The majors allow us to identify our state of mind and the predictable result of the actions we would take in response to our question. The majors are the perfect representation of the Universe. There are 22 of them, they form a symbolic alphabet, the combination of which creates a language in its own right. The vocabulary of the majors simultaneously borrows the visual codes of the original Marseille tarot, Arabic and Latin numerologies, a correspondence with the Hebrew alphabet, the astronomical placements of the solar system and the archetypes of 13-sign astrology. Originally, the major arcana draw their symbolic power from 22 archetypes or universal figures of our unconscious (the Sun, the Moon, the Star, Justice, etc.). This value of universality leads most tarot readers to favor them to identify the strong tendencies of a reading without resorting to minors. The majors are numbered from 1 to 21. The Mast traditionally has the value 0 or 22 and card no. 13 (the unnamed arcana) is not named.
