The second half of the major arcana are the second eleven cards from 11 to 20. The kabbalistic tree of life is a direct allegorical and symbolic corollary for the chakras of the body.
The connections between the Kabbalah and tarot and the four worlds of Kabbalah as they relate to the four sub-decks of the minor arcana of the tarot.

That is also broken down according to the power inherent in these suits or subjects. The Material world is the least powerful world, these are the material substance or the resources we must work with. We often attribute that to the most important, but these are the lowest in power. Our intellect would be the next most powerful thing as we go up this ladder, then the emotions that guide the intellect and the actions we take. What we do with our emotions ultimately governs the ways that we think and the ways that we use resources. Fire's alchemical element represents the most important of these four principles. It is actions or wands in the minor arcana.
The macrocosmic tree deals with the forces of nature, natural law, and the external domain or the seemingly external universe.
