A traditional tarot deck contains 78 cards divided into the Major Arcana (22 cards) and Minor Arcana (56 cards). The Major Arcana represents life's big themes and spiritual lessons — the Fool's journey from innocence to enlightenment.
The 22 Major Arcana cards tell a story. The Fool (0) begins as an innocent traveler, encountering the Magician, High Priestess, and eventually confronting Death, the Tower, and the World. Each card marks a stage of personal growth and transformation.
New beginnings, spontaneity, faith in the universe. A leap into the unknown with an open heart.
Love, harmony, choices. Not just romantic love — deep alignment of values.
Transformation, endings, change. Rarely physical death — usually a profound personal metamorphosis.
Hope, renewal, serenity. The calm after the storm. A beautiful card of healing.
Completion, accomplishment, wholeness. The end of one cycle and the beginning of another.
Start with a simple three-card spread: Past, Present, Future. Shuffle while focusing on your question. Draw three cards left to right. The first card reveals influences from the past. The second shows your current situation. The third suggests what may come.
