==Capabilities==
User can employ cartomancy, the use of normal deck of cards or tarot cards to gain insight into the past, current and possible future situations of the subject. One of the benefits of cartomancy is its versatility. Different types of card decks can be used to gain insight into different aspects of life. For example, playing cards are often used for financial and career readings, while oracle cards may be used for more spiritual or personal growth readings. Tarot is a type of divination that uses a deck of cards to gain insight into the past, present, and future. Tarot cards are typically decorated with a series of symbolic images and are used to tap into the subconscious mind in order to gain insight and guidance on a variety of topics. Tarot readings can provide insight into everything from love and relationships to career and life purpose.
Tarot decks typically consist of 78 cards, each with its own unique symbolism and meaning. The deck is divided into two categories: the Major Arcana, which consists of 22 cards representing major life themes and archetypes, and the Minor Arcana, which consists of 56 cards representing everyday experiences and challenges. While tarot readings are often associated with fortune-telling and predicting the future, many practitioners view tarot as a tool for personal growth and self-discovery. Tarot readings can provide insight into the subconscious mind and can help individuals to uncover hidden fears, desires, and motivations.
