Being a beginner in reading Tarot Rider-Waite Tarot cards are the ones you should be starting with. By far the Tarot Rider-Waite Tarot cards are the favorite and most popular out of all. These cards represent very precise symbolism thus making them much simpler for the beginner. The Tarot Rider-Waite Tarot cards also use various colors to make the symbols easier to read. These cards are built for beginning readers to make it easier for them to get started in card reading.

The deck is a standard 78-card Tarot deck. There are 22 cards in the Major Arcana. These cards include the Hierophant, the High Priestess, the Magician, the Fool, Death, and the Hangman, among others.

The remaining 56 Rider-Waite Tarot Cards constitute the Minor Arcana. There are four suits (Wands, Pentacles, Cups and Swords) of fourteen cards each. Each card in both the Major and Minor Arcana has a meaning. The cards have a different meaning if the cards are inverted " often the opposite, but not necessarily.

Certain layouts are needed to help you learn to read the cards. Some will tell you where you are at and whether you will be passing good or bad. Another shows your influence on the present and future. It seems that beginners find the Celtic Cross to be the easiest layout to use.

Practice makes perfect and thats also true with the Rider-Waite Tarot cards. You need to be convinced that you are getting the desired results. You must be happy with the results of the layout. Pick a simple question and dont move to the next one until you are fully satisfied you are getting the right answers. At first you should keep away from yes and no questions and stick to questions that lead to a certain direction.
