The Minor Arcana is the term used to
describe the last 56 cards of the tarot that follow the major arcana.
These 56 cards help to define the initial 22 cards in specific detail.
The minor arcana mirrors the setup of a traditional set of playing cards
in that there are four suits and 14 cards to each suit. The four
major suits of the minor arcana are: swords, wands, cups and coins or
pentacles. Some decks rename these suits accordingly but they all
represent the four basic elements in physical nature, respectively, Air,
Fire, Water, and Earth. The different cards of the minor arcana
can represent different people, places, specific influences, and
emotions surrounding a situation. While the major arcana will
define the significant factors relating to a reading, the minor arcana
will detail issues not always fully apparent. It is my
belief that using the minor arcana in your readings will help
tremendously with defining subtle details that you may miss only using
the majors. The cards of the minor arcana are listed below and
grouped according to their respective suit. Like the majors, each
card will have both upright and reversed meanings to help facilitate
your particular style of reading.
