But was it always like that – an astrological tool? As everything in the world, there is a deeper history behind Tarot Cards. It’s especially true when you consider how these cards came to use back in the 15th Century.
And everything that is antique has a touch of mystery and allure attached to it. Here are some of the strange facts about Tarot Cards which you may not be completely aware of:
1. Tarot cards were not considered as some kind of fortune-telling equipment a long time back. Rather it was used as a unique card game which was known as Tarocchi. Tarocchi has been estimated to exist in the 15th Century. But it was in the 18th Century that Tarot cards were first used for specific divination or astrological purposes.
2. In the Major Arcana, there are four Archangels which appear: Devil or Uriel, Temperance or Michael, Lovers or Raphael, and Judgment or Gabriel.
3. Tarot designs are slowly making their way into the world of fashion too. From Dolce & Gabbana to Versace, fashion giants are including Tarot designs in their special collections.

5. Every person has a Tarot Card which is related to the Major Arcana. And it’s easy to find out more about that too. Now add up the entire birthdate and then connect it with the card. For example, if your birthday is: 1/5/2004 (mm/dd/yyyy), then, 1+5+2+0+0+4=12. Now add the digits of 12, 1+2=3 and you have The World and The Empress. It suggests a person with a traveler’s energy in them.
