This is the Major Arcana and Zodiac follow-up book for those who have been waiting. There are no single cards that are assigned to a single sign, unlike the Major Arcana. Instead, the Tarot’s suites are separated into the twelve zodiacal components. Despite the generality, knowing the traits associated with particular signs and the Minor Arcana can be quite beneficial when getting a Tarot reading or giving one to others. It’s typical to see a lot of cards from a particular suite in your reading that match to your zodiac aspect, just like certain Scorpios will always discover the Death card in their Tarot reading and certain Geminis will frequently find the Lovers turning up. I urge you to read each section and keep this knowledge in mind the next time you conduct a reading because when we receive Tarot readings, we use all the cards, and because each of us has a natal chart that represents the entire zodiac. As with the elements, our modern methods of divination are rooted in antiquity and are inseparably tied to one another.
Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio are the zodiac signs associated with water. These signs are represented by the suite of Cups in the Minor Arcana. Each suite consists of 14 cards, with four face cards, one ace, and in this example, a range from the Two of Cups to the Ten of Cups. The typical images of the face cards are a Page, Knight, Queen, and King (although many contemporary decks will vary their interpretation and naming to include non-binary and non-colonial representations). And these are the cards that Tarot readers frequently interpret as a particular individual in the client’s life. For instance, it’s common for a Queen of Cups to represent a Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio lady who plays a significant role in the reading. The traits most frequently ascribed to water signs, like as emotional receptivity, relational fluidity, intuition, and psychic aptitude, are related with the suite of cups. These characteristics give feelings of loss, friendship, heartbreak, and romantic connection an emotional depth and perspective. In a reading, the Three of Cups, for instance, denotes enduring friendships, the development of a community, imaginative teamwork, and reciprocity from those in your selected circle. The Five of Cups, on the other hand, denotes a person who is full of regret, someone who is mourning, and someone who is unable to see the benefits and offerings before them because the ghost of what was lost and irretrievable is blocking their vision. Although this is less of a rule and more of an affirmation given that water signs are frequently driven into emotional labor and psychic development, it is also frequently the case that water sign dominants tend to find a lot more Cups in their Tarot reading than the other signs. Noteworthy is the analogy between the Tarot’s Cups suite and a deck of playing cards’ Hearts suite (the symbolism is not lost here). It is thought that playing cards are descended from the Tarot and can thus be used, in a pinch, for divination in a manner similar to that of the Tarot.
Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are the zodiac signs associated with fire. These omens are connected to the Tarot’s Wands (or Rods). The suite of Wands largely depicts the same themes of creative drive in one’s daily life because the element of fire is connected to inspiration and generative creativity, primordial energy and ambition, passion, and sexuality. The Six of Wands, for instance, in a Tarot reading, is probably a sign that the inquirer has recently succeeded in their goals and received some type of recognition or reward for their work. It is a card that encourages the seeker to further harness their desires by validating their creative endeavors. The Ten of Wands, on the other hand, may represent a person who has taken on too much responsibility and must now decide what is essential to their success and what can be shed or assigned to others in their team or community. When the King of Wands occurs in a Tarot reading, it is stated that he represents an authoritarian (king) fire sign (Wands) in the querent’s life because face cards are frequently connected to individuals in a querent’s life or the querent themself. The suite of Clubs in a deck of cards stands in for the Wands.
The three Earth signs of the zodiacTaurus, Virgo, and Capricornare connected to the Tarot’s suite of pentacles, often known as coins. These symbols stand for attributes such as realism, sensuality, toughness, service, and outward manifestation. These characteristics are mostly the same in the equivalent suite of Pentacles, and the cards depict the various elements of creating and maintaining one’s surroundings, particularly in regard to prosperity, physical health, the accomplishment of goals, and foundation construction. Earthly matters, or that which grounds, supports, and maintains us, are the focus of the pentacle suit. These cards can also help us identify the areas of ourselves where we have room for improvement because the Tarot is a tool for both divination and introspection. Consider the Four of Pentacles as an example. This card frequently represents someone who is secure in their position and who believes they have built a commendable reputation and skill set. This card serves as a kind of confirmation and assurance. However, seeing this card in a reading can also point to someone who places too much importance on material things and lives by the scarcity paradigm and is hesitant to step outside of their comfort zone for fear of instability or failure. This person’s demand for security can prevent them from fully experiencing the varied sensualities of a broad style of living. A face card from the suite of Pentacles, like the Page of Pentacles, generally denotes a Virgo, Taurus, or Capricorn in the querent’s life, just like with the other components and suites. One can substitute the suite of Diamonds for the suite of Pentacles in a deck of playing cards.
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are the air signs of the zodiac, and they are represented by the Tarot’s Swords suite, which is also represented by the Spades suite in a standard deck of playing cards. Air signs are renowned for their adept communication, dedication to learning, dissemination of concepts and information, promotion of a sense of community through shared interests and ideals, and the preserving and carrying of stories. The querent’s capacity to uphold agreements, resolve conflicts, remain mindfully present, use introspection as a tool for progress, and accurately identify and react to their social situations are examples of how these qualities and themes appear in the Tarot. In any reading, the Swords suite can be exceptionally difficult. The Three of Swords, for instance, denotes a potential betrayal or separation. Like the other cards in the Swords suite, the Three of Swords is a penalty card and a teaching opportunity. The Three of Swords can be used by the inquirer as a tool for contemplating loss and what is and isn’t inevitable. Is suffering lessened if we anticipate it will happen? The Nine of Swords is a card that similarly denotes agitation, anxiety, and despair. Nine mounted swords are seen behind a sobbing individual in bed who is unable to relax. The seeker is tasked with identifying the swords on the card as being ornamental, mounted, and in the figure’s possession. They no longer pose a direct threat because they are merely symbolic items. The figure instead sobs at their meaning and the reality of their existence. The card challenges the reader to consider how we construct our own reality by clinging to fantasies of what might-have-been rather than what actually exists. Similar to Aquarius, the Swords suite aims to comprehend rather than to react. The wind is what moves the wave from one coast to the next. A face card from the Swords suite in a Tarot reading frequently represents a Libra, Gemini, or Aquarius in the querent’s life.

The Queen of Cups Upright
Everybody desires to experience complete acceptance and unwavering love for their actual, unadulterated selves, and this is just how the Queen expresses her love. She holds room for individuals who require a safe place to be vulnerable while she is with you and is really present. She is empathetic and caring, and she makes decisions from the heart (even when doing so often requires defying logic!). Embody this energy by connecting emotionally with others and displaying tolerance, comprehension, and unwavering emotional support.
Be careful to respect your boundaries and avoid taking on anything that isn’t your responsibility to carry because you have such a keen knowledge of what other people need emotionally. You can be the dependable rock that everyone looks to and a positive force for your friends and family, but you must also be able to recognize when your soft heart has had enough. It is possible to be TOO giving to the point that you ignore your own needs. Keep your focus and avoid absorbing any energy that isn’t your own, you know what I mean?
The Queen of Cups Reversed
It’s important to put yourself first when this Queen shows up in reverse. While you are taking care of everyone around you, you are neglecting your own emotional needs. Be open to receiving help from those around you and treat yourself with the same compassion and understanding that you extend to others. This tarot card indicates that you are emotionally spent and energetically burned out if you have been feeling overly sensitive lately. Honey, try not to be so hard on yourself. Enjoy some downtime and tranquility. After all, greater degrees of compassion result from loving oneself.
This card serves as a reminder to put an end to self-doubt. Why are you ignoring the warning signs that are being offered to you when, if something doesn’t feel right, it usually isn’t? Ignoring your gut feelings can only result in needless suffering and a chaotic situation. Make judgments based on your gut feeling and trust it.
