The Magic Square tarot, the most powerful of them all

If you are a little resourceful, you can find many ways to seek advice when doubt sets in and you are waiting for a strong answer to move forward in a situation that feels somewhat stuck. There is, of course, advice from friends, even if it is not always easy to involve a loved one in our own affairs. You can also flip a coin heads or tails; it may seem trivial, but it has the merit of being effective. Then there is consulting horoscopes, which some people still enjoy just as much.

But for the more curious, there are psychic readings, of which the Magic Square tarot card reading is one.

What is the Magic Square tarot?

In the intriguing world of fortune-telling, the divinatory art of being able to predict a person’s future, there are various practices such as palm reading, the visions glimpsed in a crystal ball, and the interpretation of the cards of a tarot deck. The latter, known as tarot reading, encompasses many spreads that are all different from one another, even though they all share the ultimate ability to answer the questions that sow doubt in our minds.

Among them, the divinatory spread of the Magic Square tarot is without doubt one of the most powerful. Performed with the cards of a Tarot of Marseille deck, which are laid out in the shape of a square, this spread reveals to the querent essential information about their past, present and future, in order to guide them as best as possible along their destiny. It is through the interpretation of the cards, and above all the 22 major arcana known as trumps, that the person concerned will be able to find one or more answers to a question they have asked.

Quite close to the cross spread, the Magic Square tarot is therefore a valuable aid for easing a certain doubt in the face of a specific and personal situation. Indeed, its advice will be of no use if you use it to answer questions concerning someone other than yourself.

Unlike other spreads that are very focused on a specific theme, this one has the particularity of being able to address subjects as different and varied as love, health, family, work and money. It is worth noting that many spreads can now be done online.

How does a Magic Square tarot reading work?

After shuffling your 22 major arcana, you will draw 9 from the deck and lay them out, face down, on a flat surface, in the shape of a square. That is, you will form 3 rows of 3 cards each. Laid out in this way, the 9 cards represent the journey of your life. The uniqueness of this Magic Square tarot lies in the fact that it is read vertically.

Thus, the cards are read through the 3 columns they form. The first of these columns, the one placed furthest to the left, represents your past. The second stands for your present. As for the third, it of course embodies your future.

Within each of these columns, every card has its own meaning depending on where it is placed. You must therefore take care to read them in order, that is to say from top to bottom, in order to interpret them as accurately as possible. The cards on the 1^st row indicate all the elements favourable to the rest of your journey. The cards placed on the second row, on the contrary, indicate all the negative elements.

As for the cards belonging to the 3^rd row, they are the synthesis of those found on the previous rows. It should be noted that this Magic Square tarot spread exists in a wider version that is done with 16 cards placed according to the same principle.

In this case, the 3^rd column represents the near future, while the 4^th represents the querent’s more distant future.

Why do a Magic Square tarot reading?

There is no sign of magic when performing a divinatory reading in tarot reading. Indeed, the reading and then the interpretation of the cards are nowadays of a pragmatic nature. And while some spreads are strongly influenced by astrology, the movement of the planets and the phases of the moon, they remain no less highly rational.

It is important to understand that a reading can help a person take a kind of stock of their life path in order to better envision the future. And that it can also give valuable advice in the face of a given situation that could sow great doubts in that same person’s mind.

In the case of the Magic Square tarot, it can help you develop favourably in the areas closest to your heart and serve as a guide for the rest of your journey. Each of the cards and its interpretation during a reading is an essential piece of your life, which, once all assembled, form what you truly are, now and later, in your destiny.
