The Marriage of Astrology & the Tarot!


It’s true! While the dawn of modern Tarot was born in the late 1800s, if you were able to travel back in time 6,000 years ago, to towering, layers ziggurat in Babylonia, you’d be able to stare & wonder at the planets & stars alongside a Chaldean astrologer. Tarot & Astrology have always been connected! Tracing back to the earliest tarot decks has always been connected with The Sun, & Moon, as, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn.  In the year 1785, a French occultist Jean-Baptiste Alliette came up with a system set of correspondences between the Tarot & Astrology. And as time passed, soon other philosophers & mystics, began to notice the vast similarities between the Tarot & Astrology. Today though, the Tarots most knowledgeable association with astrology is on a much more recent study.

In the Tarot deck you have the Major Arcana & the Minor Arcana, total of 78 cards in the tarot deck.

I’m going to open with the correspondence between the Planets & the Major Arcana in the Tarot! What they mean in relation to one-another!

Regarding the Major Arcana cards, they describe monumental, life-changing events, as well as experiences, such as when you fall in love, or when giving birth, starting a new Job, or finding a new home! For those of you who have had Tarot Card readings, you may have noticed, the Major Arcana cards are power-full that the experiences they depict seem as if they are outside our control. The Minor Arcana resemble our everyday task. But are just as important! They show us how we live out our big events on a day to day basics! On a very symbolic level, it is known that the Major Arcana cards resemble teachers, mentors, & guides, which hold the key to our mysteries of our life, they help guide our passage though every critical point of our journey.
