Tarot Archetypes in Everyday Life: Part 1

Tarot can act as a mirror for everyday moments that shape who we are.

Each Major Arcana archetype represents a universal energy, but those energies don’t just appear during life’s big milestones. They show up in the quiet, ordinary choices we make every single day. Like when we stick to our routines, choose kindness over frustration, or push ourselves to finish something hard.

In this series, Tarot Archetypes in Everyday Life, I’ll be walking through the Major Arcana one by one, showing you how each archetype might appear in your daily habits, decisions, and experiences.

My hope is that you’ll begin to notice these archetypes around you and within you, making the cards feel more alive and personal.
