About Elena Vásquez

Born in Medellín, Colombia, a trained psychologist and dedicated tarot student for over 15 years. My grandmother Consuelo placed the first cards in my hands when I barely understood what they meant. Today, from Barcelona, I write about tarot as what it truly is: a tool for self-knowledge, not a crystal ball.

Every article you find here combines Jungian psychology, Latin American folk tradition, and years of real readings with clients. No empty mysticism, no impossible promises.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tarot

What is tarot and what is it used for?

Tarot is a symbolic system of 78 cards (22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana) used as a tool for self-knowledge, reflection, and personal guidance. It doesn't literally predict the future — instead, it helps explore patterns, emotions, and possibilities from a symbolic perspective.

Can I learn tarot on my own?

Yes, absolutely. Tarot can be learned independently with dedication and good resources. We recommend starting with our beginner's guide and getting familiar with the 22 Major Arcana before moving on to the Minor Arcana.

How many cards are in a tarot deck?

A classic tarot deck has 78 cards: 22 Major Arcana (from The Fool to The World) and 56 Minor Arcana divided into four suits: Cups, Swords, Wands, and Pentacles. Each suit has 14 cards (Ace through 10, plus Page, Knight, Queen, and King).

What's the difference between Major and Minor Arcana?

The Major Arcana represent major life themes and lessons — deep transformations, universal archetypes. The Minor Arcana reflect everyday situations, daily emotions, and practical matters. Both are important in a complete reading.

Do you need a special gift to read tarot?

No. Tarot is a skill developed through study and practice, not an innate gift. Anyone can learn to interpret the cards by combining symbolic knowledge, trained intuition, and empathy. What makes the difference is dedication, not genetics.

Does tarot predict the future?

Tarot doesn't predict the future deterministically. It shows trends, energies, and possibilities based on the current situation. It's a compass, not a GPS: it points you in directions, but the decisions are always yours.
