Tarot Guide
Begin with the structure of the deck and understand how the Major and Minor Arcana work together.
The Major Arcana
The archetypal journey from The Fool to The World—identity, transformation, choice and awakening.
The Suit of Wands
Creativity, desire, movement, courage, ambition and the energy required to begin.
The Suit of Cups
Emotion, intuition, memory, connection, relationships and the inner landscape.
The Suit of Swords
Thought, truth, language, conflict, clarity and the choices shaped by the mind.
The Suit of Pentacles
Work, money, health, resources, craft and the physical conditions of everyday life.
THE STRUCTURE OF TAROT
One deck. Two connected systems.
The twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana describe the larger archetypal journey. The fifty-six cards of the Minor Arcana bring that journey into emotion, thought, action and material life.
