Tarot Card Meanings

A complete guide to all 78 cards, Major and Minor Arcana, in the Rider-Waite tradition — upright and reversed.

Every tarot deck is built from 78 cards: 22 Major Arcana marking life's big turning points, and 56 Minor Arcana across four suits, Cups, Wands, Swords, and Pentacles, tracking the day-to-day texture of emotion, ambition, thought, and material life. This glossary walks through what each card means, upright and reversed, in plain language, the same tradition and approach I use in readings.
