Minor Arcana
Also Lesser Arcana
The Minor Arcana are the fifty-six tarot cards divided into four suits (Coins, Cups, Swords and Wands), each with ten pip cards from Ace to Ten and four court cards: Page, Knight, Queen and King. They mirror the structure of ordinary playing cards, with one extra court card. In a reading, they specify the concrete circumstances, daily life and nuances of a situation, while the Major Arcana set its overall tone.
