The Wild Life Tarot

an instinctual journey through the Tarot

The Wild Life Tarot is a love letter to the animal kingdom—78 creatures, each chosen to embody the energy, instinct, and wisdom of a specific Tarot card.

Born from a lifelong fascination with animal behavior and the ecosystems they call home, this deck invites you to explore your intuition through the lens of nature—tracking patterns, instincts, and meaning across the wild web of life.

If you've ever watched a hawk circle overhead and felt it meant something significant, this deck is for you.

Each Minor Arcana suit is rooted in a specific ecosystem, element, and animal family:

Cups = Sea Creatures

Biome: Ocean
Symbol: Teacups
Palette: Blue + Gold
Energy: Emotion, nostalgia, receptivity

Pentacles = Mammals

Symbol: Branches
Palette: Deep coral + Red

Animal choices in the Minor Arcana were guided by each creature’s ecological role and place in the food web.

The Major Arcana combines Rider-Waite Smith symbolism with natural world associations.

Each card is paired with an animal, astrological influences, and classic archetypes.

A journal prompt or tarot spread suggestion for every Major
Zodiac and planetary inspiration embedded in the flora, fauna, and color palette
