The Minor Arcana and the Major Arcana
In this deck, there are 22 cards in the Major Arcana and 40 in the Minor Arcana.
The Major Arcana are numbered and the Minor Arcana are divided into
four suits: scrolls, roses, forces, and keys. Unlike many
tarot decks, both the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana of
Akashic Tarot has names.
There are many levels of meaning in the Major Arcana, and you will begin to
feel them more deeply as you work with them. In the
descriptions of the Major Arcana, you will see many references to the Spirit, to the
inner soul, the Higher Self, the Divine Source - this is the essence of being. To do
a reading of the Akashic Tarot that only addresses the mundane world would be
similar to reading a piece of clothing with no one in it.
For the most part, the Minor Arcana talks about events, feelings,
activities and relationships in the personal world. They can cover situations
at home, from renovations, moves, buying new furniture, to children
going to college. In relationships, the Minor Arcana can
indicate romance, separation, divorce, and pregnancy. They are also related.
with business issues, such as partnerships, marketing, difficult bosses and
work colleagues.
When doing your readings, remember that the Major Arcana are vital for
to work with the eternal and higher energies of life, but also to
apply to your daily experiences. You can gain insights into
creative situations or business or any type of person or
relationship through the Major Arcana. The reverse is also true.
The Minor Arcana involves personal challenges and opportunities, but
they also seek to embrace the infinite Self and its higher powers. After all, what
Is daily life without a daily knowledge of the Divine? You might consider
meditate on each card, both in the Major Arcana and in the Minor Arcana
Minors. The meditation will lead the Major Arcana to an experience
intellectual to a hug from the Spirit, and elevates the Minor Arcana to a
Divine purpose every day. Therefore, bring together the Lesser and the Greater and know that
there is no separation between the eternal and the now.
The suits of the Minor Arcana
The suit of roses encompasses relationships, emotions, families, children,
homes, personal and internal conflicts and communities in life. Throughout the
Throughout history, the rose has been a frequent icon in heraldry, adorning the
coats of arms of royal and noble families throughout Europe. It represents not only the
family, but also those who have an affinity with that family. The beauty
the petals of the rose and the sharpness of its thorns reflect the range of
personal experiences that may belong to the heart, to the home and to
community.
The suit of scrolls reflects the world of the mind, communication, and study.
The ancient Hebrew and Aramaic words for parchment, seper and sepra,
also meant book and reading and derive from the base word sapra, which
it meant Scribe. It was the Scribe who wrote and had access to all the
records. The pack of parchments contains the arts, written stories,
sciences, philosophies, maps, messages, and all kinds of information and
communication. The Scrolls also represent the manifestation of the idea
in the matter, for all reality is born first in the mind.
The suit of keys represents values, wealth, success, worth,
abundance, career, authority, confidence, achievement and power that you
you can experiment and express in your life. The keys are emblematic
to lock and keep safe what you value. But they also reflect the
opening at all levels - opening for ownership, opportunity, new
directions, greater power and possibilities. The study of the Bible reveals that key
also means true knowledge, reliability, and authority. Isaiah
22:22 tells us: 'And the key of the house of David I will place on his shoulders'
Putting the key on the shoulder instead of in the hand reflects the
responsibility that this person can assume in life. After all, the keys
are given only to those with the authority to use them.
The suit of forces has everything to do with energy, consciousness, and Natural Law.
Natural Law states that consciousness creates reality and energy attracts like.
energy. These vital powers are forces in the physical and etheric worlds, and
also in your life. When you find these letters in your
distribution, they are not only referring to external events
of your life, but also providing guidance about the energy within and around you
around.
The People of the Minors and Majors
All the people shown in the Minor and Major Arcana - including the
queens, kings, Ascended Masters, and Angels - can represent individuals in
your life (or in the life of the person you are reading). Some of them may be
significant participants and others can be more peripheral. They can
to represent romantic interests, friends, colleagues, parents, partners
of business or any other type of relationship. The situation on the card, the
occupation of the individual or the temperament of the person, as well as the position
that the card takes in the spread, they can indicate who this person is, besides the
nature of the relationship.
It is important to observe a person's gender in letters, as it usually
corresponds to the individual in question. However, it can sometimes be
deceptive because the gender shown in a letter can also indicate the
yin nature (yielding, sensitive or receptive) or yang (energetic, directive or
creative) of an individual. For example, the King of Keys may represent
a strong, dominant, and assertive woman in a position of authority in the
work.
The people shown can also represent roles, jobs,
attitudes and personalities for you or for someone else in your life. By
for example, the Queen of Scrolls may indicate a position of teaching,
writing a book, deep thought or a period of high communication
for you or another. The King of Roses can be you or someone else.
assuming the role of husband, father, or lover - or can be someone sensitive,
deeply sentimental or even spiritual by nature. The Master letter
Craftsman can indicate a very creative opportunity for you or for someone else.
you can show a person in your life with whom you share a
highly creative and profitable project. Want the letter to represent the
characteristics of the questioner (you or the person you are addressing)
reading) or the characteristics of someone in the questioner's life, these
characteristics are more about personality than about the body. A
the activity and the emotions displayed on the card are much more important than
the color of the hair or the physical appearance.
It is important to understand that the suits can indicate not only roles,
occupations and temperaments of people, but also phases through which
people are passing by. A man whose career focus is his greatest
concern would appear in your reading through a card of the suit of
keys, such as The Architect, The Rise, The Master Craftsman or the King of
Chaves. Even if your personality traits or other purposes in
life may reflect scrolls or roses, your current priority with the
work would be displayed by keys.
The Archangels and the Ascended Masters are very important participants in
your life. When the cards that portray them appear in your reading, know
that this is a call for you to open yourself to their presence, to build
a relationship with them and act according to their purposes
shared with them. The emergence of these letters may also reflect
individuals in your life - individuals sent by these Masters and Angels
to support you in your spiritual growth, in your karmic guidelines and in
activity of the higher work that you bring to the world. Therefore, keep
your mind and heart open to recognize these helpers or
teachers when they are sent on their way, no matter how
they may appear for the first time. As a commitment to their
own inner discovery and awakening of powers, dedicate some time to
to contemplate the symbolism contained in the cards. The Akashic Tarot has a
deep mythological history that, with study, can bring an understanding
deeper insights of life and spirituality. Therefore, allow your work
with the Tarot help you in more than just personal events. Let it help you
I am going to find the deepest powers and the spiritual meaning of life.
How to read the cards
We have already discussed how to open the Akashic Records using this deck of
Tarot. Learning the meaning of the cards, bringing the scene to life through
imagination and opening oneself to all psychic perceptions are the three keys.
When you use the Akashic Tarot, your intentions send a call to the
Akashic Forces and the spiritual world to open the records room for
you. You gain access to unlimited information and psychic powers to
perceive them. But you must step out of your own way when you start to
doubt or hold back. Give yourself total freedom to trust in all
ideas, meanings and subtle images. This will strengthen your intention and increase
your psychic call to the Universe.
There is another call that your energy makes when you start to work with
the Akashic Tarot - for other people whom you can help with these
don. Even if you intend to read just for yourself, don't be surprised
quando for chamado a compartilhar seus dons com outras pessoas. E quando
When doing it, it is important to know the responsibility you hold. Standards for
good information in a reading
There are three patterns for giving and receiving a responsible reading,
regardless of whether this reading is done through the Akashic Tarot,
astrology, intuition, mediumship or another discipline.
Is the information verifiable? (Many times, things are unknown and
have not yet occurred at the time of reading, therefore, the verifiability
It may take some time.)
Does it offer hopeful and helpful alternatives and choices?
Does this help someone to experience and express love in their life?
All things that fall outside these patterns - such as fear, anger,
vulnerability, greed, jealousy or any other inferior emotion -
belong to the ego (the personal self), not to the Spirit. The proper guidance
will always reflect the highest experience of the Divine Spirit that illuminates the
world. Therefore, keep these standards in mind and always leave the
Spirit guide him.
Using the Tarot responsibly as a tool
In addition to your vision for the future, the Akashic Tarot allows you to discover
a huge potential and work with karmic lessons. There may be implications
psychological in any
Tarot reading. But, whether you want your reading to be for yourself or for someone else, if
if you feel that counseling is appropriate, find or recommend one
good therapist who can help.
Those who come to you for readings - even if they are just yours
friends - will give extreme gravity and importance to your words. Do not say to

Formulating your questions
Readings can be used to obtain general information or to
answer a specific question. Never ask a question and/or, like

Here are some good ways to formulate your questions:
If I follow my current plan, what is the likely outcome of this situation?
What should I know about my career/my health/my relationship?
What measures can I take to change or improve this situation?
Tell me something about his (or her) feelings for me and where this is headed.

Preparing for a reading
Calm your mind and relax. Take a deep breath a few times and affirm that you

Harnessing the Akashic Forces with Mini Processes
Each card description in this guide includes what we call a 'mini process'
of the Akashic Force. It is a very brief visualization that only takes a few
moments to capture the etheric energy linked to the card.

Card placement and indication time
For most of us who live in Western civilization, we read from left
to the right. The left side of an open book is the part of the story that
it is over, and the right contains what is to come: the unknown future. Thus it is
with most tarot spreads. What is to the left of the center shows the
past, what is in the center is the present and what is to the right is still
to come.
Of course, there are no rules or absolutes in any intuitive process, so let it be.
things happen to you exactly as you understand them. If you
experience time in a different way, let it happen. You cannot
build absolute trust in your psychic flow if you do not trust in each
part of your experience.
Frequently, a line of letters from left to right can show
the sequence of events, as well as the time involved with these events.
As we mentioned, you can get more information by placing letters.
extras followed in any letter of a distribution. Just place
from three to five cards from left to right on any card about the
whatever you are curious about. Although each card provides new insights, in
the set, the line of cards will tell a story with the sequence of events
that unfold from left to right. Sometimes the cards will express
a causal quality, where the action of a letter can trigger the event
shown in the next letter or in the next letters, but that is not always the case.
The number of months until an event happens can also be seen
in these lines of additional cards. For example, there may be a question
about the timing of a next move. If there are no cards that
indicate a move on the table, you can simply place extra cards
until obtaining one that shows movement. Then, simply count the
number of cards needed to achieve this result. This usually
indicate the number of months until this result occurs.
Be aware, however, that this method of telling time is not absolute.
just a rough indication. Time is very elastic and any
the timeline towards a desired outcome can be truncated or
elongated. Everything depends on free will and the energy of the person or people
involved and also their efforts to make the results real
desired. Hesitation and lack of action can sabotage the dreams of a
person, but the action creates them. Everything depends on the individual.
There is also directional information contained in the card images.
individuals (like people pointing in a certain direction,
paths going in a certain direction, people facing each other or
caminhando uma na direção da outra ou afastando-se umas das outras, etc.)
The things that point to the left indicate the past, and those who
pointing to the right point to the future. Of course, people looking at each other
for the others in layout (especially Kings and Queens of the same suit)
show a connection between the two - even if they seem to be looking at one
for the other on the other side of the table. On the other hand, people who confront each other.
(or move away) from each other indicate those people distanced from each other
the others by choice or circumstance.
The positioning also depends on the reading of a letter when the scene
points to a neighboring card (either to the left, to the right, above, or below).
When an image points (whether through a raised arm, the direction of
a boat, etc.) to a nearby letter, it indicates other people, events or
conditions that influence the situation in the original letter. For example, if the King

Records.

You are investigating or focusing on your day.
This is an easy way to look at past influences, circumstances
presents and potential future. After shuffling and cutting the deck, place
three cards from left to right. The one on the left indicates the influence of
past that is bringing energy to the current situation. The central card
describes things as they are currently, both energetically and
logistically. The card on the right reveals the potential outcome in the future.
The letter from the past on the left can be as recent as yesterday or as
as ancient as childhood. And the future card to the right could be tomorrow or in
next year. Therefore, in this one - as in all readings - bring your intuition
for interpretation and for time. If you want more information about
any of the cards in this (or any) spread, add a few more
cards (three or five is recommended) on the card in question to obtain more
information and clarity about time.
The Expansion of the Pyramid
The Great Pyramid was one of the largest structural undertakings of
history. And it may be why this spread can be so useful when you have
questions about specific jobs and creative projects. Relationships and
family is also very creative projects, so you can also

and place them on the table as shown in the diagram.
The cards from 1 to 4 indicate the foundation of the subject that you have already built and the
situations on which the task is based. It's clear that just because it is the line of
foundation does not mean that all your efforts with people and situations
shown in this line are complete. On the contrary, as they sustain everything,
they must continue to have your attention.

the second line shows what is in the present. There is also a meaning
especially given the central card. Card 6 represents the King's Chamber, centered
at the Great Pyramid. It symbolizes the situation or person central to the matter.
If the King's Chamber letter is situational, it highlights the issue more
importance of the subject. If a person is portrayed in this position, they show the
a person with authority or more influence, whether it is you or someone else. If
a person in the King's Chamber is inverted, this represents a person in the
power that is not exerting its influence or possibly losing it
complete position. The cards on each side of the King's Chamber may indicate
the actions to be taken when dealing with the central letter.
Letter 8 indicates the peak or result of the matter. It shows its potential and, to the
sometimes, what you need to overcome to achieve it. If you do not obtain a
definitive scorecard here, it may take longer in the future until it is
achieved. (Remember, if you want more information about this or
any other letter, you can always add more letters as
we discuss.)
Remember that an overview of the cards in your spread can bring you
more information. Be aware of reversed people, of the Major Arcana and
the general cores that you see.
