Major Arcana Meanings: The fool- The Lovers
Hello friends, this will be part of a series I do on tarot cards and their associated meaning; please enjoy, and as always feel free to reach out to me if you have questions. Some of these associations are personal, whereas others are simply well known and accepted meanings of the cards. Do not take this as a comprehensive list, rather as one reader's interpretation.
the fool. I associate this card with innocent, blind faith, new beginnings, often an optimistic card, however when coupled with more negative cards or reversed I think it important to consider that this card may be telling the querent that they are on a foolish path. The querent might want to ask; what’s going to happen if I walk off this cliff, will I fall and hit the rocks below or will I fly? Planet: Uranus
The magician: a card of creating things. When representing the querent, it meas that they have the power to create their own destiny,however when representing another person in relation to the querent, it sometimes can mean that person is trying to control coerce, or otherwise control a person. Planet: Mercury
The high priestess. A card of spirituality and higher powers. Also duality, means that the situation is very nuanced and has both great positives and great negatives. I don’t always entirely trust the high priestess for this reason, as even when it is ushering in an era of supposed good there will inevitably be a dark side; this card almost always requires further clarification and should be paid special attention to. Planet: The moon
The empress. “Queen card.” coming into one's power, feminine energy, can often mean pregnancy. When coupled with certain cards it could be a domineering matriarch, misuse of funds or authority, and occasionally indulgence. Planet: venus
The emperor. “The king “ the male equivalent to the empress. Masculine authority figures, sometimes could represent institutions, the police and law enforcement. Be careful with this card because it could become controlling or even potentially abusive very quickly. However it can also symbol support and protection as well. Planet: capricorn
The Hierophant. Marriage, religious institutions, anything established. I also associate this card with the royal family, cults, and occasionally the justice system as well as the school system.
The lovers. Does this card need an explanation?I love this card, it always means a union. However it not only represents romantic love but also that between friends, family members, and even god or a higher power at times. When reversed it could be talking about “trouble in paradise” so to speak, or occasionally even the relationship with the self. Planet: venus
