Tarot Cards vs. Playing Cards
The Difference Between Tarot Cards and Regular Playing Cards
If you aren't familiar with the Tarot, you may be surprised to find that a standard Tarot deck is so similar to a deck of regular playing cards that you could simply remove 25 of the Tarot cards and you will essentially have a deck of playing cards, including the Joker. Let me explain:
A standard deck of Tarot cards consists of 78 unique cards. These are divided up into 22 Major Arcana cards, sometimes referred to as "Trumps" and 56 Minor Arcana cards, which bear the closest resemblance to a standard deck of playing cards. The Minor Arcana is, in turn, divided up into the Number cards or "Pips" and the Court Cards.
Tarot Card with Equivalent Playing Card
Major Arcana
The Fool = Joker
The other 21 Major Arcana cards don't have any Playing card counterparts.
Minor Arcana
Suits:
Pentacles/Coins/Disks = Diamonds
Swords = Spades
Cups = Hearts
Wands = Clubs
Ace to 10 are the same in Tarot and Playing cards, just translate the suit as shown above.
In Tarot the Court cards are usually:
King, Queen, Knight, Page
In Playing cards we have:
King, Queen, Jack
There is some debate over whether the Jack in Playing cards corresponds more closely to the Knight or Page in Tarot.
To change a Tarot deck into a deck of Playing cards, you would remove all Major Arcana cards, keeping only The Fool if you require a Joker. You would also remove all four Knights or all four Pages (depending on whether you feel Jacks are better represented by Knights or Pages.)

Thanks. It is a little discouraging to know that I'm earning a fraction of what an equal value voting system would have earned me, but somehow seeing this on almost every post I make is showing me that my posts are valuable to people. I will continue to use Steemit.
Keep up the good work this was an awesome story! So I think I need the opposite video of this ,is there a way to tarot reading using just a regular deck of playing cards.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, absolutely you can use regular playing cards to read someone's fortune. Use the search term "cartomancy" for more information about it. If you already know how to read Tarot, you could also just wing it and do your reading as if you were only using the Minor Arcana of the Tarot. I've done this more than a few times and it works just fine.
thanks again for the amazing info. did not know it was called cartomancy, is that the term for using a standard deck of cards, or is that a blanket term for all card like readings
It's technically the blanket term, but generally if you're talking about Tarot or Oracle cards you will say Tarot reading or Oracle reading. When I hear "cartomancy" I automatically think of regular playing cards. So glad you enjoyed the post!
Nice comparison of how the decks are similar. Some people I know only use standard playing cards when reading. I always thought that using normal playing cards was a great alternative, when you don't want the crowd around you to really now what you are doing.. lol
Yes! Exactly! It's a great way to give a reading in public without being to conspicuous. Glad you enjoyed the information. :)
