Tarot Cards and Affinities?

Do tarot cards have affinities or correspondences to other things such as the zodiac, elements, planets, colors, ect.? And if so, what are they?

Tarot Cards and Affinities?
Most decks follow a traditional Astrological correspondence for the Major Arcana


Which are:


Fool - Uranus


Magician - Mercury


High Priestess - Moon


Empress - Venus


Emperor - Aires


Heirophant - Taurus


Lovers - Gemini


Chariot - Cancer


Strength - Leo


Hermit - Virgo


Wheel of Fortune - Jupiter


Justice - Libra


Hanged Man - Neptune


Death - Scorpio


Temperance - Sagittarius


Devil - Capricorn


Tower - Mars


Star - Aquarius


Moon - Pisces


Sun - Sun


Judgment - Pluto


World - Saturn





There is also the Sign/Planet connections, the planets that rule the signs


Sun/Leo


Moon/Cancer


Mercury/Gemini %26amp; Virgo


Venus/Taurus %26amp; Libra


Mars/Aries


Jupiter/Sagittarius


Saturn/Capricorn


Uranus/Aquarius


Neptune/Pisces


Pluto/Scorpio





For the Minor Arcana Suits (some other thoughts have different correspondences)


Pentacles - Earth, physical/material, Winter, Midnight


Cups - Water, emotional, Summer, Noon


Swords - Air, mental/intellect, Fall, 6pm


Wands - Fire, creative/spiritual/action, Spring, 6am


Some decks will swap the Wands %26amp; Swords, so Wands is Air and Swords is Fire (I like these better for myself)





The Court cards also have signs associated to them, but not everyone agrees what they are. I feel that this is more a personal thing, or how it fits the deck.


For me I use these associations


Pentacles-


King- Capricorn


Queen- Virgo


Knight- Taurus


Swords- (using swords as fire as I do)


King- Leo


Queen- Sagittarius


Knight- Aries


Cups-


King- Pisces


Queen- Cancer


Knight- Scorpio


Wands-


King- Aquarius


Queen- Libra


Knight- Gemini





None of these associations are set in stone, again tarot and associations are a personal thing and can be altered as needed and as your intuition inspires.

Reply:I think it is suppose to be more about what you sense the connection is than what you actually figure out like a formula.

Reply:Yes, they do. It actually can vary a little from style to style, so you should study closely the deck that you're using. Each card is crafted with many layers of meaning.
