Combinations & Neighbours

A card next to another card is not the same card alone. Tarot reading is fluency in how cards modify each other — by suit, number, element, and shared symbol.

The neighbour rule: read each card in light of what sits beside it. The Tower next to The Star is collapse opening into healing. The Tower next to the Ten of Swords is collapse on top of collapse.

Spend more time with pairs than singles. Most real readings live in the combinations, not in any one card's keywords.
