The Major Arcana: A Journey
The Major Arcana is typically referred to as a useful tool that defines our life’s journey and destiny through different scenarios. According to my tarot readings, the journey begins when you allow yourself to gain more knowledge by mastering your full potential. The tarot deck helps us to discover our peace of mind and materialize the ideal path for our well-being.
Why you should be part of the Journey
As stated above, Major Arcana speaks to the soul’s journey in different manifestations. It can be easy or difficult, but in the end, we all progress in one treaty. It narrates the issues, events, and people who make up our day-to-day activities. Read along and understand the major practical tarot reading.
- It turns out that Tarot reading tells us that life isn’t as easy as we think. But also, it is not as difficult as it sounds. For instance, the World represents our spiritual awareness regarding the accomplishments and lessons learned on the way.
- Even if the cards tend to cross over each other, which is equivalent to the situations and talks that feel like bondage, it can be easily explained when The Devil represents the eight swords. Traditionally, it can be drawn back to the situation where you feel like you are in slavery, but you get a chance and slip off through the eight swords toward victory.
- Sourcing back to the Tarot reading, the slavery situation would point towards a confusing situation where you feel trapped in many life demands. It can be additional pressure from work, home, school, and relationships. At this point, other forms of cards will help you to understand the current situation further. The Devil with the eight swords, for instance, represents a pattern of trapped feelings and deep thoughts. The pattern tends to disfigure the feature’s realities.
The Major Arcana-In Depth Explanation of the Tarot Deck
The journey of life is made up of 0 to 21 cards. They tend to teach us how we should live in this world of heightened emotions through different spiritual guides. Allow me to introduce to you ten different suits of the Major Arcana:
0: The Fool. He symbolizes the beginning of the journey to being innocent and eager to learn. He conveys one message: living in the present but completely different alternatives with lots of zeal and curiosity. One thing is that The Fool will never worry about where the journey will begin or end. He knows the fact that he exists at the moment.
1: The Magician. In other words, it defines the male animus as the leading persona for all our skills, activities, and abilities that relate to our outer world. He describes how we learn from different life events. He also represents one’s responsibilities and disciplines, unlike the Fool, who is quite aware of the significance of his life’s decisions.

Look for your favorite tarot deck that especially speaks to you both emotionally and physically. Select one that you love and put it in your journal where you can easily see it. Remember to take your card each day and look at it for a few minutes. After that, write your emotional reaction, what you see, and the impact feeling. You can practice meditating at least three times per day, but not more than that since you will confuse the interpretation in your thinking. You find that the personal connection between the card and you tends to trigger your thinking process creatively.
