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 Scorpio. The feisty sign deserves a little attention from our trusty tarot deck. Last week we listened to a sensual Scorpio playlist. But today, we are going to kick off the season by seeing what the cards have in store for our self-contained yet unrestrained sign.
Scorpio is connected to the Death card, the Judgement card, the Tower card, and the Cups suit. Now let’s dive in a little deeper and find out why.
The Suit of Cups
Every water sign is connected to the Cups suit. Cups represent harmony and matters of the heart. But the suit can also represent peer pressure and hypersensitivity.
The Cups speak to Scorpio’s intensely emotional nature. When a Cup card is pulled during a reading it can mean heightened psychic abilities and/or romantic relationships. It can also mean a dissolution or lack of harmony in certain relationships. This is the suit of emotional connection, and touches on Scorpio’s zeal and amorous tendencies.
The Tower
Scorpio has two ruling planets, Pluto and Mars. Mars is its ancient ruler, and Pluto is its modern ruler. Since Scorpio has two celestial rulers we are going to discuss the tarot cards for both planets.
The tarot card for Mars is the Tower. This card represents liberation and an end to certain restrictions. When the Tower pops up in a reading, it can mean that it is time to break free from a situation that is holding you back. This card illustrates Scorpio’s need for freedom.
Judgement
Scorpio’s modern ruler is Pluto and the card for Pluto is Judgement. This card represents doubt and discernment. When this card turns up in a reading, it can mean that external forces are causing you to question yourself. It directs Scorpio not to take what they have heard at face value.
This card illustrates Scorpio’s ability to trust their own gut.
Death
The Tarot Card for Scorpio is Death. But don’t freak out! That does not mean you will meet an untimely demise. The Death card simply represents the closing of a chapter of your life. This card reminds Scorpios that it is best to let the past die.
The Death card inspires Scorpio to leave situations that no longer serve them. It may be painful to let go of certain things. But letting go will allow the fixed water sign to set out on new adventures.
There you have it, Scorpio! An unbridled tarot spread for the zodiac’s liberated lover! Whenever these cards pop up in your reading, know that they may have an extra special message for you.
