I found this post on Aecletic Tarot, it explains how to read the Minor Arcana by using the meanings of the Major Arcana. By using this method, you can read each and every tarot.
It was taken from the Marseille de Tarot section, so I thought you might find this helpful for your studies.

interpreting minor arcana
"So, each pip meaning is derived from the suit meaning plus the number meaning, and also relates to the RWS picture. The one-word keywords after the Major titles aren’t meant to suggest that one should interpret the Majors using only those keywords, but merely to point out which aspect of the Major card is being used to correlate with the pip cards.

It's inevitable that any effort of this type will fall short of perfection, since the RWS pictures don't fit neatly into a suit+number pattern. But it may be possible to construct something along these lines that will serve."
Hace un tiempo retomé una conversación de 1983 entre Susan Sontag y John Berger, dos autores que reflexionaron profundamente sobre nuestra relación con las imágenes. En ella, Sontag sugiere algo muy similar al tarot: contar historias es una actividad que mira en dos direcciones. Por un lado, está ligada a la verdad; por otro, a la invención, la imaginación e incluso la mentira. (YouTube) Quizás algo parecido ocurre cuando ponemos las cartas sobre la mesa: quien consulta y quien lee comienzan a construir una historia juntos. Hay algo que está presente —las cartas, los símbolos, la pregunta, el momento—, pero también hay algo que debemos imaginar. En una entrada anterior hablé de la imaginación activa como uno de los recursos para lograrlo. Ahora me gustaría reflexionar sobre otro, mucho más elemental: la geometría.
Dentro de la geometría, me interesa particularmente su elemento más simple: la línea. Hace unos días descubrí la obra de Aglae Cortés y sus aforismos visuales. En una de sus secuencias fotográficas, vemos, desde una posición elevada y casi voyeurista, a una persona moviéndose y haciendo ejercicio en un jardín. La posición de la cámara me recordó de inmediato la mirada del tarotista inclinado sobre la mesa, observando las cartas desde arriba. Junto a una de las fotografías, Cortés escribe: «El peso del tiempo sobre una línea imaginaria». Me encanta esa frase porque transforma de repente una escena cotidiana en un problema geométrico. El cuerpo se mueve a lo largo de una línea que no existe físicamente, y sin embargo podemos verla. Algo similar ocurre con esa otra línea invisible que llamamos gravedad: una relación que Newton logró imaginar, describir y convertir en una formulación matemática. No hace falta trazar la línea para empezar a organizar nuestra percepción.
Quizás por eso mi propia forma de leer el tarot tiene algo de geométrico. Soy químico y sospecho que esta formación ha influido en mi manera de interpretar las cartas: busco simetrías, centros, correspondencias, líneas y transformaciones. En esta tirada, por ejemplo, mi mirada se dirige inmediatamente hacia arriba, encontrando un eje en el centro de las tres cartas. Incluso antes de preguntarme "¿qué significan?", percibo visualmente una transformación. En el Cinco de Copas aparece un centro que podría imaginar como algo fundamental, algo que necesita ser contemplado desde el espíritu —la copa—; en el Ocho de Bastos, ese centro parece tejerse, contenerse, casi como un capullo en proceso de transformación; finalmente, en el Seis de Espadas, el centro reaparece abierto, transformado en una forma vegetal que parece florecer y estar protegida por las espadas. Nada de esto está escrito literalmente en las cartas. Soy yo quien alinea las imágenes y luego inventa una historia coherente con mis inquietudes actuales: hay un centro que está evolucionando; estás atravesando un proceso que se desarrollará en estas tres etapas. Primero veo una geometría. Luego cuento una historia.
Y quizás eso sea precisamente lo que más me fascina del tarot. Que una historia inventada —una historia que, siguiendo el sentido provocador de Sontag, contiene algo de «mentira»— pueda al mismo tiempo acercarnos a una verdad profundamente personal. No porque las cartas demuestren objetivamente lo que sucederá, sino porque la ficción que construimos con ellas puede visibilizar una relación que antes no veíamos. Al fin y al cabo, a menudo comprendemos el mundo trazando primero líneas invisibles: órbitas, fuerzas, ejes, simetrías, campos. La línea es imaginaria, pero lo que nos permite comprender puede ser muy real. ¿Utilizas algún recurso geométrico o matemático en tus lecturas? ¿Centros, diagonales, simetrías, repeticiones, proporciones? Me encantaría conocer otras formas de observar las cartas antes de empezar a interpretarlas.

Just wanted to share because it’s always amazing when the cards sync up exactly with the question. And always a positive when the querent finds some comfort.
Deck: 1JJ Swiss
Question: what comes next now that I’ve filed for divorce?
I have two pre 1963 tarot de marseille decks and I can’t pin point a 5 year range for them.
Both of them have the French text for the major arcana one is a bit more yellowish and the other is white Magician has two dice on table
4 of coins has a tulip
The back of the cards the white color has spiral back
And the other is checkered and has the stamp on ace of coins
Any help dating these would be so wonderful! Thank you
I never find this deck anywhere, usually just the book without the cards, but lucked out recently, so thought I would share.
Jonathan Dee Tarot: Marseille-inspired with a few hints of RWS here and there in the pips.
(The Golden Retriever puppy in the 3rd pic did not come with the deck).
Resumindo.. eu guardava meus tarot e livros em uma sacola enorme no guarda roupa, até então estava tudo lindo, tinha uns 2 livros que falavam sobre o uso e pa e outro simplesmente chamado “A Bíblia do tarot”, pois bem, viajei e deixei o babado todo lá, na viagem minha mãe disse que iria chamar uma amiga dela que me conhece desde criança pra limpar a casa (ela é diarista e agora mais ainda evangélica também) daí o cy ficou na mão porque eu também disse pra minha mãe que deixasse eu arrumar o meu guarda roupa quando eu chegasse, dai ela simplesmente arrumou com a faxineira e descobriu, depois de uma semana passado da viagem a minha irmã havia me contado que ela descobriu e que tava horrorizada querendo queimar tudo e eu fiquei bem péssima pq eu sempre fui a filha certinha da família e a mais responsável.
Tudo isso porque meus pais são cristãos e agora acham a que eu sou meio bruxa kkkk.. não demorou muito eu revelei pra eles que já sabia que eles já tinham descoberto e disse a eles que iria jogar independente de tudo, por respeito a eles.
Minha mãe continuou ignorante sobre tudo isso e falando merda sobre e o meu pai falou numa boa, porém dizendo que não apoia e que se decepcionou comigo. Bem isso já faz 2 semanas e a poeira baixou, eles estão falando comigo como se nada ocorresse, mas hoje minha mãe, falando comigo falou algo sobre a faxineira e eu acabei soltando pra ela ironicamente que depois desse acontecimento ela nunca mais vai vir aqui e ela me retrucou dizendo que ainda vai vir aqui no meu quarto pra jogar fora ou queimar.
Decidi de vez que vou jogar fora tudo no lixo nesse sábado, com o peito cortado fora. 😕
O que vocês fariam ou me dizem nessa situação? Fariam o mesmo? Tô certa em tomar essa atitude?
Very grateful to get this one in the mail recently; I’m always scanning Kickstarter for a contemporary TdM and this one is fantastic. Superb card stock, incidentally. Very interesting Major Arcana!

You guys probably already heard, but it was news to me:
Alejandro Rozan’s deck, Pixie’s Marseille, was one of the Kickstarters that I was so bummed out to miss. He’s got the deck in stock on his website!
Is it all in your head or is everything what it seems? Let’s take a look.. Hit the upvote button and DM your question and your name. Happy Monday everyone!!
When doing tarot readings, do the questions have to be said out loud, or can they also be like inner thoughts?
