Tarot and sexuality

(@hellan)

Hi everyone! I've been thinking lately about how tarot can affect our perceptions of sexuality and relationships. Over the years of working with cards, I've noticed that people often turn to tarot not only with questions about the future, but also to better understand themselves. Any of you had similar thoughts or experiences?

I don't have a lot of experience with cards, but I've always thought of cards as something mystical, almost magical, and not necessarily as a tool for self-discovery. When I started my adventure with tarot, I was afraid it would show me something I didn't want to know.

It's interesting how different cards can emphasize different aspects of sexuality. For example, the Devil often refers to sex that is more licentious and full of perversion, while the Strength card speaks of a more passionate and affectionate act.

@bryza For me, the Devil is the embodiment of wild, unbridled sexual energy, and the Force is more about sensuality and awareness of one's body?

I have a question, what do you think about Lovers? Does this card always have to mean a choice between two partners?

@czulu I think Lovers is primarily a card about relationships, about building bonds. Sex is important here, but not as a pure physical act, but as part of a deeper connection.

@arkania Exactly. Lovers is not just a card about romance. It's a symbol of harmony, balance between two forces - female and male. In the context of sexuality, it can mean the combination of passion and spirituality.

And I recently pulled the Nine of Cups in a question about my erotic life. It bothered me a bit because I associate it with exaggeration and hedonism.

@nastie The Nine of Cups is a card of fulfillment, but also a trap. It can indicate a tendency to addictions, including to pleasure. So it's worth keeping moderation and remembering to balance.

And what do you say about the Death card? Does it necessarily mean the end of a relationship?

@argos Death is a card of transformation. In the context of a relationship, it can mean a breakthrough, a transition to a new stage. It can be both the end of something old and the beginning of something new.

And are there cards that indicate problems in the sexual sphere?

@leonora The Two of Clubs can symbolize impotence, a blockage of sexual energy. The Five of Swords is a card of conflict, aggression, which can also carry over into sexuality.

What about the cards that say betrayal?

@oliczka The Seven of Swords is a classic card of betrayal, lying, hiding something. The Knight of Swords can also indicate infidelity, especially if it appears in a reversed position.

I honestly didn't know that tarot could be so helpful in analyzing sex life.

Or can you recommend any deck that is particularly good for analyzing relationships and sexuality?

@anima   "Tarot of Lovers" is quite interesting, focusing on various aspects of love and eroticism. "Mythic Tarot" can also be a good choice, it contains many archetypes related to sexuality.

I, for one, am curious how to interpret the court cards in the context of sexuality. Do you have any associations?

@vinta Court cards can represent different types of partners or our own attitudes in a relationship. For example, to me, the Queen of Cups is the epitome of sensuality and tenderness, and the Knight of Cups symbolizes passion and sexual energy.

@lady Exactly. It is worth paying attention to what element a particular court card represents. Cups represent emotions and intuition, Rolls represent action and energy, Swords are intellect and communication, and Coins are the material world and stability.

And what do reversed court cards mean? Do they always mean something negative?

@riksza Nie koniecznie. Odwrócona karta dworska może wskazywać na tłumione emocje, niewykorzystany potencjał lub brak równowagi w danym obszarze.
