Understanding the Structure of Tarot Card Names
The tarot deck is divided into two main categories: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards with unique, symbolic names, while the Minor Arcana has 56 cards divided into four suits, each with 10 numbered cards and four court cards.
Each suit in the Minor Arcana represents a different aspect of life: Wands ( creativity, passion), Cups (emotions, relationships), Swords (thoughts, communication), and Pentacles (material possessions, finances).
Understanding the structure of tarot card names is essential for accurate interpretation and application in readings.
