These cards were obtained by the Roma, and since then, fortune telling on Tarot cards has spread among all sections of the population. In Europe, the same card came in the 14th century.

Tarot cards consist of 78 arcanes, of which 22 are senior and 56 are junior. They depict the various states of man, the positive and negative aspects of character, the contingency of fate. In the older arcanas depicted life paths or certain situations.

• Bright yellow-orange - on the long road, success.
• Blue or green - for dreams and desires.
• The reds - on doubts in decision-making, health.
• Dark brown - to solve domestic problems.

Something like a star is promotion or success in school. The image of strips means crossings and roads. Flowers - for marriage.

Guessing on the coffee grounds

Guessing on the coffee grounds for the future is the oldest way. He will need: a light coffee cup, a white saucer and natural coffee. Coffee is brewed as usual - poured water and brought to a boil.

Prepared coffee is allowed to cool for several minutes, then it is drunk, while at the bottom should stay about one tablespoon of the thick.

Before guessing it is important to formulate a question. It should be clear and simple. Drink a drink you need slowly. Next, the cup is taken with the left hand, several movements are made clockwise. In this case, the thicket should reach the edges of the cup evenly from all sides. After that, quickly turn the cup away from yourself on the saucer. At the same time, its location should be inclined so that part of the coffee grounds could drain, and according to the pattern that was formed on the walls of the cup, fortune-telling could be interpreted. It will be enough just for a minute, after which again you need to turn the cup with your left hand and start decoding.

Taking a cup in hand, it is necessary to consider the resulting images from different angles. Here the haste is inappropriate. The clearest symbols have an important significance for interpretation.

It is necessary to take into account the very arrangement of symbols. Consider them from the cup tips and to the bottom. What is closer to the edge is the present and the future. The closer the symbol is to the edge of the cup, the faster the events will occur. What is closer to the middle is a fast future. And what is closer to the bottom or at the bottom is a distant future.

The cup handle symbolizes the most divinatory person. What is near it, occurs in life at the moment.

A new deck will be obtained, which is decomposed into three piles and again taken out to an ace. Then two and one pile. If the result is four cards with an ace, then the desire will come true.

Moreover, she was once taught at universities. With its help you can find out about the future achievements of a person, his character, qualities, destiny. The character of a person can be learned from a simple examination of hands.

• Hearts - will tell you about the emotional stability of a person, romanticism.
• Life - about the attitude to the surrounding people, love of life and love for oneself.
• Fate - not found at all.
• Heads - about mental faculties.

The lines must be smooth, without flaws, breaks. The more clearly a line is depicted, the less there are any branches on it, the ruptures, the more favorable its significance. It is also worth considering the color of the lines themselves. If they are pale, it means poor health, reddish talk about optimism, activity. Yellowish can be a sign of some diseases, and also often occur in closed people. Lines of dark color indicate serious life positions, haughtiness.
