What Is A Tarot Card?Â
The Tarot is a deck of cards that can be used to give insight into the future or your current situation. People have been using tarot cards for centuries to gain insight into their lives and help guide them through tough times. A Tarot is a form of divination, meaning it’s intended to give you spiritual guidance or information that can’t be perceived through normal means.Â
Each deck contains 22 Major Arcana signs. Each of these cards has been assigned by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn with either an element, planet, or zodiac sign
Aries – The EmperorÂ
The emperor tarot card sits on a large throne made of stone and features four rams heads, representing the symbolic connection between the planet Mars and Aries. The red robe he wears shows his energy and passion for life around him, while the armor below it shows how he is protected from any type of vulnerability or emotional response.Â
In his left hand, you can see an orb, which shows how he rules over the world, and in the right is an ankh which means life in Egyptian symbols. The long beard indicates experience and wisdom, while his crown shows that he demonstrates his authority.Â
Aries are well known as natural leaders, and this emperor is no exception to that rule. He’s strong and passionate but also a nurturer and protector of his people. When he rules with an iron fist, it can feel like the entire world crumbles underneath him because nobody wants to defy such powerful energy!Â
Taurus – The HierophantÂ
The Hierophant tarot card is a religious figure that sits between two sacred temple pillars. He wears three different colored robes, including white, blue, and red. His crown has three tiers representing the three worlds he rules over, including the super-conscious, sub-conscious, and conscious. The Papal Cross represents religious status in his left hand, and his right is raised in spiritual blessings.Â
Taurus are well known for being patient, practical, and reliable, so it makes sense that this card represents this sign. Taurus is ruled by Venus, which is a planet known for its beauty, luxury, and indulgence. Taurus can embrace this energy by going against the natural stubborn energy they may find themselves stuck in and instead search inside themselves to create, work hard, and dedicate themselves to find their true calling in life.Â
Gemini – The LoversÂ
The lover’s card shows both a naked woman and man standing under an angel, representing emotional and physical healing. The angel reminds them of their union with the divine world and blesses both the woman and man. The couple is standing in a gorgeous landscape that resembles the Garden of Eden with an apple tree and a snake climbing up the trunk. This represents the temptations of pleasure that may take away from your divine nature.Â
As a Gemini, you’re likely open-minded and curious about the world around you. However, you may be swayed into the temptation of pleasure, making you inconsistent and indecisive. However, you can harness the energy of this card by finding balance in your everyday life and staying present with your divine nature.Â
Cancer – The ChariotÂ
The chariot card is a combination of the energy and emotion that Cancer is known for. The chariot sits behind two sphinx, one white and one black, representing opposing forces, or positive and negative. However, the charioteer steers forward in his own direction, not being swayed by either sphinx. The warrior features armor with moons, a tunic that represents his strength of will, along with his crown that represents spiritual development, victory, and success.Â
This card is all about pushing forward, even when obstacles or forces are pulling you in either direction. Cancers are highly emotional and empathetic people which can either work for or against you. As a result, you might find yourself lacking patience or unsure how to create the success you want out of life. However, the easiest way to harness the energy of your card is to move forward, make a change, and not be swayed by the obstacles around you. Instead, work to blaze your own path forward!Â
Leo – StrengthÂ
In the strength card, a woman is shown holding a lion with her bare hands, which symbolizes her loving and calming power. The woman in the card has long hair, which showcases her power and feminine energy. While the lion is indicative of desire and passion, the woman transforms this energy into resilience, strength, and courage. The clothing associated with this woman indicates nature and purity of spirit, while infinity symbol represents her infinite wisdom.Â
Leos have natural leadership qualities, so it makes sense that they’re associated with royalty and having total control over their lives. In addition, they have passion, creativity, and strength. However, Leo may struggle when faced with adversity or challenges because they don’t want to seem vulnerable or appear weaker than everyone around them. However, Leos can harness the energy of the strength card by reaching inside during challenging moments to find the courage and mental toughness to push through.Â
Virgo – The HermitÂ
The card of the hermit is all about getting back in touch with your inner self. As the hermit stands at the top of a snow-capped mountain, he symbolizes the accomplishment, growth, and mastery that comes with this position due to self-discovery and hard work.Â
His lantern is symbolic of his wisdom, while the low light of the lamp indicates that the only way to know more about the future is to see where to go next. This can be used for introspection or meditation on one’s purpose and place within this world that they live in.Â
Virgos are naturally very hardworking, analytical, and well-organized. However, being too critical of oneself and putting yourself under pressure to know the right and best move can make it challenging to seek the right way forward. So, if you find yourself in a place where the only way out is through, harness the energy of your hermit card by turning inward and finding solutions from within, knowing that each step will reveal a new part of your journey.Â
Libra – JusticeÂ
The justice card shows a figure that harnesses the qualities of structure, balance, and law. She holds an upward pointing sword, which portrays a final decision that is made with a fair and just mind. However, the double-edged sword indicates the consequences of each action. The scales, located on the other hand, show the balance and intuition needed to be fair and impartial.Â
As a Libra, you tend to be a people person. While you’re always surrounded by people and the first to social outings, you tend to avoid conflicts at all costs. Libras are naturally gentle and fair-minded, which is why the Justice card sits so well with this zodiac sign. You can harness the energy of your card by always stepping back in situations to look with an impartial view and think through the consequences of your actions to find the right path forward.Â
Scorpio – DeathÂ
The death card, which is represented by a black armored skeleton riding a horse, symbolizes invisibility and life after death. The horse represents power and strength as well as purity. The skeleton is carrying a black flag with a rose, which indicates purification, beauty, and immortality. While many only associate the death card with the end of life, it also symbolizes rebirth and birth, new beginnings, and transportation.Â
As a Scorpio, you tend to be very passionate about things that interest you and have an excitement about life. However, you may also be very controlling, jealous, or intense, which can push you to hold onto things and may lead you astray sometimes. Harnessing the death card means allowing yourself to let go of things that don’t serve your best interests anymore and to accept the transition instead of being stuck in the old.Â
Sagittarius – TemperanceÂ
The temperance card represents a figure that is balanced and in control. The angel-like figure is both male and female. She balances one foot in the water, showing the need to go with the flow, while the other foot is on the rocks, representing the need to be grounded. The pouring of water represents the flow of life. This is also expressed through the mountain range in the background, showing the need to stay true to one meaning and purpose in life.Â
As an adventurous Sagittarius who loves experiences more than anything else in life, it’s essential for you not to rush into things before looking ahead — especially when it comes to commitment. You tend to get bored quickly, so being impulsive can be your biggest downfall as one thing leads to another quickly without considering how each decision impacts others around you. Make sure to embrace the energy of this card by finding a way to stay grounded while still pushing forward towards your next adventure.Â
Capricorn – The DevilÂ
The devil card is represented by a goat-like figure which is known to represent materialism, greed, and lust. He holds the banner of earthly pleasures in one hand with chains, representing being tied down by one’s own desires. The two nude figures are chained together but looking at each other lovingly instead of focusing on their pain or discomfort — much like you’d expect from your typical Capricorn who tends to keep their emotions guarded most of the time!Â
As a strong-headed Capricorn who has very set ideas about their responsibilities and discipline in their lives, it’s essential for you not to let your stubbornness get in the way or give in to desires that may not serve you anymore. Instead, set yourself free of the metaphorical chains of the Devil card, and turn inwards to find your true self.Â
Aquarius – The StarÂ
The star card features the eight-pointed star, which symbolizes luck, hope, and faith. The woman in this card is standing on the edge of a pool holding two containers, representing the conscious and unconscious. She has one foot on the ground showing her common sense and practicality, while her other foot shows her ability to try new things or listen to her inner voice.Â
As an intellectual Aquarius who loves pushing for change by making their own boundaries at every step of life’s journey, it’s essential for you to not to get caught up with your ideals but allow yourself moments of weakness where you depend on others just as much as they depend on you. Lean into the star card by letting your inner guidance light the way, knowing that the universe has your back!
Pisces – The MoonÂ
The moon card portrays the full moon in the sky, symbolizing the unconscious and dreams. Its dim light compared to the sun shows the path to higher consciousness. The pool in the front represents the subconscious mind, while the wolf and dog in the grass field represent the wild and tamed parts of our mind.Â
As a Pisces, you tend to live very much in your head — often struggling to find a balance between practicality and imagination/creativity at all times! To harness the energy of this card, allow others to know your true emotions instead of keeping them inside.Â
