ARE TAROT AND ZODIAC RELATED?

Tarot and Zodiac are two completely different concepts. They are completely different yet have a very strong connection. But let us start with the basics first, so that it does not get confusing and is much easier to understand. Tarot card reading is the practice of reading tarot cards in order to gain cognizance of the past, present and future by choosing the cards and interpreting and understanding the meaning behind those cards, as well as applying it to the situation at hand and is further divided into two decks being Arcana Major and Arcana Minor. Zodiac is the circle of twelve divisions of the celestial longitude that are concentrated upon the path of the Sun, and the name of each of the twelve divisions are what we call as Zodiac signs and are often identified by their constellations, each Zodiac sign having its own constellation.

Which brings us to the crux of the topic. Are the Tarot carding reading and the Zodiac signs related? And if so, how are they related? They are strongly related and it is even believed that few of the decks of the Arcana Major came into existence because of the constellations. Tarot card reading and the Zodiac signs are related through the four elements being- fire (Sagittarius, Leo, and Aries which belong to The Tarot Wands in tarot card reading), air (Libra, Gemini, and Aquarius which belong to The Tarot Swords in tarot card reading), water ( Pisces, Scorpio, and Cancer which belong The Tarot Cups in tarot card reading) and earth (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn which belongs to The Tarot Pentacles in tarot card reading). Not only that, both the Tarot and the Zodiac also draw their energy from the seven planets. So, let us see how exactly are they related and go more in detail.
