![]() It is a card that validates the seeker’s creative pursuits and encourages them to further harness their ambitions. For example, the Six of Wands in a Tarot reading is likely an indication that the querent has had recent success in their endeavors and achieved some sort of recognition or reward for their efforts. The element of fire is linked to inspiration and generative creativity, primal energy and ambition, passion and sexuality, and, as such, the suite of Wands represents much of the same themes of creative drive in one’s daily life. These signs are associated with the Wands (or Rods) of the Tarot. The fire signs of the zodiac are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. ![]() Of note is the correlation between the Tarots’ suite of Cups and a playing card deck’s suite of Hearts (the symbolism is not lost here)-it is said that playing cards are derived from the Tarot and, as such, can be used, in a pinch, for divination in much the same way.įire Signs, Wands/Rods, the Suite of Clubs It is also often the case that water sign dominants tend to find a lot more Cups in their Tarot reading than the other signs-although this is less of a rule and more of an affirmation-since water signs are often drawn toward emotional labor and psychic development. ![]() On the other hand, the Five of Cups in a reading signifies a person who is full of regret, someone in mourning, someone who can’t perceive the blessings and offering before them because their vision is obscured by the ghost of what feels lost and irretrievable. For example, the Three of Cups in a reading will signify strong friendship, building of community, creative collaboration, and reciprocity from those in your chosen circle. These qualities lend an emotional depth and perception to experiences of grief, friendship, heartache, and erotic connection. The suite of Cups is associated with the qualities most often attributed to water signs, such as emotional receptivity, relational fluidity, intuition, and psychic ability. For instance, it’s not unusual to have the appearance of a Queen of Cups signify a Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio woman who is integral to the reading in some way. And, it is these cards Tarot readers often interpret as a person in the querent’s life. The face cards are traditionally represented as a Page, Knight, Queen, and King (although many contemporary decks will vary their interpretation and naming to include non-binary and non-colonial representations). There are 14 cards in each suite which, in this case, run from the Two of Cups to the Ten of Cups, have four face cards, and one ace. In the Minor Arcana, these signs are represented by the suite of Cups. The water signs of the zodiac are Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio. Our current systems of divination are ancient and inextricably linked and, just like the elements, they wouldn’t exist without one another. Because when we receive Tarot reading, we use all the cards, and because each of us has a natal chart that reflects the whole zodiac, I encourage you to read each section and keep this information in mind next time you do a reading. Just like certain Scorpios will always find the Death card in their Tarot reading and certain Geminis will often find the Lovers showing up, it’s common to experience an abundance of cards from a certain suite in your reading that correspond to your zodiac element. Despite the generality, understanding the corresponding attributes between certain signs and the Minor Arcana can be extremely helpful when receiving a Tarot reading or offering a Tarot reading to others. Rather, the elements of the zodiac are divided amongst the suites of the Tarot. Unlike the Major Arcana, there are no singular cards that are attributed to one sign. For those who have been waiting, this the follow-up guide to the Major Arcana and Zodiac.
