TAROVERIE / COLORS

Tarot colors

Color is one part of a card’s visual language. Find the color first, then read the object, gesture and surrounding scene.

These nine entries compare colors in the Rider–Waite–Smith deck. Associations vary by deck, tradition and printing; a color alone is not a prediction.

RAM

Ram

Structure · Authority

Ram heads decorate the Emperor’s stone seat rather than running through the scene. The motif enters a composition of position and authority through a rigid structure.

Distinguishing ornament from a living animal prevents imposing movement on a static image. Ram heads can prompt discussion of leadership, but cannot establish an innate right to lead.

APPEARS IN · PUBLISHED CARD CONTEXTS

The Emperor

Ram heads decorate the Emperor’s stone seat rather than running through the scene. The motif enters a composition of position and authority through a rigid structure. Read heads, throne, red clothing, and frontal posture together. Authority is presented through several elements. A head alone cannot identify someone’s zodiac sign or explain the entire image.

Hotspots come from this published card; never transplanted onto another deck.
