TAROT BOSTON - THE MAJOR ARCANA

The Major Arcana

The Major Arcana forms the heart of the Tarot—a sequence of twenty-two cards that chart the soul’s journey through growth, challenge, and awakening. Beginning with The Fool, representing innocence and boundless potential, and ending with The World, symbolizing fulfillment and unity, the Major Arcana reflects the cycles of human experience. Each card captures a universal archetype. with figures such as The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress, and The Hermit, mirroring the spiritual, emotional, and psychological stages we encounter in life.

These cards are often viewed as keys to understanding life’s larger lessons. While the Minor Arcana focuses on daily events and personal interactions, the Major Arcana speaks to destiny, transformation, and the greater forces shaping one’s path. Every card embodies both positive and shadow aspects, reminding us that growth emerges from balance: light and dark, action and reflection.

Ultimately, the Major Arcana invites introspection. It guides us to recognize patterns, embrace transformation, and trust the unfolding of life’s lessons. Each draw becomes not just a prediction, but a reflection i.e., a mirror through which we rediscover our own potential for wisdom, wholeness, and renewal.
