How the deck is built
The 78 are not random: two layers, four suits, a clear order.
A tarot deck is 78 cards in two parts. Twenty-two Major Arcana — the big themes. Fifty-six Minor Arcana — daily life, split into four suits.
How the minors are built
The minors work like a deck of playing cards: four suits, ace through ten, plus four court cards. A structure you already know.
Figure
This diagram is drawn live in the app, on your own chart.
What you memorise is not 78 meanings: it is 4 suits + 10 numbers + 4 courts + 22 majors. A card's meaning usually falls out of where its suit and number cross.
How many cards are in the Minor Arcana?
Four suits × fourteen cards = 56. The majors add 22, making 78.
