Wellbeing Tarot Cards | The Compass & Spiral Deck for Modern Wellbeing
The Wellbeing Tarot is not a predictive system. It is a deck of orientation — a gentle way to pause, check your inner compass, and nourish what’s missing.
Built on the Wellbeing Compass (Earth, Air, Water, Fire) and the Wellbeing Spiral (7 steps), these cards support modern life: burnout recovery, midlife transitions, and meaning-led living — with safety before change at the heart of every reading.
What makes The Wellbeing Tarot different?
Most tarot decks focus on outcomes. This one focuses on where you are — and what you need.
The Wellbeing Tarot reframes wellbeing as orientation, not optimisation. It helps you notice the direction that’s under-nourished, so you can respond with care rather than pressure.
This deck is for people who want:
- Reflection without fear
- Insight without dependency
- A calmer relationship with change
- Language that honours the nervous system
- A path that welcomes return, again and again
The Wellbeing Compass: Earth, Air, Water, Fire
Every reading begins with the Compass — four directions that map the foundations of wellbeing:
North — Earth (Body & Vitality)
Energy, sleep, movement, hormones, symptoms as signals.
East — Air (Mind & Awareness)
Thoughts, beliefs, attention, emotional literacy.
South — Water (Nervous System & Safety)
Stress response, regulation, rest, recovery, capacity.
West — Fire (Connection & Meaning)
Belonging, relationships, purpose, nature, legacy.
If you feel stuck, the answer isn’t to push harder.
You check the compass. One direction is asking to be nourished.
The Wellbeing Spiral: a non-linear path back to yourself
Wellbeing doesn’t move in a straight line. It moves in spirals.
The Wellbeing Spiral offers seven repeatable steps — states, not achievements:
- Pause
- Listen
- Stabilise
- Nourish
- Reconnect
- Realign
- Integrate
You can enter anywhere. Revisit often. And return without shame.
What’s inside the deck?
The Wellbeing Tarot includes 78 cards designed to support reflection and embodied insight:

Each card is written and designed to be:
- Non-directive and compassionate
- Grounded and practical
- Nervous-system-safe
- Free from fortune-telling language
How to use the Wellbeing Tarot
You don’t need to “know tarot” to use this deck. You simply begin where you are.
Try these simple approaches:
- One-card Compass Check: “What is under-nourished in me today?”
- Three-card Orientation: “Where am I now? What’s missing? What restores balance?”
- Element spreads: Burnout (Fire), Belonging (Fire + Water), Body Reset (Earth)
Use the cards for journaling, gentle decision-making, transitions, retreats, and quiet morning resets — always with the premise: nothing to fix.
A deck designed for calm, beauty and depth
The Wellbeing Tarot is created with a quiet luxury sensibility — nature-led, painterly, symbolic.
The visual world is inspired by dreamlike botanical storytelling (in the spirit of Rousseau) with subtle ornamental reverence (a touch of Klimt), while avoiding heavy esoteric clichés.
This is a deck you’ll want to leave on the table — not hide in a drawer.
