Questions people ask
How many cards are in a tarot deck?
78: 22 Major Arcana cards and 56 Minor Arcana cards in four suits of 14 (Ace to Ten, Page, Knight, Queen and King).
What does a reversed card mean?
A card that appears upside down usually points to its energy being blocked, delayed, turned inward or overdone. Each card page gives the reversed meaning.
Is tarot part of Vedic astrology?
No. Tarot comes from a European tradition, and jyotish is Indian. Many people use both: jyotish for timing and the shape of a life, tarot for reflecting on a question in the moment.
Can tarot predict the future?
Tarot is best used for reflection. It helps you see a situation from a new angle; it does not guarantee what will happen.
