Tarot cards for every zodiac sign
Every Rider–Waite–Smith card carries a piece of the sky: a sign, a planet or an element. Each sign has a Major Arcana card, three numbered cards for its decans and a court card. Find your sign, read its cards, and draw a spread for its season.

Questions
- Which tarot card is my zodiac sign?
- Aries: The Emperor; Taurus: The Hierophant; Gemini: The Lovers; Cancer: The Chariot; Leo: Strength; Virgo: The Hermit; Libra: Justice; Scorpio: Death; Sagittarius: Temperance; Capricorn: The Devil; Aquarius: The Star; Pisces: The Moon.
- What are decans in tarot?
- Each sign is split into three parts of about ten days, called decans, each with a ruling planet. In the Golden Dawn system the Two to Ten of each suit are the 36 decans, so every numbered minor card has a planet, a sign and a stretch of dates.
- Is tarot astrology?
- No, but the two grew together. The Golden Dawn, whose system the Rider–Waite–Smith deck was made within, gave every card an astrological meaning. You can read the cards without it; it adds a layer when cards of one sign or planet gather in a spread.
