Major Arcana

The 22 Major Arcana cards — from The Fool through The World — represent life's big turning points and archetypal forces, rather than the day-to-day detail the Minor Arcana suits cover. When a Major Arcana card shows up in a reading, it's traditionally read as a sign that something significant is at play — a real lesson, transition, or turning point — rather than a minor, passing event.
