Tarot symbols – Arches and Bridges
Arches
Arches are symbolic of openings, passage-ways, and initiations. In a reading, the arch is a symbol of a new direction for the querent. This new opening or path is indicated by the card.
Bridges
Bridges take us from one point to another, and therefore they symbolically represent resources or help available to us. In a reading bridges remind us that the ways and means to accomplish something is always available to us. Thus, in the five of cups (Rider Waite Tarot deck) the bridge represents moving from a place of grief or regret on to another phase of life.
