Tarot card meanings

There are many tarot cards, and memorizing the meaning of each one is not the easiest way to learn tarot reading. Instead of memorizing each image, you need to understand the two divisions of the tarot deck: the major arcana and the minor arcana. This should help you read tarot cards more effectively.

The 22 major arcana cards represent things that are out of your control. These cards include the fool, the magician, the high priestess, the empress, the emperor, the hierophant, the lovers, the chariot, the strength, the hermit, the wheel, justice, the hanged man, death, temperance, the devil, the tower, the star, the moon, the sun, the judgment and the world. .

If you are serious about tarot reading, prepare to face endless levels of interpretation in the major arcana. The cards of the major arcana must be taken with more weight.

The 22 major arcana cards, on the other hand, are the representation of the simplest things in everyday life. The four suits, the Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles, each symbolize a particular approach to life. The Rod is associated with the element of fire, which represents masculinity. The Cups represent the female psyche, in which emotions and spiritual experience are entities with water as an element. Swords symbolize intellect, thought, and reason. The Pentacles represent the earth, which represents the material things or the services of the physical world. The 16 minor arcana cards are the suits, aces, deuces, threes, fours, fives, sixes, sevens, eights, nines, tens, court cards, pages, knights, queens, and kings.

Learning the actual essence of the two parts of a tarot deck, which are mentioned above, is a good start to gaining a complete knowledge of the tarot. In either case, you won’t get a meaningful and articulate reading if all you’ve done is memorize each card without learning the secrets of its true nature.
