Zodiac and tarot connections really vary based on the system you use.
Since astrology came thousands of years before tarot, they weren’t originally meant to go together. I do readings at local spots and markets, and everyone seems to have their own interpretation of how the cards align with signs. You can definitely make your own associations that feel right to you.
The correspondences from Papus in Tarot of the Bohemians work well for me.
So Eastern traditions do tarot and zodiac stuff way differently than what we’re used to. Like with Vedic astrology, they focus a lot on lunar nodes and karma. Makes you read cards like the Moon or Wheel of Fortune in a whole new way. Different cultures really bring their own perspective to mixing tarot with astrology.
Been mixing zodiac correspondences like a tarot cocktail lately, Death card for my Scorpio moon’s transformation work, but Tower for when Mercury retrograde hits my Scorpio stellium (warning: may cause sudden urges to text your ex at 3am).
There’s this approach where you map your entire birth chart to the majors based on what actually connects during readings, rather than sticking to one rigid system, it’s been helpful for getting those personal correspondences to actually click during shadow work.
