Archangel and Tarot Correspondences

Many Tarot readers associate particular angels with individual cards, but this guide takes a different approach. It combines the traditional planetary rulerships of the archangels with the planetary attributions of the Tarot, allowing you to recognise when your Birthday Angel may be speaking more directly through a reading.

If, for example, you were born on a Monday, Archangel Gabriel is your primary Birthday Angel. Whenever The High Priestess or one of Gabriel’s lunar Minor Arcana cards appears, you may wish to pay closer attention. While every card in a reading deserves careful consideration, those linked with your Birthday Angel can sometimes highlight guidance that is especially personal.

This is just one of the angelic systems I work with on Angelorum. Alongside the seven planetary archangels, I also explore the seventy-two Shem HaMephorash angels, who serve as our primary and secondary guardian angels according to our birth date. Together, these complementary traditions offer different ways of understanding the angelic guidance available to us. If you don’t yet know your Birth Angels, start with my guide to finding them.
