Don’t have a scalpel? Don’t worry.

For dissecting the tarot you only need a good deck of tarot cards.

Every Tarot deck has:


A. 78 cards
B. Two main groups:
- The Major Arcana (22 cards)
- The Minor Arcana (56 cards)










Within the Minor Arcana, there are many other groups.



First, the Minor Arcana is broken into 2 main groups:

1. Number Cards (40 cards) numbering one through ten in four distinct groups.
2. Court Cards (16 cards) are traditionally containing a Page, Knight, Queen, King

There are forty numbered cards.

Next, those 40 cards are divided into 4 distinct and equal groups .


Each of the 4 groups contains 10 cards, numbered 1-10.








Additionally, each of the four groups of numbered cards represents one of the four elements: earth, air, fire and water.

3. Earth (Pentacles, Coins, Disks) Physical such as money, work, skills, family, friends, possessions
4. Air (Swords, Knife) Mental
5. Water (Cups, Vessels, Bowls) Emotional
6. Fire (Wands, Rods, Batons) Spirit, passion, change, evolution

Then, there are 16 cards of the Minor Arcana belonging to the group called
the Court Cards.





Those 16 cards are then divided into
4 groups and 4 groups again.

Let me explain.

The court cards can be separated into

  • A. 4 groups of elements
    or
  • B. 4 groups of Court status, as explained in the photo below.
