Major Arcana of the Tarot and the Signs of the Zodiac
If the Tarot describes the path of a person’s life and signs of natural or developing qualities, we can connect the Tarot with Astrology and the Zodiac!
The Intricate Relationship Between the Tarot Cards and the Zodiac Signs
Astrology addresses the study of planets and stars in general and their influences on our lives. The astrological chart, which is a tool of astrology, is the data where we have the position of the planets at the moment of our birth.
Most people know the wisdom of the signs. Still, few know about the wisdom of the Tarot and that we can make associations and go deeper into the study of the representativeness of the Card aligned with the Sign’s own energy.
The Tarot is an oracle of cards that have existed formally (as we know it) since the sixteenth century. Composed of 78 cards, 22 are the major arcana, and 56 are the minor arcana. The minor arcana is known to us because it is represented on traditional card decks. The major arcana, on the other hand, from the divinatory point of view, express our individual motives. In the major arcana, we have a significant view of the reality behind what is manifesting in our lives. Let’s talk about the constellations. In the sky, there is a zodiacal belt formed by 12 constellations or signs. Each Sign represents a set of qualities that describe the characteristics of a human being.
Knowing the meaning of the signs allows us to interpret a part of the language of heaven and its manifestation on the terrestrial plane.
If the Tarot describes the path of a human being’s life and the signs of natural or developing qualities, we can associate the oracle with astrology and the zodiac! There are characteristics in the Cards that the signs express and vice versa.
