Tell the story of Aphrodite with tarot cards:
Mystic Tarot Reader
Telling the story of Aphrodite through the lens of tarot involves a creative interpretation of the cards, associating her mythos with the symbolism found within the tarot deck. Let’s embark on this narrative journey.
The Empress (III): We begin with The Empress, a card that embodies the essence of fertility, beauty, and love, qualities that are core to Aphrodite. As the goddess of love, she represents the ultimate feminine energy, creativity, and the birth of beauty and desire in the world.
The Lovers (VI): Aphrodite’s influence is clear in The Lovers card, which represents relationships and choices. This card reflects her role in the many love stories and dramas of Greek mythology, including the judgement of Paris, which ultimately led to the Trojan War.
The Chariot (VII): The journey of The Chariot signifies triumph, control, and willpower. For Aphrodite, this could symbolize her victorious emergence from the sea foam and her powerful ability to compel gods and mortals alike with her charm.
Strength (VIII): This card is not about brute force but inner strength and the power of love. Aphrodite’s strength was her ability to tame the most powerful with the gentlest of emotions, showcasing that love can be the most potent force.
The Star (XVII): Aphrodite also corresponds to The Star, a symbol of hope, inspiration, and serenity. She was the guiding light for many, leading them to find love and fulfillment, and her presence was a beacon of inspiration for artists and lovers.
The Tower (XVI): However, her story also contains The Tower moments—sudden upheavals. Her relationships, such as that with Ares, and her involvement in mortal affairs, often led to chaos and destruction, much like the sudden change The Tower represents.
Justice (XI): In some tales, Aphrodite is also a figure of Justice, dealing out rewards and punishments in matters of love, ensuring that even the gods were held accountable for their actions.
The Moon (XVIII): The Moon card, with its illusion and uncertainty, could represent the darker side of love and desire, the complex entanglements and the shadowy aspects of Aphrodite’s influence.
Temperance (XIV): Aphrodite’s story can be a lesson in Temperance, finding balance and harmony in love, and blending opposing forces to create something new, much like her own mixed origins of sea and divine.
The World (XXI): Finally, Aphrodite’s narrative can be culminated in The World, which represents completion, wholeness, and celebration. Her enduring legacy is the universal language of love, connecting all of humanity and celebrating the beauty in all things.
In this tarot narrative, Aphrodite’s story unfolds as a tale of love’s power, its beauty and its perils, and the eternal search for balance and harmony within it.
She is truly amazing and this only grows our friendship. This woman is an amazing friend and I never expected her to act in such a capacity; on my behalf. Thank you
