to understand the meaning of both the cards themselves and your questions to them. Be sure to leave space in your diary for such follow-up remarks.

In the Banzhaf book, each card, according to a certain position in which it ended up, corresponds to a certain interpretation, therefore, if this is interesting and important to you, you can look at them in the book.

I prefer to start from my knowledge of the cards and interpret them from myself, simply understanding that there are positions of consciousness, but there are positions of emotions, etc.

Which is better, which is better, I do not presume to judge. I will only say that it is easier for me, and in this way, as it seems to me, I become closer to the cards.
