The Major Arcana is named because these 22 cards do not fall under any category of the 4 suites that follow in the rest of the deck. It begins with the Fool, and his journey throughout life, Death, Judgement and end at the World. The World symbolizes the sum of all lessons. All 22 represent the Universe, God, Planetary movements, and Nature's Laws. These natural stages are what we all will go through in common. They are the unchangeable structures of what holds life together. Major Arcana is the Chapter we go through in our lives, rising levels of awareness, and lessons we are suppose to learn.
The Minor Arcana are the 56 day-to-day small pieces to a bigger picture. These are the situations we will face on our way through life. They stay in each chapter, such as life events, failures, and achievements. Their symbols are key to the direction and our decisions; the cause and effects can be felt on this mundane, or earthy level. This will be considered the story within the chapters. These 56 intricate details are the manifestation of how the lesson will be learned
