Cards In Tarot Deck
A deck of Tarot cards numbers seventy eight cards in total. The cards have two groupings which are the ‘Major Arcana’ group and the ‘Minor Arcana’ Group. Each group has its own unique function when the read by a Tarot Card reader, The Major Arcana cards are very distinctive and designed to stand out as they are of great importance.
The minor arcana is used to show the everyday events that take place. When the major arcana cards come into play, it is important that the person takes note of what they are saying. These cards show the major choices and paths in the persons life.
It is hard not to take notice of Major Arcana cards as they stand out with their bright vivid coloring and design. I’m sure this is intentional so as alert both the Tarot card reader and client of the cards importance and ensure they take note.
The cards of the Major Arcana total twenty two and start from the ‘Fool’ card (zero) to the ‘World’ card (21). The fool represents beginning’s while the world represents endings. The cards in between show various other aspects of a persons life such as, challenges, lessons and the like.
When the Tarot card reader turns over a Major Arcana card during a reading they will tell you that there is a major situation in you’re life. The situation can be good or bad and apply to any aspect of your life such as work,home or pleasure. It may be the reader needs to tell you that there is something you need to address in your life to enable you to move on.
The majority of the cards are in the Minor Arcana (56) and pertain to situations and events that occur day to day.The things that Minor Arcana cards reveal are able to be altered by an individual. A Tarot reader will point these out to you during a reading.
The Minor Arcana has its own group of four, consisting of Swords,wands,pentangles and cups. The swords group deals with conflicts, the wands deal with ideas or conceptions, the cups deal with relationships and the pentangles money. Is quite normal when having your Tarot read for the groups to change so that a better understanding is gained by the reader as to their meaning.
In most readings both types of cards will come up. The major arcana cards are the destiny cards that are unable to be changed, for the most part. The minor arcana cards are the cards that can be changed as the decisions of a person are changed and modified. The major arcana cards are not to be taken lightly. If they suggest something, keep it in mind.
