SIGNIFICATOR Meaning and
Definition
-
A significator, in the context of astrology and divination, is a specific card, symbol, object, or person that is chosen or assigned to represent the querent or the subject of a reading. It serves as a focal point or reference point through which the reader interprets and understands the meanings and implications of other cards or symbols in the reading.
In astrology, a significator refers to a planet, zodiac sign, or house that represents an individual or a specific aspect of their life. For instance, the sun sign is often used as a significator to represent the overall personality and essence of a person in a natal chart.
In tarot and other card-based divination systems, a significator card is chosen from the deck to represent the person seeking the reading. The card selected is based on various factors like the querent's physical appearance, gender, or personality traits. The significator card is then placed in a specific position in the spread, and the surrounding cards are interpreted in relation to it.
The purpose of a significator is to give the reader a point of reference and a clearer understanding of the reading's messages, insights, and recommendations. It helps to establish a stronger connection between the reader and the querent or the subject being analyzed. By using a significator, the reader can focus their interpretation and provide more accurate and personalized guidance.

Through this Latin root, the word "significator" carries the meaning of something or someone that serves as a sign or has an indicative function. In the field of Tarot or astrology, a "significator" is a card or planet representing a person or situation in a reading or interpretation.
