A tarot card is one of a set of 78 cards used for divination or playing games. The deck is divided into the 22-card Major Arcana and the 56-card Minor Arcana, which is further split into four suits: Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. Tarot is used as a tool for self-reflection, to gain insight into life's challenges, and to explore past, present, and future possibilities, though its interpretation can be personal and subjective.
