What Tarot Has in Common with Quantum Physics (and Why That Surprised Me Too)

I wasn’t expecting to end up down a quantum physics rabbit hole.
But then I came across Einstein’s quote describing entanglement as “spooky action at a distance” — and something in me lit up. The phrase stayed with me. It felt strangely familiar… like I’d already experienced that idea in a completely different context.
And of course, I had. Through tarot.

Not as a science. But as a felt sense — a way the universe sometimes seems to shimmer back at me, through the card I draw, the question I hold, the moment I’m in.
I’m not suggesting tarot and quantum physics are the same thing. (Far from it!)
But I am fascinated by how often they circle similar ideas:
That nothing is truly separate
That we shape reality through our attention
That the future isn’t fixed, but fluid — influenced by relationship, choice, and meaning
And in tarot, when I turn a card, I’m not seeking “the answer.”I’m tuning into resonance — that subtle sense that something in the greater field of life is entangled with who I am, where I am, and what’s unfolding.
That’s why I love discovering these overlaps.
If you’ve ever had a tarot moment that felt like it shimmered with synchronicity, or held a mirror up to your own insight — I’d love to hear about it. Truly.
