I am a student of the Tarot, and people that I do readings for often say it is frighteningly accurate, even if I don't know anything about their history or circumstances. In a regular reading, the Seeker holds a question or subject in his mind while the cards tell about that subject. A Life Reading is different. It is not an answer to a question, but rather an overall view of a person's life. Twelve cards are layed out in a circle, and each card falls on a sign of the Zodiac. The cards are then interpreted according to where they fall. For instance, Gemini is the sign of communication and intelligence, therefore any card that lands on the Gemini spot will be interpreted as having to do with those chracteristics in the personality fo the Seeker.
