Tarot Card Reading Examples
There are 22 Major Arcana Cards. Each card is shown here in
this animated presentation
and each Major Arcana card shows a basic greater meaning in our lives.
There are many cards in each suite so please be patient as each animated presentation
will load in your browser.
There are 56 Minor Arcana Cards which are always linked to one of the four primal
elements. These correlations are important to the reading and give a clear indication
of the focus of the reading. In general they are:
Cups: Water - Emotions, love, friendship, secrets, intuition.
Pentacles: Earth - Stability, finances,
practicality, possessions, craft.
Swords: Fire - Energy, will, work, temper,
combat, testing, movement.
Wands: Air - Intellect, logic, reason, skill,
dispassion, knowledge, problems.

In a similar fashion to the regular 52 card deck we all
play solitaire with, there is a jack, queen and king. But an additional court
card is added in Tarot. The Court Cards of each Minor suite are generally named
the Page, Knight, Queen and King. The characters and settings of each depend heavily
on the nature of each reading.
