Zodiac Tarot Card Correspondence Table: How to Look Up and Use Your Sign's Card
If you want to find the tarot card paired with a specific zodiac sign, you can use a direct symbolic lookup table. This guide presents a correspondence chart that links the twelve signs of the zodiac to twelve Major Arcana tarot cards.
The table below presents the twelve sign-and-card pairings published by Tina Gong in Labyrinthos. This list reflects that publisher's interpretive convention rather than a universal rule or a scientifically established link.
Zodiac to Major Arcana Lookup Table
| Zodiac Sign | Linked Major Arcana Card |

| Aries | The Emperor |
| Taurus | The Hierophant |
| Gemini | The Lovers |
| Cancer | The Chariot |
| Leo | Strength |
| Virgo | The Hermit |
| Libra | Justice |
| Scorpio | Death |
| Sagittarius | Temperance |
| Capricorn | The Devil |
| Aquarius | The Star |
| Pisces | The Moon |
What This Correspondence Table Can and Cannot Do
A correspondence table is a symbolic index. Because tarot is an interpretive practice, pairing a zodiac sign with a card gives you a starting point for personal reflection or a focused journaling prompt. Instead of pulling a random card, you can deliberately select the card associated with a sign you want to explore.
At the same time, it helps to keep the limits of a symbolic lookup in mind. Finding a card next to a sign in a chart does not establish facts about a person's character, compatibility, or hidden thoughts. A sign-card pairing cannot diagnose your habits, prove that you possess a specific trait, or predict future events, medical outcomes, or financial results. Rather than treating the paired card as a fixed label or a horoscope forecast, you can treat it as a voluntary lens for examining your own questions.
How a Zodiac Lookup Differs from a Birth Card
A zodiac sign lookup and a tarot birth-card calculation both connect personal timing or identity with the Major Arcana, but they are two distinct methods.
Using the table above is a simple lookup: you find a zodiac sign in the left column and read the single card paired with it in the right column. By contrast, a tarot birth-card calculation is a separate method calculated from a birth date rather than looked up by zodiac sign. Because the underlying methods are different, the card you find in a zodiac correspondence table may not match the result of a date-based birth-card calculation. Neither method overrides the other; they simply offer different ways to choose a card for study.
How to Use Your Sign's Card for Reflection
To turn a table lookup into a structured journaling session without treating the card as a factual diagnosis, you can follow a straightforward four-step exercise:
- Select a sign and its paired card: Choose any zodiac sign from the table above—whether it is a sign you identify with or one you simply want to study—and follow the link to its dedicated card page.
- Read the card page: Review the material on that page to see how the card is traditionally discussed.
- Pick one image detail or theme: Rather than trying to apply every possible interpretation at once, choose a single visual detail or theme mentioned on that card page that catches your attention today.
- Write one reflection question: Frame a single question around that chosen theme that you can answer by looking at your current choices, priorities, or routines.
As an illustrative example of how this works in practice, suppose a reader selects a sign from the table, opens the linked card page, and picks one central theme discussed on that page. Instead of assuming the zodiac pairing proves something permanent about their personality, the reader treats that theme as a tentative hypothesis for journaling. They might write down a question asking where that specific theme shows up in a decision they are making this week, and optionally note one everyday action they can observe over the next few days. Framing the prompt around present choices keeps the exercise grounded in self-reflection rather than prediction.
