how do you actually combine astrology and tarot?

ok so I've been doing tarot for about a year now and I'm getting more into astrology too. but I'm not sure how to actually use them together??

like do you look at your chart before doing a reading? or pull cards for specific transits? I see people talking about "astrological spreads" but idk where to start

would love to hear how other people mix these two practices. do you keep them separate or do they inform each other?

ooh I love this question! personally I check my transits before big readings. like if saturn is doing something intense I know to expect heavier cards showing up

also I assign cards to different signs/planets which helps me read them. like the empress = venus energy, the tower = mars/uranus, etc

I do full moon and new moon tarot spreads based on what sign the moon is in! so like a scorpio full moon I might do a shadow work spread, pisces new moon something about intuition and dreams

it adds so much depth once you start connecting them

ok wait the moon sign spread idea is so cool?? I never even thought about using my moon sign as a starting point for a reading

I'm a cancer moon so im def gonna try pulling cards specifically around emotional stuff and see if it hits different. will report back lol

also indigo_rain the planet-card thing is really interesting, do you have like a reference for which cards go with which planets or is it more intuitive

jumping in bc I do something kinda similar! I use the element of whatever sign season we're in to pick my spread deck

like during fire sign seasons I reach for my more bold decks and pull with questions about motivation and action, and water sign seasons I go for gentler decks and focus on emotions and intuition

it's not super technical but honestly it helps me stay connected to the overall energy without overthinking it. sometimes simple is better idk

ok this is exactly the question I needed answered lol

I started doing both at the same time and honestly they click together so naturally once you find your entry point. for me it was noticing that the suit of cups = water signs, wands = fire, swords = air, pentacles = earth. so now when I pull a card I automatically think about the elemental energy and it connects to what I know from astrology

also one thing that really helped me was pulling a card at the start of each month as like... a theme card for my solar month. so during my virgo season I pulled the hermit and it made SO much sense for that time

just start small and the connections start to appear on their own honestly
