Tarot Affirmations

Although Tarot is best known as a fortune-telling tool, on a psychological level it can also be used for self-exploration and as a guide helping you to reach your goals, aspirations and fulfil your potential.

Each image depicts an event, a phase in your life or state of being. It contains numerous hidden messages, which can be discovered by immersing yourself into the pictures of the Tarot.

One type of message the Tarot can offer is an affirmation. This is a positive statement, which encourages the practice of positive thinking. An affirmation should not include any negations, e.g. can’t, don’t, won’t, haven’t etc. The sentence is kept as simple but as empowering as possible.

An affirmation can be created for each Tarot card. You can do this yourself by looking at the image and explore its meanings. What is this card advising you to do? What is it trying to teach you?

Please find below sample affirmations for the Major Arcana cards, but bear in mind that the possibilities for each card are virtually endless depending on your feelings, intuition and perspective.

The Fool – I look forward to new beginnings and enjoy the journey ahead.
The Magician – I use my all my resources and willpower to achieve my goals.
The High Priestess – I trust my intuition to make the right decision when the time is right.
The Empress – I love and protect the people in my care. My love will dissolve tension and fears.
