The cover of The Joy of Tarot, by Your Favorite Fortune Teller Fernie, features three tarot cards: The Star, The Sun, and the Ten of Cups. Here, they take those three cards and give you three different ways to use them to find joy in your own life, plus a bonus tarot spread, to encourage you to lean into your exuberance and find your own ways of celebrating yourself and those you love.

From card title to uses to spreads, tarot always evolves. And while we may assume that our current practices are better than those that came before us, the wisest among us search the past for treasures to adapt to current needs. Here, The Art of Tarot Spreads author Barbara Moore illustrates the power and wisdom of doing just that.

Tarot may be read all over the world, but the way readers approach the cards can differ significantly between Europe and the United States. These differences are not about right or wrong; rather, they reflect different historical traditions that shaped how Tarot is practiced today. Here, Kirsten Buchholzer, co-author of Your Tarot Guide, examines how European Tarot traditions differ from American tarot reading.
