What is tarot?
Tarot refers to any set of cards used for fortune-telling, but the most popular tarot decks today originated in Italy in the 1400s. The deck has 22 Major Arcana cards, which reveal significant insights about your higher self, and 56 Minor Arcana cards, which offer smaller predictions about your future self. If the details overwhelm you, just know that tarot aims to guide you and offer insight into your future.
How does tarot work?
When a tarot card reader pulls cards for you, they can do several different variations of tarot readings. For this reading, Coke pulled four cards for our readers to predict what their spring might look like from beginning to end.

Your spring tarot reading
First card: Seven of Pentacles
signifies the past; represents patience, hard work, and waiting for the results of your efforts
This card suggests you’ve put a lot of work and dedication into something these past few months, and you may be feeling frustrated and impatient while waiting for it to pay off. But keep working at it—you’ll see the results you want. “Spend these warmer months reflecting inward,” Coke said. “You’ve been putting in the work!”
Second card: The Empress
signifies the present; represents growth, fertility, and the manifestation of ideas
The Empress is all about abundance, creativity, and nurturing energy. “She represents comfort, beauty, and emotional fulfillment, often connected to motherhood or artistic expression,” Coke said. This card in your reading means you’re currently in your feminine energy. You’re likely embracing the traits of The Empress, like its emotional depth and artistic side, and prioritizing self-care and nurturing. This mentality will serve you well and could bring a period of prosperity, fulfillment, and success in your future.
Third card: King of Cups
signifies the present; represents emotional awareness and maturity
Lately, you likely haven’t had time for emotional immaturity—you simply can’t be bothered by people who don’t match your emotional intelligence. This may be due to the King of Cups appearing in your reading. The card symbolizes emotional awareness and understanding. “The King of Cups is compassionate yet in control of his emotions, offering support and guidance,” Coke said. You’re in an era of emotional wisdom and balance, and any challenges you face will be met with calmness and grace.
Fourth card: Nine of Wands
signifies the future; represents perseverance and resilience
I know you’ve been working really hard, and you’re honestly just ready to cross the finish line and be done, but the Nine of Wands in your reading represents one final push before you’re able to finish. Don’t give up too early and let all your efforts amount to nothing. Coke explained that this card signals the need to protect what you’ve already built while gathering strength for a final effort. Fortunately, spring brings you renewed energy and resilience, so capitalize on this burst of energy to see your project through to the end.
What your reading means for your spring
According to Coke, these four cards together signify that you’ve been working hard toward something new and are currently in a phase that requires patience. Your efforts are being recognized and will lead to an era of abundance and growth, but for this to happen, you’ll need to maintain emotional balance throughout the process. This spread could also indicate that a creative or emotional project is coming to fruition this spring. Coke noted the importance of staying patient and managing challenges with resilience. “There is strong inner support, but perseverance is necessary to see it through,” she said. Your goals are well within reach, so don’t give up yet!
