Tarot Major Arcana as 2000s Rom-Com Characters
Because destiny looks better in low-rise jeans and a side part.
The Fool – Elle Woods (Legally Blonde)
Bright-eyed, underestimated, and absolutely about to change her whole life with a chihuahua in tow. Naïve? Maybe. Powerful? Definitely. Pink is a mindset.
The Magician – Jenna Rink (13 Going on 30)
Manifestation level: made it to 30, flirty, and thriving. With a sparkle dress and magic dust, she's got the tools — even if she's still figuring out the tech.
The High Priestess – Sara Melas (Hitch)
Knows the truth behind every line before it's said. Intuitive, unreadable, and rocking sarcasm like a crystal ball in heels.
The Empress – Toula Portokalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding)
Loving, nurturing, and radiating feminine glow-up energy. Bakes, breaks generational curses, and does it with perfect eyeliner.
The Emperor – Joe Fox (You’ve Got Mail)
Structured, stubborn, and owns everything… until emotions sneak through the backdoor with AOL dial-up. Order meets heart.
The Hierophant – Ian Miller (My Big Fat Greek Wedding)
Respectful of tradition (even if it’s not his), plays by the book, and shows up with flowers and a lamb. Icon behavior.
The Lovers – Anna & William (Notting Hill)
Two wildly different worlds colliding because love said so. One’s famous. One’s normal. Both are confused and ridiculously attractive.
The Chariot – Andy Sachs (The Devil Wears Prada)
Ambitious, focused, and trying not to trip in heels while chasing success. Will run over friendship, fashion, and Paris to win.
Strength – Bridget Jones (Bridget Jones’s Diary)
Not perfect, not polished, but powerful in her mess. Holds her ground even while holding wine. Queen of emotional endurance.
The Hermit – Kathleen Kelly (You’ve Got Mail)
Reads, reflects, and retreats. Owns more cardigans than friends. But also, owns her feelings and a really cute bookstore.
Wheel of Fortune – Amanda Woods (The Holiday)
Swaps lives on a whim and ends up in a rom-com within a rom-com. Fate spins, and she lands in Jude Law's arms. Iconic.
The Hanged Man – Kevin (27 Dresses)
Stuck covering weddings while secretly yearning for one. His perspective? Shifted. His tie? Loosened. His heart? Unexpectedly full.
Death – Melanie Smooter (Sweet Home Alabama)
Goodbye New York, hello unresolved issues. She ends one life to reclaim another—with sass, closure, and a lightning-struck beach.
