What tarot card represents Taurus? This may not be a common question to ask, but a good one nonetheless. After all, almost everything in this world is interconnected. There is so much to know about something through another thing that is seemingly unrelated. So which tarot card represents Taurus? And how can someone use this knowledge to their advantage? Read on to find out!
What exactly is the Taurus Tarot Card?
To answer this question, it is important to understand Taurus itself. This can give a greater insight on the connections between the Zodiac and the tarot card associated with Taurus.
Taurus, as many know, is the Zodiac sign for people born from April 20th to May 20th. The Bull symbolizes this Zodiac, an animal known to be headstrong, and stubborn. Because of this, it is only fitting that Taurus natives are notorious for this trait! And yet, these people are not just one dimensional. Indeed, it is a widely known fact that they have a determination that pulls them through any situation.
The Realistic and Uncompromising Zodiac
Another thing that Taurus is all about is being stable. They value stability because they know it will help them get through uncertain events much more easily. If they happen to have a fallback, even better! It means that they do not have to worry too much if something goes wrong because there’s a plan B. Taurus natives are also practical, finding ways in which they can solve their problems. Nothing is too big for them, as long as they can cook up something from the top of their head!
(And a bit headstrong too!)
Living a life of abundance and luxury is also something that motivates Taurus. While there is nothing wrong with wanting to become rich, it can veer towards this Zodiac becoming increasingly materialistic. It also does not help that they are very possessive. They rarely ever share to anyone they don’t consider deserving- even their loved ones. However, when they do share, they do end up giving so much. Truly, the way they handle certain things is unfathomable to others!
But again, Taurus is stubborn. They know what they want, and they will do everything to push for it! This can be quite detrimental to them, especially when what they want isn’t exactly good for themselves or anyone. This eventually leads to them being resistant to changes that are happening around them. It makes them stuck in old mindsets that aren’t exactly beneficial for them in a rapidly changing world.
Despite these traits, Taurus is loyal, and sees beyond the surface of things. They appreciate even the smallest gestures made for them. All in all, this Zodiac’s natives are complex yet wonderful people. This only means that the Taurus Tarot card will only be as complicated as they are!
So, which Tarot Card is Taurus?
The question of what Tarot card represents Taurus has two possible outcomes. To review, a standard Tarot deck has two parts: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana pretty much symbolizes the big things going on in the world, while the Minor one is for the everyday things. And for someone as extra as Taurus, they of course have Major and Minor Arcana tarot cards!
What Tarot Card represents Taurus in the Major Arcana?
What tarot card represents Taurus best? Well, many Tarot and astrology practitioners will tell you it is the Hierophant! Also known as the Pope or the High Priest, this card is all about tried and tested wisdom. For stubborn borderline traditionalistic Taurus, nothing is more perfect than this card? But how exactly is this a Taurus Tarot Card?
A Card Symbolizing Endurance…
The Hierophant symbolizes stability, wisdom, and reliance and time-tested wisdom. This card is all about practicality! Because of this, the Hierophant knows that he cannot mix his personal emotions with the things he is doing. No matter how complicated things can be, the Hierophant just smiles, knowing that his infinite wisdom and experience will aid him in decision making.
It is also important to note that the Hierophant is all about preserving traditions. Paying attention to what has been and preserving them will ensure that what will be is going to last through the ages. The unwavering loyalty of the Hierophant on the things he believes in will ensure that what he does lasts through the ages.
… And Of Things Going Wrong
Things are not exactly looking up when the Hierophant is upside down, though. It presents not just a card, but a Taurus that is irresponsible and unwilling to fulfill their responsibilities. Everything that Taurus- and indeed the Hierophant- stands for has been overturned. If anything, it is a bad omen. If a Taurus happens to pull this card upside down, things are not looking up. It is therefore best that they take caution in the things that they do, and be a bit more aware of how they do them. There’s no absolute failsafe stopping bad things from happening, but being careful certainly goes a long way.
What Tarot Card Represents Taurus in the Minor Arcana?
Although there are differing answers in this department, most people attribute Taurus to the Knight of Pentacles. Unlike the Hierophant where knowing why is quite easy, the reason behind this connection is not as obvious. But once you know what’s going on, you will come to understand the connection between the card and Zodiac.
So what is the jig with the Knight of Pentacles? The Knight symbolizes focus, practicality, and sticking with tried and true methods. He follows through with his plans, and does them in the way that he knows will likely succeed. Moreover, he will see things to the end. Such traits are very reflective of Taurus’ iron spirit and stubborn determination.
Unfortunately, the reverse of this card is quite a negative harbinger in itself. It translates into lethargy, lack of motivation, and negativity. For Taurus, this card means that the Zodiac is going to be awfully lazy and unmotivated to do anything. They may even procrastinate just so they can avoid doing anything worthwhile! It also means that Taurus will be plagued with dark thoughts that will follow them all throughout. It can be very challenging, and lead to otherwise brilliant Taurus to fall back on the things that they are perfectly capable of doing.
How can I use the Taurus Tarot Card?
Obviously, the best way to use a Taurus Tarot Card is through having them during a Tarot reading. It can be a bit challenging, though, as there is no guarantee that being a Taurus will equate to you pulling a Hierophant or Knight of Pentacles. But if somehow, you actually do pull either of these cards, keep in mind the meaning it holds for your Zodiac sign.
Make sure that you take into consideration the present context of your life. But at the same time, you need to remember that whatever interpretation comes up is not absolute. As the creator of your own destiny, you still have a chance to change the course of your life. After all, no one is more able to turn things than you.
What tarot card represents Taurus other than those mentioned?
Other than those mentioned above, there are other Tarot Cards that go well with Taurus. Although it does not mean that they symbolize the Zodiac, they nonetheless hold a deep and wonderful meaning. If a Taurus native happens to pull these Tarot Cards, favorable interpretations will surely abound. So what exactly are these cards?
1. The Empress
A special connection exists between the Empress and Taurus. They share the same planetary ruler in the person of Venus. Both of them also share values that help them cope with life itself, as well as appreciate the world even more as well. For example, the Empress and Taurus are very much into beauty, luxury, and love. They both believe that these things hold the key to experiencing pure joy and happiness.
When a Taurus native pulls out the Empress, this usually means that the Zodiac will enjoy all sorts of wonderful things. The things that they want in life are within their reach, and they will come to make the most out of the stability that they have. Their feminine energy will be far stronger during this time as well. What this means is that they will be more inclined to helping and caring for other people. Truly, a fitting act for someone as loving as Taurus!
2. Wheel of Fortune
Fortune favors the bold, or so what they say. But come to think about it, who exactly are the bold people? That’s right, it is those who hold their ground and work for it! For stubborn, determined, and unwavering Taurus, this is just their normal self. And the Wheel of Fortune card favors this hardworking Zodiac the best!
The wheel never stops turning, and the grind never stops for Taurus. Like the whims of fortune, this Zodiac will also have its ups and downs. But ironically, this crazy whirlwind is what provides the stability that Taurus values so much. If anything, the Wheel of Fortune also tells Taurus natives that change is constant. Considering how these people hate turning things around for one reason or another, this Tarot Card is telling them an important life lesson.
3. Five of Pentacles
Taurus is notorious for its penchant for material things. What better way to do this than to have a card that affirms this? For Five of Pentacles, achieving material success and stability in life amidst hardship is inevitable. Life is quite tough already, but for this card, it is simply a means to an end. The things that a Taurus native will endure may not be a cakewalk, but their results will yield great things.
However, this time of hardship entails financial difficulties, major loss in material resources, and just overall scarcity. The things that Taurus very much values will just be easily taken away from them. The Five of Pentacles is therefore reminding them that they still can do something about their life despite everything. Difficult times shall pass. All that is left to do is for Taurus to hold their ground and push for the things that they want. It will take time, but all their perseverance and hardwork will pay off.
4. Page of Pentacles
Here comes another appearance from the Suit of Pentacles! The Page of Pentacles aligns with Taurus in terms of curiosity. Sure, Taurus is a stickler for the old ways. They are notoriously traditionalistic, but every once in a while they would find themselves wanting to learn about something unique. After all, the potential of this thing taking them to new heights will be unlike any other!
When a Taurus pulls a Page of Pentacles, they are being told that there is a learning opportunity on the way. This learning opportunity will eventually lead to success and more possibilities! However, the Tarot Card is also telling Taurus to do what it can, as much as it can to not miss out on financial stability. Despite this, this card is also telling the Zodiac to prioritize learning over profit. The character development one gets from this endeavor is worth more than the money a person can get!
5. King of Pentacles
To round out the presence of the Pentacles, what better way than to have the king himself? For the King of Pentacles, its connection with Taurus is grounded on maturity, responsibility, and wealth management. There is no question that the Zodiac is known for being quite the “adult”, taking on big things without hesitations. For the King of Pentacles, it means that being an adult willing to take on even the hardest of things will result in great things.
So what does being an adult mean in the eyes of Taurus and the King of Pentacles? It means being practical and aiming for big things, while also being patient, disciplined, and willing to learn from experience. This can then lead to much needed financial stability to the Taurus native who has been seeking it out for so long. The responsibilities may be great, but the rewards are greater. Everything is going to be worth it- even if it may take quite a long time to achieve them all.
