“Ultimately, at its source, the tarot deck is a tool to help you better understand yourself.”
According to Pillai, a common error tarot beginners make is picking up a deck and immediately attempting to derive meaning using what's called "the little white book" that's included in the box with the cards.
Pillai associates cups with water energy and the water astrological signs, which typically speak to emotions and feelings; wands with fire energy and fire signs and in turn passion, creativity and taking action in everyday life; swords with air energy, air signs and also thoughts and perspectives; and pentacles with earth energy, earth signs as well as the material world and how we go about our day-to-day lives.
In addition to the suit cards, which Pillai says generally provide guidance for everyday living, there are 22 major arcana cards. "The major arcana is usually emblematic of bigger moments, bigger shifts in your life, like a-ha moments or gigantic shifts in perspectives that need to occur," he explained.
You can draw the cards yourself or, if you're comfortable, you can ask the person you're reading for to draw the cards. "A lot of people think, 'Oh, it's about fortune-telling,' or 'it's about knowing the future,' and 'Will he love me?' or 'Will she come back?' or 'Will I be rich?'" Pillai said. "It's less about that and more about a reflection of where you are currently at a moment in your life."
