Your zodiac sign has a tarot card. Actually, it has six.

Here are the twelve, in the order the Sun meets them after the March equinox. Each sign's own page has the full story, its decan cards and this year's dates.

Aries: IV The Emperor. A crowned ruler on a stone throne carved with rams' heads, an ankh-topped sceptre in one hand and an orb in the other, bare red mountains behind him.

Taurus: V The Hierophant. A priest in a triple crown seated between two grey pillars, one hand raised in blessing, two crossed keys at his feet and two tonsured ministers kneeling before him.

Gemini: VI The Lovers. A man and a woman standing apart under a great winged angel and a blazing sun, a fruit tree with a serpent behind her and a tree of flames behind him, a single mountain between them.

Cancer: VII The Chariot. An armoured driver under a starry canopy, crescent moons on his shoulders, in a stone chariot drawn by two sphinxes, one black and one white, with no reins at all.

Leo: VIII Strength. A woman in white, a garland of flowers at her waist and the infinity sign over her head, gently closing the jaws of a red lion.

Virgo: IX The Hermit. A grey-bearded figure on a snowy peak, hooded and cloaked, holding up a lantern with a six-pointed star inside it and leaning on a tall staff.

Libra: XI Justice. A crowned figure in red seated between two pillars, an upright double-edged sword in the right hand and level scales in the left.

Scorpio: XIII Death. A skeleton in black armour on a white horse, carrying a black banner marked with a white rose; a king lies fallen, a bishop pleads, and a sun rises between two distant towers.

Sagittarius: XIV Temperance. A winged angel with one foot on land and one in a pool, pouring water from one cup into another, a path behind leading up between two peaks toward a crown of light.

Capricorn: XV The Devil. A horned, bat-winged figure crouched on a black pedestal under an inverted pentagram, with a man and a woman chained loosely to it, the collars wide enough to lift off.

Aquarius: XVII The Star. A kneeling figure pouring water from two jugs, one into a pool and one onto the land, under one great eight-pointed star and seven smaller ones, a bird perched in a tree behind.

Pisces: XVIII The Moon. A moon with a face between two towers, a dog and a wolf howling up at it, a crayfish crawling out of a pool onto a path that winds away to the hills.

This is the part most "tarot card for your sign" lists skip, and it is the most personal. Book T cuts each sign into three slices of 10°, the decans, and gives each slice one of the numbered minor cards from 2 to 10. Fire signs get Wands, earth signs Pentacles, air signs Swords and water signs Cups.

Cardinal signs take the 2, 3 and 4 of their suit, fixed signs the 5, 6 and 7, mutable signs the 8, 9 and 10. So Aries runs 2, 3, 4 of Wands, and Pisces closes the year on the 9 and 10 of Cups.

Each decan also has a planet, handed out in the old Chaldean order (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon) starting with Mars at 0° Aries. Thirty-six slices and seven planets do not divide evenly, so Mars comes round one extra time and rules both the first decan (the 2 of Wands) and the last (the 10 of Cups). Mars ends up with 6 decans, every other planet with five.

The Aces stay out of the zodiac. Book T gives them to the four quarters of the sky around the pole, and the Pages (Book T's Princesses) go with them.
