Kabbalah Tarot associates the tarot cards to the Jewish form of mystique i.e. the Kabbalah. This method calculates your Sun Sign based on your date of birth and integrates it with the Kabbalah Tree of Life and also shows the corresponding Tarot card.
Kabbalah Tarot clearly highlights the two sephiroths of the Tree of Life that are joined by the path ruled over by your Sun Sign. Each of these twelve paths of the Kabbalah Tree of Life corresponds to a particular card in the deck of the tarot cards. And it is the card that influences your positive and negative characteristic traits, your lucky day, color, ruling planet, element, your position in the tree of life and much more. This helps a person understand his personality and improve himself for the better.
It is the wisdom in the Major and the Minor Arcana Tarot cards that connect this ancient form of divination to the Jewish form of traditional astrology. Dovid Krafchow, a student of both these forms of divination for over thirty years points out the relationship between the Kabbalah Tree of Life and tarot cards. There are 22 cards in the Major Arcana that are well-recognized with the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet that forms the 22 paths of the Kabbalah Tree of Life; on the other hand, the ten cards of each of the suits in Minor Arcana are related to the ten sephiroths or spheres in the Tree of Life.
Cabbalists across the world believes that the Tree of Life has its basis on the four Kabbalah worlds - Atziluth, Briah, Yetsirah and Assiah and each of these four worlds correspond to a particular element namely, Fire, Air, Water and Earth. Each of the four suits of the Minor Arcana tarot cards are associated with these four worlds and / or elements, represented as follows:
Suit of Wands - Atziluth / Fire
Suit of Swords - Briah / Air
Suit of Cups - Yetsirah / Water
Suit of Pentacles - Assiah / Earth
Apart from providing a basic idea about the characteristic traits of an individual, Kabbalah Tarot also helps gain knowledge about the Jewish views of astrology and its relationship with the tarot cards.
