Combination of Major Arcana Tarot

Tarot cards are the most proven assistant for those who want to receive answers from fate. True, not everyone will want to share information with everyone. It is not enough to simply learn the meaning of individual cards - the system is too complex, and the combination of Tarot arcana sometimes turns out to be the most significant. Additions in any case allow not only to state the upcoming changes, but also to determine their vector.

We look, analyze, remember...

It would seem so rosy and pleasant. However, a combination of the major arcana of the tarot with favorable or unfavorable minor ones can completely change the whole picture. Let’s take the same “Hermit” and analyze it.

• Pentacles fell in the neighborhood - fate prophesies changes in the material sphere. But what will they be? In combination with a five, this card promises a stable, miserable existence, and next to a nine - well-deserved constant wealth, respect and prosperity.
• What’s in tandem with the cups, which are responsible for matters of the heart? Ace - love without reciprocity, five and eight - partings, scandals and quarrels. But the three of cups next to the “Hermit” will hint that a happy union, including a marriage, may await the fortuneteller ahead.

Fortune telling on the major arcana - together or against

The names of some cards can be scary - what is it worth, for example, “Devil” or “Hanged Man”? In reality, these cards are not so scary, because in their basic meaning they personify ordinary temptations, doubts, uncertainty and change. But how successfully and bloodlessly one will be able to overcome the “obstacle course” will be told by the arcana in the neighborhood.

If the issue is truly important and requires not just momentary analysis, but also forecasts for the future, it is better to look at the possible combination of senior tarots. The same “Devil” next to the lasso “Peace” promises the emergence of a way out of a (seemingly) insoluble situation. "Power" hints at a whirlwind romance - and it's far from platonic! But it’s worth thinking deeply when you see that the “Tower” has fallen nearby - the tandem symbolizes a complete collapse, a catastrophe. Such a multi-level analysis will help to assess the situation in a new way and suggest the necessary steps.

The meanings of combinations of tarot cards in layouts will greatly help both beginners who want to master the skill of fortune telling, and more experienced people in this matter. There are many different decks, the most common is the Waite Tarot, but the meaning of the cards does not change, but is only supplemented.

Almost every person has encountered Tarot cards in their life. Some wondered about them for themselves, while others simply accidentally came across them in a store of interesting things. But at these moments a person does not even think about the significance of these cards, about what the combination of Tarot cards means with each other, and what each combination means. If it comes directly to fortune telling, then without knowledge of the Tarot combination, it is impossible to obtain an accurate interpretation.

Numbers and suits of Tarot cards

Each of the Tarot cards has its own number, which has a special meaning depending on developing events. In most cases, the numbers on the cards can be divided into three groups in ascending order. Small numbers indicate the birth of something new, medium numbers indicate the completion of the same event, but higher numbers indicate the denouement, that is, the final stage of a certain cycle. This rule applies to all types of Arcana..

Cards are divided into minor and major arcana (often also called great and trump cards), the latter of which are divided into four suits:

• sword - denotes an unequal struggle, centuries-old hostility;
• cup - indicates an idyll in human relationships;
• pentacles - portend material success, as well as good health;
• rod - indicates respect in society.

The Minor Arcana vary depending on the number, but among people who regularly engage in fortune telling, they are divided into four known card suits: spades, clubs, diamonds, hearts. In the same order, they correspond to Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles.

Each suit belongs to a separate element: fire, water, air, earth. The order of correspondence is the same.

The fact that the suits maintain a constant order suggests that the given situation will develop gradually, without upsetting the balance.

In the interpretation of number cards, one cannot help but touch upon numerology, since cards with an even number correspond to stability, and with an odd number they speak of impulses.

Thanks to the information received, it has already become clear what the combination of Tarot cards in certain layouts means, but in order to fully study the whole mystery of the Tarot, you just need to turn to the Arcana of the Tarot - a complete encyclopedia of combinations.

Now you need to understand what influence the suits themselves have. If you look at it comprehensively, the Wands are responsible for the state of the soul, its development, the Swords, in turn, are responsible for the intellectual side of a person. Cups can indicate emotions, and Pentacles can indicate material condition, as well as physical activity. If several Cups appear in a love scenario, then undoubtedly expect love adventures. If several Wands fall out, then expect a holiday or some kind of fun. Swords, in plural, mean quarrels and showdowns, and several pentacles portend financial well-being. Suited cards enhance their designation.

Courtyard cards

Court cards are perhaps one of the most vague categories in the Tarot. Since there are human images on the cards, the interpretation is ambiguous: either the card indicates a person, or the situation itself that is depicted on the cards. There is no definite answer, which means it’s worth interpreting based on the situation.

Court cards have four categories: king, queen, knight, page.

The leaders in the layout will be those cards that are of the same suit as the Minor Arcana or those whose sphere of development coincides with the senior ones. This means that the situation that develops in the reading with the ruling cards will affect future life events.

If there are many major arcana in the layout, then soon serious changes will occur in a person’s life. If the predominant number of cards belong to the minor arcana, then this will affect everyday or everyday affairs, but the mood will certainly determine the suit of the ruler.

If between the laid out cards there is a larger number of courtyard Minor Arcana, then this will indicate the influence of outsiders in relation to the developing situation. And if there are several inverted Arcana in the cards, then you should be wary of obstacles in achieving your goal.

How to interpret card combinations?

It is almost impossible to memorize the meanings of all Tarot cards and their combinations with each other. But you can remember simple rules that will help you make the most correct and accurate prediction possible.

The rules are as follows:

1. Determine which group of cards has the most powerful meaning in your layout. This is the so-called “ruling group”. The easiest way to do this is by counting which Tarot cards of which suit were drawn the most.
2. Read about how the Minor Arcana interact with each other to understand the principle of interpretation.
3. Remember that the most powerful cards among the Major Arcana are the Emperor, Priestess and Magician. Among the Younger, these are the Kings.
4. In the layout itself, carefully study which arcana surrounded the strongest cards. In this case, you need to take into account the purpose and features of fortune telling.
5. Pay attention to the numbering of the arcana in the layout. The very first ones usually talk about the reasons for a particular situation, the middle ones - about the state of affairs at the moment, and the extreme ones - about the result that is most likely in the future.

First, carefully study the theory, and then start practicing in simple layouts, gradually increasing the level of difficulty. Then sooner or later the Tarot cards will reveal all their secrets to you.

When you are ready, draw a card:

Combining tarot cards is perhaps the most difficult stage in fortune telling on such a complex deck as tarot. But this is necessary in any case, because in order to interpret the layout, you need to see the whole picture. And this is the combination of suits and arcana.

So, first of all, let's look at the combination of the Major Arcana. Tarot defines this category as looking “at the root” and showing the future. Each of the combinations of the major arcana:

The Magician - of all the cards of the major arcana, denotes the independent beginning of something, a new path. Mastery of skills and abilities, training also follows this map. It is impossible to consider the meaning of each card with the other 71 cards, but one can learn to interpret using logic. The combination of the Magician card with the Chariot, for example, symbolizes rapid movement towards a new road. This could be submitting documents for admission to a university or applying for a job. The meaning of the Magician and the Moon means a bad start, an unknown road, a person does not fully have the information and wants to start what he has planned.

The Jester is the second most important of all tarot cards, symbolizing a child, interest in life, lack of ambition and know-it-all. Wide eyes and outlook on life. The combination of the cards Jester and Magician, for example, symbolizes a smart person who begins to master new heights and learn something again.

Of the major arcana, the Jester is the most good-natured and neutral. Therefore, it is important what cards will be next to her - negative ones will hint at stupidity, and positive ones will hint at happiness and good mood of the entire layout. Often the Jester falls out of all cards indicating the stupidity of the question, saying “there is no problem in your question, everything is fine.”

The meaning of the Priestess card in the layout always speaks of a certain purity and wisdom. Its combination with the minor and major arcana indicates the need to approach the situation wisely and with understanding. For cards such as the Priestess, there are special situations - for example, deep immersion in study, female wisdom. The meaning of the Priestess next to the Emperor, Hermit, Magician or Priest card speaks of the need to gain experience - what kind of experience depends on the situation in which the questioner finds himself. In any case, this is not a situation where you need to turn around and leave. It's more of an opportunity to develop and reach a new level.

Methodology for interpreting combinations

How do we make such interpretations? A simple and clear technique:

value of 1 card + value of 2 cards = overall picture;

But all cards have positive and negative meanings. Let us give short descriptions of them.

• Magician - a new path, a new road and new knowledge. Rigidity, unwillingness to listen to advice and
• The jester is the joy of life, interest, lack of know-it-all. Stupidity and carelessness.
• Priestess – feminine wisdom and desire to learn. Withdrawal from society and immersion in oneself.
• Isis - the birth of a new life, the receipt of harvest and fruits of labor. Everyday problems and lack of inner depth.
• The Emperor is protection and stability in life. Submission to the system.
• Priest - the ability and desire to teach someone, wisdom, authorities. Excessive demands and compliance with ideals.
• Two roads - a map of choice.
• Chariot – road, fast driving, the desire to rush things and speed up the situation.
• Justice – the situation will be resolved and the outcome will be fair.
• Hermit – withdrawal from people and the desire to develop. Loneliness for self-development.
• The wheel of fortune - it spins and shows the rapid course of events. Changing the situation.
• Taming a lion - fighting your fears. Developing willpower, taming the situation.
• Hanged Man - the situation is frozen, the inability to do anything. The need for patience.
• Death is a change in situation, sudden and unexpected.
• Devil - temptation
• Star - new hopes
• Moon - deceptions and self-deceptions, disappointments.
• The sun is family happiness, happiness in life.
• Judgment - the revival of something old
• Peace is a very positive card, a card of happiness.

Now the main provisions - a combination of the cards Two Roads, Chariot, Tower, Wheel of Fortune, Death and Star with other cards speaks of change. And the meaning of the other second card will speak about the nature of these changes. For example:

• a combination of cards Chariot, Magician and 6 swords will speak of changes + new roads + sudden departures and relocations. Those. in fortune telling, there is clearly not a positive dynamic: events will develop quickly and, most likely, will bring stress to the questioner.
• the combination of the same Chariot with Isis and the 6 cups will, on the contrary, speak of positive changes - for example, marriage or the birth of a child.

This example is not intended to be unique. It is in this technique that you need to look at the combination of all tarot cards in the layout. Let's consider the meaning of tarot combinations according to the suits of the minor arcana:

Minor Arcana in combinations

1. Suit of wands in fortune telling in conjunction with:

• any of the cards of cups means talking about love, family, solving matters related to feelings. Negative cards (7 and 8 cups, as well as 7,8,4 wands) in conjunction can indicate quarrels. Positive - about good events.
• with any of the cards of the shekel suit - about financial and business problems. Their decision depends on what cards are dealt. Negative - 7, 5 shekels and 7,5,8 wands can indicate non-payment of debts, lack of money.
• with at least one of the sword cards - this tarot layout shows a situation where words and actions are committed impulsively, thoughtlessly. This alignment should not be given much importance in fortune telling.
• with cards of wands - if the layout contains only cards of wands, this indicates the presence of actions in the situation where there is no place for emotions. You need to think and do everything quickly, there is no time to think about sorrows. It's not that it's heartless, it's just that there's no time for feelings.

2.The meaning of cup cards in combination with:

• cups - naked feelings, love for people, good company. In this scenario, the meaning of cups speaks of a situation in which there are only emotions - be it a breakup or a quarrel. Since the minor arcana mean only a short-term situation, the presence of the major arcana is necessary for clarification.
• with swords - a situation of acute and strong feelings, which are also thoughtless. It can be passion, an experience of severe pain or shock, immense joy and the same grief. In a tarot card layout, this position of the cards is quite strong and indicates the poor state of the questioner. If the major arcana promises change, then it is worth supporting him. Make it clear that everything will change soon.
• shekels - talk about spending or receiving joy, love and care. In such fortune telling, it can be deciphered as follows: feelings + gaining/losing something. If the cards are positive (3, 2, 1, 6, 9, 10 cups and 1,2,3,4,6,9,10 wands) then this is receipt, profit in matters of spiritual importance. And if negative, then loss, separation.

3. Cards of swords in fortune telling in combination with cards of such arcana as:

• Sikli - take on the meaning of a struggle for property, it’s like a war for a house, for food and bread. In general, tarot cards speak of shekels as gains and losses, and swords are characterized as acute situations. It results in acute and unexpected losses or gains.
• swords - if there are only swords in fortune telling, then this is the highest manifestation of fear, anger or grief. When feelings cloud your mind, this is also a moment where support is needed. If the major arcana speak about the normal state of a situation, then it is necessary to explain this to the questioner - everything will change, these are just his exaggerations.
