Tarot how should I behave in order to. “The Path” - Modern fortune telling using tarot cards to identify the right path

SHARE

Sometimes each of us wants to radically change our own lives, but not everyone is able to suddenly change something like that, for example, go for permanent residence in another country, completely change the direction of professional activity, break off a relationship that has lasted many years. The “Path” Tarot layout was developed specifically to consider situations related to reaching a completely different level. The author of fortune telling is Alicia Chrzanowska. The alignment is suitable for people who are on the verge of global changes, who have already chosen a new direction, but have not yet taken the first steps along this path.

Scheme of the “Path” layout and interpretation of positions

In the “Path” layout, a full Tarot deck is usually used, but if desired, you can leave only the Major Arcana. Personally, I find it more convenient to use a set of 78 cards, since the appearance of Trump in a certain position immediately focuses attention on an area in which changes will be more global, important, and serious. The layout is carried out according to the diagram shown in the figure above.

Position meaning

• S - client signifier
• 1 - The direction he should choose for further movement
• 2 - What will the chosen path bring to a person?
• 3 - How will the closest people perceive the changes in the querent’s life?
• 4 - The influence of the chosen path on a person’s personal development
• 5 - The influence of the road he is going to take on his financial situation
• 6 - The attitude of the environment towards the changes that the querent wants to decide on
• 7 - Changes that need to be made in your own life. The map at this position can also show the necessary adjustments to the already selected direction
• 8 - Overall result, final result, what will the path the client wants to take lead to?

Let’s imagine that a woman who has crossed the threshold of her fiftieth birthday came to us for the “Path” layout. She worked hard all her life, survived the death of two husbands, and raised her children herself. Now the children have grown up and started their own families. And our heroine was faced with a choice: since childhood, she dreamed of moving away from the city, living in the countryside, doing housework, but circumstances did not allow it: she wanted her children to go to a city school, get a good education in prestigious universities, find a job, start own families. These plans have already been fulfilled, and now the woman is ready to realize her old dream: she wants to sell her spacious city apartment and dacha in order to buy a small house in the village, start a farm and live in the lap of nature, as she once dreamed of long ago. But our heroine doubts whether her children and acquaintances will approve of her choice. She is interested in whether such a decision would be too rash, since her age is no longer very young.

So, let’s assume that the “Path” Tarot layout in our case turned out as follows:

• S - I chose as a significator as an accomplished, economic woman.
• 1 - . In this position, the Arcanum of Death indicates that the past is really dying away, and the time has come to build a completely new life.
• 2 - . The card speaks of closeness to nature, complete harmony with oneself, and the realization of one’s “little woman’s dream.”
• 3 - . Since the closest people to our heroine are her children, I interpret this Tarot card as the help that relatives will provide. Children will not only accept their mother’s decision, but also, if possible, help in fulfilling her cherished desire.
• 4 - . A woman will feel happy and successful when she moves to the village and settles down there.

So, in this case, the “Path” Tarot layout showed that the decision to make such global changes was made correctly. Our client should not be afraid of new things, because life itself is already pushing her in the right direction. The chosen path will bring the fruits she dreamed of, but the fact that someone from her environment will consider her crazy is simply nonsense, the main thing is that those closest to her will support and help in difficult times.

This tarot card layout was proposed by Hayo Banzhaf, a German tarot specialist. It’s called “The Path” and answers the question: “How should I behave next?” in all areas - in human relationships, at work, as well as in any other life situation.

Tarot reading for choosing the Path

The Path layout is laid out like this:

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

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

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

Let us now take as an example a military man, that is, one who is currently in this honorable service to the Motherland, because they all have a lot in common, and the differences are rather insignificant. There is probably such a person among your loved ones, friends or acquaintances. Or maybe it’s you yourself (a man or a woman, it doesn’t matter.) True, with one caveat: it must be a career military man, because privates and non-commissioned officers, if they don’t stay in the army later, will develop the psychology of a military man can not get in time. We will then dedicate a separate Tarot card layout to our private guys.

So, the Tarot Path Spread:

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

Interpretation of the Path layout

1. The Nine of Swords in the first position is, oddly enough, advice to “keep your head down,” that is, not to stare the truth in the eyes of those who have more stars on their shoulder straps, and certainly not to organize collective actions—this will increase repression , but will not give results. This is also dangerous on a personal level, because the nervousness of the partner (husband - or, if you are in the military, then the wife) unsettles the other half, and family troubles begin. We need to calm down and tune in to the future.
2. Second position: The Devil (XV) says that you, as a military man, until very recently were devoted to a certain fixed idea (“defense of the Motherland,” family tradition, the desire to become a general), but now it has suffered a complete fiasco. Well, now it's time for you to reconsider it.
3. Valet Denariev: this card in the Tarot layout criticizes your passivity, but not the current one, but the past, when something could have been changed (1990, 1991, 1993). And now why wave your fists? Wait for the next moment.
4. King of Wands: you are a wonderful person, an optimist, they love you and hope for you, so do not deprive others of this hope! So what if you have periods of despair? These are the ones that need to be hidden and colleagues supported. A healthy start, it never died in the Russian Army. This is why you were put here by the Cosmos, to keep it. How else can you get rid of rot?
5. Advice: Justice (XI). Be fair within the limits of your competence, that is, in relation to those who are subordinate to you. Then, if necessary, they will follow you through fire and water. You never have to hide the truth from them, unlike your superiors.
6. Four of Swords in a Tarot reading about choosing a Path, as advice on what to do with your emotions: forget about emotions! Turn on your logical mind, give yourself time to think, go on vacation somewhere in the mountains or to the sea, and then your subconscious mind itself will give you advice on what and how to do next - in your specific situation.
7. Eight of Cups on the mental level: “Don’t look for happiness where there is none,” that is, don’t think about leaving the army: this is a way out for the weak, and who needs you there, in civilian life? It’s better to grit your teeth, endure it, wait another five years, and then the situation will finally begin to change on its own, and you will be able to take part in it.

The “Path of the Tarot” layout is practical and will help the fortuneteller find out whether he needs to make efforts in a particular area, opens up opportunities for seeing how best to act, as well as what should be changed in his situation.

At the same time, in fortune telling “The Way of the Tarot” one can consider almost any sphere of human activity: business, the sphere of relationships, work, education, and so on. In this material we will analyze in detail the features of this card layout.

You can use the “Way of the Tarot” fortune-telling in cases where you need advice or a hint on how best to act in the current circumstances.

You can ask the following types of questions:

• “What is the best way to act in the current circumstances?”;
• “What should be the tactics of my behavior to achieve some goal?”;
• “What actions should I take to solve this problem?”

It is important to formulate your question as correctly as possible regarding a specific situation. After all, only then with the help of cards will you be able to understand the strategy of your future behavior.

With this wonderful layout, you can simultaneously receive information on three levels: mental (level of mind, consciousness), astral (spiritual-emotional) and physical (body, strategy of behavior in society). Thanks to this, it becomes possible to correctly analyze the situation on all three planes of existence.

Using card fortune-telling “The Way of Tarot” you will receive from the cards information about the possibilities that will help you achieve a goal, how successful (or unsuccessful) your previous line of behavior was and how you should act in the future to achieve your goals and improve past mistakes.

It is very simple to complete the layout, but the process of interpreting the dropped cards is more problematic. But we will tell you about everything sequentially.

Rules for performing the layout and interpretation of the arcana

For this fortune telling, you should stock up on seven arcana, each of which has its own meaning:

• the first one will reveal the deep meaning hidden in your question and help protect yourself from various dangers;
• three arcana in the left pile of cards will tell you about those actions and decisions that provoked the current state of affairs;
• Using the three arcana in the right pile, you can get recommendations regarding your future behavior and learn how to protect yourself from making old mistakes.

You need to take a deep breath, exhale, calm down and ask a question to the deck of cards in your thoughts. The cards are laid out face down on the table. They must be carefully mixed, and then any seven cards must be removed from the deck at random and turned over.

Interpretation of cards in the “Path” layout

• The first card is a significator; it will provide the answer to the question of whether the fortuneteller now needs to strive to achieve success on the issue that concerns him. If the lasso has a negative meaning, you should give up your attempts. Although, of course, this does not mean at all that you, in principle, will not be able to get what you want, it’s just that, most likely, the time has not yet come for this.
• Along the left vertical line of fortune telling, which is formed by positions 2, 3 and 4, you will learn about the fortuneteller’s real attitude to the question and how the people around him now perceive him.
• And along the right vertical line formed by the 7th, 6th and 5th cards, the questioner will understand how he should perceive his question and how other people will begin to perceive it if he can change himself by listening to the recommendations of the layout.

These two lines are symmetrical relative to each other. When interpreting the “Path” layout, you need to compare the arcana that are opposite.

• Based on the second card, you will learn about the fortuneteller’s current conscious attitude towards his problem, his thoughts on this matter. The second card is compared with the seventh and tells how a person should approach his problem in order to achieve success.
• Using the third card, you can find out about the fortuneteller’s current feelings regarding his problem, as well as his emotional perception of what is happening. The 3rd lasso is compared with the 6th, which in turn will tell about the feelings that the questioner must experience in relation to the question posed in order to successfully resolve it.
• What remains are the 4th and 5th arcana, which reveal the peculiarities of the current perception of the fortuneteller by the people around him and what appearance he will have in their eyes if his attitude and actions change, if he listens to the recommendations of the alignment and begins to approach life differently. to another and act differently.

First, they always begin to interpret the main 1st card. It was already mentioned above that it is she who will tell you about future prospects, and will also tell you whether your enterprise will be successful. When this card appears in a not very favorable position, most likely it means that the goal cannot be achieved at all, or at least now. Then you need to postpone the fortune telling procedure until better times.

Drawing a successful 1st card indicates easy achievement of your goal or can tell you about the changes that will be required of you. At the same time, in the process of interpretation, special attention should be paid to the meaning of the sixth lasso, which will tell about the specific actions that a person will need to perform.

Example of the Path of Tarot layout

It should be noted that although only 7 cards are used in this fortune-telling, it is not quite simple, because both groups of arcana (Elders together with the Younger) should be used in it.

Now, using a specific example of a military man serving his Motherland, we will consider the implementation of the described scenario. It is likely that you may know such people among your acquaintances, and it is possible that you yourself are involved in military affairs. The only nuance that needs to be given special attention in this case is that the alignment is suitable exclusively for career military personnel, since privates and non-commissioned officers, if they quickly leave the army, do not have the psychology of military people.

Let's say you performed the “Path” layout on Tarot cards and you received the following cards in the following positions:

• in 1st position - 9 Swords;
• on the 2nd - the Devil;
• on the 3rd - Jack of Coins;
• on the 4th - the King of Wands;
• on the 5th - Justice;
• on the 6th - 4 Swords;
• and on the last, 7th - 8 Cups.

Now let's look at the meaning of each of these cards in this specific example:

• 9 of Swords - gives a recommendation to “not be active,” which means not to express everything you think to those who have a larger number of stars on their shoulder straps. Refuse from any collective actions, as they will cause increased repression, which, however, will be ineffective. Another danger in this case is that you will charge your significant other with your nervousness, which in turn will lead to various family troubles. So for now, just calm down and look forward to a better future.
• Devil - this lasso in the 2nd position will tell you that you have been pursuing some fixed idea until the last moment, and now you are faced with complete failure. The devil advises you to reconsider your position once again.
• Jack of Coins - criticizes your passive behavior in the past when you could make changes in the situation. And now is the time for pause and delay, we need to wait it out.
• The King of Wands characterizes a wonderful person, an optimist who evokes universal sympathy and hope in others. It is important for you not to deprive others of this hope and to provide them with all possible support.
• Fairness - act fairly towards your subordinates, this will help you earn high authority with them. Always tell them the truth, unlike your bosses.
• 4 of Swords - now you need to completely forget about your emotions! Give free rein to your logical mind and think carefully about what is happening. The best way to do this is to go out into nature, where you are more likely to receive the right hint from your subconscious.
• 8 of Cups - gives the following advice to the fortuneteller: “You don’t need to look for happiness where there is none,” and more specifically, it advises under no circumstances to refuse to serve in the army, since only weak-willed people do this. It would be more correct to overcome yourself and endure, then the situation will sooner or later begin to change for the better.

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

So, the questioner can receive the answer from the cards about what capabilities he has to achieve his goal, how successfully he has acted so far, what he needs to do in the future in order to achieve his goal, and even correct the mistakes of the past. The Path unfolds very simply. However, interpreting the drawn cards is much more difficult. But everything is in order.

Card meanings

1 - main. Its meaning is “the essence 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 map shows how the questioner understands the essence of the matter;

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

3) card 4 shows the public response to the questioner’s actions on this issue.

7, 6 and 5 (right column) are a reflection of what needs to be done in the future to achieve the goal set by the person. However, the cards in 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 dropped cards of the layout, you need to start with the main card 1. Using its analysis, you need to understand what the prospects of your enterprise are, whether the business you have 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 move on to analyzing the columns to determine whether you are moving correctly towards your goal or what adjustments need to be made. To do this, you need to consider the ratio of cards located in the same row: 2 and 7, 3 and 6, 4 and 5.
