Marseilles Tarot: meaning and interpretation of maps

If you decide to conduct fortune-telling on maps, then the Marseilles Tarot will do the best. It is used both by novice fortunetellers, and more experienced, and all thanks to its simplicity in the interpretation and layout. In total, the deck contains 78 cards (22 senior and 56 junior arcana). That the interpretation was simpler, we will give a description of each Tarot card (Marseilles).

Fool

So, let's start sorting out the values. Marseilles Tarot starts its numbering not with 1, but from scratch - an unnumbered card. She is the "Fool" (or "Fool"). In the direct position, it symbolizes the movement for the better. His appearance indicates that the person is on the right track and is striving for positive changes. In an inverted position, "Jester" means stagnation and failure to change. A person in this state does not seek to change anything in his usual life, even if the changes will benefit him.

Senior Arcanes (1-9)

Now let's move on to the numbered positions that the Marseilles Tarot can give to a person. The importance of the cards of the senior arcane is most important in the hands and always plays a decisive role.

1. "The magician." His appearance indicates that a person is the master of his destiny and all that he does leads to success. This card is really strong people's spirit. In an inverted position, it symbolizes missed opportunities and vices associated with working capacity.
2. "High Priestess." Influences knowledge and training. The opposite is unresolved problems, indecisiveness and hypocrisy.
3. The Empress. It promises good luck in negotiations and dialogues, but if you are not lucky to get it turned upside down, then be ready for a loss.
4. The Emperor. It symbolizes everything connected with power. Otherwise, he crosses out everything, turning positive features into flaws.
5. "High priest". Guarantees the protection and favor of the higher powers in any matters. In an inverted position, promises failure.
6. "Lovers". Symbolize the path selection in any position. In one case, easy and voluntary, in the other - forced and painful.
7. "Chariot". He speaks of progress and triumph in human life. In a negative sense, it is also a failure and a depression.
8. "Justice". The name speaks for itself. Among the negative consequences - theft or loss of control.
9. "Hermit". Wisdom of loneliness, reflection. In contrast, stagnation and passivity are put.

Elder Arcana (10-22)

Now came the turn of the second ten of the senior lasso, which contains the Marseilles Tarot. It can not be said that they are less important than their predecessors, but they still exert less influence on the fate of a person.

1. "Wheel of Fortune" is a map of movement, and in the positive direction. If it comes in an inverted form, it means helplessness.
2. "Force". The meaning of the card in the title. Its "reflection" will be impulsiveness and tyranny.
3. "Hanged" symbolizes the victim and the need to follow his path, even if he is heavy. Everything should calm down by itself. In an inverted position, it indicates a series of failures and a moral breakdown.
4. "Nameless". Revival and transformation. In the negative sense - loss of goals and despondency.
5. "Moderation". Guarantees good health and peace. Denying this card, a person must prepare for chaos in his life.
6. "Devil". Inverted state is the source of energy. In the original, it absorbs all the best in man.
7. "The Tower" is a symbol of trials. And only being upside down, the card warns of the danger, but still has a negative character.
8. "Star". Peacefulness, success. The inverted "Star" is failure and isolation.
9. "Moon" symbolizes insanity and loneliness. Upside down - speaks of dreaminess and unconsciousness.
10. "Sun" is the exact opposite of "Moon" and is treated the same way.
11. "Court" gives protection and success, in an inverted state - failure and refusal.
12. "Peace" is the best that can fall out if you use the Marseilles Tarot. Guarantees success in any endeavor. Its reverse meaning also promises victory, but only much more slowly.
