The
Tarot is divided into 2 main sections - the Major Arcana and the Minor
Arcana.
The
Major Arcana represents the more important issues in life while the Minor
Arcana represents the day to day issues. The Major Arcana does not only
represent what is happening on a physical level but also on a spiritual
level. It's scope can extend to represent what is happening on many levels
of our psyche.
Although
the Minor Arcana is important when reading the cards also, it's importance
is limited to those issues that are of a lesser significance.
Understanding
these 2 elements of the Tarot are essential. It is important for both the
amateur and professional to remember when reading the cards that although
the minor arcana are relevant, it is best to pay more specific attention
to what the Major Arcana is telling us and work on completely interpreting
their place in the spread firstly.
Below
is a menu looking at both the Minor and Major Arcana card sections. All
card meanings are listed therein.
