What Are Tarot Cards?

A traditional tarot deck contains 78 cards, divided into two main sections: Major Arcana and Minor Arcana.

The Major Arcana includes 22 cards that represent major life themes, personal growth, and important experiences. Cards like The Fool, The Magician, The Lovers, and The World are often seen as symbols of different stages of life’s journey. (Labyrinthos)

The Minor Arcana contains 56 cards that explore everyday experiences, emotions, challenges, and choices through four suits. (Labyrinthos)

Together, these cards create a visual language of symbols, stories, and possibilities.
