A typical tarot deck contains 78 cards consisting of the four suits seen in regular card games, which are hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs. The Latin version of the tarot deck has a different set of suits. They are swords, batons, cups, and coins. Like a regular deck, tarot cards are numbered from one to ten plus the four court cards; jack, queen, king, and ace.

Legions of the cards in the major arcana, the trump cards, are fairly logical. The Lovers act in place of love, in some quantity, while Strength is symbolic of courage and drive. Each of the cards in the minor arcana also carries meaning when used for divination, based on both the numeric value of the card and which suit it is. Meanings of each card may be found online, in books, or simply by interpreting the images on the card.

While you should expect a tarot studying over the phone to be rather expensive, do avoid questionable services charging by the minute.

Some might also offer online readings for a undersized sum, and provide their interpretation of the cards via email.



Tarot cards display a long experiences, both as a simple card game and as a device for divination. The avant-garde usage of these cards is purely esoteric.
