This is a very broad method of playing and reading tarot that is based on astrology, or rather the 12 astrological houses. In this game you can use different types of tarot: Marseille Tarot, Mythological Tarot, Egyptian Tarot, Gypsy Deck, Osho Zen Tarot, Angel Tarot etc.
Astrological method of reading and playing tarot cards
First, shuffle only the 22 Major Arcana (in the case of the Gypsy Deck, shuffle all the cards or use one more tarot for the base). From this pack with the Major Arcana, choose 12 cards and place them in a circle, as if you were forming an astral map, with a tarot card for each of the 12 astrological houses.
Next, shuffle the Minor Arcana tarot cards and also remove 12 cards from it, placing each one on top of one of the previous ones, following the same order.
You must read and interpret the two cards of each astrological house in the following way: the Major Arcana is the basis for reading, as it initiates, it is the essence, the principle and the heart of the matter. The Minor Arcanum, which accompanies it, concerns above all future events, in direct relation to the meaning of each of the 12 astrological houses.
