If you're contemplating a family, whether it's "When?, "How?" or "If?", tarot can be a wonderful source of insight to help you understand emotionally and provide gentle guidance.
Pregnancy tarot is more emotional, and not a medical or diagnostic tool, however, it pays attention to your subconscious wants, blockages and possible timelines to help alleviate some of the disequilibrium that this very personal journey can create.
Pregnancy Tarot: What can it show you
Unlike a medical pregnancy test, tarot isn't going to give you a "yes" or "no" answer.
However, it can begin to illuminate the energies surrounding conception, motherhood, timing and emotional readiness.
Many of my clients approach pregnancy tarot with very tangible questions like, "Will I get pregnant soon?" or, "When will I get pregnant?" and sometimes they will ask for a simple yes or no answer from the cards.
When I see cards like the lovers tarot or Four of Wands, especially in combination, it is a very positive signal because it indicates coupling emotion with family support, and harmony.
However, cards like the Two of Swords or the Three of Swords sometimes represent emotional blocks or fears unresolved that warrant exploring before moving forward in their pregnancy journey.
Important Tarot Cards for Pregnancy and What They Indicate
This card signifies a union, and a profound connection at the soul level. When it relates to pregnancy, it may signify that conception will occur from a place of love, merger or attachment, mutual readiness, or perhaps your child will be conceived as part of your original soul agreement.
This card usually appears, when we, as a client, may feel overwhelmed or drained. It may be a message for you to become aware of the amount of stress or responsibility you are carrying at this moment, something that can affect not only your ability to conceive but to enjoy the process too.
This card usually indicates inner strength. If you faced struggles or delays regarding pregnancy, strength is a reminder that your body and heart are capable of creating miracles too - albeit if takes time.
A powerful indicator of transformation, rebirth, or even literal birth. It can indicate karmic timing that is beyond us, where a child can enter your life as part of your soul evolution and development.
If this card rises in regard to pregnancy, you may be confused by more options, and struggle to perceive what you truly want. It often arises when one is indecisive - do you really want a child now, or is your judgement clouded with other people’s expectations/values?
Yes or No Tarot Card Readings for Pregnancy Questions
Clients usually ask quick questions such as "Will I have a baby soon?" or "Is motherhood in my future?" Here are some tarot card yes or no possibilities that are usually associated with pregnancy:
3 of Wands Yes or No: Likely a yes. It's all about planning for the future and seeing your dreams start to come true.
Ace of Wands Yes or No: A passionate yes. This is a card of fertility and often appears when dealing with conception/new life.
Knight of Wands Yes or No: A likely yes, but it may also symbolize impulsive decisions or fast changes. In some cases, things may happen sooner than you expected.
Six of Wands Yes or No: Strong yes. There will be success, happiness, and recognition around the corner.
Ten of Cups Yes or No: Definite yes. Represents measurement with family, happiness, and emotional fulfillment.
The Hierophant Yes or No: A likely yes - especially if you are married or planning to have a family in a traditional way.
Queen of Swords Yes or No: No, or could be maybe. it may be time for an earnest conversation with yourself, or even your partner, about your readiness, your fears and the emotional healing that needs to be addressed before you conceive.
Final Thoughts
Tarot isn't designed to replace medical advice, it's an instrument that is very effective emotionally for mirroring.
If you are newly contemplating pregnancy or are well into the process and have been trying for a while now, the pregnancy tarot can be a resource for getting in touch with your intuition, clearing away any internal blockers and welcoming the journey with an open heart and an ability to trust.
