How to Choose & Use a Significator Card | Tarot Cards Video Lecture | Tarot Reading: Read Tarot Cards to know all the Answers - Professional Skills

hello I'm Ellen Goldberg and I welcome
you to this taro moment from the school
of Oracle's this segment is on how to
choose a significant for yourself when
you're doing a reading a significant is
the card that you use to announce
yourself to the Tarot to and it's also
the card you concentrate on for a good
part of the shuffling process because
the tarot is going to talk to you and it
wants to know who you are and the
significant announces yourself there are
so many ways to choose a significant
that in one sense you really can't go
wrong but I'm going to give you my
advice some people choose pages for
youth they are traditionally associated
with youth nights for young adulthood
queens for the full flowering of
adulthood and Kings for age I myself
would never do that but it is done other
people use the element that rules their
sign of the zodiac and their own sex as
a community as a choice of significant
for instance someone like myself who was
in Aries in maturity might choose the
queen of Wands because Aries is a fire
sign and Wands is the fire suit this
works well
some people actually choose a Major
Arcana card to be their significant and
this is perfectly fine the only quarrel
I would have with that is that some
people believe that they should remove
the significative from the deck and
place it aside during the reading
sometimes to use as the base for the
layout personally I would never do that
I want the Tarot to have every
opportunity to use every card but I do
hold the significant in mind always
while doing the mixing and while
announcing myself during the Tarot
invocation the system that I prefer does
not go by man woman young or old is the
system developed by the order of the
Golden Dawn in England in the late 1800s
and that goes by birthdate they divided
up the calendar year into segments that
deal with each of the 12 signs of the
zodiac they did not use the pages at all
and they divided them only in tonight's
queens and kings I specially love that
because in truth pages are not just
young people pages are second in power
only to the Aces and for sure we're
going to have a segment on the pages
they represent giant changes in life and
huge cycles of life
we take them right out of the
significative class but if you use the
the timing and why not google it we can
poco anything these days
how to choose a significant by the order
of the golden Dawn's method play around
with the words I know you'll find it and
what they basically do is they make all
knights rule the mutable signs because
the Knights are on horseback and the
mutable signs in accordance with their
suit meaning mutable earth would be the
knight of Pentacles mutable fire
Sagittarius would be our the knight of
Wands and so forth mutable earth happens
to be Virgo the Queen's or the cardinal
signs of the zodiac Cardinal air that I
have here for the queen of swords is
Libra Cardinal our water is um cancer
which is the queen of cups and so forth
and the Kings because they know what
they know and they have matured they are
the fixed signs of each element look
them up they have a little special trick
there with them because they allow their
choice of significance to be the last 10
degrees of the sign that comes before
and the first 20 degrees every sign has
30 degrees
the first 20 degrees of their main sign
and this helps to explain their very
particular personalities because none of
us are just one thing whatever the
significant is there will be lessons to
be learned and when we do our sections
on the court cards I'll be giving you
the key lessons and the key expressions
for each of these cards
