10 Powerful Tarot Card Meanings: A Modern Guide (2025)

December 3, 2024

Hey beautiful souls! ✨ I’m so excited to dive deep into something magical with you today! As someone who’s been working with tarot for over a decade, I’ve discovered certain cards that have absolutely transformed my spiritual journey – and I know they’ll light up your path too! Plus, there’s this amazing angel number message that keeps showing up everywhere lately that I’m dying to share with you. So grab your favorite crystal (I’m holding my rose quartz right now!), maybe your coziest cup of tea, and let’s explore these game-changing cards together!

You know those moments when life feels like you’re trying to read a map in the dark? Yeah, we’ve all been there! That’s exactly why these particular cards are so special. They’re like having your own personal spiritual GPS, always guiding you back to your highest path. I actually discovered the true power of these specific cards during my own spiritual awakening (hello 3 AM existential questions!), and now I’m thrilled to share them with my soul family – that’s you! 💫


1. The Empress – Your Inner Queen

OMG, when this queen shows up, it’s like getting a cosmic permission slip to live your best life! She’s basically saying “Hey gorgeous, time to treat yourself like the royalty you are!”

My Story: So last month I was in this total funk – you know, living in sweats, skipping self-care, basically forgetting my crown was even there. Then BAM – pulled The Empress! Started doing my “Queen Morning Routine” and everything changed. Not just like, small changes – we’re talking MAJOR transformation!

First week: Started with face masks and proper breakfast (no more granola bars in bed!)
Second week: Cleaned up my space, added fresh flowers everywhere
Third week: Three new clients literally slid into my DMs
Fourth week: Found myself giving business advice to others (what?!)

Quick Empress Tricks:

  • Take luxurious bubble baths (add rose petals if you’re feeling extra!)
  • Wear your prettiest outfit (yes, even for Netflix days!)
  • Make your space beautiful (fairy lights change EVERYTHING)
  • Eat foods that make you feel amazing
  • Dance to your fave songs (bedroom dance party anyone?)
  • Give yourself the biggest morning hug
  • Say “I’m worthy” 3 times daily (mirror work is magic!)

Advanced Empress Magic:

  • Create a beauty altar in your room
  • Start a “Things I Love About Me” journal
  • Host self-care circles with your besties
  • Plan monthly abundance rituals
  • Charge your crystals under the full moon
  • Practice receiving compliments with grace
  • Treat yourself to fresh flowers weekly

Pro Tips I’ve Learned:

  1. The Empress loves nature – even a tiny plant on your desk counts!
  2. She’s all about sensual pleasures – invest in soft blankets and yummy scents
  3. Self-worth is her love language – stop apologizing for taking up space
  4. Creativity flows when you feel abundant – decorate your creative space
  5. She rewards self-care consistency – stick to your queen routine!

Real Talk Moment: Sometimes being an Empress means saying NO to things that drain you. Last week, I turned down a “great opportunity” because my gut said it wasn’t aligned. Guess what? An even better offer came two days later! The Empress always knows best!

2. The Magician – Your Manifesting Bestie

Y’all, this is like having a spiritual power bank in your pocket! When the Magician pops up, it’s universe saying “You’ve got EVERYTHING you need to make it happen!”

Personal Tea: Last year I was so scared to start my spiritual business. Like, shaking-in-my-boots scared! Pulled the Magician three days straight (universe was literally yelling at me!). Started with just one Instagram post – now I’m coaching soul sisters worldwide!

Weekly Magician Journey:
Week 1: Set up my sacred workspace (literally just my bedroom corner!)
Week 2: Started morning ritual practice
Week 3: Posted first offerings online
Week 4: Signed my first three clients!

Basic Magic Moves:

  • Write down those big dreams
  • Light a white candle (battery ones work too!)
  • Point up, then to your heart (connects heaven & earth!)
  • Speak wishes out loud (even in whispers)
  • Take tiny actions daily
  • Keep a manifestation diary
  • Morning mirror pep-talks

Level-Up Magician Practices:

  • Create a wand from a special stick
  • Set up a tiny altar space
  • Charge crystals with intentions
  • Use all four elements in rituals
  • Practice energy cleansing
  • Learn basic sigil making
  • Daily element meditation

Insider Magician Secrets:

  1. Confidence comes AFTER action
  2. Small steps create big magic
  3. Tools help but aren’t necessary
  4. Your words hold power
  5. Consistency beats perfection

Real Talk: Sometimes magic looks like sending that scary email or making that phone call. Last week I almost chickened out of a speaking gig – pushed through, and met my next business partner there!

3. The High Priestess – Your Inner Mystic Queen

Let’s talk about this mystical queen! When she shows up, it’s literally like getting the universe’s phone number in your DMs!

So let me spill this crazy tea – my BFF (who used to roll her eyes SO HARD at anything spiritual) had the wildest experience last summer. She kept seeing 11:11 everywhere, like EVERYWHERE! On receipts, phone notifications, random billboards – you name it! Plus she had this super weird feeling about her sister that just wouldn’t go away. We were at brunch and she was like “I know I sound totally crazy but…” and I was like “girl, that’s your intuition screaming!”

For three whole weeks she’d literally wake up at 3:33 AM with her heart going crazy. Everyone was telling her she was being extra (you know how people are 🙄), but that feeling was like a clingy ex – it just wouldn’t quit! Then one night – exactly at 11:11 (I can’t make this stuff up!) – she finally called her sister. Y’all… her sister was literally sitting in her car having the biggest breakdown ever over this massive secret she’d been keeping. They ended up talking ALL night, crying, healing, spilling all the tea from like, years of stuff they never talked about!

Now they do these adorable weekly sister check-ins, and my bestie? She’s gone full psychic queen on us! She’s always like “Listen to your gut, sis!” and honestly? We love this journey for her!

4. The Chariot – Your Success Express! 🏃‍♀️

When this card pulls up, it’s like getting a VIP ticket to your dreams! The universe is literally honking its horn like “Get in loser, we’re going manifesting!”

Let me tell you about this WILD energy – so my running buddy (total gym newbie, btw) pulls The Chariot right before his first marathon. And I’m talking zero perfect training, weather app showing straight-up storm emojis, everything was giving “maybe not” vibes. But this card was like “Honey, we’re MOVING!”

Race day comes and OMG – it’s serving full-on disaster movie realness! Rain? Check. Wind? Fierce. But my buddy keeps hearing this card’s energy in his head like a Taylor Swift song on repeat. Y’all… not only did he FINISH (in that mess!), but he qualified for his dream race! Now he won’t even tie his running shoes without pulling this card first! Like, the POWER!

  6. Your vibe attracts your tribe
  7. Success leaves clues (so be a detective!)

5. The Star – Your Wish Upon A Star Moment ⭐

The Star is like having the universe’s direct hotline for manifesting! It’s giving cosmic fairy godmother vibes!

Let me tell you about this MAGIC – my cousin was about to give up on her dream apartment hunt (NYC market, need I say more?). One night, she’s crying on my couch, pulls The Star, and we decide to do this wild manifestation ritual. We’re talking candles, crystals, the whole Pinterest board come to life! Two days later? Her dream apartment’s previous applicant drops out, and she gets it FOR LESS than the listed price! The realtor literally said “It’s like it was meant for you!” HELLO, STAR POWER!

6. The Sun – Your Glow-Up Central ☀️

Bestiesss, when The Sun pops up, it’s like the universe hitting you with a ring light! Pure golden hour energy 24/7!

So last week my bestie was going through it – we’re talking full mercury retrograde chaos. Job stress, ex drama, even her plant collection was giving up! Then during our weekly tarot and face mask sesh, she pulls The Sun. Right at that moment, her entire apartment lights up with this CRAZY sunset glow. Y’all… we both got chills! Next day? She gets a random call about her dream job, her succulents start thriving, and she’s literally glowing! Sometimes the universe just needs to remind you that you’re literally made of stardust!

7. The World – Your Main Character Moment 🌎

When The World spins into your reading, it’s literally your “And that’s how I became THAT girl” moment! It’s giving graduation vibes, but make it spiritual!

So picture this – I’m scrolling through my camera roll last night (as one does at 2AM), and found this pic from exactly one year ago. Y’all… I was struggling to finish my yoga teacher training, drowning in imposter syndrome, couldn’t even touch my toes! Then during our final ceremony, pulled The World card and GIRL – something just clicked!

Fast forward through one whole year of saying “yes” to scary things, falling on my face in crow pose (literally), and teaching my first class with my voice shaking like a chihuahua… Now? Running my own studio, collabing with my fave brands, and helping other nervous newbies find their flow! Sometimes you gotta complete one chapter to realize you were the main character all along!

And here’s the gag – sometimes reaching your goals feels less like a Taylor Swift music video and more like a blooper reel, but that’s what makes it YOURS! Your messy, beautiful, perfectly imperfect journey to becoming who you were meant to be!

8. The Lovers – Your Ultimate Vibe Match 💖

This card isn’t just about romance – it’s serving CHOICE energy! When The Lovers slide into your reading, they’re basically asking “What’s your heart saying, boo?”

Let me spill this juicy story – so last summer, I’m at this total crossroads moment. Dream job offer in NYC (hello, main character energy!) BUT it meant leaving my whole support squad and comfort zone behind. Everyone’s giving their opinions like it’s a Twitter thread, and I’m drowning in pro-con lists.

Then boom – pull The Lovers card during my morning coffee reading. And girl… it hit different! Wasn’t about what looked good on paper or what everyone else thought. It was about what felt aligned with my soul’s playlist. Plot twist – turned down that “perfect” job, started my own business instead, and NOW? Living my best life on my own terms! Sometimes the best choice is the one that makes your heart do that little happy dance!

Your choices shape your vibe

Love yourself first, bestie

Truth feels like freedom

9. The Hermit – Your Self-Care Sabbatical 🕯️

Besties, when The Hermit shows up, it’s literally the universe saying “Girl, take a spiritual spa day!”

True story – during peak pandemic chaos, I was burning out from constant Zoom calls and digital everything. Pulled The Hermit and took it as a sign to do a full social media detox. Turned off ALL notifications, bought cute journals instead of scrolling, started taking long walks alone. The plot twist? Those two weeks of “me time” led to the biggest clarity breakthrough ever! Sometimes you gotta pull a Taylor Swift and go offline to find your next era!

10. The Hierophant – Your Spiritual Teacher Bestie 👑

Girlies, when this wise king shows up, it’s like getting a direct line to the universe’s wisdom hotline! Think of him as your spiritual professor, but make it fabulous!

So here’s the tea – my first tarot certification class was giving MAJOR imposter syndrome vibes. Everyone’s pulling out these gorgeous vintage decks, speaking pure tarot poetry, and I’m sitting there with my starter deck from Amazon like… hello? Wrong classroom?

That morning I pulled The Hierophant and was literally about to cancel, but he was serving “trust your unique magic” realness. During practice readings, instead of trying to copy everyone’s fancy interpretations, I just went full authentic mode – using pop culture references, spilling personal tea, keeping it REAL real.

Y’all… the PLOT TWIST! The whole class was LIVING for my “tarot for the TikTok generation” style! Even my teacher was like “THIS is what modern spirituality needs!” Now I’m teaching my own classes, and guess what? Being basic and relatable is my superpower! Sometimes the best teaching comes from just being your messy, authentic self!

Sacred Study Vibes ✨:

  • Find your spiritual aesthetic

  • Develop signature style
  • Connect with other teachers

The Real Teaching Tea ☕:

  1. Your mess is your message (period!)
  2. Perfect teachers are boring anyway
  3. Authenticity beats tradition
  4. Your voice matters (yes, YOURS!)
  5. Everyone’s a beginner sometimes
  6. Teaching is just sharing your journey
  7. Your style is your superpower

Truth bombs from a recovering perfectionist: Sometimes the most powerful teaching moments happen when you’re just being your authentic self! Like, your quirks? They’re not bugs, they’re features!

And here’s the biggest plot twist – you don’t need to be “fully cooked” to start sharing your wisdom! If you can explain something to your bestie over coffee, you can teach it! Period!


Making It Your Own

Here’s the thing, beautiful soul – spirituality isn’t one-size-fits-all! Maybe you prefer pulling cards while binge-watching your favorite show (totally valid!), or maybe your idea of meditation is coloring with crystals nearby. That’s perfectly okay!

Real Talk Tips:

  • Start small and build up
  • Mix and match what works for you
  • Trust your intuition ALWAYS
  • Keep what resonates, leave what doesn’t
  • Make it fun – spirituality should feel good!
