How to Use Your Zodiac Card
Use your sign's card as a personal significator, a meditation focus or a reminder of your strengths. Compare it with your tarot birth card, which is calculated from your full birth date.
Minor Arcana and the Zodiac
In the same system, the numbered cards 2–10 of each suit are linked to 10-degree sections (decans) of the zodiac signs of that suit's element — for example the Two, Three and Four of Wands belong to Aries. This is an advanced layer most beginners can skip.
Court Cards and Signs
Court cards are also linked to sign periods in the Golden Dawn system, though different books assign them differently. Choose one reference and stay consistent.
