How to Work with Tarot Cards that Throw You for a Loop (Cards that Show Up in Weird Positions in a Spread)

These are the tips and ways that I read tarot cards that appear in weird positions when working with a set spread. These cards may throw you for a loop, but looking at them in new ways can give you powerful, honest, and beautiful readings. 

Tips:

1. Don't create good/bad tarot opinions. All tarot cards have the capacity for light and shadow
2. Use the spectrum of the card to help provide a movable narrative
   1. active/passive, light/shadow, in balance/out of balance, starts/stops
   2. See where the card shows up in the real world
3. See where the card resides in the tarot deck, and which part of the deck it is (Major Arcana, Minor Arcana, Court Cards)
4. Look at the ways the cards interact with each other
5. Break down the card into the symbolism
6. Remember that the tool is not here to tell you what you want to hear.

We also discuss working with a deck that resonates and seeing some potential pitfalls with more minimalistic decks.
