Presenting the Minor Arcana Tarot Cards The Minor Arcana consists of 56 tarot cards. These are made up of four suits that are known by different names. But for this example we will call them Cups, Wands, Pentacles, and Swords. The Minor Arcana consists of Aces, Court cards and numbers. The court cards represent people and situations. Readers interpretation of colouring can vary, but the court cards come into two categories of colouring—dark and light. Cups and Wands have light colouring while Pentacles and Swords are dark. I will present each Minor Arcana card and give a description and meaning for the upright card and the reversed card. You will also notice that each Minor Arcana card has a given number. You can learn the Major and Minor Arcana from the fabulous Tarot DVD presented by Deborah rose. In general terms the Swords represent animosity and struggle. They represent people with dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin. I will begin with the Ace of Swords.
The Ace of Swords represents a change in the persons life. It also suggests illness, depending on the surrounding cards.
The two of Swords means that you have reached a point in your life where you cannot move forward or backwards—Stalemate.
The three of swords represents unhappiness in relationships and possible separation. There is disappointment. It may suggest heart problems.
The four of Swords indicates a time to retreat to somewhere to rest, both physically and mentally. You could be visiting a hospital or a stay.
The Five of Swords shows selfishness, conflict and disputes amongst people. Generally five people are involved. Everyone appears to have a different opinion on a solution.
The six of Swords represents problems that are at an end. You are moving on to better times. Overseas travel is possible.
The seven of Swords represents quarrels and upsets. Luck has disappeared.
The Eight of Swords—You will feel restricted and unable to see a clear path ahead. Decisions are difficult.
The nine of Swords is a card of illness and misery, but recovery will be quick. Insomnia and worry.
The ten of Swords—This card indicates unhappiness and collapse of plans. It represents the end of something. This could be a situation or a relationship. It could indicate legal difficulties.
