· The Major Arcana is the first suit in the Tarot. It contains twenty-two (22) cards that test, reward and replenish your strength of character.

· Major Arcana cards grab your attention, like the headlines in a newspaper.

· Major Arcana Cards represent Spiritual karma, which we are forever resolving, creating and/or recreating -- and Karma isn’t always just about doing good deeds for other people. It can be as simple as knowing when to leave well enough alone, or finally stepping up to the plate to confront a matter that we’ve been avoiding. Each good or bad habit that we break ends some cycle of self-induced Karma, while each new goal we undertake sets a different chain of Karmic challenges in motion.

· The more often one Major Arcana Card reappears in your readings the more you may need to call upon or develop the personal Strength it represents.

· The more Major Arcana cards there are in your spread the more emotionally or Spiritually significant your reading will prove to be, signaling a turning point in your perception.

Whatever the situation: Threes of ANY suit stimulate your thinking and networking process.
