There are 78 cards in a Tarot Deck divinded into the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The word Arcana comes from the Latin word arcanus meaning closed or secret. The Major Arcana in Tarot Deck is made of 22 cards. Each card of the Major Arcana or trump suit has a different picture which illustrates an action, behaviour and/or an event. Each card also has a label which is a name, a title or a description of the picture on the card. The Major Arcana represents states of being - your mental, emotional and/or spiritual condition at the time of the reading or in terms of the situation being described. These qualities are represented by characters such as THE EMPEROR, THE FOOL OR THE HIGH PRIESTESS, by several cosmic forces such as the the SUN and the MOON and by structures such as the TOWER, the WHEEL OF FORTUNE and the CHARIOT. The other cards are the the MAGICIAN, the EMPRESS, the HIEROPHANT, the LOVERS, STRENGTH, the HERMIT, JUSTICE, the HANGED MAN, DEATH, TEMPERANCE, the DEVIL, the STAR, JUDGEMENT and the WORLD.
