Dovelove has stimulated my interest in Tarot Cards readings.
The origins of Tarot are somewhat obscure. The first clear reference that we have to Tarot cards is from a sermon that was collected with many others about 1500 in Italy found in the Steele Manuscript.
The sermon is thought to date from about 1450 to 1470 and is a diatribe against games of chance. It gives a detailed description of the Tarot trumps, not only numbering them but naming them as well.
The oldest group of surviving Tarot cards, called Tarocchi in Italian, appears to date from 1420 to 1450. Source

Divinatory meaning
Upright – Harmony and union, choices to be made using intuition and not intellect. Difficult decisions to be made not necessarily about love. Some form of test and consideration about commitments. Abstract thought, internal harmony and union, second sight. Possibly a struggle between two paths.
Ill Dignified or Reversed - Contradiction, deception, disharmony, duality and one’s own internal conflict. Infidelity, and romantic disturbances. Indecisiveness, postponing choices and a warning not to make important decisions at this time.
