What Do Tarot Cards Mean? A Tarot Meaning List With Pictures For Beginners 3

Hi, we’ve come to the third part of “What Do Tarot Cards Mean?”, in which we’ll continue our discussion of the No.9~11 tarot cards.

The life lessons that are articulated in Major Arcana sometimes take us into secluded places where we need to learn and reflect single-handedly, as depicted in The Hermit card.

But sometimes tarot decides to bless us with good luck and fortune as illustrated in the Wheel of Fortune. This is done in order to create positive reinforcement in our spiritual journey and further test us.

Depending on our interpretation of these divine life lessons, we end up in the hands of The Justice card. It tells us that what we sow comes back to us, therefore, the wisest thing would be to do the right thing even when our effort is left unappreciated.
