The topic “Agatha All Along’s Tarot Cards Explained” has two versions, a written one, and a video version below the written one.
In Episode 7 of Agatha All Along, tarot cards are introduced to the MCU, prompting many fans to seek further explanation of their important role.Â
During this episode, Agatha (played by Kathryn Hahn) and Joe Locke’s mysterious character face a challenging trial as they enter an eerie mansion. Billy begins a tarot reading, not realizing that any incorrect interpretation will cause swords to fall from the ceiling.
The situation escalates when Lilia (Patti LuPone) steps in, using her tarot expertise to help them understand the cards and navigate their survival.
The significance of the tarot cards becomes increasingly apparent in the final moments of the episode, but their deeper meaning may not be fully grasped by the general audience.
Agatha All Along's Tarot Cards Explained
Lilia explains the symbols during the final tarot card reading, which have deeper meanings.
The Chariot
The Chariot symbolizes victory and the ability to overcome obstacles through willpower, focus, and determination. It suggests that control and perseverance are essential for success in challenging situations. However, Billy is unaware of the true meaning of this card when it is drawn early in the episode.
Seven of Swords (Reversed)
In its reversed position, the Seven of Swords often indicates a desire to come clean, confess, or make amends after engaging in deceptive actions. It may also suggest a shift in tactics toward collaboration instead of acting independently or dishonestly.Â
At this point in Episode 7, Billy questions why the card would be reversed, as this would imply that Agatha is being honest—something he highly doubts.
The Magician
The Magician symbolizes the power of manifestation, encouraging you to utilize your skills and resources to turn dreams into reality. It serves as a reminder to tap into your potential and take confident action.
In Episode 7, this is embodied by Billy. Lilia describes this as “very fitting” because The Magician represents “enormous potential and the ability to transform all your goals into reality:”
“You are the magician. You have enormous potential and the ability to turn all of your goals into reality. Very fitting.”
The Sun
The Sun symbolizes success, joy, and positivity, bringing clarity and brightness into one’s life. It represents fulfillment, personal growth, and optimism for the future.
When pulling this card, Lilia simply says, “Good fortune, joy, reunion.” This immediately captures Billy’s attention, as he hopes to reunite with his brother, Tommy.
Queen of Cups
This card represents emotional depth, compassion, and intuition, symbolizing a calm and nurturing presence. It suggests being in touch with one’s emotions as well as the emotions of others, using empathy to guide one’s decisions. Lilia identifies herself as the “Queen of Cups,” laying down a series of cards in an effort to escape the castle:
“I am the Queen of Cups.”
Three of Pentacles
The card symbolizes teamwork, collaboration, and the gathering of skills and resources to achieve a shared goal. It highlights the significance of cooperating with others to create something meaningful.Â
In Episode 7, this moment becomes emotionally significant for Lilia as she declares, “I need you, my coven.”
The Knight of Wands
The Knight of Wands signifies action, adventure, and enthusiasm. It represents a person who is eager to take on challenges, possesses impulsive energy, and is ready to charge ahead in pursuit of their passions. When Lilia draws The Knight of Wands, she envisions Alice, describing her as “full of fire and fighting bravely.”
The High Priestess
The High Priestess symbolizes intuition, mystery, and inner wisdom. It encourages you to trust your instincts and suggests accessing hidden knowledge and spiritual insights through reflection and stillness.Â
In “Agatha All Along,” Jen embodies this theme, as Lilia mentions that she will possess “immense spiritual power, unable or unwilling to use it.”
Three of Swords
This card symbolizes heartbreak, grief, and emotional pain, often reflecting a challenging or sorrowful experience. It signifies a period of deep emotional suffering and the need for healing.Â
Lilia connects this to Agatha in Episode 7, where she envisions Agatha crying over the deceased Billy. Lilia describes it as “heartbreak, sorrow, grief.”
The Tower/The Tower (Reversed)
The Tower represents sudden upheaval, destruction, and the collapse of false foundations, often leading to significant change. While this process may be painful, it is essential for growth and renewal.Â
In its reversed position, The Tower indicates resistance to necessary change or an avoidance of an inevitable crisis. Lilia refers to the reversed position as “Miraculous Transformation.”Â
At the end of Episode 7, Lilia changes the Tower card from reversed to upright, which results in the defeat of the Salem Seven and her own sacrifice.
Death
Death signifies the conclusion of a meaningful phase or chapter in life, leading to transformation and rebirth. It represents closure, the act of letting go, and the embrace of new beginnings as part of this natural cycle.
In Episode 7 of *Agatha All Along*, it was revealed that Aubrey Plaza’s character, Rio Vidal, is the MCU’s version of Death. This confirmation came when her tarot card was drawn, assigning her the “Death” card, thus making her the embodiment of Death and the leader of the Salem Seven.
The twist likely didn’t surprise many fans, as there had already been speculation regarding Aubrey Plaza’s character being associated with Death.
Episodes 8 and 9 of *Agatha All Along* will begin streaming on Disney+ on Wednesday, October 30, at 9 p.m. ET.
