It’s time for another Tarotcise, my dear Tarotcitas!

As you may know, Major Arcana represents the bigger picture or “fate”, while the Minor Arcana represents the day-to-day stuff. (Well, maybe you didn’t know that – but now you do!)

What if there were similar themes in both Majors and Minors? There are! Let’s look for those patterns.

Here’s what to do:

Separate your Majors and Minors. Now, choose a Major and start to pull out any Minors that might have a complementary interpretation or theme.

For example:

The Magician represents skill or talent. Minors that might pair well with it: Three of Pentacles or the Eight of Pentacles, both which represent apprenticeship and skill building.

The Sun is abundance, joy and success. How about the Four of Wands, which represents celebration? Or the Nine of Pentacles, which is enjoying the fruits of your labors?

Hint: when we are aware of what cards might pair up, it helps to build speed in your interpretations. When you see the Magician with the cards mentioned above, the shorthand would be: developing your talents to the next level. BAM!

So go ahead…make some Major and Minor pairs.

Blessings,

Theresa
