The Tarot reader then picks up the first pile and lays down the seven cards face up in a row. They are placed face down from right to left in a row. The querent is then given these 42 cards and asked to reshuffle and make 6 piles of cards with 7 cards in each pile. This completes the 42 cards needed for the Gypsy Tarot Spread. The Tarot reader then combines the 22 major arcana cards with the 20 cards drawn by the querent. Remaining undrawn minor arcana cards are set aside. The querent is handed the stack of 56 minor arcana cards to shuffle and draw 20 cards from. The Cards: The cards depicted in this photo of the Tree of Life Tarot Card Spread are from the Italian Tarot Deck, Tarocco "Soproafino" Made in Milano, Italy exclusively for Cavallini & Co., San Francisco.īefore starting this reading separate the major arcana from the minor arcana.
