Tarot is the trip in which you end up precisely where you started, much like life. This concept is reinforced in the Black Cat’s Tarot, publicized by Lo Scarabeo and Maria Kuara as the artist. The cards are on rather traditional card stock and some of the images’ darker areas are lacking in visual detail. But the artwork is stunning. The card has a white cat portrayed as the Fool starting on an adventure.

Throughout the rest of the cards, including the suits, the cats are portrayed as black cats. The Sun card image brings the joyous image of its meaning in this deck wouldn’t be considered traditional Rider-Waite because several of the photos stray from the conventional. Most notable is the Hierophant card, which shows a black cat offering cheese to some white rats.

This is either transcendence of one’s nature to guide and lead or it is an image of how easily one can be deceived and put in danger by blindly following an ideal without questioning the motive behind it. Either bring a depth of meaning to the card that sets this deck apart from other Tarot decks. Another compelling image is the 7 of swords. Traditionally the 7 of swords are shown to be a person who appears to have obtained mastery through trickery or deceit. In the Black Cats Tarot, the image is of a cat using resources available to them to achieve a goal.

This adds an introduction to the achievement of a goal. Accomplishments are fulfilled by cleverness and ingenuity as well as or despite sneakiness or lies. Also, of note is the gender neutrality of the cat. There are no defining characteristics that would point to male or female, making this a perfect deck for remaining detached from usual stereotypes that can skew the reading. In the final card of Fool’s journey, the World shows a black cat shedding his skin to reveal the white cat from the Fool card underneath.

It is a beautiful way of showing that although one makes this journey and is undeniably changed by every person and experience along the way, that at the end they remain intact. This is an exciting deck of beauty and depth that should have a place in any Tarot enthusiast’s collection.

Tarot Decks are made up of 22 cards, which are the Major Arcana and 56 cards, which drive up the Minor Arcana. The Minor Arcana is relatively parallel to the 52 cards in a regular deck of cards with a few exceptions. I will now list the cards of the Major Arcana: I The Magician; II The High Priestess; III The Empress; IV The Emperor; V The Hierophant; VI The Lovers; VII The Chariot; VIII Strength; IX The Hermit; X Wheel of Fortune; XI Justice; XII The hanged Man; XIII Death; XIV Temperance; XV The Devil; XVI The Tower; XVII The Star; XVIII The Moon; XIX The Sun; XX Judgement; XXI The World; 0/XXII The Fool. Sometimes the Fool is the 0 card; however, in this application, it is XXII.

Please do not jump to judgments about the importance of these tarot cards. For example, if numerology determined your card is The Hanged Man, it is not going to be negative. All the cards have positive character traits that make up a personality and a few potential weaknesses, just like real life. Everyone is good and evil, and that is why we need to know what is hidden. Always look for the most useful and never fear the worst in anyone.

Today we only have sufficient space left to describe the personality attributes of 1 card. We will start with the number I, The Magician. The person with this character is extremely progressive. He/she treads her way, thinks outside the box, is very clever in answers, and not afraid to try new ideas. This individual makes a better world for themselves and others.

They are not stuck in a rut. They do not possess supernatural power, but their accomplishments will be so brilliant they look like miracles to some observers. Even among peers, this person will be thought of as unique. Passionately motivated, this person will strive to develop their highest potential and maybe a shining success in many areas of life.

The Magician is vulnerable to loneliness and anger. They repeatedly attempt to have their ideas understood and stand-alone against conventional ideas that do not work as well as what they have envisioned. Oppression of their progressive ideas by a more mundane majority brings frustration to them. Isolation is dangerous for them. The Magician needs a supportive, non-competitive partner.

Let’s see what the cards have in store for you!

Many psychic readers use Tarot cards, which date back to early 15th century Italy. These initial decks were hand-painted playing cards, accessible primarily to the affluent due to their high cost. The invention of the printing press later made Tarot decks available to the general public.

By the mid-18th century, Tarot cards began to be used for divination and fortune-telling. A Tarot deck consists of twenty-two major arcana cards and fifty-six suited cards, which are divided into four suits: Cups, Wands, Pentacles, and Swords. Each suit contains ten numbered cards and four court cards: Kings, Queens, Knights, and Pages.

The twenty-two major arcana cards include: The Fool (0), The Magician (1), The High Priestess (2), The Empress (3), The Emperor (4), The Hierophant (5), The Lovers (6), The Chariot (7), Strength (8), The Hermit (9), The Wheel of Fortune (10), Justice (11), The Hanged Man (12), Death (13), Temperance (14), The Devil (15), The Tower (16), The Star (17), The Moon (18), The Sun (19), Judgment (20), and The World (21). These cards symbolize significant life lessons or stages, suggesting deep, meaningful insights when they appear in a reading.

Each of the four suits in the minor arcana represents different aspects of life:

• Cups: Linked to the water element, they represent love, relationships, and emotions.
• Wands: Connected to the fire element, they symbolize creativity, drive, passion, and motivation.
• Pentacles: Associated with the earth element, they relate to money, success, work, and daily activities.
• Swords: Tied to the air element, they signify the mind, intellect, thoughts, and ideas.

The court cards in each suit are interpreted as follows:

• King of Cups: A male or masculine person who is emotional, artistic, secretive, and in touch with their feelings.

• Queen of Cups: A female or feminine person who is emotional, intuitive, artistic, and deeply feeling.

• Knight of Cups: Represents romance, a drive for romantic relationships, and a love for life, arts, and music.

• Page of Cups: Indicates the beginning of romantic feelings or an open heart.

• King of Wands: A male or masculine person who is passionate, optimistic, loyal, and motivated.

• Queen of Wands: A female or feminine person who is warm, loyal, and enthusiastic.

• Knight of Wands: Represents travel, excitement for creative projects, and progress towards a plan.

• Page of Wands: Denotes the initial concept of a new idea or project.

• King of Pentacles: A male or masculine person who is financially secure, good at business, and family-oriented.

• Queen of Pentacles: A female or feminine person with high self-esteem, nurturing, and creating a comfortable home environment.

• Knight of Pentacles: Represents the energy for daily tasks with joy and value, indicating a strong work ethic.

• Page of Pentacles: Signifies the start of a new work or material world project.

• King of Swords: A male or masculine person driven by intellect, educated, fair-minded, and rational.

• Queen of Swords: A female or feminine person motivated by rational thought, fairness, justice, and implementing ideology.

• Knight of Swords: Represents mental restlessness, a desire to move forward, and frustration from feeling held back.

• Page of Swords: Describes the beginning of new ideas and attitudes.

The numbered cards in each suit correspond to their element and have unique meanings, which will be explored in the next article. This overview is just the beginning of our journey into understanding the Tarot.

Most psychic advisors appreciate Tarot for its rich imagery, which aids in providing insightful readings.
