About Tarot
Major arcana and their astrological influences
Tarot's Major Arcana cards are linked to an astrological influence...a planet, zodiac sign or element.
Because both Tarot and Astrology have evolved over the centuries, so have these correlations.
Below are lists of common correspondences and are grouped in "schools of thought" with a link
for more in-depth information following the group. Note that this table does not
list the arcana number as these vary between decks, but a common card name. This name signifies
a card in every esoteric deck (though not every deck uses the same name).
