Each Tarot card represents a precise time frame.
As almost the entire architecture of the deck and its DNA is astrology-based or related.
The numerals, numbered from two to ten and usually noted by Arabic numbers, also known as pips, represent ten degrees of the zodiac, which is roughly equivalent to ten days, and each corresponds to approximately forty minutes.
The rest of the cards, except for the Aces, represent thirty degrees, roughly thirty days, respectively, one hundred twenty minutes.
The Aces represent the two equinoxes and solstices, yet strictly the split seconds they occur. They are the spark that lights the fuse of things to come.
The commonly used astrological attributes of the numerals are known as the Golden Dawn system. It originates from Jean-Baptiste Pitois’ “Histoire de la magie,” the History of Magic, published in 1870, and is also linked to the Picatrix, an Arabic book of magic and astrology written in the middle of the eleventh century.
The attribution of the thirty-six numerals to the thirty-six decans of the zodiac is generally accepted, although the actual astrological attributes of the card remain widely debated. The Golden Dawn method might be the most popular, but it is not by far the only one.
The astrological assignment of the Court Cards and Major Arcana cards is even less straightforward.
While the Golden Dawn has once again become a classic standard, its accuracy is highly debatable. However, it is not the time and place to delve into these matters.
Let’s focus on the facts.
