Welcome to Issue 6! With this issue we received the Majors for the Harmonious Tarot, as well as the Golden Art Nouveau Two of Cups. The mags are settling into a nice layout now, after shifting around a bit at the start; it's lovely to know a bit what to expect. Incidentally, they apparently did consider doing the magazines tear-and-file style - where you separate the pages and refile them to keep similar sections together - but it wouldn't have been cost effective for us consumers. So I'm glad they kept them this way!

Discover the power of one-card tarot readings and say goodbye to complicated, confusing, time-consuming spreads forever.
A tarot practice is a great source for advice, insight, and spiritual connection, but doing tarot readings is sometimes complicated and frustrating.

Incorporating other popular spiritual practices such as meditation, aromatherapy, crystal work, breathwork, and more, Card of the Day Tarot includes a range of one-card draws, readings, and rituals that demonstrate the adaptability and flexibility of the one-card draw. The readings include:
- Good Morning! Tarot
- Game Face Tarot
- Yes or No Tarot
- Tarot Wind Down
- Dreams of Tarot
- One-Card Tarot for Love
- One-Card Tarot for Career
- Trance Tarot
The book also includes revamped interpretations for all 78 cards, offering simplified messages for each one depending on the type of question being asked. Each card includes a life lesson, an affirmation, a reassurance, a yes/no designation, a direct call to action, and more, making this an easy reference guide that will work with any tarot deck.
Whether you’re a beginner reader still learning the meanings of the cards or an experienced practitioner looking for an easy way to bring more tarot into your life, Card of the Day Tarot is a practical, visually stunning guide to conducting meaningful tarot readings in your everyday life—without frustration, confusion, or hours of interpretation.
