But what about the soft, billowy clouds that frame the card? In this week’s episode of The Tarot Diagnosis , I take a journey into the symbolism of clouds in tarot, exploring how they quietly anchor some of the most profound archetypes in the deck. Far from being just background art, clouds emerge as powerful metaphors for transition, liminality, and the unknown. Together, we’ll explore: Why clouds in tarot represent thresholds between the known and the unknown How their mutability contrasts with the fixed zodiac signs in the Wheel of Fortune What clouds reveal in cards like the Aces, Four of Cups, and Seven of Cups How darker, jagged clouds in the Swords suit mirror mental turbulence and grief The surprising role clouds play in The Lovers, Judgment, The World, and The Tower From “your head is in the clouds” to having “clouded judgment,” our language reflects how deeply clouds connect to the psyche. In tarot, they remind us that nothing is static, that change is always underway, even when we resist it. Clouds offer us valuable lessons. Perhaps the most important being to step into the role of mindful observer and to witness shifts without being consumed by them. If you’ve ever overlooked the clouds in your deck, this episode will help you see them in a whole new way - as mirrors of the human experience, as symbols of impermanence, and as invitations to trust the unfolding process of change. 🔮 Listen now and discover how clouds can shift your perspective on tarot, psychology, and the weather of your own inner world.
