The Meanings Of The Minor Arcana Tarot Cards

The 56 Minor Arcana cards reflect the trials and tribulations

that we experience on a daily basis. Even though the Minor
Arcana cards are called ‘minor', it doesn't mean that these
Tarot cards won't have a significant impact in your life. These
Tarot cards relate to what's happening in your daily life, and
can offer insight into how your present situation is affecting
you and what steps you need to take to manifest your goals.

The Minor Arcana cards typically have a temporary influence

– that is, they represent an energy that is moving through
your life right now and that can be easily changed,
depending on the actions you take.

There are four different Tarot Suits within the Minor Arcana:

The Suit of Cups represents your feelings, emotions,

intuition and creativity. The Cups cards often appear in Tarot
readings about relationships and your emotional connection
with yourself and others.

The Suit of Pentacles represents your finances, work and

material possessions. The Pentacles cards often appear in
Tarot readings about career and financial wealth.

The Suit of Swords represents your thoughts, words and

Each Suit contains 10 numbered cards and 4 Court Cards

represent different personality characteristics we may
choose to express at any given time.
