About the Major Arcana

The Major Arcana cards are the heart of the tarot deck, depicting universal archetypes and life-changing events. Each card represents a significant spiritual lesson or transformative experience that shapes our journey through life.

These 22 cards are numbered 0 through 21, beginning with The Fool (0) and concluding with The World (21). Together, they tell the story of the soul's evolution—often called "The Fool's Journey"—from innocence and potential through challenges, wisdom, and ultimately to completion and wholeness.

When a Major Arcana card appears in a reading, it signals that the situation involves deep, soul-level themes rather than everyday concerns. These cards carry powerful energy and often indicate moments of significant personal transformation or important life decisions.
