How many Tarot cards are there?

A standard deck of Tarot cards includes 78 cards divided into two sections: Major Arcana and Minor Arcana. Each Tarot card has its own symbol and meaning. The Major Arcana (22 cards) represent life themes. The Minor Arcana (56 cards) represent daily themes. The Minor Arcana Tarot cards are divided into suit, and each one is linked to an element of astrology: Suit of Wands (fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Suit of Cups (water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), Suit of Swords (air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and Suit of Pentacles (earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn).
