When you're choosing a tarot deck, there are so many options that it can be overwhelming! One suggestion: Let your zodiac sign guide you.
Why? Every zodiac sign will deal with different struggles, and every zodiac sign will resolve them differently. Each sign will also feel more drawn to specific art styles and themes. Picking a tarot deck that you feel ~a connection with~ is the most important thing. Believe me, these cards will bond better with you. Don't feel like the deck paired with your sign reflects ~you~, or just want more than one? Check your Moon sign and Rising sign as well!
No matter your zodiac sign, I recommend you pull your tarot cards during the New Moon and the Full Moon. These are the most potent times of the month, and they provide an opportunity to reflect on your wants, progress, and future. But twice is very much a minimum—pull your cards whenever you're looking for guidance, or even daily!
If you're new to reading tarot cards, or even if you're a pro, I've provided a simple, three-card tarot spread for each zodiac sign. Here's how to do it: Shuffle the tarot deck until you feel ready, then pull three tarot cards (or just keep shuffling until they fall out). I wrote three guiding questions for each zodiac sign—the first card answers the first question, the second card answers the second question, and so on. You can look up the traditional interpretation of each tarot card, simply reflect on what your intuition tells you, or both. There are no wrong answers here!
This deck speaks to Aries' fiery personality and their need to be involved in drama! This fire sign is also very resilient and able to overcome hardships—something I associate with Disney villains (the most interesting Disney characters, IMO!). While we may not always love them, villains can teach us powerful lessons and show us how to get tougher. Sometimes called "the baby of the zodiac," Aries of all ages are drawn to fun, storytelling decks like these.

Card One: How can I be more responsible?

Card Three: How can I navigate relationships patiently?
Taurus is driven by both their heart and their head: They tend to make very informed decisions, but their care for their loved ones always come first. These earth signs are trendy, family-oriented, protective, and tend to be successful. This deck's authoritative tone can help guide Taurus when making hard choices. Plus, most of the figures in this deck are valiant leaders and motherly figures—basically, they could all be Tauruses.

Card One: What surprise is coming next?
Card Two: What events in the past do I need to heal from?

This deck is perfect for Gemini because of its strong link to astrology. All Geminis have an innate capacity to understand the cosmos, because they are very intelligent, persistent, and inquisitive—they're lifelong learners! This deck can help them learn two practices: Tarot and astrology. It's not straightforward stuff, but Gemini likes a challenge!

Cancers are elegant. They're drawn to both old things and nature—so this tarot deck's aesthetic is a natural fit. The cards are also a little unusual, helping Cancer break free from traditional thinking and embrace their empathetic skills.

Virgos are naturally analytical and detail-oriented, so they often want to dive deep into studying the tarot—they want to memorize the meanings of the cards and learn how to use them diligently. The Cosmo Tarot features metallic colors and gemstones, appealing to Virgo's regal tastes, and they feature easy-to-understand, straightforward imagery—perfect for Virgos who might prefer the practical to the mystical.

Libra's ruling planet is Venus, the planet of love, so naturally I chose the Star Spinner Tarot for this sign. This tarot deck includes everything that Libras love: Animals, nature, fierceness, tasteful nudes, and dynamic imagery! These cards help Libras get in touch with their creativity, passion for life, and inspiration, especially in dark times. Libra has a reputation for being a social butterfly or the life of the party, and they can easily whip this deck out and it will be a hit with everyone!
A TAROT SPREAD FOR LIBRA
Card One: How can I protect my heart and be aware of others' intentions?
Card Two: Where am I going in life?

Undoubtedly, Scorpio is one of the most misunderstood signs. They're often labeled as dark, mysterious, or sensual. But don't get me wrong—Scorpios also have a deep love for humanity. They're thoughtful, reflective, and natural seekers of truth and equality! The Next World Tarot deck is known for its images of social justice, and is also fierce, elegant, and fantastic—all of which speaks to Scorpio.

Card One: How can I open up my heart to others?
Card Two: What should I do as a daily mindfulness practice?

Sagittarius is known for laid-back vibes, fun times, and adventure, but they also have vivid imaginations and deep thoughts! The Mystic Mondays deck caters to their imaginative mind, but also helps keep them on track (something they need help with!). Sagittarius should use the tarot to be more practical, to know when to apologize for over-stepping or accidentally insulting others, and be loving to themselves when facing life’s problems.
A TAROT SPREAD FOR SAGITTARIUS
Card One: How can I avoid over-loading other people?
Card Two: Which emotions should I listen when making decisions right now?
Card Three: How can I combine pleasure and productivity?
Capricorns are known for being practical, but they're also romantic and they seek pleasure, abundance, and gain in life. Usually, they also want things to move fast in their life—they don't want to waste time! The Tarot del Fuego is quick and fiery, and it can help Capricorn spice up their life. This deck explodes with color and movement, and since Capricorn doesn’t always make time for divination or self-reflection, these images could help motivate them to read more often.
A TAROT SPREAD FOR CAPRICORN
Card One: Who do I need to protect myself from?
Card Two: What should I pursue in my career?
Card Three: What passions should I pursue outside of my career?
Aquarians seek to understand and analyze everyone around them. This deck is so universal that it'll help them do just that—in fact, it's the best-known tarot deck in the world. The art style is cool, serene, and consistent, which benefits Aquarians who think too much. I particularly like to use these cards for financial and career guidance, so Aquarians can use it to get over major life challenges.

Card One: What do I need to reflect on and be mindful of in life?
Card Two: What can I do to bring in more success right now?
Card Three: What is something coming to me in the future?
While Pisces are stereotyped as crybabies, they are much stronger than people give them credit for. Pisces is a seeker; they often they want long and complex explanations, and they won’t settle for a yes or no when doing a tarot reading. The True Heart tarot cards are useful for those who want to feel protected, witchy, and knowledgeable, and they come a long and detailed guidebook to please the Pisces seeker.

Card Two: What am I wrong about
