A tarot reader is a person who uses a deck of tarot cards to provide insights and guidance about a person's life, decisions, or future. Each card in the deck has specific meanings and symbolism, which the reader interprets based on the context of the question or situation presented by the client. During a reading, the tarot reader may shuffle the cards and lay them out in a specific pattern, known as a spread. The arrangement of the cards helps the reader to analyze the energies and influences surrounding the individual, offering a unique perspective on their circumstances.
