The Zodiac in the Tarot: How Astrology Brings the Major Arcana to Life

Tarot and astrology have been intertwined for centuries, yet many people study them as completely separate systems. In this introductory class, we’ll begin exploring how the zodiac signs are reflected through the Major Arcana and how understanding astrology can deepen your tarot practice.

Rather than memorizing card meanings, you’ll learn the archetypal language shared between these two symbolic systems. We’ll explore how each zodiac sign expresses itself through the tarot, why these correspondences exist, and how they can add another layer of interpretation to readings.

Whether you primarily read tarot, study astrology, or are simply curious about how the two work together, this class provides a practical foundation for combining both traditions.

In this class we’ll explore:

• The historical relationship between tarot and astrology

• The Major Arcana and their zodiac sign correspondences

• How astrological archetypes bring greater depth to card interpretation

• Using zodiac symbolism to understand personality, motivation, and life themes within a reading

• Simple ways to begin blending tarot and astrology into your personal practice

No prior experience with either tarot or astrology is required, although students with experience in one system will discover new ways to expand their understanding of the other.

This class begins a new ongoing Tarot & Astrology series, where each session builds practical skills for combining these two rich symbolic traditions. Future classes will explore the planets, elements, houses, decans, court cards, timing techniques, birth chart integration, and more.
