The Spiritual Secrets The Season You Were Born In Reveals About Your Zodiac
Spring
Aries
Your Card: Queen of Wands
The Astrological new year, marked by the Spring Equinox, begins with you, Aries. This is the time of year when those lingering winter blues are relieved by the early periodic warm spells of spring. The days when we are filled with euphoria and hope as the sun slowly warms the earth again. In tarot, this is represented by the Queen of Wands. She is made up of the combination of fire and water, making her an emotionally passionate yet seductive character. Like Aries is considered the leader of the zodiac chart, the Queen of Wands rules by nurturing those below her through her graciousness and feminine maturity. Both Aries and the Queen of Wands are natural leaders who seek to create the change they wish to see in the world.
Taurus
Your Card: King of Pentacles
Taurus season begins April 20th and ends May 20th. This is the time of Spring when the winter is long behind us and we are filled with strength and energy, and when we see the earth flourish with life. The grass is greener and flowers are starting to bloom. Taurus, in tarot, you are represented by the King of Pentacles, who embodies the combination of the physical realm of earth with the intellectual energy of air. This means that you cherish the fruits of your labor and never take for granted the things you’ve worked for. You are not obsessed with materialism, despite being an earth sign and The King of Pentacles representing earth; instead, you cherish what material items represent symbolically. You are both grounded in what is realistic yet infinitely intellectual. Constantly seeking knowledge. You don’t rub your abilities in other people’s faces, you are humbled by the experiences that have brought you to this point. Your surroundings are merely a reflection of your spiritual groundedness.
Gemini
Your Card: Knight of Swords
Gemini, your time approaches the end of Spring and ushers in the themes of summer. The world is lush and green, and all who feel it are filled with energy and lust for life, especially you. Your sign and season is represented by the Knight of Swords, a combination of the spirituality of fire and the intellectualism of air. With that said, you best represent the stereotypical idea of what a knight is. Fiery, brave, enthusiastic, yet at times deceitful and indecisive. At times you can be hard-headed and stubborn, but this weakness is also your greatest strength. The confidence in what you believe is what pushes you to take risks and seek out new experiences. You cherish the social aspect of this time of year and the opportunity to embrace new characters and grand adventures.
Summer
Cancer
Your Card: Queen of Cups
Cancer, you mark the start of the summer solstice. This time of year represents The Queen of Cups, meaning you are a trifecta of water qualities. In other words, you rule a watery world of connection, love, and emotional energy. As a result, at times you can be almost psychic, absorbing the emotions and energies of those around you. It’s hard for others to hide how they’re feeling when you’re around. In the classical tarot deck illustration, The Queen of Wands is at the beach sitting upon her throne at the edge of the ocean, symbolizing the place where both thoughts and feelings exist at the same time. This is quite fitting considering that you are the first month of summer. As the tide rises, you are drawn closer and closer to the mysteries of the subconscious which is indicated by your ruling planet, The Moon. You are the sign of summer love and youthful innocence. The sign of play and vitality. The Queen of Wands is also thought of as the Queen of Love and this is the time of year when hopeless romantics live out their greatest adventures.
Leo
Your Card: King of Wands
What better sign to represent those hot summer nights better than you, Leo? Those nights where the sweet humidity is palpable and energizing. As represented by your ruling planet, The Sun, as well as being a fire sign yourself, it is no wonder that you are connected to The King of Wands. Just as the sun is the center of the universe, The King of Wands is the center of his kingdom. He is a mix of passionate fire and cerebral air that, when mixed together, combusts into an enigmatic source of energy. He is confident and courageous, yet at times egocentric and dramatic. You love being the center of attention, and just like the King of Wands, you know exactly what to do with that attention. It is during this time in the summer when the days are longer and the possibilities are endless. Like the King of Wands, you are creative, playful, and tend to trust the signs of the universe as long as there is some validity to these synchronicities.
Virgo
Your Card: Knight of Pentacles
Virgo, you are here to close out those hot summer nights and bridge the gap between the seasons. This is the time of year when those spicy summer flings either dissipate or turn into something real. You are represented by the Knight of Pentacles. This knight finishes what he starts and is more attuned to the physical needs and desires of both himself and others. Though he is fiercely independent, he is not selfish. The Knight of Pentacles represents a combination of fire and earth, meaning his mission lies in the passion he feels towards creation. As summer comes to a close, it’s time to start getting serious. You explore new directions and new opportunities in a way that is responsible and conscientious, relying on no one but yourself to get it done. You often rather leave the past in the past and continue moving forward. This means that whatever connections you may have made during the summer often lead to nothing more than that—just a fling.
Fall
Libra
Your Card: Queen of Swords
Libra, as represented by the Queen of Swords, at times you are referred to as the Queen of Sorrows. The Queen of Swords bears a heavy combination of emotional water and intellectual air. Ignorance may be bliss, but you don’t shy away from the truth no matter how painful it is. As it is the start of autumn, you are all too familiar with the idea of comforting sadness and the world begins to decay around you. As your ruling planet, Venus, may indicate, you understand the complex relationship between both pain and pleasure and that nothing in this world is meant to last. Like yourself, the Queen of Swords understands the subtext of life and that the things people often speak don’t reveal their true desires or intentions. You are both rational yet empathetic, can read between the lines like no other, and therefore are good at accurately reading people. While others are mourning the end of summer, you cherish the contemplative nature of autumn as nights become longer and days slowly grow shorter.
Scorpio
Your Card: King of Cups
Scorpio, you are like the empty beach of the off-season—like the stillness of the air, with the bass of a booming sea crashing its waves upon a silent shore. You are not afraid to ask the questions most are afraid to hear the questions too. The King of Cups is a combination of air and water and rules under the surface of the sea, diving into its darkest depths. You are no stranger to contemplating the ebb and flow of life and how it mimics the water upon the shoreline and flows like time. The unpredictable nature of the mind mimics that of the sea, and you are better than most at understanding and predicting its nature. You are naturally wise, as you’ve lived many lives before this one. Air and water naturally go hand in hand. Think of air as our conscious thought and water as the subconscious. At the best times, they go hand in hand peacefully, yet at the worst of times this combination of air and water can stir hurricanes, waves, and stormy conditions.
Sagittarius
Your Card: Knight of Wands
Sagittarius, you represent the Knight of Wands, which is made up of the raw passionate energy of double fire. Combine this energy with air (you are an air sign, after all) and you have a being that cannot be contained. The Knight of Wands is often thought of as a less mature King of Wands. With that said, it’s hard for you at times to control your rage, but you love harder and more intensely than many of the other signs. Your sign closes out Autumn and sits at the cusp of winter. The last of the leaves have almost all fallen and marks a rather spiritual curious point in time. While the other knights may crave emotional conquests or physical conquests, you set out on conquests of the spiritual world, unafraid of trying everything once for the sake of the story. As the winter draws closer, you understand that life in general is limited. With this sense of urgency, you prefer not to waste any time. Once you have your mindset, there is almost no stopping you. You’d rather die doing what you love than live in fear and with the regret of never trying at all.
Winter
Capricorn
Your Card: Queen of Pentacles
Practical, steady, and dependable Capricorn. As the start of the winter, this is a time that represents the acceptance of change and the inevitable passage of time. While others fear the clock, you accept time for what it is. The Queen of Pentacles represents the combination of earth and water. Therefore, you are the most sentimental sign by far. Others may not know this about you. What they also might not know is that you tend to be quite minimalist, valuing things for the memories they hold rather than the price tag that was attached. You collect moments, not things and stuff. You understand that death eventually comes, and as a result, like the Queen of Pentacles, your humor is often incredibly dry and tends to put others off. But you don’t care. You rule a kingdom of limited yet trusted cohorts because this is all you need to get by. You don’t fear death because though you are an old soul, you tend to grow younger and more carefree as you get older.
Aquarius
Your Card: King of Swords
You are an interesting sign, Aquarius. You are often considered unpredictable, unconventional, and not bound by societal norms, yet you represent the sign of air, and air represents intellect. So many would naturally think of you as more rational and based on facts. However, just because you go against the grain and aren’t so easily swayed by what is established doesn’t mean you’re not rational. Combine this with the fact that you are connected to the King of Swords, which is represented by the double combination of air, your intellect is so far up in the stratosphere that oftentimes, people mistake you for crazy. You’re not crazy. You’re just on another level, my friend. You are also connected to The Star tarot card, which means you have an ethereal presence—you possess a certain vantage point others couldn’t understand even if they tried. You see the full picture. You exist in the midst of winter, a time when others see no hope for the future. While others are lost in these cold gusts of wind, you see the hope that lies on the horizon. You understand that this too shall pass and brighter days lie ahead.
Pisces
Your Card: Knight of Cups
As the last sign of the astrological chart, Pisces, you represent a time of reflection and contemplation as many of us start to ponder how far we’ve come since the start of the year, as well as who we will become and where we will go as a new dawn approaches. This is a time of strong commitments and lasting relationships with found family and lovers we met along the way. You are connected to the Knight of Cups, which represents a combination of fire and water—a steamy combination, no doubt. You crave emotional closeness and depth rather than shallow, meaningless interactions. You are a romantic at heart and come off as quite charming and likable. Initially, it’s hard to tie you down because oftentimes you feel unimpressed with the shallow nature of others. You have strong emotional desires and love the idea of love, but not always the reality of love.
