Tarot Card Meanings - Minor Arcana

The Major Arcana tarot cards focus on the deeper, more spiritual situations in our lives, while the Minor Arcana tarot cards will address more with the day to days in and outs of our lives in our physical reality. The Minor arcana tarot cards consist of the following four suits:

Cups, Wands, Swords and Pentacles.

There are 10 tarot cards for each minor arcana suit, numbered Ace to 10 as well as 4 court cards for each suit. Those 4 court cards are King, Queen, Knight and Page. Some tarot decks represent different court card for the knight and page, although the King and Queen seem to be standardized in most decks. The Knight can be called the Prince and the Page can be called the Princess. Additionally not all decks use the same 4 suits but they have the same meaning and interpretation. For example, if a deck contains the heart suit it would be the same as the cups, while batons would be the same as wands. It really depends on the tarot deck you are using.
