Almost everyone who consults the Tarot wants to know about relationships - whether it is a relationship with a lover, a friend, a relation or a colleague. They want to know what the future holds, what are our chances of success and whether we should just give up and move on. The Tarot is a marvellous tool for this sort of divination - it can help to assess current situations or future events with accuracy and its 78 cards allow it to cover an amazing variety of possibilities. This text reveals the secrets behind each card. The sun card, for example, is a sign of tremendous joy to come, while the six of swords suggests that difficult times will soon be over. With sample readings using both classic "spreads" and new arrangements, this text should help the reader through good times and bad, enabling them to see a situation in its true light and make the most of their opportunities.

She trained as a healer at the College of Psychic Studies in London and has completed the first stage of the Bach Flower Remedies training. She teaches astrology at the London School of Astrology, and has also lectured abroad on astrology and tarot.
I really enjoyed this as my first entry-level companion when I started learning about tarot - it was well organized, with manageable chunks of information to digest at regular intervals. I've graduated onto 'better' books and authors in tarot, but I will always be grateful for Jane's how-to that got me started.
