The Tarot cards that make up the Major Arcana represent important life events. They are powerful messages of one’s soul destiny and life purpose. These cards appear to align you with your higher calling and the path you are meant to walk. They are pillars of guidance and bring messages of hope. They are silent, watchful, and wise. We all walk the path of The Fool’s Journey where we encounter the lessons that leave a memorable mark on our lives. What you choose to do with these lessons is up to you.
You begin each new cycle as The Fool. Prompted by a new choice, you have taken a leap of faith into this exciting new journey! You soon encounter The Magician, who reminds you that you are a magical being who has the tools to create anything, all you need to do is believe in yourself. Your journey leads you to The High Priestess, laced in mystery, who encourages you to look inward, your intuition and dreams hold so much insight. Next, The Empress shows you the power that comes from being nurturing and allowing an idea to grow. This lesson is followed by The Emperor who shows you the power that comes from being a wise, trusting leader. Next, The Hierophant appears, reminding you to listen to sage advice on your journey and to also trust yourself to discern the messages of others. The Lovers swoop in next to remind you to choose with your heart. Once that path has been determined, the first of your tests appear in the form of The Chariot; this forces you to take control of the opposing powers. Your next challenge is Strength: approach problems with peace and clarity and you will succeed. The Hermit crosses your path to remind you of the power you can draw from being alone, giving you time to process what you have so far learned. Stepping back into the outside world trusts you into The Wheel of Fortune, where fate humbles your journey. You pause again on Justice, giving you the chance to ponder your karma and find your inner truth.
Next, you encounter The Hanged Man, giving you the opportunity to see your journey from a new perspective. Just in time to change things up! But you’re not afraid of Death, in fact, you welcome the transformation now that you are wiser. You emerge into Temperance, a chance to rest and ponder your new spiritual understandings. You are now ready to face The Devil, who shakes things up, asks what beliefs are you still chained to that you need to release. YOU hold the power, and the break from this is The Tower! Everything crumbles! The Star gives you a magical, peaceful moment of rest, ready to guide you when you are ready to move forward. When you do, you met The Moon, who tests you yet again with images of things that aren’t as they appear. The night ends as The Sun rises, and you rejoice as you see the world in a fresh light. Judgement guides you to your final revelation of your life’s journey, which leads you to The World. The completion of this journey, and a hint that a new, beautiful cycle will soon begin!
