Tarot cards are not part of astrology. Both Tarot and astrology use symbols.
Tarot Cards and Their Symbolism
The tarot deck has four suits, with each suit corresponding to one of the elements: earth, air, fire, and water. These elements are associated with zodiac signs. Tarot cards provide insights and cover various astrological themes, which helps in understanding astrological energies.
Court cards represent personalities that associate with modalities, which are groups of astrological signs. Each tarot card also represents an archetype, similar to how zodiac signs represent personality types.
