𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐓 & 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖

today , we associate tarot cards with fortune tellers & the occult but all the way back in the mid-15th century europe , these cards were used as playing cards in a game called ‘ tarrochi ‘ ( or sometimes known as tarock ) . it wasn’t up until the late 1700s that using these cards for divination purposes , when frenchman jean-baptise alliette had published the first definitive guide to tarot reading . he gave meaning to each card & incorporated beliefs about astronomy and the four elements .

the tarot deck itself consists of seventy-eight cards , that are broken up into two parts . these two parts are called the minor and major arcana . the minor arcana is made up of fifty-six of the cards divided , again , into four suits of fourteen cards each . these suits are 𝐒𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒 , 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐒 ( sometimes called coins ) , 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐒 ( or staves ) and 𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐒 . the major arcana , other wises known as the trumps major is made up of twenty-two cards ; each of symbolic meaning .

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐀

the fifty-six minor arcana cards reflect the day trials and tribulations that we experience in our lives on a daily basis . despite being labeled as ‘ the minor arcana ‘ , these cards will still have significant impact in your life . these cards tend to relate to what’s happening in your daily life and can offer insight into your present situations & how they are affecting you and what steps you need to take to manifest your goals .

𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐈𝐓𝐒 :

SUIT OF CUPS : the suit of cups represents your feelings , emotions , creativity & intuition . these cards often appear in readings about relationships and your emotional connection to yourself and others .

element : water . zodiac signs : cancer , scorpio and pisces.

SUIT OF PENTACLES ( sometimes coins ) : the suit of pentacles represents work , finances and material items . the pentacles will often appear in readings about financial wealth & career .

element : earth . zodiac signs : taurus , virgo & capricorn .

SUIT OF SWORDS : the suit of swords represents your thoughts , words and actions . the swords often appears when talking about communicating your ideas , making decisions and asserting your power .

element : air . zodiac signs : gemini , libra and aquarius

SUIT OF WANDS : the suit of wands represents your motivation , energy and passion . these cards will often appear in readings when talking about life purposes , spirituality and new ideas .

element : fire . zodiac signs : aries , leo and sagittarius

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐉𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐀

the major arcana cards represent the biggest influences and lessons in your life — which help your souls journey to enlightenment . these cards & their meanings are deep and complicated— in the most beautiful ways . truly , these cards to represent the structure to the human consciousness and hold the keys to life lessons that have been passed down through the ages .

when a major arcana card appears in a tarot reading , you are being called to reflect on the life lessons & themes that are at play at this time . a major arcana card should set the scene for the rest of the reading — with the other cards relating back to the major arcana card.

when a reading is mostly made up of the major arcana , there are strong forces at play here , you are experiencing life-changing experiences that will have long term effects . there are important lessons to be learned here , you’ll need to pay attention to if you want to progress further in your spiritual and personal life . however , if there are many reversed major arcana cards , it may mean that you are not paying attention to these life lessons and you will need to master this lesson before progressing .
