The Cards

About the Deck

The Subtle Tarot contains 78 cards in three domains.

Each card and each spread is an invitation to sense into deeper registers of being and connection—to what whispers softly and what lies beneath; to the threads of relationship and subtle forces that move, and shape, and reveal.

22 Greater Cards— positions and patterns; cosmic states that arise, move through, and pass.

40 Pip Cards— ten stations across four suits, tracing the arc of the living movement from first pulse to still point.

16 Posture Cards— four modes of engagement across four suits.

The Four Suits

Soma

The body, sensation, pleasure, rest, appetite, somatic knowing.

Kin

Relational ecology, the more-than-human, interbeing, the living web between beings.

Dreaming

The imaginal, vision, the unconscious, creative intelligence.

Sight

Perception, discernment, warm clarity, clear seeing.

The Tidal Arc

Ten stations trace the movement of any living impulse, from first pulse to still point. The stations name where you are in the movement.

The Pulse · Stirring · Arrival · Taking Hold · Deepening · Fullness · The Turn · Releasing · Withdrawing · The Still Point

The Postures

Four modes of engagement. How you are present to what arises. The postures accompany any station, any pattern. They cycle freely.

Stillness · Tending · Motion · Limen

Reading Methods

Single Card— draw a single card. What needs attention in the moment? What is here to support and assist you?

The Triadic Spread— three cards. What is past · What is present · What is future.
