Most of us are familiar with the future-telling tarot card. But not all of us are aware of the rich historical and magical meanings behind each individual card. The tarot is an ornate deck of cards usually adorned with symbols (such as stars and crosses) and images (water, trees, maidens), and is broken down as what is referred to as the Major Arcana and four suits of cards. Every individual card possesses its own meaning, and a series of cards with their individual meanings makes up a unique story for each tarot reading.

The 'Fool' tarot card stands for unenlightened person; the 'Magician' represents a very talented person; the 'High Priestess' stands for wisdom and intuitive ability; the 'Empress' governs the cycle of birth, death and re-birth; the 'Emperor' stands for worldly power; following ceremonies and beliefs is represented by the 'Pope'; love is represented by the 'Lovers'; the 'Chariot' stands for struggle; Strength' represents exactly what it implies; the 'Hermit' stands for soul-searching; the 'Sun' represents contentment; while the 'Moon' is associated with feminism and seduction.

Likewise, the 'Star' would reflect hope and a positive-approach. The 'Swords' are a suit and are used to predict mental changes and sufferings. The emotional life of a person and the changes associated with it are represented by the tarot suit of 'Cups'. If you want to predict the changes in your work then the 'Wands' tarot suit will emerge. Materialistic things like money and luxury are represented by the 'Pentacles' suit.

The card of 'Justice' stands for justice while the card of 'Death' stands for the 'spiritual/mental death'. Self sacrifice is shown by the 'Hanged Man'. The 'Tower' symbolizes a sudden change. Balance and harmony are represented by the card of 'Temperance'. 'Judgment' stands for introspection. All these cards lead to the card of the 'World'.
