Intuition Tarot Cards
Tarot cards representing intuition, inner knowing, and psychic awareness.
✨ What These Cards Mean
Intuition in tarot is the gut knowing that transcends rational thought—the voice of the soul speaking through feeling, dreams, and sudden knowing. The High Priestess (II) is the guardian of intuitive wisdom, sitting between conscious and unconscious, holding secrets that can only be known, not explained. The Moon represents instinct, the primal knowing that navigates darkness when logic cannot help. The Queen of Cups embodies empathy and emotional intuition—feeling what others feel and knowing through the heart. These cards remind us that intuition is a valid source of guidance, often more accurate than analysis alone. Warning signs include ignoring red flags or confusing fear with intuition. The spiritual lesson is trust—learning to hear and follow the inner voice.
