I · THE IMAGE
Look at the card
Begin with what is visible: the central action, symbols, characters, and emotional atmosphere. Return to the artwork before reaching for an interpretation.
THE SONAM ZANGMO METHOD · READING TAROT
Reading
Tarot
A card can be read on its own. A spread asks you to notice how cards relate.
This is a starting guide to the reading process, not a statement of Sonam Zangmo's individual interpretations. Her card-by-card writing will appear in the library as it is prepared.
II · THE POSITION
Consider its place
In a spread, the position gives a card a particular role. Read it in relation to the question and the other positions, rather than in isolation.
III · THE CONNECTION
Read the cards together
Notice echoes, contrasts, and changes across the images. A spread is not merely three disconnected meanings placed side by side.
