The minor arcana consists of 56 cards that represent everyday trials and tribulations. The 16 cards of the Minor Arcana represent different personality traits. The 40 cards of the Minor Arcana are divided into four kinds of ten. They symbolize everyday life situations. The drawing styles of Egypt, Marseille, Sforza, T. Rider-Waite, A. Crowley are mostly used. When playing with these cards, various geometric shapes are laid out. Divination is influenced not only by the cards themselves, but also by their position. It depends on whether the card is face down, what the adjacent cards mean.
