The Major Arcana is the tarot's spiritual foundation.

The 22 cards chart the human experience from innocence to enlightenment.
As one of the best tarot card readers in India with over 5 years of professional practice, I have witnessed how powerful these archetypes are lessons in our remarkable transformations.
As opposed to the Minor Arcana, which contains day-to-day matters, the Major Arcana tells us:
🍀 Karmic life lessons
🍀 Spiritual awakenings
🍀 Tipping points
🍀 Soul contracts and destiny
Section 1: The Three Phases of the Journey of the Major Arcana
1. The Fool's Ascent (cards 0-VII)
The first seven cards symbolize our stage of spiritual awakening:
The Fool - Innocence
The Magician - Resourcefulness
The High Priestess - Intuition
The Empress – Creativity and life force
The Emperor – Organizing & Structure
The Hierophant - Education
The Lovers - Life choices
The Chariot – Long victorious journey with grit and determination
For example, when the Chariot appeared for a client who was considering emigration, she was able to confirm her need to be in control of her direction.
2. The Soul's Crucible (Cards VIII-XIV)
The middle of the deck is testing us on our spiritual maturity:
Strength – Mastering our minds
The Hermit – Introspection, looking within
Wheel of Fortune – Life’s flow
Justice – Karma
The Hanged Man – Silence & Suspension
Death – Comfort with Change
Temperance – Moderation
Professional Note: I notice that most clients progress tremendously when the middle cards are present; typically having more than one or two.
3. The Cosmic Awakening (Cards XV-XXI)
Finally, the deck card is giving you enlightenment:
The Devil – Self-control
Tower – Honest foundations
The Star - Divine inspiration
The Moon – Dealing with emotions
The Sun – Optimism
Judgment - Rebirth
The World - Wholeness
Section 2: Deciphering Major Arcana Combinations
The power is when the cards are combined; it is the interactions:
☑️ The Tower + The Star: This is the collapse prior to your spiritual awakening.
☑️ The Lovers + The Devil: There is toxicity among your relationships, it is necessary for you to release this.
☑️ The Hermit + The World: You are in solitary period but it is leading you to life completion.
A client example: A businessman had the cards The Hanged Man and The Wheel of Fortune just prior to his company pivot; the cards illustrated that he would have to wait for the right timing.
