Major Arcana

THE FOOL

Keys: New beginnings - Inner Child - Adventure - Faith - Impulse - Movement - Freedom

The Message:

The Fool, is that inner spark of your being that journeys throughout the many lifetimes, forms and worlds of your story. It is a forceful energy that gives you the strength and foresight to go your own way along a new, uncharted path. When you connect with this part of yourself, the serendipitous moments seem to continuously unfold around you. The lessons that shape and form you throughout all of your adventures and awakenings are going to be essential to your self-discovery, but don’t forget: the limitations of the outside world also have the power to distract us from our higher calling. This is when we must look inward to find the answers. To seek out who we really are, beyond what we have been told or expected to be – to find out what fulfils us from a much deeper place of spirit.

Questions To Ask:

How am I going to write the book of my life?
What deeper spiritual awakenings are beginning to stir within me?
Am I ready to take the next big step?

Reversed:

This could indicate a time of confusion or uncertainty over life-altering decisions. If you have had difficulties in making choices in the past, or have relied on the reassurance or direction of others, you may want to take a step back, spend some time alone and meditate on this for yourself. It is important to trust your instincts and intuition at this time. If you are feeling disconnected from your Higher Self, try exploring avenues of meditation, creative visualization and self-expression.

THE MAJOR ARCANA

These are the juicy, potent keys in life that shake us to the core and fuel our hearts. Also known as trump cards, the Majors are numbered 0 (the Fool) to 21 (the World). These indicate universal archetypes found on the path to spiritual self-awareness, highlighting stages in life that we might encounter as we search for the meaning of it all. These lessons are traditionally reflected in the Fool’s Journey of the Majors as he meets each oracle and transitions through the three major planes of existence that show up in this Arcana:

The Physical/Material Plane: The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers, The Chariot

The Mental/Psychological Plane: Justice, The Hermit, The Wheel of Fortune, Strength, The Hanged Man, Death, Temperance

The Spiritual/Astral Plane: The Devil, The Tower, The Star, The Moon, The Sun, Judgement, The World.

These connect to the journey of our spirit and the powerful forces that come into play. When these cards show up in readings, it is important to pay attention. Cards in the Major Arcana act as signposts to events, energies or people that are, or will be, significant in your life and story.

THE EMPEROR

THE EMPEROR - TAROT CARD - THE MAJOR ARCANA CARD - DIAXNA BLOG

THE EMPEROR

Keys: stability • action • success • authority • balance • structure • reason • protection • discipline

The Message:

While this card points to being able to strategize and plan ahead, perhaps in the guise of time management, and structured routines and responsibilities, the Emperor also encourages us to take stock of our state of mind and powers of discernment. If you are experiencing stress due to external influences in your life, now may be a good time to maintain your focus on the task ahead and reassess how you are processing your thoughts. Very often when our minds are buzzing with clutter, our external world can end up being a bit chaotic and draining. The Emperor asks us to step up and be confident in who we are. He encourages us to take back our power and to distinguish thoughts and actions that are damaging or aggressive from those that are nurturing and positive. From here, we can begin to create order out of chaos, and be systematic with our plan of attack. Now is the time to be a strategic thinker in order to get things done!

Questions To Ask:

How can I take the initiative in order to manifest my goals

What steps will I need to take from here on?

Where do my strengths lie?

Reversed:

When reversed, the Emperor could indicate a rigid or stubborn mindset, which might be associated with someone who is overbearing and authoritative, or who lacks an inner spiritual connection. If you are seeking a more flexible and non-conformist lifestyle, now may be the time to speak your truth and break away from any limitations that have been imposed on you. You might need to detach from certain people in your life in order to heal from within and make positive changes.

THE EMPRESS

THE EMPRESS - TAROT CARD - THE MAJOR ARCANA CARD - DIAXNA BLOG

THE EMPRESS

Keys: creativity • expression • pleasure • fertility • Mother Nature • Goddess • Divine Feminine • abundance

The Message:

This card suggests you may be experiencing feelings of inner growth, of developing new ideas or a renewed sense of sensuality. The Empress encourages us to reconnect with our gentle spiritual nature and divine feminine energy, allowing us to celebrate our strength and beauty. Through cultivating a practice of self-reflection, we may uncover tools for personal growth and transformation. When we align with this magic, our spirit is strong, and creativity blossoms from our hearts. The Empress has woven her nurturing wisdom throughout the cycles, seasons and earthly gifts, and asks us to strengthen our vital connection with this knowledge by stimulating our unity with nature and the outdoors. This promotes calmness, increases our energy, and normalizes our natural biological rhythms with Mother Gaia.

Questions To Ask:

Am I taking the time to connect with my true path?

Am I able to ground myself and be present in nature?

What am I cultivating now in my life?

Reversed:

The Empress, reversed, may indicate the existence of low energy or a blockage of ideas and creative expression. A need to utilize your skills and resources, in order to manifest more harmony in your life. It may also indicate indecisiveness or struggling in a relationship, or an overall sense of limbo in which you are searching to find a solution to a problem. Something seems to be missing; perhaps there is a need for introspection in order to question your priorities and soul callings.

THE HIGH PRIESTESS

THE HIGH PRIESTESS - TAROT CARD - THE MAJOR ARCANA CARD - DIAXNA BLOG

THE HIGH PRIESTESS

Keys: wisdom • intuition • mystery • magic • serenity • secret knowledge • Akashic Records

The Message:

The High Priestess is a reminder that we each contain within us the wisdom that we seek. She describes a deep understanding of the higher realms of consciousness and acknowledges the universal balance of light and dark energies within us. As card 2 of the Major Arcana, she represents a strong duality in comparison to the extroverted energy of the previous card, the Magician, who exerts a more active force. The High Priestess indicates an awakened spiritual or psychic awareness within you, and encourages you to make time for introspection and meditation. It marks an understanding of your highest purpose and greatest potential through attaining a balance between your physical and spiritual self: mind, body and spirit.

Questions To Ask:

How can I access the sacred wisdom and truth of the Universe?

Am I ready to trust in my own intuition?

Am I ready to connect with my Higher Self?

Reversed:

It may be a good time to spend some time alone, in order to meditate and explore the realms of your consciousness. Think about how you can take the pressure off yourself at this time. Sometimes the external forces of the world can be chaotic and draining; therefore, it is important to step back and reconnect with activities you love and enjoy. Reversed, this card may also indicate a harboured secret or truth that wants to come out. If there is something weighing on your conscience, now would be a good time to address this delicately.
