Understanding the Major Arcana
The tarot deck contains 78 cards, including 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana represent the great forces and archetypes that govern our lives: from the innocence of The Fool (0) to the total accomplishment of The World (21), they tell the initiatory journey of the human soul.
Each major arcana carries a universal symbolic energy that can be applied to all areas of life: romantic relationships, career, personal development and spiritual path. Their interpretation depends on the context of the reading, the position of the card, and the question asked.
