Every card. Every meaning.
All 78 tarot cards explained: what each one means upright and reversed, how it reads as feelings, and what it says about love and an ex.
A tarot deck is 78 cards in two halves. The 22 Major Arcana are the big archetypes — the Lovers, the Tower, Death — and when one turns up it is describing the shape of the whole situation rather than a detail of it. The other 56 are the Minor Arcana, four suits of fourteen, and they cover ordinary life at closer range. Every card below has its own page: what it means in general, what it means in love upright and reversed, how it reads as somebody's feelings, and what it says about an ex.
Which cards mean yes, and which mean no
Forty-three of the seventy-eight cards lean yes upright and thirty-five lean no, and a reversal flips the verdict. Cups and Wands mostly move toward the thing you asked about; Swords mostly cut away from it; Pentacles depend on what is being built.

Major Arcana
The 22 trumps, numbered from the Fool at zero to the World at twenty-one. They mark turning points, forces larger than the moment, and the lessons a situation is built around. A reading heavy with Major Arcana is telling you this is not a small week.
Cups
Water: feeling, intuition, connection and everything that happens below the level of argument. Cups describe what you and other people actually feel, as opposed to what is being said about it. The suit of love, friendship, grief and imagination.
Wands
Fire: drive, creativity, ambition and the impulse that gets something started. Wands describe energy and direction — what you want, how hard you are willing to chase it, and whether the momentum is still there. The suit of enterprise and appetite.
Swords
Air: thought, language, conflict and truth. Swords describe what is being decided, said and believed, including the beliefs that are hurting you. The sharpest suit in the deck, and the most honest — it deals in clarity even when clarity is unwelcome.
Pentacles
Earth: money, work, the body, and anything that has to exist physically to count. Pentacles describe what is being built and whether it will hold — income, health, home, the slow accumulation of something solid. The least dramatic and most durable suit.
