“Tarot cards hold timeless wisdom, offering guidance and clarity in times of uncertainty.” Tarot has been illuminating our path to wisdom and self-discovery, guiding us when we need it the most for centuries. The history of the mysterious realm of tarot travels a long way from being the instrument of divination in 18th-century France, being a part of hermeneutic, magical, mystical, and psychological practices, fortune-telling for Romani people, to the present world, where you can get a tarot reading to dive deeper into your soul and reveal the blessings and challenges the universe has in store for you.
A tarot card reading involves understanding the pictorial map of our consciousness, forming our life journey, both practically and spiritually. Through their unique imagery, the tarot cards depict the innermost truths of your being.
The new age tarot cards are broken into two categories, i.e., Minor Arcana and Major Arcana, acting as a roadmap to your life and a guiding light to your soul. In an online tarot reading session, an expert psychic reader lays a tarot spread (such as a Celtic cross spread, full moon tarot spread, love tarot spread, etc.) in a specific pattern and then addresses your concern depending on the energy surrounding your environment and whether a Minor or Major Arcana card shows up as an answer to your question.
Hence, diving deeper into Major and Minor Arcana cards is crucial to understand tarot reading. Let us begin with understanding the symbols, keywords, and stories the Major Arcana cards represent.

A deck of 22 cards, the Major Arcana tarot cards in an online tarot card represent the universe’s messages for the enlightenment of your soul. These cards relate to the life lesson and karmic influences on your soul’s journey toward the ultimate purpose of your being.

Moreover, the Major Arcana cards, beginning with the Fool and going all the way to World, depict life-transforming experiences with long-term effects in health, career, finance, spirituality, and love tarot reading.
