22 Major Arcana — meaning of every card
From 0 The Fool to 21 The World. Each card: meaning, love, money, “yes or no” and shadow (reversed card).
What the Major Arcana are
The Major Arcana (Latin arcana maiora) are the 22 tarot cards that describe the archetypal stages of the human journey: from the naive beginning (The Fool), through learning agency (The Magician), bonds (The Lovers), trials (The Tower, Death, The Devil), to integration (The World). In a spread a Major Arcana card always weighs more than a Minor one — it points to a theme that cannot be avoided. Below, every card has its own page with five answers: what it means, how it works in love, how in money, whether it says “yes”, and what it shows when reversed.
