What are the lucky Tarot cards in the deck? This article selects the cards to look out for in a tarot card reading as the best omens of good fortune.
Tarot cards can be a great way to not only glimpse the future but also focus on it and, through the power of positive thinking, attract good things into your life. Every tarot reading begins with a question that the seeker can actively ask for guidance or even help to bring good luck their way. It cannot be said definitively that a particular card is always lucky or, in fact, that another card is a sign of bad luck because the meaning of each card depends on the context and its relationship to other cards in the reading. However, there are some cards in the tarot deck that are so strong in energy and so auspicious that they are invariably a sign of good fortune or another in the questioner’s path. The following is a list of cards that you really want to appear in a tarot card reading:
Sun
This is really a great card to receive. It speaks of harmony and happiness, healthy relationships, and a feeling of oneness. The Sun has always been a metaphor for truth. When we say that we can ‘see the light’, we mean that we can see the truth in a situation. When we speak of ‘enlightening’ we mean achieving a level of understanding. As the supreme source of light, the Sun is therefore a powerful symbol of knowledge and understanding. Ignorance may be bliss, but knowledge is power. Only when we truly understand a situation do we have the power to transform it and get what we want. The Sun is also associated with greatness and success, so when this card appears it is a positive reminder that we too can be ‘bright’ and truly ‘shine’.
ace of coins
The ace of coins represents a doorway to a new and more prosperous way of being. It speaks of stability and constancy and of achieving visible results. It is not a card of fanciful dreams or fanciful ideas, but it is a great card for when you find yourself in a situation where you need more solidity, stability and concrete changes in your life.
Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune is one of the few traditional tarot cards that does not include a human figure. This is appropriate because it deals with those things that are beyond human control. Depending on one’s beliefs, this could be seen as the Power of God, the Law of Karma, or simply fate. This card serves as a reminder that although many of us would like to believe that we are in complete control of our lives, there are forces acting on us that are beyond our influence and understanding. When this card appears, it can be a powerful sign that things are starting to turn in our favor. The concept of the wheel is revealing because it suggests that there are underlying cycles and patterns to these forces that influence us.
Six of Wands
The Six of Wands represents victory and success. It is the card of the athlete who trains, sacrifices, sweats and finally wins. We all need big and small triumphs in our lives and the Six of Wands appears when these successes are just around the corner. This card can also represent feeling good about ourselves and our achievements.
War Machine
Imagine a chariot charging into battle driven by a team of packhorses. It must have been an impressive sight. This is the image that the card evokes: a powerful one-man combat unit ready to fight and conquer the world. The Chariot represents this spirit and the determination to succeed in all the battles we face in life. There are times when it is right to go with the flow and there are times when compromise is the best approach; but when this card appears it is a reminder that fortune favors the brave and as long as you act with confidence, you will be blessed with success. However, it is important to remember that many of our conflicts are internal, so this card should not be taken as a license to go out and fight with the world.
three of cups
The Three of Cups is the card of boundless joy, love and celebration. In cultures that espouse the philosophy that we live to work, it can be hard to take seriously our deep need as human beings to bond with one another and celebrate our togetherness. After all, what’s the point? What does it accomplish? But the celebration is an end in itself. We might as well ask (but rarely do) ‘What’s the point of living to work? Where is the joy in that? but also ‘What greater joy and security is there to know that one is loved and capable of love?’
The world
The World simply represents fullness and completeness. Having the world at your fingertips means having everything one could wish for and therefore being autonomous and satisfied. However, in reality, satisfaction is not so much what we have as how we feel. A monk or hermit may be satisfied with only his begging bowl and a cave to sleep in, while a wealthy man may find little peace no matter how much of the world he owns. The card represents the promise of wholeness and inner fulfillment. These feelings can come to all of us from time to time and the card reminds us to make the most of them when they do.
