Butterfly as a Tarot symbol

Butterflies, for centuries, have been a universal symbol of change and transformation. This is because butterflies go through a transformation process called metamorphosis, which goes through stages: from egg to larva to caterpillar to a full-fledged butterfly. It is truly an amazing transformation, especially when the worm-shaped caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly in all its glory.

Human beings go through many transformations, from infancy to puberty and then to old age. Just like the butterfly, which has to fight, human beings also have to go through challenges before they can become themselves. In ancient times, butterflies were known to symbolize the human soul. In fact, the ancient Greek word “psyche” means “soul” or “butterfly.” Those who believe in reincarnation see butterflies as wandering human souls awaiting rebirth or reincarnation.

Butterflies also have mystical symbolism. Even in dreams, it has various interpretations. When a dreamer sees a butterfly in her dream, it usually means that he is about to go through changes, which are usually positive. It can also mean opportunities that will allow the dreamer to take a step forward. The butterfly is also a symbol of the fulfillment of one’s destiny.

In tarot readings, butterflies are shown in the queen and king of spade cards. It usually indicates a change in the querent’s thoughts or someone close in the querent’s life. The other butterfly tarot symbols are: rebirth, immortality, freedom, marital bliss, happiness, new hope, and journey of transformation.
