So, do you associate any Tarot cards with certain points on the Wheel of the Year and if so, which ones?
I think Temperance goes well with the equinoxes, because of the "balance" theme, and especially the spring equinox, because of the irises in the Rider-Waite-Smith image.
In the Gaian Tarot, some of the cards are already associated with different points of the Wheel: the Lovers with Beltane/May Day, the Empress with "Midsummer" (which i know is what the summer solstice is often called, but it also talks about harvest), the Sun and the 6 of Water (Cups) with the summer solstice.
