Tarot Card Meanings

A tarot deck has 78 cards. Twenty-two of them, the Major Arcana, carry the big themes: beginnings, endings, luck, loss, love and the long walk in between. The other 56, the Minor Arcana, are split into four suits, each tied to an element and a part of everyday life. Wands are drive and ambition, Cups are feelings and relationships, Swords are thoughts and conflict, and Pentacles are work, money and the body.

Every card page here follows the same plan, so you can jump straight to what you need: the picture itself, the upright and reversed meanings, love and feelings, a plain yes or no, work, the card as a person, and a short piece of advice. The meanings follow the tradition of the 1909 Rider–Waite–Smith deck and A. E. Waite’s own notes, retold in everyday language.
