The 22 Major Arcana
What is tarot
Tarot is a deck of 78 cards used as a symbolic tool for reflection and introspection. It is split into 22 Major Arcana, which tell the great stages of the inner journey, and 56 Minor Arcana, which describe everyday situations.
Every card carries an image, a title and a precise energy. Read on its own it points to a direction; read alongside the others, in a spread, it tells a story about a moment in your life.
Major and Minor Arcana
The 22 Major Arcana, from the Fool to the World, are the heart of the deck: they represent the universal archetypes and the most important lessons of the path. They are the cards that weigh most in a reading.
The 56 Minor Arcana split into four suits, Wands, Cups, Swords and Disks, tied to the four elements, and describe the concrete nuances of daily life. In this section, for now, you find the pages of the 22 Major Arcana.
How to read a card
To understand a card you start from its image and its keywords, then read its meaning, and finally bring it into the question you are asking. The same card speaks differently depending on whether you think of work, love or a choice.
On Cosmic Love every card has its own page with the base meaning, the reading in the Thoth tradition, and the correspondences of planet, element and energy.
