Tarot Archetypes in Everyday Life: Major Arcana Part 5
We’ve arrived at the end of the Major Arcana in my series Tarot Archetypes in Everyday Life. Here we explore The Moon, The Sun, Judgement, and The World. These are archetypes of mystery, clarity, awakening, and completion. From late night anxieties to happy breakthroughs and the satisfaction of full circle moments, these cards remind us what it means to finish the journey and step into wholeness.
Are you ready to explore the minor arcana next week??
18 - The Moon
As the Illusionist
Everyday ways the Moon shows up in your life:
Waking up from a vivid dream and trying to decode if it meant anything
Feeling anxious before doing something & not knowing why
Reading way too much into a vague text
Feeling deeply creative or inspired only after the sun goes down
When your pet stares into the corner of the room like they see something you don’t
19 - The Sun
As the Optimist
Everyday ways the Sun shows up in your life:
Waking up naturally before your alarm and feeling rested for once
When a random baby locks eyes with you and breaks into a smile, making you feel like the chosen one
Getting that first sip of iced coffee on a hot day
Wearing bright or funky clothes and feeling on top of the world
Genuinely laughing at your own joke
That spark of inspiration for a new creative project
20 - Judgment
As the Awakener
Everyday ways Judgment shows up in your life:
Seeing a red flag in someone you’re dating and instantly getting the ick
Having such a powerful tarot reading that you suddenly believe in divination
Deciding you no longer care what people think
Realizing you’ve been playing small, and deciding to put yourself out there
Looking at old photos of yourself and realizing how much you’ve grown
That moment in therapy when something clicks
21 - The World
As the Completer
Everyday ways the World shows up in your life:
Submitting the final draft of a project you’ve worked on for months
Decorating the last corner of your home so it finally feels finished
Finally paying off a debt that’s been hanging over you
Finishing a book that left you deeply satisfied
Finally visiting a bucket list destination and it lived up to your expectations
Having the last day at a job and being excited about starting a new one
