Combinations of major arcana. The meaning of tarot cards in divination

The Tarot deck, consisting of 78 Arcana, includes 22 Major and 56 Minor cards. Elders reveal fate, they show important moments in life, major changes and events that we cannot control. The Minor Arcana are momentary moments, current affairs.

Today we will talk about how they interpret each other. It's quite complicated, but let's try to figure it out.

Tarot card interpretation

First, the interpretation of each card in relation to the position occupied is determined. The meaning of Tarot, the main provisions, is individual for each layout. From several possible ones, one is selected that corresponds to the question being asked in terms of meaning.

After considering the individual cards, you need to connect all the values ​​\u200b\u200binto the big picture, considering the combination of the Arcana and taking into account their influence on each other. Others can increase or decrease the weight of the card, clarify its meaning and direction. You need to study combinations not only in combinations, but also depending on their location. If there are contradictions and inconsistencies, this is normal. Life is also contradictory.

It is necessary to decide before starting fortune-telling, taking into account the inverted positions of the cards. In most Tarot schools, this meaning is considered the opposite in meaning to the direct location of the Arcana. However, for some (Devil, Wheel of Fortune, Sun, Hermit), the interpretation does not change, only strengthening or weakening occurs.

Meaning of the Major Arcana

The cards of the Major Arcana can be divided into three groups, 7 in each, they mean three cycles of human development:

  1. Youth, beginning - Star, Moon, Temperance, Wheel of Fortune, Lovers, Hermit, Peace.
  2. Maturity, experience - Empress, Priest, Mage, Sun, Devil, Strength, Chariot.
  3. Old age, wisdom - Priestess, Judgment, Tower, Hanged Man, Justice, Emperor, Death.

Depending on the number, the Major Arcana also means three areas of communication with the outside world:

  • cards 1 to 7 are responsible for the intellectual and spiritual world;
  • Arcana with numbers from 8 to 14 indicate the moral and emotional sphere;
  • the last seven cards determine the material and physical component of life.

Zero card - Jester, is generalizing for all other Arcana.

Meaning of the Minor Arcana

The Minor Arcana are divided into four suits, with 14 cards in each group. It was they who led to the appearance of the playing deck. Suits are swords, cups and denarii (pentacles). Each includes cards with values ​​from 1 (ace) to 10 and four curly ones: messenger, rider, sibyl, pharaoh.

Cards with numbers from 1 to 10 mean everyday feelings and situations, emotions, personality traits and qualities of other people. Character cards designate a specific person, his character traits and his role in your life and are responsible for communicating with others.

The order of interpretation of combinations of Arcana

  1. Determine the ruling group of cards, if any. We also pay attention to the absence of any suit in the layout.
  2. We take into account the interaction of the suits of the Minor Arcana.
  3. We select cards with strong influence. In the Major Arcana, this is the Magician, Priestess or Emperor, in the Minor Arcana, the kings (pharaohs).
  4. We consider groups of 2-3 closely spaced cards in the light of their influence on each other and taking into account the question asked.

The combination of Tarot cards with each other and interpretation. Major Arcana

The interaction of the Major Arcana enhances, reduces or clarifies the meaning of each other. If one card is just a hint, then two is a very clear answer. For example:

  1. Chariot, Tower, Star, Wheel of Fortune and Death, in combination with others, portend changes, the nature of which will be determined by the second card.
  2. The presence of the Mage card means a new path, the beginning of something. The second card defines the essence of the undertaking.
  3. The appearance of the Jester card speaks of happiness and a positive mood of events. Inverted, it indicates the stupidity of the question and vain anxiety regarding the second Arcana.
  4. The presence of the Priestess card brings wisdom, understanding, and the need for development into the layout.

Minor Arcana Combinations

How to decipher the combination of Tarot cards with each other in the layouts, if we are talking about the Minor Arcana? In this case, the suit and number of each card matter most.

Combination of the suit of wands:

  • With cards of the same suit, there is no time for emotions, only actions matter. You need to think and act quickly and decisively.
  • With cups - talking about heart and family problems, solving cases related to feelings. Positive cards speak of favorable events, a combination with negative cards (7 and 8 of cups, 4, 7 and 8 of wands) promises quarrels and contention.
  • With pentacles - problems in financial or other matters. The result of the decision is positive with a combination of positive cards, with unfavorable ones (7, 8 and 5 of wands or 7 and 5 of pentacles) it indicates non-repayment of debts or lack of money.
  • With swords - show the situation with thoughtless, impulsive words and actions. This combination is not given much importance in the scenario.

The meaning of the combination of cards of cups:

  • With cups - pure thoughts, philanthropy, pleasant company. It means the primacy of feelings and emotions over everything else.
  • With swords - reckless strong affects: severe pain, grief or joy, love or passion. This is a bad combination of cards for a divination object.
  • With pentacles - speaks of the receipt or loss of any feelings. With positive cards, it promises profit in spiritually significant matters, with negative ones (4, 5 and 8 cups and 5, 7 and predicts parting, separation or loss.

The combination of the suit of swords with cards:

  • Swords - the highest degree of fear, anger, anger or grief. Negative emotions cloud the mind. A positive interpretation will be in the presence of the Major Arcana, speaking of a normal situation, then this is an unnecessary panic, a temporary state.
  • Pentacles - the struggle for property, while they denote loss or gain, and swords mark varying degrees of severity of the situation.

The combination of Tarot cards with each other (Major and Minor Arcana)

Due to the huge number of possible combinations, it is difficult to give a description for each specific case. To do this, it is better to turn to specialized sites that consider each combination of Tarot cards separately. But you can rely on your intuition and logic. To do this, we use the following elements of the interpretation of combinations of Arcana:

  1. The numbering of Tarot cards shows the stages in the development of the situation: small ones indicate the beginning of the event, medium ones indicate its climax, the last numbers indicate the completion and outcome of the cycle. This rule applies to both the Minor and Major Arcana.
  2. The main areas indicated by the appearance of one or another suit of the Minor in combination with the cards of the Major Arcana:
  • Love, friendship, joy and harmony, rest and enjoyment, creativity and art.
  • Wands (scepters). Entrepreneurship, development and energy, position in society, fame, politics and management.
  • Swords. Hostility and conflict, rivalry and struggle.
  • Pentacles (Denarius). Wealth, well-being, health, business communication and contacts, business, success in achieving goals.

Influence of the suit of the Minor Arcana

Now you know how to explain the combination of Tarot cards with each other in different layouts. Now is the time to talk about the influence of suits. In the light of various aspects of human life, wands are responsible for spiritual development, and swords for intellectual development. Cups define the emotional area, pentacles mean the material and physical world. For example, the presence of several cards of wands in the layout means a holiday. Several cups will hint at a love adventure. Many swords portend problems and strife, and a large number of pentacles promise money matters.

Cards of the same suit increase mutual strength. Different Arcana can weaken or neutralize each other's action. The influence of the suits on each other can be determined by their belonging to the elements: wands represent Fire, goblets represent Water, swords belong to Air, and pentacles belong to Earth. Based on this, wands are opposed to cups, and swords are opposed to pentacles. Strengthening the value of cards occurs when swords are combined with cups and wands, wands and cups are friendly to pentacles.

Influence of the ruling group of cards

The ruling is the predominance of cards of the same suit in the Minor Arcana or cards of the same sphere of development in the Elder. This means that the circumstances revealed by the cards of the ruling group are most important in this situation and will influence all other life events.

  • A large number of Major Arcana in the alignment speaks of the exceptional importance of the situation and great changes in a person's life.
  • The predominance of digital cards of the Younger testifies to the influence of everyday and fleeting affairs, the scope of which is determined by the ruling suit.
  • If figured (palace) cards of the Minor Arcana often fall out in the layout, this indicates a strong influence of other people and extraneous factors on the development of the situation, or warns of the emergence of circumstances beyond the control of the person himself.
  • A lot of inverted Arcana means problems and obstacles in life and achieving a goal.

Here is such an interesting, mysterious, completely unknown world of Tarot. Do you believe in his power and knowledge? The choice is yours.

So, first of all, consider the combination of the Major Arcana. Tarot define this category as looking "to the root" and showing the future. Each of the combinations of the major arcana:

Mage- of all the cards of the major arcana, it denotes an independent beginning of something, a new road. Mastery of skills and abilities, training also goes on this card. It is impossible to consider the meaning of each card with the other 71 cards, but one can learn to interpret by applying logic. The combination of the Magician card with the Chariot, for example, symbolizes rapid movement towards a new road. This may be applying for admission to a university or applying for a job. The meaning of the Magician and the Moon denotes an unsuccessful start, an unknown road, a person does not fully own the information and wants to start his plan.

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

Of the major arcana, the Jester is the most good-natured and neutral. Therefore, it is important which cards will be next to it - the negative ones will hint at stupidity, and the positive ones will hint at the happiness and good mood of the whole layout. Often the Jester falls out of all cards indicating the stupidity of the question, they say "there are no problems in your question, everything is fine."

Card meaning Priestesses in the scenario, it always speaks of some kind of purity and wisdom. Its combination with the minor and major arcana indicates the need to treat the situation wisely and with understanding. For such cards as the Priestess, there are special situations - for example, deep immersion in study, female wisdom. The meaning of the Priestess next to the card Emperor, Hermit, Mage or Priest indicates the need to gain experience - which one 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 is rather an opportunity to develop and reach a new level.

Technique for interpreting combinations

How do we make these interpretations? Simple and clear method:

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

But all cards have positive and negative values. Here is a short description of them.

  • Magician - a new way, a new road and new knowledge. Rigidity, unwillingness to listen to advice and
  • Jester - the joy of life, interest, lack of omniscience. Stupidity and carelessness.
  • Priestess - female wisdom and desire to learn. Withdrawal from society and immersion in oneself.
  • Isis - the birth of a new life, the harvest and fruits of labor. Domestic problems and lack of inner depth.
  • Emperor - protection and stability in life. Submission to the system.
  • Priest - the ability and desire to teach someone, wisdom, authority. Excessive exactingness and compliance with ideals.
  • Two roads - a map of choice.
  • Chariot - the road, fast driving, the desire to hasten events and speed up the course of the situation.
  • Justice - the situation will be decided and the outcome will be lawful.
  • Hermit - leaving people and the desire to develop. Loneliness for the sake of self-development.
  • The wheel of fortune - it spins and shows the fast pace of events. Changing the situation.
  • Taming a lion is a fight with your fears. Development of willpower, taming the situation.
  • Hanged man - hanging situation, the inability to do anything. The need for patience.
  • Death is a change in the situation, abrupt 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
  • The world is a very positive card, a card of happiness.

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

  • a combination of cards Chariot, Magician and 6 swords will talk about changes + new roads + abrupt departures - moving. 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 6 bowls will, on the contrary, speak of positive changes - for example, marriage or the birth of a child.

This example does not claim to be unique. It is in this technique that you need to look at the combination of all Tarot cards in the layout. Consider the meaning of Tarot combinations according to the suits of the minor arcana:

Minor Arcana combinations

Wands (Dominion)

1. The suit of wands in divination in conjunction with:

  • any of the cards of cups means talking about love, about family, solving cases related to feelings. Negative cards (7 and 8 of bowls, as well as 7,8,4 of wands) in conjunction can talk about quarrels. Positive - about good events.
  • with any of the cards of the suit of sickles - about financial and business problems. Their decision depends on which cards are dealt. Negative - 7, 5 Sickles and 7,5,8 of Wands can talk about non-payment of debts, lack of money.
  • with at least one of the cards of swords - in this scenario, the tarot shows a situation where words and actions are performed impulsively, thoughtlessly. This alignment should not be given great importance in fortune-telling.
  • with cards of wands - if there are only cards of wands in the layout, 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 heartless, just no time for feelings.

Cups (Satiety)

2. The meaning of the cards of cups in combination with:

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

Swords (Peace Restored)

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

  • sheekles - acquire the meaning of a struggle for property, it is 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 turns out sharp and unexpected losses or acquisitions.
  • swords - if there are only swords in divination, then this is the highest manifestation of fear, anger or grief. When feelings overshadow the mind, this is also a moment where support is needed. If the major arcana speak of a normal state in the situation, then it is necessary to explain this to the questioner - everything will change, these are just his exaggerations.

If the point of the sword on the Ace of Swords card is directed upwards, and the image of the crown is located above it, then this is a symbol of the sword of God.

Major Arcana Tarot Combination

Tarot cards are the most trusted assistant for those who want to get the answers of fate. True, not everyone wants to share information. It is not enough just to 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 scenario allow not only to state the upcoming changes, but also to determine their vector.

We look, we analyze, we remember…

So, it would seem, rosy and pleasant. However, the combination of the major tarot arcana with favorable or unfavorable minors can completely change the whole picture. We take all the same "Hermit" and analyze.

  • 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 beggarly existence, and next to a nine, a well-deserved permanent prosperity, respect and prosperity.
  • And what about in tandem with the cups, which are responsible for the affairs of the heart? Ace - love without reciprocity, five and eight - partings, scandals and quarrels. But the triple of bowls next to the "Hermit" will hint that a happy union, including marriage, can await the fortuneteller ahead.

Fortune telling on the major arcana - together or against

The names of some cards can scare - what is it worth, for example, "The Devil" or "The Hanged Man"? In reality, these cards are not so terrible, because in their main meaning they personify the usual temptations, doubts, uncertainty and change. But how successfully and bloodlessly it will be possible to overcome the "obstacle course", the lasso in the neighborhood will tell.

If the issue is really important, it requires not just a momentary analysis, but also forecasts for the future, it is better to look at a possible combination of senior tarots. The same "Devil" next to the lasso "Peace" promises the appearance of a way out of an insoluble (seemingly) situation. "Strength" hints at a whirlwind romance - and far from platonic! But it is 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 reassess the situation and suggest the necessary steps.

The values ​​\u200b\u200bof combinations of tarot cards in layouts will greatly help both beginners who want to master the skill of divination, and more experienced people in this matter.

        Hanged

        The Hanged Man and the Magician in the reverse position and the Ace of Swords in the direct:

        • Living in an environment where one relies on others. He is too focused on what people are doing, the opinion of society is important to him. His opinion is based on their opinion. These people pretend to know everything, but this is just an illusion. They only know how to manipulate because they themselves benefit from it. From their perspective, this is correct. So they don't tell the truth, they lie (for selfish reasons).
        • But the questioner does the same with himself. He lies to himself, applying their approach as the truth, because he already knows the truth. These cards say that he will have the opportunity to come to a conclusion and dispel the ambiguity.

        Death, Queen of Cups and Ace of Cups vertically:

They were friends for a while. Also, this person sees the questioner as a very intuitive and creative person. He feels that the person understands him, and he likes it.
        • When it comes to relationships or a former partner, these are very emotional cards and there are places for deep feelings. Also, the partner sees in him a very emotional person who needs to express his feelings through art.
        • If the fortuneteller asks if someone has feelings for him, and these cards fall out, this is a very good sign, because these cards show only positive emotions. If so, you need to use your intuition in this situation.

        • If there is a relationship, this combination shows that the partners are good to each other, but sometimes they think about the other person. In these relations, a change or a transition to a new level is necessary.

        Six of Wands, Death and Four of Swords reversed:

        • There is success and victory in this combination, but it is hard to accept.
        • Recognition will only emphasize worthy qualities. This is because the death card in reverse shows that you need to accept the change that is associated with success.

        Death in reverse and Six of Pentacles upright:

        • Someone is going to share something with the questioner that will make it easier to make decisions.

Understanding combinations of Tarot cards is the next step in mastering the skill of divination. This concept means a certain arrangement of cards in a particular layout. The major arcana of the Tarot are the most important in the deck, and they play a major role in many divination. If such cards fall out in the layout, then this is a signal of something important and you should definitely pay attention to it. A more striking sign is the combination of the Major Arcana, which indicates something very serious. Good or bad is a symbol, it depends on the specific cards that have fallen.

Major Arcana Tarot Combination

There are exactly 22 major arcana in the Tarot deck, which do not have a suit and are simply numbered. Each card has its own unique drawing and name. It is worth noting that different decks have different images, but there is always a combination of the major arcana of Tarot cards.

To guess the Tarot, you need to have certain knowledge, since the same card in different layouts can carry different information and it all depends on the specific situation and issue. It is important to take into account not only the meaning of the card that has fallen out, but also the combination of the major arcana of the Tarot with each other and with the minor arcana. It is worth noting that there are no strict rules in the interpretation of combinations, because everything depends on the chosen deck and interpretation technique. Other factors should also be taken into account, for example, in what position the card is located, that is, in an upside down or upright state.

The meaning of the combinations of the major arcana can significantly change the meaning of the whole layout, giving a new interpretation to the well-known meanings of the cards. It is this information that is the meaning of the alignment.

Rules and subtleties for determining important combinations:

In conclusion, I would like to say that you should not memorize the existing combinations of cards, since the Tarot philosophy involves a “live” interpretation, that is, depending on the situation.
