How to Combine Tarot and Astrology

Pretty much everyone knows what their sun sign is and has probably read their horoscope in the news at some point.

You might even know what your moon and rising signs are.

But how do these astrology signs connect with tarot cards?

A Little Background…

Tarot can be linked back to a card game in Europe in the 1500s or so. Astrology can be linked to multiple cultures around the world as far back as we have records. It’s no wonder it continuously shows up.. If you have been following along with theFinding Your Soul series, this is the third installment. If you haven’t checked out the first two, you can do so below:

So let’s get started..

Each zodiac sign can be linked to a few different tarot cards. You can use each of these cards to help you on your path to finding your soul purpose.

To start, find your sun sign on the chart below and have a look at the corresponding tarot card. I have included the dates for each sing as well in case you need them.

You should be familiar with some of the qualities of your zodiac sign, but if you aren’t, have a search around google to gain more insight.

How do the energies of your zodiac sign mix with the energies of the tarot card?

Do you notice that both Aries and the Emperor are fiery, authority figures?

Or that Virgos are very introspective, like the Hermit?

If your wondering where the remaining major arcana are they correspond to the 7 planets.

This gives us 12 zodiac correspondences, 7 planetary correspondences and The Fool is left out of the sequence as it is the card that journeys through all of them.

TheZodiac Decans

Taking it a step further, you can break down each zodiac sign into 3 sections, called decans. Each of the decans are correspond to a minor arcana card which allow you to go more in depth in your birth chart.

The 3 minor arcana cards that are listed in your sign will tell you thelessons and opportunitiesthat you will encounter in this life.

Destiny Card

Once you have found the 3 cards that represent your lessons and opportunities, you can get a little more specific by finding yourDestiny Card.

Your Destiny Card indicates the natural impulses, desires and reactions that you have that come natural to you. You didn’t necessarily learn them from someone.. it’s just how you do.

From the zodiac chart above, find the tarot card that is for your actual birthday. This is your destiny card.

Court Cards- Your Personality

Lastly, we have the personality cards that are based on your sun, moon and rising signs. These cards tell you more about your personality and the persona that you portray to the world.

The court cards represent different personalities, which tell us how we are showing up in the world.

First, you need to know your sun, moon and rising signs. Don’t worry, if you don’t know what they are, you can find them onCafé Astrologyor any other astrology site offering a free birth chart. You will need to know your birth time and location for the greatest accuracy.

Next, you want to link up your 3 signs with the chart below. If you have found different correspondences to the court cards than I have below, then use your own.
