Lesson 5: How to Interpret Card Combinations
Hello and welcome!
Today’s video is Lesson #5 in our series, “How to Read Tarot Cards | Tarot 101”.
In this lesson, we’ll explore how to interpret not just one card, but several cards at one time (combinations) by using a simple formula.
My name is Christina and I am an intuitive tarot reader. I post mainly Pick a Card Readings here on my channel. This series will cover everything that I’ve learned as a tarot reader through a few different books and websites (listed below), but mostly through my own practice and experience.
If you are new to my channel, feel free to check out my Pick-a-Card general tarot readings!
Thank you for being here ^_^

I really appreciate these free lessons! Coming from a reader I respect even. I watched all the lessons, I hope to see more in the future!

[@vikak827]

Hi 👋 can you please continue with the lessons!!!! You are the only teacher of tarot I understand and able to learn from. One of the most troubling concepts in the tarot is how to create a narrative or any kind of storyline that makes sence because there are several meanings for each card. Can you please 🙏 continue expanding on how to interpret the cards such as court cards and major arcana and how to create a narrative when combining the tarot! Thank you so much for your dedication 🙏 ❤️

[@FireflyTarot]

I am trying to figure out the videos because I've been very depleted so after I take a break in February I'll see what happens :)

[@amarii8084]

16:47 Chariot + Knight of Swords - 4 of cups (including two of Pentaclesand two of swords): The querent is on a journey to moving on to bigger and better things for them, however i do sense there could be some issues where they may be backtracked themselves back to being in this energy of them not openeing themselves up to what life has in store for them. The querent must remember to think rationally when it comes to the decisions they make, every decision you make has its effects on how you will proceed in the future. I also see this as a situation where the querent must be dealing with 2 people or more there could be a need to make an important decision rather or not who this querent wants to move forward with and who to leave behind. This situation has gotten the querent stuck and even has gotten them to procrastinate on what to do, or make decisions that are unhealthy and irrational.

[@Regmuslima]

will definitely be giving this a watch when it's a bit safer for me to do so. Thank you so much for uploading, I've been working on tapping into my intuition more as of late and have a few decks that I use. But I don't use my traditional tarot as much because it feels like I should save it for more important questions and when I'm not as distracted compared to when I use my oracle decks (also temporarily displaced so I'm back home and my mother made it very clear she'll trash my spiritual/magical items if she finds out I'm using them and she's home quite often so being careful and respecting her wishes) . Lately I've been slippin though so trying to tap back in

[@FireflyTarot]

I'm very sorry you have to go through this. I pray you will soon have a safe space to practice and express your spirituality, as it is a beautiful gift. If it helps, you can also use regular playing cards for now to practice (they just won't include major arcana except the joker which is the fool), but the 4 suits are present (clubs = wands, hearts=cups, diamonds =pentacles and spades=swords). Playing cards are harmless to most, right? 😅

[@fernandamccormack]

Hi. My aunt used to read with ordinary cards. You can for example put a tiny dot at a number card for example, get a two of any suit and make that one the high priestess. Thats just an idea. Hope things change for the better soon.xx

[@Clearsignalwellness]

Keep those babies safe! I feel your pain though, my hubby isn’t too privy to me reading cards so I do it when he’s not here to avoid making him uncomfortable.

[@soulrisereiki9943]

Yay!!! Thank you so much for posting another one of these. 🙏

[@fierytemperance]

Loved this ! These are so so helpful!

[@brendat4258]

[@fernandamccormack]

Thank you. I 've been learning a lot!!

[@soulrisereiki9943]

Now that I’ve watched it… thank you again. Every one of these videos is so good. You’re a great teacher. Also, I can’t wait for the court card video because they stump me nearly every time. Thanks again!

[@FireflyTarot]

Thank you so much! And yes, hopefully soon 😄😄

[@TanyaLilac]

Thanks for this! Hanged man X 4 of pentacles: letting go of stubbornness or letting go of over valuing 'material' things, or a scarcity mindset. Love the idea of a court cards lesson! If you ever get back into the tarot 101 series, can you please do a video on how to phrase difficult messages in readings for other people? E.g., I once did a reading which indicated likely that a relationship for the querent was not going to end well (and ultimately ended up being narcissistic abuse) based on a fundamental breakdown in values and relationship goals (tower and 2 of cups reversed) but I had no idea how to convey the message without being irresponsible (e.g., telling them to break up immediately because they were still in 4 of wands / honeymoon stage)

[@reneehomco3207]

[@amarii8084]

6:01 Hanged Man + 5 of cups: The querent needs to let go and release their attachment to a situation, relationship or person that is no longer serving them at this point. This person is stuck on the 3 cups that have spillled over but is not paying attention to the two cups that are still up, this could be someone who is dwelling on an old connection or relationship with someone that did not work out and they are still wondering why didn't it work out? The querent has to develop a new understanding of what is the truth about the situation, connection/relationship instead of only catering to what they want to believe about what they are feeling. If the querent wastes too much time on the past, on what didn't work out, why things ended the way they did and why things were ruined they will lose sight of whats yet to come and will regret it.

[@amarii8084]

19:52 Page of Swords + King of Wands: This combination tells me that to always remain aware of what is going on with you and around you, if there is something chaotic or something that has you feeling uneasy there is a time and place to take action and do something about it, if you know something is wrong its up to you especially if you are in a situation where either you are doing someone wrong or someone is doing you wrong it is up to you to correct and solve the issue before things gets out of hand. Be ready for what this journey will prepeare you for, open your eyes and be alert to what is being shown to you and be the one to lead yourself in the right direction.

[@Melis30534]

Wow someone recommended you on a Facebook spiritual group! You are amazing! I don’t have to look anywhere else, this is my learning & exploring channel ❤️

[@FireflyTarot]

Lovely to hear! 😊😊🙏🙏

[@cindylam32]

this is a very useful lesson. thank ypu very much♡🔥❤😊🙏

[@KarensKorner]

Nothing was confusing, but, I would still like to see another video going over card combinations

[@FireflyTarot]

What kinds of questions or ideas should I cover?

[@KarensKorner]

@@FireflyTarot what you did today was awesome. Just putting different cards together and going over what they can mean together. I personally think the combining the meaning to get the flow of the message is the hardest part. Some generalized questions might be, spirit, will gas prices go down in the next year? Will the united States ever land on Mars? Can dolphins understand humans? I was trying to thing of light, non controversial type questions.

[@LoriTriesLife]

Just stopping the video at Hanged Man + 9 of Swords. See, to me, I would ask more questions, pull more cards bc I would interpret that as this new view or perspective is causing her a great deal of anxiety. Maybe she is stuck in martyrdom. Will keep watching. I like this! 👍

[@FireflyTarot]

👌👌

[@elizandrolorensi6571]

this class coudn't be clearer than it was, in fact it was as clear as the page of swords itself...Thanks a lot again Cristina!! Greetings all the way from Brazil!!

[@FireflyTarot]

Well said 😂, thank you!

[@liuyun1856]

8:05 Reminds me of people during the pandemic over the last year. People literally got "hung up" not only mentally\emotionally but also physically, being restricted from going out and pursuing activities they wanted to do. And because The Hanged Man don't know when this hardship would be over, they stored extra foods\paper towels at home and saved money in case things got worse. Business owners became more conservative on their planing as well, expecting a lingering period of winter awaiting ahead.

[@FireflyTarot]

Yes, great example/interpretation!

[@Tarotbynancy]

❤

[@ColourwithClaire]

I thought the hanged man plus 9 of swords could be feeling like you’re “stuck” in anxiety

[@ori9278]

I have a question. For example 8 of cups and the tower. You said that “it is time to move forward from chaos”. I would read this as in the past it was time to move forward and now the tower is happening since it is in a present position. What do you think?

[@gloriam8493]

which of these cards are the "strongest" in the reading of the present energies of two people, each separate in one reading, not together: lovers, two of cups, six of cups, or ace of cups... what cards represent the most love? that answer always intrigued me, cause I know they all are strong cards.. Ty :)

[@FireflyTarot]

For me it is The Lovers card usually but again it depends on what you feel 😊

[@lili-anne4858]

Greetings from Shanghai! I have a request if I may. Will it be possible to use only the Major Arcana for pairing cards in another episode, please? I guess most beginners like me start learning the major. I tried to interpret the card combinations drawn but it was difficult. I know that in your first episode you mention about interpreting the images of what we see first, but this didnt work that well when the minor arcana was added. Also, does the meaning change if a card is left or right from another? Thanks in advance!!!!! Love your channel!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FireflyTarot]

I'll do some follow-up for this in the next video using Major Arcana :). As for the question of left or right, for me it doesn't usually matter but as always it depends on your intuition. As a rule of thumb, here's what I suggest: if the card is to the right, it may indicate future. If you see it more towards the left, it may speak of the past. 8 of cups example: if the Lovers card ends up on the right side, maybe it's saying to move on from a present or future relationship. If it's on the left, maybe it's saying that the person has already moved on from a past relationship? However, if you view them as equal or the same energy, you can just interpret them both together like how I did in the video. Best of luck!

[@TheSkyhazFallen]

Letting go of scarcity or miserly mindset. He looks like he's squeezing the juice out of that pentacle.

[@rrkk6108]

Hanged man + 4 of pen = let go of control issues .... Let go of possesivness ... Let go of being stubborn ... Be ease at peace .. let go of worry ... Last spread .. getting clearity of shifting location but multiple things r running on head ... Or getting clearity in should I stay or move on to different location ..... Mam teach us how to mk story wd context.... When we says that u already know the answer ... When we says that u r planning smthng .... When we says that u made a haste decision .... In what contest we says that ... Which cards shows that.... Mam when we says that listen to ur intution ... How to know the result ll b positive or negative ...

[@rrkk6108]
