The Cards and Their Meanings

I have provided the following index of tarot cards as a reference for your readings. The descriptions are based on traditional meanings of the cards as I learned them and personal discoveries I made about how they relate to the gypsy tarot spread and the synergy reading technique.

THE MINOR ARCANA

The way I have organized the presentation of the Minor Arcana cards is a departure from the traditional approach, which typically presents these cards in order of suit. I have chosen, instead, to organize this index of interpretations according to number because interpreting number patterns is a specific technique of the Synergy Tarot method. Since numbers are a prime distinguishing feature of the cards, it is worthwhile to consider meaning on this basis in conjunction with the suit values.

THE MAJOR ARCANA

I have based the following interpretative notes on the significance of the Major Arcana cards largely on my own observations through personal experience. For easy reference and recognition, I have identified the twenty-two cards by Roman numeral and name, as they appear in the Rider-Smith sequence.
