First daily tarot exercise (Lesson No1) Expanded - Your first tarot reading - Once mastered upon shuffling the cards lay face down cut into three and 'instinctively place together again. From the top of the pack take three cards in order and lay face down in a row on the table. Turn over all three cards and from the right start to read - Card 1 = the situation. Card 2 = your best action Card 3 = the probable outcome should you take the action in card 2 and there you have it your first tarot reading, use it for questions and 'situations' it is probably the classic tarot reading and will serve you well when time is short or you wish simply to get straight to heart of things. –Good Luck:  Article/ by Richard Tarqine Munster
