Easter is traditionally thought of as a Christian holiday, however there are also some Pagan traditions that have been associated with the holiday, particularly in relation to the Spring Equinox and the renewal of life.
One of these traditions is the celebration of the goddess Eostre or Ostara, the pagan goddess of spring and fertility who is often associated with new beginnings and the arrival of spring. The holiday of Easter probably derived its name from this goddess, as the Old English word for the holiday was “Eostre.”
Eostre is associated with the Major Arcana Tarot card “The Empress.” This card represents fertility, feminine power, creativity, abundance and nurturing, all of which are qualities ascribed to Eostre.
In some interpretations of The Empress card, the figure is depicted surrounded by flowers, birds, and other symbols of new life and growth, which further connect her to the themes of spring and fertility – and she often looks pregnant. This card can be seen as a representation of the divine feminine energy that is present in all things, and which is often associated with the earth, nature, and the cycle of life and death.
The Empress card I’ve shared here is from the beautiful Salvador Dali deck – isn’t she a gorgeous, mystical woman?!
We don’t have a great deal of historical information about Eostre, and much of what we know comes from folklore and mythology rather than documented fact. However, the idea of a goddess associated with spring and renewal has persisted in many cultures, and can still be seen in modern celebrations of Easter and other springtime holidays.

Just before my holiday I was invited to read Tarot at the Holi festival in Romford, at an amazing event organised by the East London and Essex Business Group. It was fantastic!!!! Full of colour, fun, excitement and loads of delicious food stalls, it was exactly the kind of day I love to take part in.
Holi is a Hindu spring festival, also known as the “festival of colours” or the “festival of love.” It is celebrated on the full moon day in the Hindu month of Phalguna (February/March) and signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, and the end of winter.
As you know, Tarot is a form of divination that uses a deck of cards to gain insight and understanding into a person’s past, present, and future. Each card in the Tarot deck has a specific meaning and can be interpreted differently depending on its placement and the surrounding cards.
While there is no direct connection between the Holi festival and Tarot, it is possible to draw parallels between the two. Both celebrate the cyclical nature of life and the continual process of renewal and transformation. The colours used in Holi represent different emotions and moods, and similarly, each card in the Tarot has its own unique symbolism and meaning.
Additionally, both Holi and Tarot offer a means of connecting with one’s inner self and exploring the deeper aspects of one’s consciousness. They encourage us to embrace our authentic selves, let go of the past, and move forward with positivity and optimism.
Ultimately, whether you celebrate Holi, explore Tarot or both, each offers a unique opportunity to connect with yourself and the world around you in a meaningful and transformative way.

Tarot cards can be interpreted in varying ways depending on the spread, timing and circumstances, and different cards may resonate more strongly with different individuals or situations. However, here are some Tarot cards that are more relevant than others for this special day:
The Empress: This card represents motherhood, nurturing, and abundance. It can symbolize a mother’s love, care, and support, and the many roles she plays in her children’s lives.
The High Priestess: This card represents intuition, wisdom, and spirituality. It can symbolize the deep connection between a mother and child, and the insights and guidance a mother may offer her children.

Comments Off on Which Tarot cards are the most relevant for Mother’s Day?
People often ask me about their career path, which is interesting for me as I worked as a recruitment consultant in London for five years before changing my own career!
Tarot can certainly be a useful tool for gaining insights and guidance on different aspects of life, including career choices. Tarot cards can offer a fresh perspective and provide valuable insights that can help you make more informed decisions. However, it’s important to note that Tarot should not be the only factor in making any important decisions about your career.
Here are a few tips on how a Tarot reading can help with your career choices:
- Set a clear intention: Before you start your Tarot reading, it’s important to set a clear intention for what you want to gain from it. Ask specific questions about your career path, such as “What is my true calling?” or “What steps can I take to find a fulfilling career?”
- Choose the right spread: There are many different Tarot spreads that can be used for career readings, such as the “Career Path Spread” or the “Job Interview Spread.” Choose a spread that resonates with you and addresses the specific questions you have about your career.
- Interpret the cards: Each tarot card has its own unique meaning and symbolism. Take some time to interpret the cards that come up in your reading and think about how they relate to your career goals and aspirations.
- Take action: Tarot can provide valuable insights and guidance, but ultimately it’s up to you to take action and make the necessary changes to achieve your career goals.
Remember that Tarot is just one tool among many that can be used to gain insights and guidance on your career path. It’s important to also seek advice from career counsellors, mentors, and other trusted sources when making important decisions about your career.
