How to Interpret Tarot Yourself and Ask the Right Questions (and Debunk False Myths)
Tarot is a deck of 78 illustrated cards, divided into two main groups: the Major Arcana (22 cards) and the Minor Arcana (56 cards)

- Tarot is a self-care tool for self-discovery and personal growth, not fortune-telling.
- A tarot deck consists of 78 cards: 22 Major Arcana representing life lessons and 56 Minor Arcana reflecting daily experiences.
- The Minor Arcana are divided into four suits: Cups (emotions), Swords (mind), Wands (energy), and Pentacles (material world).

- When reading tarot, focus on the story the cards tell collectively, rather than memorizing individual meanings.
- Ask open-ended questions to seek guidance, not simple yes/no answers.
- Tarot does not predict the future or remove free will; cards like Death signify transformation, not literal demise.
