When I explore the Tarot through Jung’s lens, each Major Arcana card reveals itself as an archetypal image, a universal symbol that resonates within the collective unconscious. For me, they are not simply pictures; they are living energies that accompany the soul’s journey toward individuation.
The Fool (0): I see the archetype of the Eternal Child, the beginning of all journeys, embodying innocence, potential, and the leap into the unknown.
The Magician (I): Here is the archetype of the Creator, the channel of divine energy, reminding me of the power of will, imagination, and manifestation.
The High Priestess (II): She embodies the archetype of the Wise Woman or Anima, the guardian of mystery, intuition, and inner wisdom.
The Empress (III): In her, I encounter the Great Mother, the source of fertility, abundance, and unconditional nurture.
The Emperor (IV): He is the archetype of the Father, representing structure, authority, order, and the foundations of civilization.
The Hierophant (V): This card reflects the archetype of the Spiritual Guide, the mediator of tradition, sacred knowledge, and collective values.
The Lovers (VI): I perceive the archetype of Union, the tension and harmony between opposites, the call to integrate love, choice, and responsibility.
The Chariot (VII): Here I find the archetype of the Hero, the conquering force of willpower, discipline, and mastery over opposing energies.
Strength (VIII): She reveals the archetype of the Gentle Power, courage born not from domination, but from compassion and inner equilibrium.
The Hermit (IX): The archetype of the Wise Old Man, guiding me toward solitude, introspection, and spiritual illumination.
The Wheel of Fortune (X): This is the archetype of Fate, the eternal cycles of change, destiny, and the dance between chance and order.
Justice (XI): I recognize here the archetype of Balance, the eternal principle of truth, fairness, and karmic accountability.
The Hanged Man (XII): He embodies the archetype of the Sacrifice, the transformative surrender that allows rebirth and deeper vision.
Death (XIII): I encounter the archetype of Transformation, the end that is also a beginning, the alchemy of renewal.
Temperance (XIV): This card manifests the archetype of Integration, harmony between opposites, and the path of inner alchemy.
The Devil (XV): Here is the archetype of the Shadow, the confrontation with desire, fear, and the chains of unconscious compulsion.
The Tower (XVI): I see the archetype of Catastrophe, the necessary collapse of false structures, which clears the way for truth.
The Star (XVII): She radiates the archetype of Hope, the eternal light of inspiration, healing, and spiritual guidance.
The Moon (XVIII): The archetype of the Unconscious, with its illusions, dreams, and the mysterious depths of the psyche.
The Sun (XIX): The archetype of Illumination, joy, clarity, vitality, and the childlike radiance of the awakened soul.
Judgment (XX): This card reflects the archetype of Rebirth, the awakening of higher consciousness, the call of destiny.
The World (XXI): Finally, I arrive at the archetype of Wholeness, the completion of the cycle, the union of opposites, and the fulfillment of individuation.
Through these twenty-two archetypes, I experience not merely the unfolding of symbolic images but the drama of the psyche itself. Each card becomes both a mirror of my personal journey and a window into the universal patterns of existence. For me, Jung’s vision reveals the Tarot as a sacred map of the soul.
