As for me...
As for me, while I have found methods that are more in my favor, as they are where you can see they are using Tarot meanings for the regular playing cards, I am going with something different. Or at least it isn't as obvious to me, thus far, (some is). I have a few reasons for why doing this. One, if using just Tarot meanings, why not just give a Tarot reading? The other reason I am using the way I've chose is the Card Readers that have read me long back when, were each able to give me very strong, defined and detailed information. I am wanting the ability to do the same.
From all that I have read, it has been Regina Russell's book, "Card Reader's Handbook" that is the most concise. Back in the Spring I finally had read enough reviews of this book from across the board, that I bought it and she has very defined meanings. She gives a huge amount of information regarding health issues too. Her book is based on her years of experience compiled from her personal notebook of her public readings she had done. She has used this way since the 1970's. In reading the book, it is readable and interesting, but I find it difficult to piece it all together. Mostly why this is because there is defined areas for information per each card and then almost random information due to listing combinations scattered about the entire book. Because it is more in-depth readings and the meanings so refined, I can understand this. It just will take some time in learning it all.
Since I have been struggling with putting it all together and I had seen suggestioned elsewhere to put the meanings on a deck of cards, this is just too much to be on a deck of cards. So I got the idea recently to use large-sized index cards, placing all the info on them, including all the scattered meanings found in her book too. I am not doing this to be an artsy deck. Just a notebook on index cards inwhich to learn the her meanings from.
Her book is 219 typing paper sized sheets/pages (for any interested).
