The Tarot is a pack of 78 printed cards and one blank card. It consists of 22 Major Arcana (or picture) cards and 56 minor Arcana cards.

The major Arcana cards are numbered 0-21. Each card has a title, for example, the Fool or the World. The Major Arcana cards describe the spiritual causes of everyday events, and the Minor Arcana cards detail everyday happenings. While the Minor Arcana cards might tell you of problems in your love relationship, the Major Arcana cards will tell you the underlying lesson to be learned in that situation.

The Minor Arcana cards are divided into four suits of 14 cards each. Each suit consists of cards numbered 1010 and included four Court cards - King, Queen, Knight and Page. These suits have different names from ordinary playing cards, but correspond to each suit. They are the suits of :
Wands (Clubs)
Cups (Hearts)
Swords (Spades)
Pentacles (Diamonds)
