Comparative Analysis: When a reader pulls specific number for instance a 4. Fours in the tarot are about stability, and foundation. For examble if I pulled the four of wands with the four of swords I would interpret this as healing withing a secure foundation and reason to celebrate.
Reading Techniques: If for example there is many of the same suit in a spread; a reader may take this a number of ways. If I were to pull 11 cards and 9 of the 11 were wands, one would say that there will be a lot of passion and action in the reading; or maybe the person being read is a fire sign for which their energy is huge in their reading.
Real-Life Applications: The most common readings have to do with love or money. In this case if the reading is about love the cups suit should make an appearance. Where as if it were a money spread I, as a reader would exect the suit of pentacles to make an appearance.
