Tarot has its own little language, and getting to know it can make your readings feel a lot more confident and fun. Here are a few key words to keep in mind:
🃏 Querent – the person asking the question, often you in a personal reading.
🪄 Spread – the layout of cards for a reading. Each position has meaning.
🔮 Reversed – a card that appears upside-down, which can modify or deepen its meaning.
✨ Significator – a card chosen to represent the querent or the topic of the reading.
🌀 Pips – the numbered cards in the Minor Arcana (like the Three of Cups or Seven of Swords).
🎨 Court cards – Pages, Knights, Queens, and Kings, often representing people, personalities, or aspects of self.
Want to play a little game? Pull a single card from your deck and try to spot it in today’s reading using one of these words. Is it the querent, a court card, or maybe a reversed card adding extra nuance? Small exercises like this can help you get familiar with tarot’s language in a fun, hands-on way.
💭 Are there any tarot terms that made you go “aha!” when you first learned them - or that you still love using today?
