Honestly, tarot is so subjective.
I’ve always found myself drawn more to the minor arcana. But let’s address the elephant in the room-why does everyone lose it when they see the Death card? It’s a card about change, but people seem to think it’s the end of everything.
In readings, when Death pops up, people freak out. It’s more about moving on from things, like maybe letting go of a bad habit. The real chaos is in The Tower, but nobody mentions that. If you’re working on a project, I’d choose 10 cards that are iconic and can create a straightforward narrative of the major arcana.
