Your prayers have been answered. The Kardashians (and a few Jenners and Wests) have been turned into tarot cards.
Tarot cards get a bad rap, but they’re actually incredible. You can use them for advice, decision making, meditative practice, creative inspiration, future forecasting, personal reflection, magic and manifestation. You can use them alone, with a friend or even a group of people. You can learn more about tarot in my latest book, 365 Tarot Spells: Creating Magic in Each Day. At the end of the day, tarot is just plain fun.
Tarot communicates though symbols and archetypes. It’s easy and fun to discover those archetypes in daily life. An archetype is universal idea or prototype, so if someone says “father figure,” you know immediately what that means. That’s the power of an archetype.
Pop culture provides loads of archetypal imagery to observe, play with and help us learn tarot. Who better than our favorite Hollywood family, the Kardashians, to represent some of the strongest tarot cards?
Kylie: The Chariot
We watched her grow up on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Boy, has she ever burst out and into her own. The Chariot card is all about taking charge, knowing where you want to go and heading there. Kylie sees life as an adventure, she’s Instagram’s eighth most followed person, and her mad style has everyone waiting to see what she’ll be wearing next.
When the Chariot card appears for you, it is a reminder that you have control over life, both where you are going and what direction you want to be headed in. Set your sights, put the key in the ignition and go!
Kim: The Lovers
As the ultimate sex symbol, Kim perfectly embodies the Lovers card, which hones in on sex, love, attraction, choice and that which mesmerizes us. Her enduring fame proves she is a fascinating creature with a Marilyn Monroe X-factor. Every girl wants to be her, and every man wants to sleep with her. Nudity in tarot, as depicted on the Lovers card, often implies vulnerability, and Kim’s emotions are always readily available. But we can also take the meaning literally when we consider her nude photo shoots or her early sex tape.
When the Lovers card appears for you in a reading, get really for a sexy, wild ride. Things are about to get interesting!
Kendall: The Star
Think reserved, calm personality — the Star card represents the quiet after the storm has passed. Kendall’s reserved and calm personality embodies the peace reflected in the Star, which also represents muse-like qualities and channeling inspiration. Kendall’s skyrocketing fame on the runway and in fashion magazines proves she’s a muse for the world’s greatest designers, not to mention the face of Estée Lauder’s Modern Muse Le Rouge perfume.
If the Star card appears for you, it is a sign that troubles have passed and you are ready to channel inspiration from above.
Kanye: The Tower
From his over-the-top Yeezy Season 3 fashion show at Madison Square Garden to the much-hyped release of The Life of Pablo, Kanye does everything with a bang. His personality, creativity and outrageous statements place this Grammy winner firmly in line with the Tower card. The Tower card reflects an unexpected and explosive energy that changes everything, and that’s exactly what Kanye does. The Tower card is also the ultimate phallic symbol, reflecting masculinity and male virility, as exemplified in Kanye’s swagger.
If the Tower card shows up for you, it means things are about to change in a big way. But fear not — what is destroyed is what never fit to begin with.
Kris: The Emperor
The driving force behind the Kardashian clan connects perfectly to the Emperor card. Kris serves as executive producer of the show and also manages the careers of all of her children. The Emperor card reflects the organized type-A personality who exhibits success and structure. We’ve seen Kris called a control freak in interviews on the show. For her, managing it all means knowing when and where to release information and exclusives and how to navigate everyone’s careers.
If the Emperor card shows up for you, it is a reminder to own your personal power, speak up for yourself, get grounded in positive habits and set some limits.
Kourtney: The Empress
This mother of three embodies the Empress. The Empress is the ultimate fertility goddess and mother archetype of the tarot deck, associated with Venus, love, creativity and pregnancy. We were tearful watching as Kourtney delivered her first baby Mason and caught the whole thing on home video, amazed when she pulled 2nd baby Penelope out herself.
When the Empress card isn’t about literal pregnancy, it means you’ve got something fabulously creative brewing. Either way, when the Empress appears it is a reminder to embrace, nurture and celebrate the female goddess and creator inside you.
Scott: The Devil
Scott’s bad behavior, excess in all things, inflated ego, constant apologies and patterns of repetition connect him firmly with the Devil card. This doesn’t mean Scott is actually the Devil — tarot is never that literal but rather reflects aspects of our psyche. The Devil card represents addiction, greed, lust, abandon, power and control. It also reflects how we each grapple with these issues. Speaking of dark lords, Scott’s Instagram handle is actually @letthelordbewithyou. For the sake of his family and children, we all hope he is able to kick his destructive behavior.
If the Devil card shows up for you, it is asking you to take a look all the power and control issues in your own life.
Khloe: The High Priestess
Khloé recently sat down with E!’s Hollywood Medium, Tyler Henry, and discussed how connected she is to her intuition and how sensitive she feels about the energies that surround her. The High Priestess is all about deep feminine intuition and the reflection of inner truth. It is Khloé’s connection to the High Priestess part of herself that informs her blatant honesty. She calls it like she sees it, and she often hits the nail on the head — this is precisely due to her connection to the High Priestess.
When the High Priestess appears in a reading, it is a reminder to listen to the voice inside and stay grounded in the knowledge that you already have the answer. You just need to listen.
Rob: The Hermit
The 11th season of Keeping up with the Kardashians aired, and there was no sign of brother Rob. His departure from the show and rejection of the spotlight connect him firmly with the Hermit card. Traditionally, the Hermit card reflects a willingness to retreat from the outside world in order to cultivate a personal spiritual truth. Rob was diagnosed with diabetes and is also having a serious romance with exotic performer-turned-businesswoman Blac Chyna. We don’t know if he’s seeking out spiritual truth, but he certainly wants his privacy.
If the Hermit card appears for you, it is a reminder to spend quality time alone. The Hermit’s lantern reflects all the genius you share with the world when you are authentic and real.
Caitlyn: The World
Occult meanings behind the World card point toward gender fluidity because the card reflects a complete integration, including the masculine and feminine sides of the psyche. It reflects embracing all aspects of the self, as well as being in the moment and a sense of completion. The World card connects perfectly to Caitlyn.
If the World card appears for you, it is a reminder to embrace everything about yourself and focus on living in the moment.
