Tarot Reading is an activity of mysterious origin, and even though the meaning of individual cards is easily searchable on the internet or in your guidebook, only few of us know that it is also important to be aware of the meaning of the colors on your cards.
These colors can add layers of meaning to the cards as each of them bears a certain vibration. The following color meanings can provide you with other important information to identify the meaning of your tarot interpretation.
Soft and pastel colors often indicate energy that is being used gently and sometimes ineffectively, while dull and muddy colors usually indicate energy that is difficult to understand, sluggish, blocked, or challenging. Bright and clear colors tend to indicate energy that is flowing freely and supporting well-being in obvious ways, however, dark and clear colors often indicate energy that is being used intensely and sometimes too aggresively.
Last but not least, swirled colors or fades from one color to another can indicate energy that is multi-faced, changeable, or unsettled.
