Tarot Symbols – Clouds

Clouds have many symbolic meanings. In general, clouds symbolize revelation. Since they come in layers, they symbolize the unveiling of an answer or solution to something that has been bothering a person. On the other hand, they can also symbolize things that can cloud judgment or reasoning. Sometimes they also symbolize a confused state of mind.

Tarot card meanings that have clouds as their symbol are lovers, wheel, tower, judgement, world, ace of spades, 3 of spades, 5 of spades, jack of spades, king of spades, ace of cups, 4 of spades, Cups, 7 of Cups, Ace of Wands, and Ace of Pentacles.

Clouds come in many shapes and forms. Thus, the interpretation of clouds as a symbol can also vary. There are storm clouds or what is scientifically known as cirrus or stratus clouds and fair weather clouds known as cumulus clouds.

The effects of clouds in nature as well as human nature also affect their interpretation in tarot readings. Dark clouds, of course, make people feel scared, negative, pessimistic, threatened, or depressed. These can also mean distress, disaster, or danger. White cloud layers make people feel optimistic, happy, positive, and confident. This may mean new opportunities. Therefore, it depends on the type of clouds found in the tarot card or image.

Clouds are symbols of change or movement as they move across the sky. When people see clouds in a tarot card, they are usually interpreted as a symbol of something fleeting, temporary, or short-lived.
