While she unfortunately doesn’t get much of a strong storyline in season 2, we’re able to see the difficulty that is coming to terms with the huge growth and changes she made in the previous season settling down. We see her fully step into a more sexually bold and empowered sense of self as she explores the taboo world of sex work in season 1 and embraces her body in an environment that hasn’t always been kind to her as a fat girl in high school. Kat embodies this energy of transformation and rebirth throughout both season 1 and season 2. However you want to put it, for something new to come in, the old that takes up space needs to be removed. In order for new beginnings to take place, sometimes things must be allowed to die, doors must be closed, etc. Here’s my take on the Euphoria characters as Tarot cards and the lessons they reveal to us:ĭeath in tarot sounds dark and gloomy, but in reality is a really promising card. And whether that means you connect to them through other mediums/art forms or you simply use new tools and categorization methods for understanding who they are, there’s no right or wrong way for approaching characters. I also think it’s helped me realize that to create characters that really matter and make an impact on people, you want to create someone that speaks to people beyond just that first watch on screen. Adding an element of tarot and zodiac signs to their character breakdowns has helped me understand the central figures of Euphoria in a way I wasn’t able to while I was first watching the show. The characters are truly what I have been invested in- and their growth (or lack thereof) through these last two seasons has been fun to explore and learn from. Visually, it is stunning, and while the actual pace and storyline can be a little all over the place, I can’t lie and say I haven’t been hooked.

Archetypes help build a story around the imagery that makes up these cards– and as an avid movie and TV fanatic, I’ve realized they can also help us see our favorite movie and TV characters in a new light.Įuphoria is my recent binge obsession, much like the rest of the world. It’s in that of understanding the cards where I find that my constant media analysis helps me as a tarot reader- and vice versa.
To be a great reader is able to bridge the gap between all of these cards as well as the energy of the person being read and analyzed during this intimate process. As a tarot reader, it is my job to understand the basic interpretations of the traditional 78-card deck and relay those messages. Much like how movies have their general tropes of characters and distinct roles in the plot, tarot as a practice has specific archetypes assigned to each card. As someone who writes and loves film, I’m usually quick to catch on to who the hero and villains are, as well as breaking down the characters I like and why I treasure them.
If you work with archetypes they lead to a standard of what a character’s purpose is and what their journey may consist of. Archetypes are sets of traits or patterns of behavior that are easily recognizable and often used in literature and TV. While creating a character can seem like an endless task, leaning on archetypes can help cut through some of the confusion. Their life isn’t easy they face obstacles, and are forced to grow while we watch them react to the world around them. The most memorable characters are the ones that have a unique voice, with their own interests, conflicts, and goals. Every writer knows that a great character does not just appear out of thin air.
