Let's face it: to have a real, live person read the cards for you is a unique, precious experience.

When the reader is a friend or someone you trust, there is a lot you can learn from a tarot spread and the cards seem to really help you put order in your thoughts and focus on the problems you encounter in everyday life.

The tarot experience can be very special if the inquirer and the reader are able to communicate freely and are on the same wavelength.

When you can establish a free flow of emotions and ideas, the tarot card interpretation comes easily.

Your friend knows your situation, is in tune with you and with his or her knowledge and intuition helps you with the tarot card interpretation.

The exchange is beneficial for both, the reader can discover unsuspected intuitive faculties and the inquirer will benefit with help in problem analysis, decision clarification and even spiritual growth.

Learning to read tarot cards for yourself is even better. You'll be able to do it anywhere and anytime you need a moment of meditation, self-understanding and reflection.

Suddenly the meaning of each tarot card becomes clear, the universal symbols on the cards come to life and you are able to see and analyze your situation clearly.

A tarot card reading done for yourself has the great advantage that you can do it anytime you feel the need of a pause of reflection.

Also, putting aside some time for a quiet reading has the added bonus of offering yourself an invaluable moment of reflection and meditation.

You are giving yourself the present of a precious time for reflection and in time you'll develop your intuitive abilities.

With a good reading you can put things into perspective and even the simple fact that you put a special time aside to meditate is extremely beneficial, it can give you surprising insight to your situation and ultimately can become a moment of enlightenment.

Touching and shuffling the cards helps the reader find his or her concentration and all the little rituals help the right mood for meditation.

The virtual tarot skips all these important steps but... it's fun!

I must admit that I find virtual tarot on line captivating because, coming from a source completely outside your control, it offers the mysterious fascination of an oracle.

It is also a great way to start learning the meaning of tarot cards, in fact, doing it often you'll become familiar with the interpretation of each card and you will be able to use these notions in your own readings.

My advice? Don't take it too seriously and have fun!
