These are the meanings of tarot symbols

Angel:

The angels in the Tarot system are a symbol of divine messages. They are messengers of important information. In a reading, its appearance indicates a message that may be reaching the consultant in the form of inspiration, divine intervention, or subtlety . The angels also symbolize the superior and ideal thoughts.

Ankh:

Also known as cross cross. The Ankh have a symbolic meaning with immortality and balance. It is a common Egyptian symbol whose meaning is life . Geometrically, the loop at the top represents the sunrise over the horizon represented by the horizontal line. This symbol captures both immortality (the sun will always rise) and balance (the horizon is female, the sun is masculine in symbolism).

Arc:

The arches are a symbol of openings, passageways, and initiations . In a reading, the arc is a symbol of a new address for the consultant. This new opening or route is indicated by the card.

Armor:

The symbolic meanings according to an armor are of protection, preparation and strength. Most versions of the Tarot deck represent all knights in full armor (knights usually represents action and strength). Armor indicates a need to protect ourselves when they participate in reference activities in a reading.

Bank:

The bank is a symbol of taking a moment to analyze and examine the details. In a reading, the banks indicate that the consultant has to sit down, relax, and take some time to examine or savor the situations expressed on the card .

Bird:

The meanings of symbols with birds have to do with higher thoughts and matters of the spirit. They are creatures of the air, so they represent the highest ideals. They also represent freedom and Ascension.

When the bird symbol comes out during a reading, it is a message that we are reaching a higher level, that we have to free ourselves from the bonds and we should make our hearts light up.

Blindfold:

As expected, bandages deal with our inability to see things clearly. They represent a lack of will to face the truth, the inability to accept the facts, or a sign that something is hidden from us. In a reading, bandages are one of the tarot symbols that represent a sign that we have to be honest with ourselves, do more research, and get a different perspective.

Boats:

Ships are a sign that there are some pressing thoughts rumbling within the subconscious. These thoughts have a tendency to get moving, and this is another symbolic feature of the boat.

In a reading, ships can also indicate travel, or movement in a different direction (usually after much thought and deliberation).

Bridge:

Bridges take us from one point to another, and therefore symbolically represent resources or help at our disposal. In a tarot reading, bridges remind us that the ways and means to achieve something is always available to us. In the Five of Cups card it represents the bridge that moves from a place of sadness or regret to another phase of life.
