The Significator Represents You
During my professional tarot reading career, I admit, I’ve rarely used significators. However, I’m beginning to get more interested in the topic of significators and their personalities. What is a significator? In essence, it’s a card that represents the seeker, the querent, the subject of the reading. You.
I’ve discovered by using them, my readings provide another level of information. In particular, I look at the connection between the significator and each card in the reading.
In this post, I am exploring the general idea of tarot significators and how they relate to personality via the signs of the zodiac. Before I get to that, I’m laying out the basic associations between the zodiac signs, tarot suits, court cards and elements. If you just want to select a significator, you can skip the next section. However, if you are a beginner tarot reader, it really is worthwhile learning these as they will help you enormously in your readings.
