🃏 The 22 tarot card meanings

Major Arcana — upright and reversed, plus love, work and money

The 22 Major Arcana are the first thing anyone learns in tarot. From the Fool at 0 to the World at 21, they run in order as one person’s journey out into the world and back again.

The same card means different things upright and reversed. And what you asked about — love, work, money — changes the angle again.
