Tarot Combinations
Tarot Combinations
Just a little heads-up: for some cards the “weak” combinations merely mean that the
card’s power gets nullified or doesn’t have much power over the others according to the book I
read. In other occasions weak means a harmful tarot reading to the person, but since it’s better to
leave this as simple as possible I didn’t make an extra tag for those and I just put those harmful
combinations in “weak” instead. Likewise, sometimes the strength of the card depends whether it
comes before or after the card it gets combined with, but that would make stuff more complicated
for the post so I decided to skip those specifications. I wonder if it’s worthy or not to make these
disclaimers in the post?
Also, inverted means that the card is upside down.
