What are tarot horoscopes?

A tarot horoscope is a combination of tarot and astrology. A different tarot card is drawn for each sign, for every day of the year.

This combination of tarot insight and tarot interpretation with daily horoscopes is also a great way to learn tarot reading one day at a time. Think of it not only as a great alternative to horoscopes, but a great way to learn the cards of the tarot deck, one card at a time.

Tarot horoscopes vs. tarot readings

How does a free tarotscope differ from a regular tarot reading? Tarot horoscopes are neither as specific nor as detailed as a traditional tarot reading which uses tarot spread. Daily tarot horoscopes should be seen as general advice similar to a horoscope.

Tarot cards and Zodiac signs

When a minor arcana card is drawn for your tarot horoscope, keep in mind that the card may also be referencing the importance of another sign in your day.

For example: The sign of cups is associated with the element of water, and the signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. The tarot card suit of pentacles is associated with the element of earth, and the zodiac signs of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. The tarot suit of swords is associated with the element of air, and the astrological signs of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. And the tarot suit of wands is associated with the element fire and the sun signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

Your daily tarot horoscope may be referencing the overall meaning of the tarot card -- but it may also be referencing more subtle aspects of the tarot card like the related element, related astrological sign, or the meanings contained in the tarot suit.

The meaning of tarot card suits

Generally speaking the meaning of minor arcana tarot card suits can be defined as follows:

Tarot suit of Cups: Feelings, emotional issues, love, relationships.
Tarot suit of Pentacles: Health, finances and the material world.
Tarot suit of Swords: Decision making, communication, logical thought and analysis.
Tarot suit of Wands: Passion, creativity, inspiration, action.

One tarot card. Many meanings.

As you can see, there are a lot of potential meanings associated with each daily tarot card. If the direct meaning of the card doesn't make immediate sense to your day or your situation, the meaning and the message may be hidden in its more esoteric meanings from related elements, astrological signs, suit meanings or the visual imagery on the card.

Lastly, don't be afraid to accept literal interpretations or direct interpretations based on visual imagery. As many readers have said: Sometimes a bird is just a bird.
