There are some very basic steps which will make is easy for you to start learning to read the Tarot cards. While it is not difficult, it does take consistent practice. The more time you spend learning, the faster it will come to you. Don't let it be scary! You didn't learn how to drive a car in a week, so, look at learning to read cards the same way.
First you need a plan. Decide how much time you are willing to devote a few times per week. This will set the stage for learning just as if you were going out to take a class. Tarot is much like learning to play an instrument. I may seem like you'll never get it, but you will as long as you stick with it. The more time you put in, the more proficient you will become.
A good standard and very basic Tarot deck is the Rider Waite deck of cards. They are fairly simple to learn and the pictures are plain enough that you can easily figure out what they are trying to say. The simple decks, like the one just mentioned, are far easier to learn with. Wait until you have the basics down before trying other decks because they can be confusing until you are very familiar with a simpler version.
There are many books available on learning the Tarot. The best one can be found in the Idiot books out there, similar to the Dummy books. The writers are experts themselves and did a wonderful job of teaching the Tarot in a fun and relaxed way. Learning the Tarot doesn't have to instill fear in you, but, rather it should be a fun process.
These books can be purchased from Amazon and a used copy will work just fine. I do recommend buying a new Rider-Waite deck of cards. Older, used cards carry other owner's energy and can also be hard to shuffle. You can find new decks online for around $10. You should consider spending 20-30 minutes at least three times per week when starting. The more time you spend in the beginning, the more new information will stick with you. If you only practice readings once a month, you will find you have to start over each time you begin. Remember, consistency is key to memorizing new information.
Start with a basic layout like the Celtic spread because it is widely used around the world. Once you have memorized this spread, it will be easy to move on to some of the others.
The next step (and I highly suggest it) is to take a large piece of construction paper and mark each of the 10 positions for the Celtic spread. Mark down on the paper what each position represents. You can get the names of the positions in this particular spread from your book or booklet that comes with each deck. This most important step should be memorized before you get into other areas of the Tarot which will make it much easier once you get into other aspects of your learning.
It is very important for you to work with your piece of paper which has the meanings of the positions labeled. This is where you will lay each of the cards down onto when you first begin. Do not skip this step! Memorizing the positions that the cards will occupy is one of the foundation steps which will be very helpful in a few days. You may even use this if you have not used the Tarot in quite a while. It will help you re-familiarize yourself with the basic positions of the cards.
Our brain can only absorb so much information at one time and that is why I highly recommend just 20-30 minutes at each practice session in the beginning. Take it a little at a time until you have the meanings of each position in the layout memorized. Each time you practice will build on the last session until a few months later, you will be able to do Tarot readings without the book. Once you feel you do not need the book for each card (only for reference once in a while) you will also find the added benefit of your psychic ability and how much it has improved.
Be kind to yourself and take it slow. Learning to read the Tarot is a process that cannot be rushed. Once you know the basic meanings to each of the 78 cards, you will be well on your way. You never know where it might lead. Plenty of people started out with an interest in the Tarot as a hobby and ended up making money doing psychic tarot readings.
