TAROT SUITS

that humans have faced for ages.

The Major Arcana Cards (also identified as the “Trump Cards”) are made up of twenty-one numbered cards and one unnumbered card (identified as “The Fool”).

The Fool is the main character of the Major Arcana and makes its journey through each of the other cards. The Fool learns new life lessons through its journey while meeting new teachers. Eventually, the Fool completes its journey with the “World” card. This is what’s commonly discussed as “The Fool’s Journey” and helps those reading Tarot cards to understand the storyline of the Major Arcana cards’ meanings.

What Does A Major Arcana Card Mean In A Tarot Reading?

When reading Tarot cards, if you identify a card of the Major Arcana, it means you should reflect on what life lessons and themes you are experiencing at this time. Major Arcana cards will often set the mood for all cards in the Tarot reading, meaning all other cards will relate back to the core meaning of that Major Arcana’s meaning.

What Does It Mean When A Tarot Reading Is Mostly Major Arcana Tarot Cards?

If a Tarot reading is predominantly made up of cards from the Major Arcana, that means you are experiencing events that are life-changing and will likely have long-term effects. There will be important lessons you should pay close attention to so as to progress further in your personal and spiritual quest.

If a Tarot reading is predominately made up of reversed cards from the Major Arcana, it may be a sign that you are not paying enough attention to these important life lessons. You will first need to master the lesson before you will be able to move forward.
