Tarot Meanings: The Major & Minor Arcana. Is your destiny on the cards?
In the world of tarot, the cards and their meanings are like a door to another dimension, endless layers of meaning is revealed to anyone dedicated enough to absorb themselves in this most magical of Oracles. I have spent many years developing my own deck and still after many years of study am amazed at the endless layers of meaning that are revealed every time I tweak my deck. Intuition is imperative with Tarot, the same card can have a different implication or interpretation depending on the energy vibrations between the sitter and the reader. How successful a reading is is the responsibility of both parties involved in the reading, and guaranteed after the event relevant details will surface in an ‘Aha’ moment for anyone open to the power of Tarot. I have studied & undergone cognitive behavioral therapy, you would be amazed at how many ‘main stream therapists’ are incorporating the Tarot in their consultations.
The deck of 78 tarot cards has several arcana that form specific groups. This may sound a little confusing to you. For now, let us just talk about the major arcana and minor arcana.

In other words, both major and minor arcana represent significant energy, emotions or implications in a person’s life but the former is more important and powerful than the latter.

My Hermit certainly lived his life, no longer with us, you can read more about the detailed meaning of The Hermit Tarot card HERE. The card being a major arcana means that this energy or feeling is strong, intense and is likely to last for a long time. To the contrary, the Eight of Cups minor would imply a less impactful, though, maybe just as interesting meaning but with less intensity. The phase, depending on the position n the spread , may be short-lived and is in all likelihood a passing phase. The major arcana tarot readings often depict the consistent urge or a prevailing phase of a certain energy, emotion or interest, something that has been happening for a while and is likely to continue happening. A minor arcana depicts a sudden urge or phase which may be genuine or might be indicative of a distraction from something that a person is done or exhausted with.
The major and minor arcana tarot readings have immense significance in a person’s destiny. Knowing the real nature of a situation, feeling, emotion or quest, one can be serious about it or shrug it off. This could apply to career interests, relationships, love life, hobbies, passion or even any task that one has to do.
