Tarot Reading for Beginners
To start reading tarot, ask an open question about your own life, describe each picture before its meaning and write one practical sentence. A standard deck has 78 cards: 22 Major and 56 Minor Arcana.
Major Arcana Meaning
The 22 Major Arcana, numbered 0 for the Fool to 21 for the World, picture large human themes such as beginnings, choices and endings. They are prompts for thinking, not forecasts.
Minor Arcana Basics
The Minor Arcana are 56 cards in four suits, Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles, each with Ace to 10 and four court cards. They describe everyday life, read by combining suit and number.
