Power Tarot: More Than 100 Spreads That Give Specific Answers to Your Most Important Questions

As someone who reads tarot in a professional sense (not for money mind you, but still professional), this book is a must. Though the book is advertised as a book of tarot spreads, the first and larger half of the book is dedicated to in depth tarot meanings. The authors Trish Macgregor and Phyllis Vega really do into great detail about the cards, dividing each one into “general”, “romance”, “work”, “health”, “spirituality”, “finances” and “empowerment”, so that when you read a card you don’t have to make your best guess for a certain subject. The Fool is a very different card when it comes to health than when it comes to romance.
There are a couple reviews on Amazon that cite this book as being something different than they expected. Though the book is advertised as a book of tarot spreads and to a degree it is a book of tarot spreads, the book is more about the actual cards. In the world of tarot, the spread is secondary to the cards themselves. To get a picture of your upcoming year, you don’t have to actually arrange your cards in a circle, even though every “year” spread is in a circle.
