You could start by getting a deck and just going with your gut :) The traditional Rider-Waite tarot has the symbolism you'd want to start with. Or any deck that is based heavily on that symbolism.
Or better yet, you could watch collective readings on youtube, see whether you like it or not. I'm still learning what some cards could mean just by watching them
A book on tarot is another option but I think it's quite boring to just read about it. Idk, I didn't start with a book myself, although my dad gave me an old book on tarot by a known esoteric here in Poland. I forget his name, lol. I'd like to get a more recent book about tarot in the future.
Maybe a book and a deck both, pulling one card a day, read about it, etc. That's often what is recommended for beginners. Or just look at the picture and read from it,what comes to your mind and so on.
