Infinity: The Lemniscate Symbol in the Tarot
The Infinity Symbol in Tarot: A Journey Without End
In the Tarot, the infinity symbol—also known as the lemniscate—represents the boundless nature of spirit and the eternal capacity for growth, transformation, and renewal. It is a symbol that reminds us we are immortal beings, constantly evolving on a never-ending spiritual journey.
The Magician: Infinite Potential Begins
Our first encounter with the infinity symbol is in The Magician card. With one hand pointing to the heavens and the other to the earth, The Magician channels the energies of the spiritual and physical realms. Laid out before him are the four suits of the Tarot—tools representing emotion, thought, creativity, and material reality.
Hovering above his head and looped around his waist, the lemniscate reminds us that these tools are not just available once, but infinitely. They are always within reach, ready to be used, again and again, in service of transformation.
Though The Magician is often seen as the beginning of the journey, the symbol above him hints at deeper wisdom—perhaps he’s been here before. There's a theatrical quality to the scene, as if he’s not just setting out, but also demonstrating what he has already learned. We might imagine him at a marketplace or fair, offering his tools like a seasoned guide sharing his wares. He reminds us that the insights we gain on our path are meant to be shared with others.
