Okay, here’s my blog post about diving into celestial tarot cards meanings!
Alright folks, so I’ve been messing around with tarot for a while now, mostly sticking to the Rider-Waite deck. But lately, I’ve been super drawn to these celestial tarot decks. The artwork is just gorgeous, and the whole vibe is totally different. I figured, why not take the plunge and see what they’re all about?
First things first, I needed a good reference. I wasn’t about to rely solely on the little booklets that come with the decks. Those are usually pretty basic. So, I started searching online for a decent celestial tarot cards meanings pdf. I wanted something I could easily reference on my tablet while I was doing readings.
The initial searches were kinda overwhelming. There’s a TON of stuff out there! Some sites were just trying to sell courses, others had really generic interpretations that weren’t specific to the celestial imagery. Finally, after digging for a bit, I stumbled upon a few that seemed promising. I downloaded like three different PDFs. One looked like it was scanned from an old book, another was a compilation from various websites, and the last one seemed like it was written by a practicing tarot reader who actually used celestial decks.
I decided to start comparing them. I pulled out my Celestial Tarot deck (it’s seriously beautiful, if you haven’t seen one, Google it!) and started going through the cards one by one. I’d look at a card, try to intuitively feel what it meant, and then compare my feelings to the meanings in the PDFs.
What I quickly realized was that the celestial imagery REALLY changes the way you interpret the cards. For example, the Star card in the Rider-Waite is about hope and renewal. But in my celestial deck, it features a constellation that relates to a specific myth about guidance. So, the meaning became less about general hope and more about finding your true north, following your intuition, and embracing your destiny.
I spent a good chunk of the afternoon just going through the Major Arcana like this. It was actually pretty fun! I made notes in the margins of the “practicing reader” PDF about how the celestial imagery shifted the meaning for me personally. That was key, I think – not just blindly accepting what the PDF said, but actually connecting with the cards myself.
Next, I tackled the Minor Arcana. This was a bit more tedious, because there are SO many of them! But I used the same process: card by card, comparing the PDF meanings, and making my own notes. I also started paying attention to the astrological associations of each card (like, which planet or zodiac sign is associated with the card). That added another layer of meaning that I hadn’t really considered before.
I’m still working on memorizing all the meanings, but I already feel way more confident using my celestial deck. Having a good reference PDF was essential, but the real learning happened when I started actively engaging with the cards and developing my own interpretations.
Here’s what I learned from this experience:
- Finding a good celestial tarot cards meanings pdf is a good starting point, but don’t treat it as gospel.
- Take the time to actually study the imagery on the cards and see how it relates to the traditional tarot meanings.
- Pay attention to the astrological associations of the cards.
- Trust your intuition! Your own interpretation is the most important thing.
I’m excited to keep exploring the celestial tarot and see where it takes me. Maybe I’ll post some readings soon! Let me know in the comments if you have any experience with celestial tarot, or if you have any tips for learning the meanings.
