Jade has long been associated with peace, luck, and longevity. It is a sacred stone of the goddess, a symbol of compassion and fairness, and a companion for those seeking harmony in life and love.

In this episode, we explore jade’s myths, magical correspondences, and its resonance with tarot archetypes of truth, balance, and devotion.

What we explore in this episode:

    • The myths and magical qualities of jade
    • Astrological associations with Venus, the Moon, Libra, Virgo, and Gemini

    Jade’s elemental signatures are Earth, Water, and Spirit. Its astrological associations include Venus, the Moon, Libra, Virgo, and Gemini. It is sacred to the goddess archetypes of love, the Earth Mother, and the Muse.

    Jade & the Tarot

    Jade resonates with the archetypes of The Empress, The Lovers, and Justice—cards that speak to harmony, abundance, and balance. Like the Empress, jade encourages growth and nurturance. Like Justice, it calls us toward fairness, truth, and integrity. And like The Lovers, it opens the heart to compassion, connection, and beauty.

    Working with jade alongside tarot can help us ground love in action, protect what matters most, and trust the flow of abundance.
