I really like tarot and astrology. ouo I also really like birth charts!
I've read over my extensive birth chart multiple times, I practice tarot myself, and have even payed for a couple of readings before. I am personally very much of the mind that it's a really cool and fun thing that can give some great insight into one's self, whether or not any tarot readings end up being accurate. You might call it more of a hobby, on my part, something I take semi-seriously and something I continue to study on the side.
So I thought it would be cool to start a friendly discussion about it! I can answer any questions anyone might have, and I want to know about the experiences you guys have had! I might even give out some readings if anyone is interested! Do any of you practice tarot? Do you have a favourite deck, or a favourite card? What got you into it? What are your signs? (Or what is your sign, if you only know the one haha. For you all, your "Sun" sign is the one sign you would know.)

Answering my own questions:
In my case, my dad showed me the tarot when I was really young, and told me stories about how he was so good at it that he actually scared himself. Now, my dad thinks he's "scary good" at absolutely everything... but as a kid that really put stars in my eyes, and I decided I wanted to be as good as he was. I even remember another impression I'd had of tarot as a young kid that actually came from the Jump Start games with Frankie the dog. I don't have any clue which game, but somehow they'd had like a little tarot game at one point, and I remember thinking the backs of the cards were beautiful.
I actually have aspirations of making my own decks, as well! I have a couple of ideas, but one in particular that's really special.
I don't personally have a "favourite" deck right now! I have two decks, the Dragon Tarot and the Robin Wood Tarot. The dragon tarot is gorgeous but useless for a novice, and the robin wood is beautiful and practical, based on the king of all decks the Rider Waite, but for me the robin wood leans a little too positive. I'm looking for a new deck, but haven't had much luck yet. As for my favorite card, however - There are a lot of cards I really like in the tarot, like The Moon, The Star, and The Hermit, but I have to say actually that my absolute favourite card is the Two of Swords.
Also, my sun sign is Pisces, which... if you know a little about Pisces then this post probably suddenly made a lot of sense to you. My moon is Virgo, and my Ascendant/Rising is Aquarius~
What about you guys?!
