I wouldn’t say tarot is astrology, but they definitely share the same kind of vibe or culture.
Astrology looks at how planets, stars, and zodiac signs influence our lives and personalities. Tarot, on the other hand, uses archetypal symbols and intuition to shed light on different parts of our lives.
The connection comes from how some tarot cards correspond to astrological signs, planets, or houses. Like, each Major Arcana card can be linked to certain planets or zodiac signs based on their meanings. This adds another layer to reading the cards.
For example, The Empress often connects to Venus or Taurus, symbolizing nurturing, abundance, and relationships. Strength is usually linked to Leo, representing courage and inner power.
But it’s not like you have to know astrology to get tarot — they’re not two parts of the same thing. They’re more like different paths that deal with similar archetypes.
At the end of the day, it’s about what you connect with. You can be spiritual in your own way, even if you don’t vibe with astrology or any mystical system. It’s all personal.
