The Big Book
of Tarot Meanings
Find precise answers to your urgent questions — The Big Book of Tarot Meanings takes you beyond typical, generic card meanings by breaking each card down into eight interpretation categories.
About the Book
Interpreting card meanings is the most exciting aspect of reading tarot. However, it is also the most challenging, especially if you are new to the art. For example, basic tarot interpretation would have you understand that The Lovers card has to do with relationships—but what if your question had to do with career or health? How are you left to interpret the meaning?
The Big Book of Tarot Meanings solves these dilemmas by breaking down each card into the eight most-queried categories, starting with Beginnings and ending with Outcome, with a meaning for each category, upright and reversed. No longer will you have to vaguely extrapolate meaning and insight for diverse questions from the same generic description often given in other beginner tarot books.
In addition to providing fine-tuned interpretations, The Big Book of Tarot Meanings solves a second common question that comes with a tarot reading—How do I apply this knowledge to my everyday life?—by giving you an action item for each meaning, upright and reversed.
“Beautifully illustrated, accessibly comprehensive, informed and informative, The Big Book of Tarot Meanings provides an ideal introduction to the science and art of Tarot reading.”
A summary of what this comprehensive tarot meaning book offers:
A welcoming introduction to the basics of tarot and instructions for using the book
Meanings for all 78 cards of the Major and Minor Arcana, with the various interpretations for each card organized into eight categories—Beginnings, Career, Money, Love, Friends & Family, Health, Higher Guidance, and Outcome—both upright and reversed
An action item for every meaning, upright and reversed, to give you clear tools to work with and steps to take to move forward in the most aligned way
With The Big Book of Tarot Meanings, you’ll never struggle again to know how the cards are answering you.

The MUST HAVE Tarot Book!
Sam’s ‘Big Book of Tarot Meanings’ is everything you could want from a tarot book.
Firstly, the aesthetics and layout of the book are so ideal it is as if the author was reading my mind! The size of the book, font and page colour changes are spot on. In all, it is really a beautiful and also user-friendly book.
Now onto the content!
There is so much detail given for each of the cards but it is all done in a way that you are the reader still and get to make your own interpretation. It really is a guide in the truest sense.
This book is one of my favourite purchases of this year, I have used it so much already and has helped my learning of tarot.

Very Informative Book
of Tarot Meanings
This book is amazing. You can tell the author put a lot of work into it. The book is beautiful to look at but also jam packed with information. Each card has been interpreted in many different ways based on the type of reading (beginnings, career, money, love, friends and family, health, higher guidance, and outcome) including reverse meanings for all categories too. The pictures included for each card are of the Rider-Waite deck but can be used with any other deck. This book has helped me learn new meanings for each card other than the obvious ones. I love it.

This Has to be One of
the Best Guidebooks
on the Tarot That I
have Ever Read
Very detailed, organized and approachable. I actually had fun reading this one, because the author's personality invariably shines through the text. Exclamations such as "Oooh la la!" often had me chuckling appreciatively. The Tarot can be an intimidating, complex study, but it is not all doom and gloom, as this very gifted author has just proven. This is definitely a reference shelf keeper, and the easiest reference manual to serve as a guide for the amateur (and not so amateur) reader.
I bought my own reference copy, it was that good.
