Each zodiac sign has specific tarot cards assigned to them. I don’t mean just one card. Every sign has a specific card for them, their ruling planet, and their element. But what do these cards mean? Let’s find out.
Today, we are talking about Leo. I know we have given the Fiery Lion a lot of attention this month. But since we only have two more days left in Leo season, I figured we would send them off with one more article. Don’t worry, Virgo, we will talk about you next month.
It may seem obvious why Leo would be connected to the Strength card, the Sun card, and the Wands suit, but let’s dive in a little deeper.
The Suit of Wands
Every fire sign is connected to the wands suit, the suit of self-expression and individuality. Wands represent independence, creativity, and spontaneity. But they can also represent instability and inattentiveness.
This suit truly speaks to Leo’s confidence and selfishness. When a wand card comes up in a reading it can represent artistic pursuits or theatrics. A wand card could also represent frustration and resentment towards our fellow humans. But worry not, fire signs. This is not just a “me me me” suit. Wand cards can represent revelry and comradery, which fits perfectly with the charismatic energy that Leo brings to any party.
The Sun
Leo’s ruling planet is the sun, (yeah, I know the sun is a star, not a planet…JUST GO WITH IT!) So naturally, the tarot card for the sun is, you guessed it, the Sun card!
This card represents victory over the many obstacles of life. When this card is drawn it can mean that you have the ability to triumph over your hardships. It can also mean that you need to take pride in the things you have already accomplished. This card reminds Leo that it is okay to revel in your success.
This card represents untapped possibilities. The sun gives life-sustaining nutrients to little plants so that they have the potential to grow into something strong and beautiful. This card speaks to Leos, who sometimes need to be reminded of their own potential.
Strength
Of course, the card for Leo is Strength. I mean, there is a lion right there on the card… depending on which deck you use. Much like the Sun card, the Strength card reminds Leos of their ability to overcome their troubles. This card can also inspire Leos to be a strong presence in other people’s lives. It is good to remember our own strength, but it is also important to remember that our loved ones may need us to be strong sometimes too.
This card also represents a quiet strength. This is an important lesson for Leos to heed. When drawn, this card reminds us that we do not have to ostentatiously show off our talents. We can show fortitude through patience and quiet perseverance.
There you have it, Leos! Whenever these cards pop up in your reading, know that they may have an extra special message for you.
