Tarot Card Meanings & Psychology

According to Carl Gustav Jung, there are 12 basic archetypes that symbolize the foundations of human motivation.
The basic archetypes are divided into 3 subgroups:
> The archetypes of the ego
> The archetypes of the soul
> The archetypes of the self
The Tarot also proposes several phases:
> The individual as he is born (the ego)
> The path to understanding (the soul)
> The understanding of "what is" (elevation)
