Tarot and Clover
Welcome to Season 11 of Every Day Tarot! This season, we’re exploring the fascinating connections between Tarot and plant allies.
In today’s episode, I’m inviting you to meet Clover—a gentle, lucky, and deeply nourishing plant ally often associated with regeneration, abundance, and emotional healing. We’ll explore its folklore, how it aligns with tarot, and how clover can help us root into our intuition and honor our sensitivity.
What we explore in this episode:
What clover is and its rich herbal and energetic qualities
Which tarot cards and astrological energies clover resonates with
Practical ways to work with clover in ritual, self-care, and creative expression
💐 Meet the Plant Ally: Clover
Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is a common yet powerful plant, flourishing in meadows, pastures, and lawns. While clover is often associated with luck and fae magic, it is also deeply tied to themes of renewal, gentle movement, and emotional resilience. Clover is a beloved lymphatic herb and blood purifier. It supports hormonal balance, assists the body in clearing stagnation, and is often used for skin conditions or detoxification.
Magically, clover has long been associated with good fortune, emotional healing, and grounded sensuality. It was said to ward off evil, attract love, and bring blessings from the fae. In Druidic traditions, clover also connects to sacred wells and the wisdom of natural cycles.
🔮 Clover & Tarot
Clover resonates with tarot archetypes of emotional renewal, intuitive clarity, and cosmic faith:
Eight of Jugs — signals the need to walk away from something that no longer nourishes us. Paired with clover’s regenerative properties, the Eight of Jugs asks: What would you leave behind if you trusted the land could hold you as you step forward?
The Star — symbolizing healing, divine timing, and renewed faith. Like clover, The Star reminds us that softness is not weakness, but a source of cosmic strength.
Queen of Jugs — embodies emotional intelligence, intuition, and maternal compassion. Like clover, she is soft but powerful. Her depth mirrors clover’s medicinal roots—supportive of hormonal balance, lymphatic flow, and respiratory ease. She teaches us that nurturing isn’t passive; it’s healing in motion.
Astrologically, clover is tied to Cancer’s nurturing depth and to planetary forces like Venus, the Moon, and Mercury—bringing together pleasure, intuition, and adaptability. Clover’s seasonal ties to Beltane also mirror this: a midspring festival of fertility and fae magic, where the veil is thin and life hums with quiet possibility. More than just luck, clover teaches us that abundance is a practice of trust, not in what we can gather, but in what we’re willing to feel, tend, and receive.

💭 Today's Tarot Pull:
From The Citadel: A Fantasy Oracle by Fen Inkwright, I pulled The Adventurer (reversed).
This card, when reversed, suggests a pause in forward motion—not from failure, but from perfectionism, fear of the unknown, or clinging to past identities. Clover reminds us: we don’t need to rush to bloom. Tenderness is a path. Movement can be intuitive. We grow in spirals, not straight lines.
Reflective prompts on this card:
Where might I be avoiding movement because it feels unsafe to begin again?
How can I let intuition guide my next step?
What form of emotional or spiritual softness do I need to return to?
