What Tarot cards represent danger? What Tarot cards mean safety?
While there are no “bad” Tarot cards, there are some cards that flat-out warn of danger.
Of course, any card could represent danger in the right context. For example, a 10 of Cups can mean love, but if appears in a section of your reading labeled danger, it may something you love is in danger of breaking your heart.
Still…

Knight of Swords: Danger is imminent, and personal. Protect yourself personally, physically, and spiritually.
King of Swords: Danger is distant, but no less impactful. May come from a “top-down” source, such as a wide-spread smear campaign, work sabotage, or legal ramifications.
Death: The danger is swift and complete. While it can mean danger to physical health and well-being, it may also mean danger to a home, career, or relationship.
The Devil: The danger is insidious. It may come through someone you now or once trusted. The danger is more to your reputation and mental health.
The Tower: The danger is to something you’ve built—a career, home, community, etc. If it comes to pass, all that you’ve worked for will fall apart.
Don’t forget—we all have agency.
Getting a danger card does not mean you’re out of luck. We use Tarot to improve our circumstances…not to worry about them.
Consider drawing cards for with these follow-up questions:
- How can I best protect myself?
- What resources do I have at my disposal to avoid this danger?
- Who are my allies?
- Where can I find more support?
