What is Tarot?  And how can these 78 cards successfully assess current situations and help guide us going forward?

Each card has a picture, symbolism and a story behind it.  Major Arcana cards portray life’s lessons.  There are 22 of these cards.  The other 56 cards are the Minor Arcana cards and they portray the challenges we face every day.  In the Minor Arcana cards, there are 16 Court Cards that portray our 16 different personality characteristics that we may experience at any time.  Also in the Minor Arcana cards, there are 40 numbered cards in 4 different Suits, showing different situations we may encounter each day. 

Not everyone believes in Tarot.  What I find is that Tarot tells our stories.  They very often assess our life’s situations and provide guidance on how to best proceed.  Most of us already know the right path but it’s sometimes helpful to see the cards support that path.  Tarot has an amazing ability to lay out our spiritual lessons. Tarot provides the lessons we need at that particular time in our lives.  Tarot allows us to see clearly what we probably already knew we should do and what we should know.
