The Tarot can be read through randomly placing cards and ingterpeting them, but most often what is called a spread is used. In a spread, each position is defined, and the cards read in relation to each other. One of the spreads that I find most useful is the Three Card Spread. The reader predetermines the position meanings, which are focused on what type of informationt he Seeker is lookkng for.
Spread definitions can be anything - Past/Present/Future, Mind/Body/Soul, Yes/No/Maybe ... the listis endless!
What is your favorite Tarot spread?
