Tarot Card Meanings: Complete Guide to All 78 Cards

A standard tarot deck holds 78 cards. Twenty-two Major Arcana represent the big themes: identity, transformation, death, rebirth, the forces that reshape your life whether you cooperate or not. Fifty-six Minor Arcana, divided into four suits, map the everyday: the argument with your partner, the job offer, the financial decision, the feeling you can’t name but can’t ignore.

I’ve been reading these cards for twenty years. The meanings below come from that practice, not from a textbook. Each card page includes upright and reversed interpretations for love, career, finances, and feelings, plus yes-or-no guidance and practical advice for what to do when the card appears in your reading.
