Caduceus Symbol Meaning in Tarot
I'm stretching the limits a bit by adding the caduceus symbol meaning to
the growing dictionary of symbols here because the appearance of the caduceus
varies from deck to deck. The Rider version shows the caduceus in the two of
cups card, but I've seen other decks feature this symbol on other cards.
Nevertheless, the caduceus is worthy of inclusion in the Tarot because of
its messages of balancing duality. The two serpents circling the staff of
Hermes are symbolic of comingling together for a unified understanding - an
equilibrium of polarities.
This is a statement of sexuality because the staff is considered phallic
in esoteric symbolism. Snakes are sometimes considered male too, but some
cultures view it as feminine. The symbol is seen in alchemy with one serpent
representing sulphur (male) and the other representing quicksilver (female).
The center focal point is the Golden rod of wisdom pertaining to the union of
opposites with a goal to achieve harmony in duality.
The
caduceus symbol meaning in Tarot deals with:
Balance
Harmony
Vitality
Sexuality
Fertility
Integration
Unification
Transcendence
Good judgment
Caduceus
symbol meaning in Tarot
Whichever gender you assign to these serpents in the Tarot, their
spiraling upwards is a message of cooperation and joining two points of view
together for the sake of a common Vision.
Serpents in general are symbolic of renewal because they shed their skin.
Ancient naturalists observed how clean, bright and shiny snakes are after
shedding, so they became representatives of transformation, purification and
sloughing off the old to embrace the new. This has spiritual connotations as
well.
In the Tarot, the two of cups reinforces the presence of choice. As we're
dealing with the suit of cups, the choice could be to join forces in romantic
(sexual) partnerships. It could also be a message of purification and cleansing
for reasons mentioned in the above paragraph.
Historically, the caduceus is commonly viewed as a Greek symbol of Hermes
(Mercury in Roman myth) and is a magical symbol fortifying blessings upon
travel, commerce, and philanthropy.
The caduceus symbol should not be confused with the staff of Asclepius
which features only one serpent (not two). The staff of Asclepius is associated
with healing and Dr. Carl Jung established it as modern emblem of integrity in
the medical field because Asclepius was a great healing god in ancient Greece.
