Tarot readings through zodiac signs Here's The Tarot Card That Represents Your Zodiac Sign

"Each tarot card has an element, planet and/or zodiac sign associated with it, and learning about these can help tarot students get a grasp on astrology, and help astrologers understand the tarot," astrologer and tarot reader Annabel Gat tells Bustle. "One of the most exciting things to me about divination is the correspondences between the systems." Tarot decks are made up of 78 cards, and 22 of those are known as the Major Arcana, which represent deeper and more overarching themes in our lives. The cards associated with each of the 12 signs of the zodiac are all Major Arcana cards. The remaining 56 cards are known as the Minor Arcana, and they're divided up into four suits that correspond with the four elements of the zodiac: wands (fire), pentacles (earth), swords (air), and cups (water).

Tarot and astrology are similar in that both systems can be used to gain insight into yourself, your life, as well as your future. "While astrological divination is based on trackable phenomenon (the moving planets), tarot is random: cards are shuffled and drawn by chance," Gat says. "But both studies are beautiful tools for self-reflection." Tarot, like astrology, uses archetypes and symbolism to weave together a story that can offer us guidance — it's just that one practice uses cards while the other uses planets and zodiac signs.

Knowing the tarot card that represents your zodiac sign can help you channel the energy of both tarot and astrology — and give you a little bit of mystical insight into yourself too. Read on to find yours.

Aries: The Emperor

The Emperor corresponds with cardinal fire sign Aries. This card is aligned with a take-charge energy of leadership — emperors are rulers with great power, after all. And it also denotes impatience, as the Emperor wants to take action on things immediately. This sounds a lot like Aries, the zodiac's fearless leader. Aries are known for their impulsive personalities. And just like the Emperor, Aries are very proactive, given that they're cardinal signs.

Taurus: The Hierophant

The Hierophant corresponds with fixed earth sign Taurus. This card represents spiritual tradition, wisdom, and morality. It likes to stick to the tried-and-true methods of doing things instead of straying from the beaten path. Similarly, dependable Taurus is all about going slow and steady. This sign is known for being stubborn, so its energy aligns well with the traditional vibes of the Hierophant.

Gemini: The Lovers

The Lovers correspond with the mutable air sign Gemini. This card is all about duality, partnership, and making choices. And in a similar fashion to the two lovers, Gemini is represented by the symbol of the twins. Gemini energy easily embodies two opposing ends of a spectrum at once, so duality is its thing. Because the Lovers typically represents a choice, quick-thinking Gemini is a great match, as it loves to aggregate information to make an informed decision.continue reading...
