The Planets

The Classical and Modern Planets in Astrology

The 7 Classical planets include the Sun and Moon, as well as all of the visible planets (excluding Earth, which is one of the Four Elements), and have ancient meanings and associations.

The 3 Modern planets (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) have also developed symbolism within Astrology since their discovery.

The planets often interact with zodiac signs and astrological houses, especially during a Horoscope reading. Some of them also share certain aspects with birthstones.

The Planets and Tarot

Many Tarot cards relate to one or more planets, which you can see at the bottom of their card. Each planet is assigned to one of the Major Arcana. If the same planet appears more than once in a spread, that planet’s energy is strongly involved: Try a Reading Now.

Wisdom Through Chance

At Fool’s Key, Tarot’s magic lies in the randomness of the draw. Unexpected combinations of symbols and meanings can illuminate thoughts you didn’t even know were on your mind.

Patterns & Possibilities

Tarot doesn’t predict a fixed future. Instead, it helps you recognize hidden patterns, explore new possibilities, and navigate the path ahead with greater insight.

A Mirror for Your Mind

Each card reflects your inner landscape—thoughts, feelings, ideas just below the surface. Through rich symbolism, Tarot provides clarity and a deeper awareness of yourself.
