Looking at this deck I love the colours and the imagery overall, it looks like a great deck ..
There are some differences in the way it has been created. There are some name changes but also some of the  cards have been changed in the way they are numbered...
Benebell Wen  goes through the images and the way the Majors has been renumbered,  titled and the extra cards have been added .. To see more about Benebell's thoughts

Here you will find Card interpretations from the creator....  and other related info ...
Found the meanings to be very brief and not about the imagery itself but general meanings.
Overall the meanings are fairly traditionally with the added extra cards if you look the titles not the numbers of the cards .... You  will use this deck with ease ...
Look at the image and describe the character and look at the colours and anything else that seems to stand out in the image ...

| The Fool Here we see a young person  look as though they are ready to step off a cliff
 not really looking where they are going, a white dog appears to be jumping up,
 trying to warn the person about what may happen if they
 do not start watching where they are going.
 here we see a dark starry night , they have very little with them, carrying a
 stick with a handkerchief attached to the end, carrying the bare essentials.
 We see mountains in the background...
 The Handkerchief is red, he wear red, green, blue and what appears as brown .. he looks up instead
 of looking straight ahead...
 
 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?
 | 
|  The Magician

| We see a young Man in what appears to be ceremonial attire. A red cloak, white top, purple stripe and green belt.  arms outstretched
 As Above so below ...
 Infinite  symbol appears above his head ..
 Tools on his table represent the elements, aspects of the journey.
 (this is different- as he appears inside instead of outside)
 How does that make you feel?
 What does this card mean to you  when you see
 the keywords- beyond the Illusion?
 What does the Title Magician mean to you?

 who appears to be in control of their

 Remembering when someone

 being at the top..
 what do you see in the card?
 | 
|  |

 a need for healing within self.

| The Hierophant Here is a card of Tradition
 Beliefs, actions coming
 from  a Traditional sense.
 Spirituality, faith,
 learning, mentoring, Study
 This card can denote an educational
 institute.
 This card seems to interchange with
 the card (The Teacher )
 Maybe this is to denote a more
 Religious or Spiritual education.
 | 
|  | 
| Joker's Humor This is an extra card
 but for me it reminds us
 to have some fun,
 Not take life so seriously ...
 This card could talk
 about someone being a prankster,
 someone who is always joking around,
 never taking life seriously when they should.
 it may speak about someone needing to mature, grow up
 on some level.
 | 
|  | 
| Love Traditionally this card can speak
 of choices needed to be made within
 a relationship, maybe between two people,
 which path would you take with a relationship?
 This card can speak of an intense relationship, 'one of
 passion, romance, balance...  revealing self to another..

 a situation in your life?
 Think about different areas of your journey?
 
 
 | 
|  | 
| Justice Traditional this card
 is seen as Equilibrium
 Finding balance through 'the truth
 It can be seen as Justice, Legalities
 legal issues, lawyers, judges etc ...
 I also find this card comes up when
 we must acknowledge our actions
 have consequences.
 There are times in life when we
 must look at the truth, the facts of the situation
 not what we perceive to be the truth 'but to dive deep
 within.
 How does this card make you feel?
 | 
|  | 
| Wheel of Time Normally known as Wheel of Fortune
 But it is more than just luck, fortune is not just positive but also  about what we create in our own lives either way...
 Time I love as a Title of this card .,.. because in life
 Time does seem to rule our journey.
 In what we do it seems the time is always present in some way or another.
 This card speaks of Destiny or Fate...
 Do we allow things to come to us or are there times we take action to manifest where we want to travel to?  This card can remind us to get off the round about, time to make a decision about the path we wish to travel...
 This card can also speak of accepting life's ups and down and in how we choose to react will truly make a difference... Totally up to us as individuals ....
 | 
|  | 
| 15 Temperance This card for me speaks of moderation,
 Transformation comes from Not being in excess,
 from being in moderation in all you do..
 Connecting to both the water (emotions )
 and earth (Physicality)
 She appears to be from the Air  (Wings - Intellectual)
 She pours Water onto the Lion (calming the fire from within)
 and adds Fire to the Bird  - (Adding action to the thought..)
 Green dress - healing is created through the formation of finding
 yourself stepping through the realms of life.
 What else can this card speak of to you?
 
 
 | 
|  | 
| Hanged Man Traditional this card can speak of Sacrifice... Being aware of what you are sacrificing of self
 for Self and others on different levels ...
 This card can also ask us to look at things from a Different Perspective, from a new angle, look at your options, from someone else's viewpoints.. What do you see when you turn upside down?
 Foe me in cards this can also speak of hanging around.....reaching enlightenment, understanding from a new view.
 Look at the colours and the things in the card, What story does the card speak of?
 | 
|  | 
| Death This card is Traditionally Card
 #13 .... Transformations,
 Changes.. The Ending arrives
 When things finish it allows, gives
 room to bringing a sense of renewal,
 transformations, transmutations..
 It can bring a sense of freedom to
 surrender to what must change in order
 to walk ahead with strength and
 a sense of inner power.  Cutting away
 what no longer serves us. Removing the
 Traditions of what was and creating New
 Traditions into our journey.
 It may speak of a vulnerability as your past
 is sat with in silence, in darkness , allowing
 the sense of What was to be forefront in your
 moment- working through this deeply 'through
 Shadowwork....
 | 
|  | 
| Soul Essence This card is not Traditionally in A Tarot Deck, As an Extra card
 This information comes from my own thoughts...
 I look at this card and see a rainbow which gives a sense of hope, a connection to the Spirit Realm from within (Angelic connection)
 The Light that radiates - Divine Awareness from a Higher Vibration
 The light held in the palms of the two hands for me speaks of the essence of who we are as individuals is really held within us , in how we connect to our true selves, our Higher Self comes from within.
 How do you feel when looking at this card
 | 
|  | 
| Dark Angel Traditionally The Devil
 Keywords- Addictions, Bad Habits,
 Repeated Patterns,  Extreme Parties,
 Extreme behavior...
 I see this card on many levels,
 it can speak about breaking away from addictions etc
 Addictions can be anything that is done
 in extreme that does not serve you well.
 Breaking the chains from the past
 This card can arrive in reading when
 someone has been abused (but do take note
 of the other cards in the spread before
 speaking of this)
 How does this card make you feel?
 Sometimes this card can speak of
 Sexual energy, a passion, so intense
 one can loose themselves from who
 they truly are...

| The Moon Traditionally Card #18
 This card can speak of Dreams,
 Moon energy, facing your enemies,
 What are you afraid of?
 This card can ask us to acknowledge the
 phase of the cycle you find yourself
 in at this time.
 Moods- tides ebbs and flows ...
 Lunar energy - the Full Moon can speak
 of a crazy time, lunatic ...
 taming the wild energy from within ..
 Paths that are lit ..
 The pillars speak of balance, a gateway into
 new journeys.
 Moon Energy connects to The High Priestess ..
 Psychic Energy, Clairvoyance etc..

|  | 
| Star, For me it begins with a sense of  Openness,
 Vulnerability, looking at the Bare essentials,
 Letting the true self shine through the darkness.
 A pouring out of the emotional issues being held onto.
 Standing between two Worlds.
 Could relate to the movement between the worlds
 by working with your psychic abilities.
 The Star can speak of hope in this time.
 A moment of reality comes to the forefront ..
 | 
|  | 
| The Tower Knowing your world can be turned upside down..
 Things can seem shaky and very wobbly
 This card can be the card of doom and gloom as seen in the movies but for me this card can remind us to reach enlightenment we must first take a leap of faith.. In knowing the walls around you may be crumbling, things may be destroyed at this time,  it is possible to rebuild to your own design you desire.
 | 
|  | 
| Paradox ... Looking at this card I see a fight between
 Your heart and your creativity .. a sense of needing
 to heal and the wanting to move ahead with passion.
 Trying to find balance as you embrace the light within the dark..
 And the dark within the light...
 I am yet to see the meaning from the Author's website ...
 | 
|  | 
| The Sun This card speaks of Happiness..  Things
 being exposed. a sense of vulnerability..
 The Sun shining on the situation
 The Bare essentials are revealed at this time.
 IS there a block, a barrier to desires of happiness?
