![Tarot: The Fool](images/fool.gif)
Tarot consists of two parts - the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Minor Arcana consists of cards that we use nowadays as Poker cards - hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades are really cups, pentacles, wands, and swords. Cups symbolize emotions, pentacles symbolize money issues, wands symbolize work or career, and swords represent troubles or problems. Tarot decks are quite diverse nowadays; previously, there was mainly the Rider-Waite version for use. However, no matter what the deck, the meanings of the cards remain the same - "The Fool" (shown above from the Rider-Waite version) will always represent a choice of two paths. There are many ways to read Tarot, but the most popular spread is called the "Celtic Cross", using 10 cards that create a cross with the final card as the outcome of the question.
