Cat Symbolism In Tarot
When thinking about cat symbolism in Tarot, it's a good idea to remember
the cat plays its role on stage with the Queen of Wands. With this in mind, we
can think about the relationship between the cat and Wand Queen to derive powerful
meanings.
For
example, cat symbolism in connection with the Queen and suit of Wands deal
with:
Magic
Watchful
Independent
Discernment
Cool/Collected
Regal/Nobility
Singular Focus
Renewal/Rebirth
Restorative Power
Nurturing/Protecting
Curiosity/Exploration
Feminine Power/Goddess Energy
Looking through this list of
symbolic meanings, we can easily apply any of these attributes to both the Wand
Queen and the cat with which she keeps company.
Cat symbolism in the Tarot, in my view, honors the mystery inherent in
the cards. For untold centuries the cat has stood nobly as a symbol of
aloofness - a savvy keeper of secrets. Cats have long been viewed as vessels of
magical power, never revealing their motives (does anybody really have any idea
what motivates the feline to some of its antics!?!).
This calm, cool exterior bleeds over into the Tarot to convey a sleek
mood of secretiveness and obscurity. The cat is an ultimate authority of its
own inner realms. It needs no permission to behave in one way or another -
therefore the cat must be given full reign to rule as it sees fit.

Symbolism in Tarot
On the whole, the Wand Queen is a bright, extroverted energy. So, the
presence of the black cat can be an enigma when interpreting. In short, that
paradox is symbolic of not giving away all our secrets. Everybody has secrets,
and the wisest among us know when to share, and when to keep our secrets to
ourselves.
When the cat comes pitter-pattering into your awareness in the cards, pay
attention to the presence of secret knowledge in your midst. Think about
information that can be shared, and information that is better served when
withheld.
That dark mysterious cat will certainly have a message for you. Perhaps
she encourages you to incorporate an air of mystery into your persona. Or,
perhaps the queenly feline beckons you to be the queen/king of your own inner
knowledge - a reminder that you are the only one in charge of your inner
kingdom.
Whatever the message, to be sure cat symbolism in the Tarot is a powerful
energy. When it comes up for you, honor it and pay attention to the messages the
feline forces have to offer.
