Jungian Tarot is based on the relationship between archetypes and the Tarot.
Tarot allows you to become consciously aware of the various and powerful archetypal forces, which operate in your unconsious. As long as you remain unaware (unconscious) of these forces, there's very little you can do about them. Once recognised, you can decide whether you want to continue living your life under the influence of a particular archetypal power, or would you rather transform your relationship with this power, and by doing so, transform yourself.
