The Major Arcana is a key part of the tarot deck, consisting of 22 cards that explore important themes in our lives.

Every Major Arcana card packs some serious symbolism and shows off archetypes that can shine a light on hidden truths or help guide you along your journey, nudging you to think a bit deeper about the messages they’re sending your way.

Sometimes, the way these cards come up can really trigger you to think about how you’ve grown, change the way you see things, or take a good look at the choices you’ve made and where they’ve led you. Getting to know what these cards are all about can totally open up your mind and help you understand your life better, giving you some really deep insights into what’s happened, what’s going on now, and what might happen next.

Below is a list of the Major Arcana cards, starting with the Fool, who begins his journey into the unknown. Each card teaches a lesson that helps him understand life better. The journey concludes with the World, symbolising completion and fulfilment, where learned lessons aid personal growth.
