78 Tarot Affirmations To Create Positive Change and Growth

Tarot cards are a powerful tool for self-discovery and empowerment. Combined with tarot affirmations they can be used as an important instrument to help you manifest your intentions and lead to a deeper understanding of yourself and your life.

Tarot cards can offer a unique shift of perspectives to help you make subtle changes to your vibration that will bring you into alignment with your desires. With 78 distinct images, there’s a card to help you understand nearly every situation.

These simple positive statements can be used to reframe any limiting belief to help you reprogram your mind and build your confidence. Personal transformation and an improved sense of well-being can all happen using these effective affirmations daily.

When you bring these two potent tools together, you can create a supportive practice that combines the wisdom of the tarot with the power of your words to focus your mind on your intention and bring clarity to the life you want to create.

How to craft an affirmation

There is an art to creating an effective affirmation in a powerful way. And there’s actually some science behind it as well. Here are a few things to remember when you’re coming up with your affirmations.

• Keep it positive. Your subconscious mind has trouble understanding words like “not,” so always make your affirmations describe what you do want rather than what you don’t want, avoiding negative words whenever possible. So for example, instead of “I am not in debt,” you might say “I have more than enough money for all my expenses.”

• Keep it present tense. Your brain actually thinks of the future version of yourself as a different person. It really struggles to attach future consequences to the present moment because it thinks those consequences are happening to someone else. So don’t set your affirmations way off in the future. State them as if they are true right now. Instead of “I will be a millionaire someday,” simply try “I am a millionaire.”

• Make it aspirational but believable. There’s a fine balance to be struck between an affirmation that feels like an exciting stretch and one that feels completely out of the realm of possibility. If you feel hopeless when you state your affirmation, it’s not going to have a positive effect on your energy. And that’s kind of the whole point of affirmations. You have to really pay attention to your gut reaction with this one. 

• Make it feel really good. If your affirmation brings a smile to your face, even if it feels a bit silly saying it out loud, you’re doing it right. When you visualize that statement manifesting into your reality, you should feel buoyant and joyful. That’s all there is to this whole “raise your vibration” thing. It’s just about giving yourself a positive present-moment experience.

How to combine tarot and affirmations

Many people who are new to tarot worry that some of the cards have an overwhelmingly negative focus. They might think that the cards will “make bad things happen.” But your tarot cards are just paper with pictures on them. They don’t make things happen, you do. 

If you work with your tarot deck with a positive growth mindset, you’ll see that even the challenging cards offer hope and opportunity for expansion. Maybe it’s my Sagittarian nature, but I believe that every card can guide us toward our ultimate goals. 

For each of the cards of the tarot deck, you can create an original affirmation that feels really good to you and will be an effective tool to guide your personal development. You don’t need to be a tarot expert to do this. You can do this intuitively by simply looking at the future and seeing how it makes you feel. If it makes you feel sad or fearful, you might want to create an affirmation for healing that fear or pain. If it brings up a positive emotion, focus on amplifying that with your affirmation. 

If you want to combine tarot and affirmations for a daily positive mindset practice, try choosing a tarot card at random each morning and creating an affirmation for the day. Return to that affirmation again and again throughout the day to keep you motivated. Then in the evening, reflect, maybe in your journal, on how that card and affirmation affected your day.

A regular tarot practice can help guide the direction of your life. With the help of affirmations, you’ll feel clearer, calmer, and more supported. 

The most affirmative cards in the tarot deck 

As I said before, all tarot cards can bring a message of healing and hope, but some of them are particularly uplifting. So if working with all 78 cards seems a bit overwhelming, here are a few cards you can pick out from your tarot deck to work with when you need a burst of positive energy.

In the major arcana, there are 22 cards that deal with big-picture life themes and archetypes. Some particularly affirmative major arcana cards are:

• Strength – This card reminds you that strength comes from gentle persuasion and caring energy. The infinity symbol shows that the source of your inner strength is limitless.
• The Star – This is the ultimate card of hope and self-nurturing. It’s a reminder to stay focused on your goals and give yourself the care you need to keep moving forward.
• The Sun – This card is pure joy. Think about the way you feel when the sun comes out from behind the clouds on a chilly day. That’s the energy of this card.
• The World – This is a card of accomplishment. It’s all about achieving your goals after lots of hard work

The minor arcana of the tarot features the four numbered suits and court cards. These deal with more specific themes and day-to-day life experiences we might encounter. They help us to process our emotions and continue our personal growth. Here are some minor cards you might find affirming:

• Aces – The first card in each suit is all about pure potential and possibility, which I always find exciting. The wands represent inspiration, the cups bring love and positive emotions, the swords represent new ideas, and the pentacles represent abundance and stability.
• Queens and Kings – These cards represent mastery and maturity in their respective suits, so if you’re feeling a bit of imposter syndrome, affirmations inspired by these cards can help to boost your confidence.
• 9 of Cups – Known as the wish card, it represents the contentment you will feel when your intentions have manifested.
• 10 of Cups – This is a card of pure joy and contentment you might experience when you are surrounded by your family, whether that be biological or chosen. It’s rainbows and puppy dogs and good vibes all around.
• 9 of Pentacles – I refer to this as the Ina Garten card. While this card is not meant for just one gender, I do find it particularly empowering as a woman as it depicts a lone woman surrounded by luxury and abundance. She has so much that she can joyfully share it with her friends. If you’re looking to create your own financial independence, this is a great card to work with.
• 10 of Pentacles – This card represents the long-term financial stability that means you can leave a legacy for your family. Use this card when creating affirmations for building wealth.
