There are many ways to interpret the tarot, and no single method is definitively right or wrong. These card meanings are rooted in the traditions established by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn over a century ago. Even among its respected members, there was no complete consensus on the interpretations. The cards represent traits and energies that balance each other as opposing but interconnected forces. Some cards may be gendered or depict different stages of life, but this symbolism is not meant to indicate actual biological gender or chronological age. Masculine and feminine qualities, as well as varying levels of maturity, exist within all of us.
