What's important when interpreting Tarot cards?

Of course, it's important to know the Tarot cards and their meanings. But to read the oracle correctly, more is needed. It requires the right mix of intuition, symbolic imagery, and the positioning of the cards. It is crucial in determining whether they can be assigned to the past, present, or future. At the same time, you must always consider the card combination when interpreting Tarot cards. Only then can you accurately reflect the unconscious.
