What is Tarot for?

Keeping in mind the idea that Tarot is a framework of symbols, it is easy to see that it basically works as a representation of situations or people. In the forecasting approach, it serves to predict the future, analyze past events and evaluate what is at stake in the present, but always depending on the context in which it is used. The orientation approach, on the other hand, analyzes the cardsassociating them with stages we are in at a certain moment and how we can solve problems, take the right actions, and enjoy what is important.

Reading the Tarot is to project what we want to know about a moment, situation or person, representing the object and defining its course or the most prudent attitude towards it.
