Are the people limited? I'm sure I haven't asked this properly but I don't understand how you would be able to tell who's who in these 22 cards. Are Majors for more of a serious or right down to the lesson now that is happening in your life kind of reading?

I've never used just majors but If i would, I would use it for self exploration as it unlocks a bunch of different sections of my soul.

Hi Ros! I'm not very sure if I’ve understood what you are asking... Do you mean limited in terms of the real persons the cards can represent? So you are missing the courts? Or do you mean limited because of having a reduced spectrum of cards/meanings to read? I’ve read only with majors getting accurate readings. Probably the answers are more clear, simple and direct. I don’t think reading this way is necessarily reduced to specific subjects or occasions. But I’ve to admit I use major Arcana only readings for special purposes, when I want to liberate blocked energy. As for telling who is who, the Major Arcana are archetypes and you can identify persons based on this, the symbols, expressions or the astrological correspondences.

I was thinking that reading with the Majors was more complicated than it really is. I understand differently now. Thanks!
