Tarot Travel Cards?

[Mark Foot]

Which major arcana cards you think represent relocation, not just travel (or holidays) but mainly emigration.

 

I would take three: The World, The Star and/or The Chariot. The Moon and the Fool could also signify travel, but mostly holidays rather moving to a different place.

 

I also tend to associate The Star with relocation to a place close to rivers and sees, as long as the Star symbolizes water.

I'm not well versed in Marseilles but I agree with the World, Star and Chariot. The Wheel also, and when I read, I look for card combinations. For me, travel would be Chariot, Wheel, and World, but the Tower has also meant travel for me as in moving house, as the Brits say.  That's meant travel many times, but not recreational travel.  The Star combined with the Chariot and Wheel could speak of recreational travel, I think, too.

I find the Star « dreamy » but don’t know if it is as well the case in the Marseille or if it is more down-to-earth and concrete there.

This card can probably bring aspirations and hopes of a life elsewhere, but?

The Star in Marseilles tarot is more or less the same as with all the given interpretations for this card. It is not that "dreamy" in my view. The most "dreamy" card, the card of the idealist, who knows the value of everything but the price of nothing, is the Moon (when this idealism indicates serious implications) or the Fool, when the idealist is more innocent rather a self-destructive person.

I also think the Chariot would be one of the biggest travel cards. He's the one on wheels and headed places in a serious way. Hell, he's even directing two sphinx solely with the power of his mind, so pretty Major if you think about it. (Haha, see what I did there? )

I'm new to tarot, but I also think the 8 of wands and the 6 of swords could be associated with travel depending on surrounding cards.

I see the Fool as a major travel card — he's setting off on a journey! I don't have a problem reading that as pretty literal, since that's how all the fairy tales start, with the fool character leaving home, heading into the woods, going off to find a princess, venturing into the woods, etc.

 

I agree with the 6 of swords indicating travel! (In general I always see sixes, in numerology and in tarot, as strong indicators of transition and travel, to the point where it has constantly confuses me that the chariot is VII in the deck and not VI.) I also see the 6 of wands and the 8 of cups as both possibly indicating travel — in the 6 of wands' case, a return to some place, and in the 8 of cups' case, a departure from a current location. For instance, back in the spring, I kept pulling the 8 of cups for a lot of graduating college students who were about to physically and spiritually walk away from their homes of the last 4 years and move somewhere else.

Well, all 6s in the pips would represent a path, which depending on what other cards are around it could indicate actual travel. Any trump in combination with other cards could indicate travel, particularly if with a 6. But for me it would depend on context and surrounding cards. If forced to do a trumps-only, one-card draw, I suppose...Chariot would indicate travel, but it would quite depend on the question I'd been asked and my instinctive reaction to the card in response the question.

I find it interesting that although the king in the card is in a chariot, it's not moving.  In the Marseilles deck, the wheels are set behind the carriage sideways, like the whole thing is a display.  In the RWS deck, some cards show movement, such as the Knight of Swords, but not the Chariot.
