A tarot card game can be defined as a card game with symbolic images. The meaning of each tarot card is different. Each symbolic image on the card is representative of fortune, misfortune, death, birth, and the like. For most people, a tarot card deck is a deck or set of cards that can reveal a person’s fortune.
French suited tarot cards were the first tarot cards used, but they were not used to predict the future. They were just for card games. Etteilla was the first person to use tarot cards to predict the future. The tarot card pack used contained 78 cards. Each card consisted of various symbols, and the meaning of each tarot card varied.
It is generally believed that the symbols and images on the cards connect the tarot card reader to the collective unconscious. The collective unconscious is the spiritual connection that exists between all living beings both in the present and in the past. The collective unconscious is also defined as the spiritual power that is present everywhere in the universe.
Interpreting tarot cards is certainly not an easy thing to do. The first thing to remember is the symbolic meaning of each tarot card. To become a good tarot card reader you must practice, this is very important. It is not enough to know the symbolic meaning of each tarot card: the true meaning also depends on the design of the cards. You just can’t give a precise meaning to a single isolated card.
Before attempting to understand the meaning of each tarot card, one must understand the two main groups of tarot cards, the major arcana consisting of twenty two cards and the minor arcana consisting of fifty six cards. The major arcana cards usually symbolize matters of great importance, while the minor arcana cards predict everyday matters such as career and personal life.
The cards included within the major arcana are The Magician, The Empress, The Hierophant, The Chariot, The Hermit, Justice, Death, The Devil, The Star, The Sun, The World, The Fool, The High Priestess, The Emperor, The Lovers, The Force, The Wheel of Fortune, The Hanged Man, Temperance, The Tower, The Moon, and The Trial.
The meaning of each tarot card is different, as The Fool is a symbol of spiritual or physical journeys and the beginning of a new cycle in life. The Magician means dominating the material world. The High Priestess is a symbol of secret knowledge and wisdom. The emphasis means security, creativity and general well-being.
The emperor is a symbol of authority, worldly power, responsibility and structure. The Hierophant refers to religious authority, guidance, routine and ritual. The lover is a symbol of union and harmony. The Chariot represents victory over adversity. Strength is a symbol of self-control and courage.
The meaning of each tarot card also depends on whether the card is upright or inverted. The meanings discussed are in the case of upright cards. The Hermit indicates caution and lack of caution. The Wheel of Fortune indicates effortless success, luck and good fortune. Justice indicates just solutions to conflicts. The executioner suggests devotion to a worthy cause.

The Tower signifies loss, disruption, conflict, and major life changes. On the other hand, The Star represents hope and healing. While The Moon is symbolic of the imagination, it could also be an illusion.
The World tarot card refers to completing life projects or events that bring fulfillment and fulfillment, and The Sun signifies contentment and happiness. Judgment represents the joy that has been found at work or in a certain period of life. These are simply basic meanings, however the true meaning of each tarot card is much more complicated than this.
Within the minor arcana there are 4 suits, and each suit includes 14 cards. The four suits are the Suit of Cups, the Suit of Coins, the Suit of Swords, and the Suit of Wands. The cards within the suit of Cups are the Ace of Cups, the 2 of Cups, the 3 of Cups, etc. until you reach 10 of Cups. After this comes the Jack of Cups, The Knight of Cups, The Queen of Cups and The King of Cups. The meaning of each tarot card is very different.
The tarot card, the Ace of Wands, is representative of the beginning of a new job or creative flame. The 2 of wands represents boldness and willpower. The 3 of Wands represents the cooperation of balanced action and willpower, and the 4 of Wands leans toward goal achievement after a period of struggle. The 5 of Wands symbolizes opposition or even resistance, the 6 of Wands is about triumph or victory at the end of a fight, and the 7 of Wands represents great courage or bravery during hardships. The 8 of wands is a sign of quick action and the 9 of wands indicates strength. The 10 of Wands suggests oppression.
The princess of wands is another name for the page of wands. She indicates a very trustworthy person who wants to bring joy to the people around him. The Knight of Wands will show a person full of energy, and the Queen of Wands represents a generous, capable, or just person. The King of Wands is a sign of a very generous and kind man who has great love for his home and his family. As you can see, the meaning of each commented tarot card is not the same.
The suit of coins, the suit of clubs, the suit of spades, and the suit of cups each contain the ace, then cards numbered 2 through 10, a page, a knight, a queen, and a king. All cards differ in connotation, and reading the correct meaning of each tarot card takes a lot of practice.
