is the minor arcana set in stone?(tarot)?

someone told me there were diffrent meanings between tarot cards, that a reading with more major would be less certain or vice versa, i am not quite sure... i had a reading with more minor arcana cards in my reading... is there little or MORE chance that they might change? she said that one of them could change, the other was more certain... which one?

1. I use my intuition and listen to the spirits more then the written down meanings. I still read the meanings but how i inturpret them is totally different. Fallow the spirits and your intuition.
2. the minor arcana is never set in stone. really nothing is ever set in stone, a prediction can be made and if you do something it may be altered, fate exists but it is maleable. and there are many many different meanings to the cards but in my opinion the only 'right' meaning is the one it means to you, if you get a deck and become comfortable with it it will show you things the way you understand the symbols. i once knew a very dark person (very good perosn but very 'dark') who viewed the death card as a card of joy and victory because they believed that death was a release and peace from a hellish world and as logn as she interpreted it this way the cards never failed her.
3. It's open to interpretation but generally... When one of the 22 Major arcana cards comes up it indicates that the meaning of the card is assigned to general society. If it's one of the 56 Minor arcana then the meaning is assigned to the individual. Interpretations differ and depend on the method. I used the Celtic cross method when I used tarot about 25 years ago. EDIT: The Death card always meant change to me..but that's me. Blessed Be!
4. The cards have to be interpreted by the reader. Each reader will probably have varying meanings for each card. Also, combinations of cards in certain patterns may suggest meanings that would not be obvious looking at any one card by itself. If you have a nice deck with lots of illustrations, like the Rider-Waite decks, it may be best just to toss all the conventional meanings for the cards and interpret them according to what the pictures suggest to you. Reading Tarot cards is an art, not a science. Don't get yourself bogged down in trivial details.
