Tarot Spreads Tailored to Your Astrological Season

As the seasons change, so does the energy of the universe, and with it, our own lives. In astrology, each season is associated with specific zodiac signs, and these signs bring their unique qualities and challenges. Tarot spreads can be customized to align with the energy of each astrological season, providing valuable insights and guidance for the months ahead.

Spring is the season of Aries, Taurus, and Gemini. Aries kicks off the season with its fiery energy, inspiring us to take action and start new projects. A tarot spread for spring could focus on setting intentions and seizing opportunities.

I’ve used this guide through three full zodiac cycles, and it’s become my essential rhythm-keeper. During Cancer season, the Summer Blossom Spread revealed stagnant creative energy (“The Bud” card as reversed Eight of Cups) – prompting me to finally launch my pottery studio. By Virgo season, “The Pollinators” card (Three of Pentacles) guided me to collaborate with a local gallery.
The Winter Solstice Spread saved my sanity last Capricorn season. “The Darkness” card (Nine of Swords) mirrored my burnout, while “The Light Within” (The Star) inspired a digital detox retreat. That “Return of the Sun” prediction? A literal relocation to sunnier climates materialized by Pisces season.
What makes it genius:
Seasonal specificity: Fall’s Harvest Spread exposed emotional baggage before Scorpio’s intensity hit
Practical framing: “The Storage” card helps prune obligations quarterly
Tangible metaphors: Visualizing ideas as “seeds” makes intentions actionable
Cyclical awareness: Tracking year-to-year patterns in “Harvest” cards reveals personal growth
No vague horoscopes here – just 28 cards (7 per season) that turn cosmic shifts into grounded guidance. My deck now lives beside my gardening tools: both cultivate what’s ready to bloom.
