The Psychic Tarot for the Heart Oracle Deck by Holland, John (2014) Cards

After my huge disappointment in Doreen Virtue this deck has me feel once again happy. There are 22 Major Arcana cards from 0-22 which represents main themes or spiritual lessons that play out in a persons life.There are also Minor Arcana Cards a total of 36 cards- these represents ones daily life regarding matters of the heart - emotions with it and what is currently happening. I find it helpful in giving direction on how to resolve a situation and move forward.They are separated as followed:Physical which would be red border (Pentacles)Emotions which would be green border (Cups)Mental - Indigo border ( Swords)Spirit - Violet border ( Wands)On top of all this it also contains Chakra Cards which can help one know which chakra center needs to be worked.Not only do I love the deck - but the book itself goes into information and useful tips to those who are novices or need a summary of how to prepare your deck - contains a variety of spreads AND also gives you information on how develop your psychic abilities - information on color interpretation - numerological meanings - symbols and images - the messages on the oracle decks are about one to two paragraphs - meaningful and to the point.Example:Embrace - keywords: achieve - welcome - appreciate - dreams - wholeness - contentmentWhen it comes to love - the universe is smiling upon you at this time. Energies are moving - shifting - coming together to give you exactly what you need and want. Your efforts to clarify your heart's desires - to be present in current relationships and to actively manifest new relationships are now bearing fruit. In this moment - you are in a position to achieve all that you have dreamed of regarding matters of the heart. Your dreams are ready to manifest.So to me I find this card EXCELLENT in card quality - the art in the deck - and the book. It is for all levels from novices to pros. I also uploaded pictures for you to look at and perhaps it can help you to feel if this deck is for you.

Absolutely love them....i use them if the reading is for love or in combination with one of my tarot decks, I wouldn't use them as a tarot reading deck in their own ....they bonded with me well and give off amazing energy...have been completely accurate on all of my client readings thus far

I love these cards.They have worn down fairly fast for me Because I've used them a lot and the gold edges do wear down but even with that being said it's still worth the money. The guidebook is beautifully written and the cards shuffle amazing, its my favorite deck that i own in terms of how the cards shuffle. So easy, nothing sticks together, feels nice in my hands. And the messages the cards convey are beautiful. If you aren't sure whether to buy this or not, get them. I formed an instant bond with these cards and the energy from them is so bright and light. I love them.

Delivery was fine and the designs of the cards themselves are great. What isn't great is that the manufacturer doesn't let the gold leaf on the edges of the cards dry before they stack them (or I should say, stick them) into the box. Taking the cards apart without ripping them was a challenge and unsticking the fronts/backs of the cards from one another resulted in the surface of the cards coming off -- the edges for more than 30% of this deck were basically glued together. Please let the manufacturer know that they should let the gold leaf dry.

This deck aesthetically is stunning, its very well made & a lot of time and love went into to writing and illustrating all of these cards. The gilded edges are beautiful, but if you are a rough shuffler like I, it'll get beat up fairly quick. This is a deck I am still bonding with.. what makes it amazing is also what makes it complex to understand. I feel like it will take me a while to intuitively hear the message clearly without relying on the book, but its worth the process. Every single card has a really beautiful important message, even the ones that at face value, look a little gloomy. (hopeless & helpless, Feeling Alone, Moving On etc.) They leave you feeling confident after reading from the book and the affirmation.

These cards are beautiful. The packaging is very nice, and the box is sturdy, so no need to find a bag to house your cards if you don't want to. The companion manual is very helpful, and the cards themselves are not very difficult to interpret.The first time I tried to bridge shuffle them, one of the cards bent in the middle. Now it has a permanent crease. The cardstock isn't very flexible, so take care when shuffling. They're also a little bigger than standard tarot cards, but not that difficult to handle (unless you have tiny hands). If you're looking to stimulate and strengthen your intuition, this deck could help.And just to show you how accurate this deck is, the first question I asked was "how will this card deck help me?" And the third eye chakra card popped up. Awesome 😊Update 4/17/15- Changing this review to 3 stars. Because I enjoy this deck so much, I decided to buy it's predecessor, the Psychic tarot Oracle deck. The cardstock quality of that deck is so much better, and the gilded edging is very nice. For the first deck to be so well made, it's a shame that this one isn't at least just as good in quality.

I have purchased some tarot/oracle decks with a love based theme that just plain annoy me giving me buyers remorse. John Hollands Love Oracle deck is on point and a treat to use when I have a question about love be it friend, family or romantical. I just did a reading on a relationship that has been weighing on my mind and each card I pulled wove a beautiful story about what was going on. After I finished the reading I felt so much better as it addressed many elements that was contributing to things being the way that they are and advice on how to proceed.If you are looking for a tarot deck that focus' on the heart I would pick this one first. I have not had issues with card stock but cards are large and may need to be shuffled with more care to compensate.

When I was led to order this deck last night I knew it would be just what I needed because I only get a deck when I'm led to. But, THE ACCURACY of all 4 readings already done, had me clapping for John Holland, Spirit and My Intuition!This deck is so balanced and it's like it WANTS to help you... it immediately connects to you and gives you a clear read on what you need to know. And I mean CLEAR. By the 2nd read I was already in synch with it intuitively and had insight to a major difficulty I've always battled with in love relationships and my career!Get this Deck if you get nothing else!Blessings x

Why only the space for 5 stars here.. these cards are so nice, and so pretty! O.K the boring bit first.. they arrived on time...yae.But the quality given the price.. the book is a study guide by John Holland, he covers tarot, psychic development, numerology, all basic but shows how they link to the cards.The cards... are done by an artist who paints for the gaming industry and they feature students of John Holland.Simple to interpret, and put your own stamp on.I love them and find them easy to work with.N.B they are not small, and they are lovely.. so lay them flat out on a cloth to select and mix up rather than try to shuffle...

This, John Holland’s second “psychic tarot oracle”, this time related to the Heart (Hay House, 2014), follows the same pattern as the first (Hay House, 2010). Courts and Tens (which numerologically are dropped from a regular tarot structure, hence the “oracle” nomer. Yet, the remaining cards follow standard tarot notions for the most part, with the addition of seven chakra cards. So, a total of 65 cards: 4 suits 1-9 (36), 22 Majors and 7 Chakras.The artwork for the cards is accomplished and colourful, with a broad spectrum of people and situations depicted. Many cards, though, have backgrounds, as opposed to landscapes. For instance, in “Shine” (equivalent to the Sun), we see a beautiful woman with long red hair floating, arms outstretched and chest radiating light. Around her swirl colours from blue to purple to gold, with shining orbs glowing all about. This card speaks to me of joyfully flowing with our passion, and surrendering to the what the Universe brings us moment to moment.I am less impressed with the chakra cards. Each shows a pedestal of the appropriate colour, with a depiction of the relevant symbol. However, I find them rather blocky and ugly, surrounded by darkness. The cards in the first deck were nicer, to my eye, but I guess he had to come up with something a little different the second time around...As for the Aces, they are not particularly obvious - if you glance through the deck, you wouldn’t go “Oh, that’s an Ace” as soon as you saw them. Still, as this Ace of Fire shows, they are interesting. Here, the card is renamed “New Vitality”, and shows a man blowing on panpipes (hmm, Ace of Air?), which look like mini-rockets of chakra-coloured energy (ah yes, the fiery energy of spirit and will).Finally, a pip card, the Nine of Air, renamed “Darkest Fears”. A handsome, dark-skinned man with a goatee and wearing a purple coat (colour of the crown chakra), stands in a blue background, with rays of lighter blue shining out from his crown. Before him are five phases of a solar eclipse, when light is blocked out by shadow for a while. Still, he looks remarkably calm for someone facing his fears. Perhaps he knows these are temporary troubles, which his spirit can overcome...I can’t imagine using this deck if asked for a regular tarot reading, given the “missing” cards. Still, it is an attractive, upbeat oracle, with less of a learning curve because of the tarot tie-in. And for those who don’t like Court cards, it’s clearly a win-win situation.

Thank you John Holland for another superb set of cards. They assist in the dialogue with other dimensions of thoughts and emotions, supporting whoever cares to pick one. The pictures are clear and pleasing, sith plenty of dtaios to catch the attention and provide further personal interpretation and meaning. The guide is very well conceived too as well as being supportive.

Another fantastic deck from John Holland... If you loved the original Psychic Tarot you will love this deck as much. The cards are beautiful and the guidebook gives plenty more information on the cards and useful tips for beginners. The artwork is great. The book also gives information on how develop your psychic abilities and there is a at least a paragraph ot two in the book for each card.My only criticism is i think the cards should have been gilded (with maybe Silver instead of Gold this time). I say this because the card stock looks like it may fray a little when used a lot and the gilding would seal the edges of the cards (like in the original deck - Psychic Tarot). The card stock is glossy and a good thickness - not flimsy like some.That's just a minor observation and it won't stop me from buying a back up of this deck (because i will use a lot) just as i did with the original Psychic Tarot.
