Major Arcana

The Major Arcana are the 22 trump cards of the tarot, symbolising life's great archetypes and the human spiritual journey. Each card represents a universal life theme or a key stage of development – from innocence and beginnings (The Fool) to completion and wholeness (The World).

These cards describe not everyday events but deeper themes: identity, choice, challenge, insight, and transformation. They are often used to reflect on life cycles, growth, and the archetypal forces that shape us all.

In readings, the Major Arcana can point to significant life lessons or phases you are going through. They form the backbone of many tarot systems and offer a map of the symbolic journey from start to fulfilment.
