The tarot deck contains 78 cards divided into two groups. The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards that represent life’s most significant spiritual lessons and turning points — from The Fool’s first step into the unknown to The World’s promise of completion. The Minor Arcana holds the remaining 56 cards across four suits, each tied to a classical element and a core area of daily experience.
The Four Suits
- Suit of Wands (Fire) — Passion, creativity, ambition, and personal drive
- Suit of Cups (Water) — Love, emotions, relationships, and intuition
- Suit of Swords (Air) — Thought, conflict, truth, and mental clarity
- Suit of Pentacles (Earth) — Finances, career, health, and material stability
Each suit contains 14 cards: an Ace through Ten plus four Court Cards (Page, Knight, Queen, and King). Together, the 78 cards of the tarot offer a complete language for understanding the forces at work in your life — the monumental and the mundane alike.
