What Are the Minor Arcana? Minor Arcana Tarot Cards — General Meaning

The Minor Arcana Tarot Cards are the 56 cards that describe everyday life, emotions, and practical situations. Unlike the Major Arcana (big life lessons), the Minor Arcana focus on the small details of daily experiences.

They are divided into four suits:

• Wands → passion, action, creativity.

• Cups → emotions, relationships, love.

• Swords → thoughts, challenges, clarity.

• Pentacles → money, career, material life.

Each suit has 14 cards: Ace through 10 (numbers) + 4 court cards (Page, Knight, Queen, King).

How Minor Arcana Work

• Numbers (Ace–10): Everyday situations, from beginnings to completions.

• Court cards (Page, Knight, Queen, King): Different personalities, people, or energies influencing your life.

• Together they show how big lessons (Major Arcana) play out in your daily life.

Key Message

If the Major Arcana are the chapters of your life story, the Minor Arcana are the daily sentences that fill it in. They help you understand what to do here and now.
