How does Sagittarius connect to tarot?
Sagittarius brings expansive vision to tarot. Temperance embodies Sagittarius' quest for balance between adventure and wisdom, while the Wands suit captures their passionate pursuit of truth, travel, and philosophical understanding.
Sagittarius's trump is Temperance, and the three decan cards below are the Wands cards assigned to this sign in Book T, printed in The Equinox (1912).
Fire signs use Wands because that suit is the fire suit in the Minor Arcana.
The link runs through a Hebrew letter, not the sign's ruling planet, so it will not match a chart that pairs planets with trumps. Treat it as a symbolic crosswalk for reflection.
