I\u2019m not sure about you, but I was first drawn to\ntarot. My mother had cards and would\ngive readings. I received a deck when I\nwas young and started to learn more about my deck and the meanings of each card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As my learning deepened, I realized that many of\nthe tarot cards were connected to different signs of the zodiac. Both Tarot and\nAstrology have long histories, and both have been used to provide people with\nguidance and understanding of who they are and where they want to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The question remains, are tarot and astrology\nlinked and how is astrology and tarot related?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tarot and Astrology are linked and related through the 4 elements: fire, air, water and earth.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also draw on energy of seven solar objects: the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus<\/a>, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. While astrology can be more calculated and empirical, the energy of the elements and planetary objects imbue both disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before I dive deep into this topic, I wanted to point out the Related Articles<\/strong> section at the bottom of this page. I’ve collected a number of articles that I thought you would find interesting and relevant. Please check them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s dive into how tarot and astrology complement each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are four different astrological elements are\nfire, air, water, and earth; These four elements are associated with the four\nsuits of the tarot deck: Cups, Pentacles,\nSwords, and Wands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve written an article about the Minor Arcana, that goes into detail about each of these suits, read that article here: How to read the Minor Arcana Tarot Cards<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The tarot deck can be divided into two sections, The Major and Minor Arcana. (read this article for more details about the Major Arcana, How to use the Major Arcana tarot cards<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n These two Arcana\u2019s are linked as equals during\ntheir association with each sign, each has two proper main cards. Both are\nrepresented and possibly repeated because of their possible association with\nother signs as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a list of each zodiac sign with\ncorresponding Major Arcana & Minor Arcana card: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are a couple of articles about the zodiac signs that complement our discussion here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n During private readings, I have been able to pinpoint exact people by knowing their zodiac signs and any answers my client was searching for within their journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, I pull cards for someone who deals\nwith severe jealousy and withdrawal in their relationships. This situation has a lot of sword\u2019s energy here, mostly associated with the element air, and all the\nAquarius, Gemini, and Libra vibes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When I ask this querent who her and her husband\u2019s\nsign are\u2026 Sure enough she\u2019s a Libra, and her husband is a Gemini.\nGo figure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The cards I pull are relatable and all elements\npointing to air signs. Practicing with the cards and practicing your perception\nmakes this journey of learning the relationship between the tarot cards and the\nzodiac easier to comprehend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarot Reading, 5-Minutes Free!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve recently started working with an online psychic reading company and I’ve received some great feedback.

When you are shown a card, its divinatory meaning could be\nmeaningful during that time, or just the sign it\u2019s representing\nitself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Reading too much into Tarot cards is possible,\njust like the over-analysis of astrology could drive some woke person insane. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The two philosophies, Astrology and Tarot, are\nintertwined with a connection of general knowledge of the signs. When you are presented with the cards, you\ncan understand your message especially if you are seeking answers from spirit\nabout a particular person (an ex, or crush). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Remembering your ex\u2019s zodiac or crush\u2019s would come in handy here. The relation of tarot and astrology are\nthe strongest here, because of personal experiences you\u2019re able to connect\nthe cards with astrological facts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Where Astrology focuses on planetary movements\nfor predictions, tarot cards focus on the internal powers of the divine\nuniverse. These two come from very similar backgrounds, dating back to the\nfirst century with the Egyptians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It was not until later that tarot followed, around\nthe fourteenth century with divinatory meanings. Many cultures used tarot cards differently for\nthousands of years before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Tarot cards had been used in cultures to connect with higher powers, but the tarot cards are associated with a higher self. An infinite, equally positive source that focuses on bettering your emotional journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarot cards initially were a playing card game back in the fourteenth century. The individual card paintings are represented by a French carnival costume parade held in the streets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These cards are a mystical link to Egyptian folklore with numerology and associated with many other religions like Hinduism and Judaism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are already a spiritual human, you are understanding how many of these cultures and beliefs are all very similar and stem from the same God, or higher power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another article that talks about the history of tarot cards is this, “Are tarot cards religious?<\/a>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not all the zodiac signs have an equal number of\ncards associated with them. That\u2019s\nbecause the tarot cards read many energies and are associated with different\nflows of the pathway of your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When certain cards make themselves present to\nyou take into consideration what is being present and your overall feelings. We\nare all capable of loving and connecting to our higher selves, people who read\ntarot for you are doing your shadow work for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Presenting yourself with these internal and\nexternal random arrays of decisions, the exact one you need to hear always\nseems to make itself seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Astrology is broken down into so many parts of\nour lives, more than we realize. When we delve deeply into our birth chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can see and learn about the planet that landed\non a specific astrological sign that was aligned at the second we are born. We can learn how much this will affects us in\nour life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are 7 solar bodies (planets) that are also\nrepresented by cards from the Major Arcana:<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the planets represent different portions of our lives. When determining how tarot and astrology are linked, it\u2019s obvious they flow in a divinely natural way. Three planets affect us more than the others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These first three planets transit the most out\nof any other planet in our charts. They affect us more directly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The larger planets in our charts that go into transit for years are long-termed expanding obstacles we face in our lifetime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, in our charts, we have the plant, Pluto, <\/p>\n\n\n\n These plants farther away from us still affect\nus, their symbolism is unique to our journeys are we can connect with them\nusing divinatory tools. Each astrological sign has the qualities that link them\nto tarot when we make the connection is when we understand the relation between\nthe two the most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, Mercury rules our communication,\nthinking and processing information, and someone with their Mercury in Taurus\nprobably does not speak much, but when they do its logical and comes from a\nsteady, practical place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is associated with the sign Taurus, and it\nis stable, patient speed. While someone with their Mercury in Pisces can come\nacross as too emotionally invested or too dreamy about what they\u2019re talking about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n See how the signs have an effect on the planets and us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n All these factors just come into play when you\nare practicing tarot, whether on yourself on another person. Repetition and\nstudying the astrological charts will only make you advance and connect higher\nwith your best self and doing this can also create a very comfortable space for\ngrowth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Understanding what each planet represents in\nastrology is important and vital to fully comprehend your birth chart, but most\nimportantly when working with tarot. To best understand your birth chart, get a\nnotebook, pen, and sit down on your technology one day to write it all out in\nfront of you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Using phone apps is convenient but studying and understanding how different you are can take a lot more time and patience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are interested in getting a tarot reading, then as a VekkeSind reader, you can get 5 minutes free<\/a>.
