Sometimes tarot readings are amazingly smooth and clear. Other times readers can find themselves a bit at a loss for words. When reading for a friend or a client we sometimes wonder “How can I best help this person?” or “What does this person need to know?”

Sometimes we see a particular card that just doesn’t seem to fit into the story and we wonder “What does the Ten of Swords mean here?” or “In what context should I interpret the Six of Pentacles in this reading?’

When you find yourself in such a reading, wondering what to do, try this technique.

These days many people are unemployed. It seems like everyone is looking for a job. It also seems like jobs are few and far between, and the competition is stiff.

Why not use tarot to get the edge you need? There are many tarot cards that can help you get a new job or a promotion. There are also cards that can help you be more articulate in an interview or can help you stick in the mind of the interviewer long after the interview is over.

You may meditate with these cards, or keep them on your altar. You may print out these images and hang them on your wall.

There are numerous ways it can happen that you are not reading with a full deck. Sometimes it is completely accidental. It’s happen a couple of times over the past twenty years that I’ve gone through a day of readings and discovered that, at some point, a card has fallen to the floor unnoticed. Since the readings all went well I didn’t worry about it, figuring the gods of tarot wanted it that way. I picked up the card and shuffled it back in.

I just saw a post in a social media tarot group that asked a fascinating question; one I had thought about but had never put into words.

The question was essentially this. There are many tarot cards that predict and describe new things – the Aces, the Fool, The Magician, the Wheel of Fortune and Judgment, to name only a few. What these cards have in common is their reference to something new. But, the poster wanted to know, how are they different one from another?

Here are some of my thoughts about tarot cards that speak of new things.

I always pay attention to synchronicity, so when I found myself thinking and talking about psychometry twice in one week I figured I should pay attention.

The first instance was talking with a person who was telling me that she could "read stuff" by touch. To her, this seemed a little weird. I explained that this is called psychometry, and is a wonderful psychic gift.
