Divine Guidance Tarot Cards
Tarot cards representing divine guidance, spiritual direction, and connection to higher powers.
✨ What These Cards Mean
Divine guidance cards represent connection to something greater than the individual self—whether called God, Universe, Higher Self, or Spirit. The Hierophant (V) bridges heaven and earth, transmitting spiritual teaching and tradition from the divine to the human realm. The Star is inspiration itself—the guiding light that appears after darkness to show the way forward. The Ace of Swords is clarity, the sword of truth that cuts through confusion with divine precision. These cards appear when guidance is available and seeking you as much as you seek it. Warning signs include false prophets or mistaking ego for divine voice. The spiritual lesson is connection—opening to receive guidance while discerning its source.
