Ostara Tarot: All 78 Card Meanings Explained

Some tarot decks are made by one artist with one vision. The Ostara Tarot was made by four — and that’s exactly what makes it extraordinary.

Created by Molly Applejohn, Eden Cooke, Krista Gibbard, and Julia Iredale, this deck weaves together four distinct artistic voices into a single, cohesive whole. Each artist brings her own style and sensibility, yet the cards share a common thread: the wild beauty of nature. Birds, foxes, deer, moths, blooming flowers, and swirling cosmos fill every frame. The result feels less like a designed product and more like a living ecosystem.

Named after the pagan celebration of the spring equinox, the Ostara Tarot carries themes of renewal, balance between light and dark, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again. Whether you’re reading about love, career, or personal growth, these cards ground their wisdom in the natural world — reminding you that every season passes and new growth always follows.

How the Deck Is Organized

The Ostara Tarot follows the standard 78-card structure that has been the foundation of tarot for centuries:

• Major Arcana (0–XXI): The 22 cards of life’s big themes — spiritual lessons, turning points, and the archetypal forces that shape who you become. When these show up, pay close attention.
• Wands: The suit of fire. Passion, creativity, ambition, and the spark that gets things moving.
• Cups: The suit of water. Emotions, relationships, intuition, and the inner world of the heart.
• Swords: The suit of air. Thought, truth, conflict, and the sharp clarity that comes from honest examination.
• Pentacles: The suit of earth. Material reality, work, health, and the patient building of something lasting.

Each suit runs from Ace through Ten, followed by four court cards — Page, Knight, Queen, and King — for 14 cards per suit and 56 Minor Arcana total.

Major Arcana

The Fool

The Fool represents unlimited potential and new beginnings, symbolizing the courage to embark on adventures without overthinking consequences.

The Fool teaches that while freedom and carefree attitudes are valuable, we must recognize when consistency and reliability are required instead.

She embodies the unconscious mind and creative potential, urging you to trust your inner voice and seek deeper meaning in dreams and visions. This card calls for quiet contemplation and connection with your innate intuition before taking action. When reversed, she warns against ignoring unconscious needs or acting too hastily without proper reflection.

The Empress

The Empress represents the Mother Earth archetype, embodying femininity, fertility, and creative abundance.

When reversed, she indicates a sense of loss or creative blockage, suggesting the need to turn inward and listen to your heart rather than overthinking.

The Emperor

The Emperor represents positive masculine energy, embodying leadership, stability, and protection rather than control. As a natural leader and successful organizer, he brings periods of stability and security to your life. When reversed, he may indicate abuse of power or failure to create the stability that loved ones need.

The Hierophant

The Hierophant represents adherence to traditions, orthodox beliefs, and established knowledge systems.

The Lovers represent passion, love, partnership, and commitment, symbolizing deep emotional and sexual connections between people.

It calls for emotional courage and authentic leadership, using inner strength to overcome challenges. When reversed, it indicates weakness and loss of self-control, suggesting the need to regain emotional balance and confidence.

The Hermit

The Hermit represents a time for deep self-analysis and inner contemplation. Standing with his lamp atop a mountain, he signals the need to explore your spiritual world and understand your own soul by rising above the surrounding world. This introspective journey leads to true self-understanding, comfort, and satisfaction, potentially revealing new directions as you gain clearer awareness of your goals and needs.

Justice

Justice represents law, truth, and balance, symbolized by Lady Justice weighing scales over a river with her eyes blindfolded to maintain objectivity. The card draws from the Egyptian goddess Maat, who weighed souls against the feather of truth. It reminds us that every action has consequences and that honest decisions lead to fair outcomes. When reversed, it indicates distorted truth, denial of wrongdoing, or the need to balance perspectives and remain objective.

The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man represents a time of surrender and letting go of control. This card encourages trusting the flow of events and having faith in the universe's plan. When reversed, it indicates resistance to necessary decisions and disconnection from inner instincts. The key lesson is learning to embrace uncertainty and trust in one's inner wisdom.

Death

Death represents endings, new beginnings, and transformation rather than literal death. This card encourages letting go of old habits and thought patterns to welcome more fruitful behavioral models. Embracing change leads to unforgettable experiences, while resisting it brings pain. When reversed, it indicates fear of change and resistance that keeps life stagnant and uninspired.

Temperance

Temperance represents the delicate balance that holds everything in the world together, teaching that taking requires giving and light creates shadow. This card rewards thoughtfulness and peacefulness, encouraging deep reflection and careful planning. When reversed, it indicates that some area of life has fallen out of balance and needs attention to restore harmony through redistribution of energy and efforts.

The Devil

The Devil represents the aspects of our lives and personality that keep us in material and mental dependence. This card symbolizes situations where we feel trapped by circumstances or habits, but reminds us that many of our difficulties and limitations are created by our subconscious or result from our own decisions. When reversed, it indicates growing awareness of our captive state and the potential to break free from unhealthy patterns and negative restrictions.

The Tower

The Tower represents sudden upheaval, destruction, and survival through crisis. While it foretells coming destruction and devastation, it also carries hope—your scars will become symbols of resilience.

The Sun

The Sun is an Arcana of strength and great fortune, representing victory, growth, and success.

When reversed, it suggests regression in your progress toward goals, feelings of loneliness or depression, indicating that additional effort is needed to find what brings you joy and allows your garden to bloom.

Judgement

The Judgment card represents decisive moments requiring swift action and clarity of purpose. It signals inevitable changes that will come like thunder from a clear sky, whether through your own choices or life's intervention. This card encourages taking control of your destiny through bold decisions, as stagnation leads nowhere and the veils of confusion will be lifted to reveal your true path.

The World

The World represents the completion of a journey, process, or cycle, emerging from cosmic dust and fiery heat in the void. While symbolizing endings, it also heralds new beginnings.
