• A standard tarot deck has 78 cards, divided into 2 groups; 22 major arcana cards and 56 minor arcana cards. In the tarot, the major arcana denote important life events, lessons or milestones, while the minor arcana cards reflect day-to-day events.
• The minor arcana cards are arranged into 4 suits - swords, pentacles, wands, and cups. Each suit has a ruling element and correspond to a specific area of life: Swords represent air and have to do with intellect and decisions. Pentacles represent earth, money and achievement. Wands represent fire and action. Cups represent water and emotions.
• Court Cards represent a person - either yourself or someone else. They reflect personality traits and characteristics, and can give insight into motives.
