Tarot is strongly associated with the feminine. Many significant cards in Tarot include strong female figures, and a number of the most popular decks were designed by women, including the popular Rider-Waite deck by Pamela Coleman Smith in 1909. Christine Payne-Towler, the author of Tarot.com's card interpretations, and Mary Greer, another member of the Tarot.com advisory board, are two of the most respected contemporary Tarot scholars in the world... both strong, wise women.

Intuition is also thought of as a feminine – or yin – quality... and one that anyone, male or female, can develop more fully by using do-it-yourself Tarot.

There are many archetypes in the 78-card Tarot deck, but the Queens and other female images are among the most powerful. So, celebrate the feminine with wise advice!
