The Structure of the Tarot Deck
Before diving into individual tarot card meanings, it's essential to understand the structure of the deck. A standard tarot deck consists of 78 cards grouped into two main categories: the Major Arcana (22 cards) and the Minor Arcana (56 cards).
The Major Arcana
The Major Arcana represents significant life themes, karmic lessons, and spiritual growth. Beginning with The Fool and ending with The World, these cards map out 'The Fool's Journey'—a narrative of personal development.
The Minor Arcana
The Minor Arcana reflects daily struggles, practical matters, and immediate influences. It is divided into four suits: Wands (passion, action), Cups (emotions, relationships), Swords (intellect, conflict), and Pentacles (material wealth, career).
