About this deal

I am in two minds about the symbolism behind the Queen of Pentacles. It is possible that the furry creature could represent a rabbit, but it is also possible that it is a hare. The instruments of the suits – Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles actually appear in the cards and the animals are shown interacting with them. Many Tarot readers are confused, however, as to what the snake represents in one of the cups of the 7 of Cups. In this case, the snake symbolizes the same thing as it does in the Lovers card. The snake is in the cup because sexuality and earthly pleasures are one of the choices which the figure can make, the others being money, beauty, spirituality, and so on. TORTOISE On the throne of The King of Pentacles, there are bull symbols that probably represent the sign of Taurus. These reflect the fact that this King is determined, indulgent, and a lover of all things beautiful, just like your typical Taurian.

Animal Archetypes are connected to our inner sense of self and represent an essential part of our own nature. Although the suits have different names Emotions (Cups), Inspiration (Wands), Voices (Swords), and Materials (Pentacles), that doesn’t mean that the cards have different meanings than your average tarot cards.

Although speculative, the tortoise can be seen as the creature that the King of Pentacles is resting his foot on. Like the tortoise, the King of Pentacles is associated with wisdom, achievements through hard work, and expertise in their field. This is only for the real GOT and TAROT lovers out there. What a perfect intersection of our two favorites. On The Lovers tarot card, a snake is coiled around an apple tree on the feminine side. The card speaks about the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. The snake can be seen to symbolize temptation, sexuality, and choices. In spite of the author's assurances that these totems can physically show up in the querent’s life as guides, this tarot is top heavy with North American animals so unless you live there this seems rather unlikely. However fauna from Africa, Australia, Europe, Asia, and South America put in appearances, so too do some species of marine and insect life that are found the world over.

It comes with an accessible guidebook that helps you how to embrace the gifts of the tarot and integrate them into your life. The dog and the wolf on these cards are there to remind the seeker to use both intuition and common sense when making decisions. There is no clear-cut way with the Moon, no this and that. All choices must be made on their own merit and dealt with individually at that particular time. There cannot be too much listening to the spirit or too much following to the mind. Both must work in harmony if the seeker wishes to achieve the best outcome.

Some of the cards depict suffering. Death is a California condor feeding on carrion. The five of coins is an image of five dead raccoon dogs, a primitive canid species often brutally exploited in the Chinese fur trade. The five of cups depicts a capybara, a large rodent, dead from a bloody wound in its side. In the Court cards Knights are featured with shields, and the King and Queen have crowns situated nearby or within their grasp. The symbol of the lion on the Strength card is pretty obvious as lions symbolize mastery, honor, and strength. Sometimes lions also signal important people. Also, the fact that the woman on the card is taming the lion and opening its mouth is a sign of control and the ability to conquer animal instincts, a common theme in Tarot. Three layouts are described (no diagrams are given) – the 8-card Inner Totem Pole, the 3-card Archetype Spread, and the 3-card Situation Spread.

Therefore, because of the Minotaur myth, bulls symbolize earthly pleasures. In Tarot, the King of Pentacles is the ultimate earth, grounded Court hence why there is a bull on this card. CAT The wolf and the dog on the Moon Tarot cards are supposed to symbolize both human restraint and animal instincts. The dog is tamed, but the wolf is the wild, natural, intuitive thoughts and feelings we all have, which are buried deep beneath the surface.With use, I think they will discover layers of insight into their personal lineage, regardless of their ethnicity. 21. Cat Tarot VIEW PRICE In Romany Gypsy culture, it is common for horses to represent friends, similar to how dogs do in gorger culture. Therefore, for me, it makes sense that Knights are riding horses because I often interpret them as someone you may have a friendship with. However, I think that in the case of Tarot, the Knights’ horses are supposed to symbolize initiative and hard work, which is another common interpretation for a horse. They kept the symbolisms almost identical while putting more emphasis on important elements, making these tarot cards easier to understand and use. The Modern Way’s Major Arcana Cards

But, in the Tarot, dog symbolism is completely different. The dogs are used to reflect growth, animal instinct, and even financial status. A bull is depicted on the throne of the King of Pentacles tarot card. The bull is concerned with the astrological sign of Taurus who is a lover of indulgence, materialism, and luxury. Bulls tend to be determined and stubborn, which mirrors the King of Pentacles who is a successful leader through their hard work and ambitious drive. Cat Animals can offer us great wisdom and insight into our inner world and help us get closer to our true nature. Animal Guides or Totems are animals which choose you and are with you for the duration of your life. They serve many functions such as mentor, friend, companion, and protector.It is interesting to think that if the King of Pentacles features a tortoise, then what if the animal on the Queen of Pentacles is actually a hare? How do the card’s meanings change in that respect? Other than the sign of Taurus, bulls are associated with sexuality. References to Greek myths are common in Tarot, and the idea that bulls are symbols of sexual desire comes from the Greek myth of the Minotaur.
