Tarot cards are typically decorated with a series of symbolic images and are used to tap into the subconscious mind in order to gain insight and guidance on a variety of topics. Tarot readings can provide insight into everything from love and relationships to career and life purpose.

Tarot decks typically consist of 78 cards, each with its own unique symbolism and meaning. The deck is divided into two categories: the Major Arcana, which consists of 22 cards representing major life themes and archetypes, and the Minor Arcana, which consists of 56 cards representing everyday experiences and challenges. While tarot readings are often associated with fortune-telling and predicting the future, many practitioners view tarot as a tool for personal growth and self-discovery.
