Meaning of Minor Arcana Cards in a Reading
Four suits — Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles — make up the 56 minor arcana cards. They are all about the everyday aspects of life, such as work, relationships, emotions, and actions. What is happening in our current situations and the influence we have shows up in the minor arcana cards.
The minor arcana cards are divided into numbered cards (Ace to Ten) and court cards (Page, Knight, Queen, and King). The numbered cards show you the different stages and cycles of a specific theme or energy. The Ace of Cups indicates new love or emotional healing, and the Ten of Cups is a result of working hard to create a happy family or community. The court cards show you different aspects of yourself or other people in your life. They can represent your roles, attitudes, behaviors, or influences. For example, the Page of Cups represents intuition and the emotional expression of youth. The King of Cups has reached emotional maturity and has mastered balanced leadership.
Though readings can be done with only the major arcana cards, the minor arcana cards are essential for a complete tarot reading. They give you more details and nuances about your situation and yourself. They also help you connect with your intuition and creativity. Finally, learning their meanings and messages can enrich your tarot practice and experience.
