If your here you want to know what Uno means spiritually. Each card has a hidden meaning. Before going out for a walk today I found an uno card in my shoe. Like WTF.
It was the number 2 and green. I then had to write this article when I got home to share with you what it actually means. Yes, uno cards have spiritual meaning. For each card, it means something. So if you find one in a random place or you just want to do tarot (using UNO) then this article will help you. I love writing but here I want to kind of give you a sheet so you can successfully use Uno to your advantage. And, the crazy thing is that Uno is older than Tarot. Therefore, you can use uno to do tarot but make sure it is a fresh deck and not old. If you have played a game first then this will sway the results so knock the pack first.
Find below a full reference for reading Uno cards as tarot, including every number, every colour combination, and the special cards and what each one means for your life right now.
The Four Colors: The Suits
🔴 Red, Wands
Element: Fire
HOT!! HOT!! Passion, creativity, self-expression, spirit. What sets you genuinely alight versus what you perform for approval.
🔵 Blue, Cups
Element: Water
Ok, this means emotions, love, relationships, intuition, grief. The entire underwater landscape of your inner life.
🟡 Yellow, Swords
Element: Air
This element means: mind, thoughts, beliefs, truth, mental patterns. The sharpest suit in the deck. It cuts through comfortable fiction.
🟢 Green, Pentacles
Element: Earth
The green cards are about money, health, home, stability, the physical world. Slow, honest, completely unimpressed by spiritual bypassing.
The Numbers: Where You Are in the Cycle

Tarot Equivalent |
Core Spiritual Meaning |
| 1 |
Ace |
This is so great for you, as it means a new beginning. Pure potential. The seed before stuff happens. Everything starts here, raw, unformed, full of possibility. EVERYTHING is working out for you. |
| 2 |
Two |
Partnership. Duality. The first bridge between self and other. You cannot finish this alone and that is not weakness, that is design. |
| 3 |
Three |
Divine creativity. The Trinity number. Something is being built at a spiritual level whether you can see the construction yet or not. |
| 4 |
Four |
Foundation. Stability. Stop moving and build something solid. This is not a time to perform, it is a time to root. |
| 5 |
Five |
Change. Disruption. What you're holding has expired. The universe has run out of gentle ways to tell you. Let it shift. |
| 6 |
Six |
Caretaking. Responsibility. Love with weight. Who is taking care of you while you take care of everyone else? Answer honestly. |
| 7 |
Seven |
Seeking. Mysticism. The veil is thinning. The answer is closer than the noise is letting you hear. Go quiet. |
| 8 |
Eight |
Power. Abundance. The infinity symbol upright. You already have everything you need. The only missing ingredient is your willingness to claim it. |
| 9 |
Nine |
Completion. The dignified close of something that served its purpose. Thank it. Release it. Don't try to resurrect what nine has already laid to rest. |
| 0 |
Ten |
Full cycle complete. Reset. The slate isn't blank because you lost, it's blank because something new needs room to be written. |

You are standing at the threshold of a creative decision. Two paths, both lit. A partnership in passion is forming. Someone is about to share your fire. |
| Red 3Three of Wands |
Your vision is further along than you think. The groundwork has been laid. Something you started with passion is beginning to show results. Keep going. |
| Red 4Four of Wands |
Celebration of what you've built. Creative foundations are solid. A joyful milestone in something that genuinely matters to your spirit. Enjoy it fully. |
| Red 5Five of Wands |
Creative conflict. Competing passions pulling in different directions. The fire needs direction not suppression. Channel it, don't extinguish it. |
| Red 6Six of Wands |
Recognition. Your passion and effort is being seen. A moment of visible success in something that comes from your authentic spirit. Own it without apologising. |
| Red 7Seven of Wands |
You are defending something you care deeply about. Hold your ground. Your creative vision is worth protecting even when others push back. |
| Red 8Eight of Wands |
Everything is accelerating. Energy is moving fast in the direction of your passion. You have everything you need. This is not the time to hesitate. |
| Red 9Nine of Wands |
You are almost there and you are exhausted and that is completely valid. Don't stop now. The finish line is closer than the tiredness is telling you. |
| Red 0Ten of Wands |
You are carrying too much. The passion has become a burden. Something needs to be put down, not abandoned, set down intentionally so you can breathe again. |
Blue Cards: Water and Emotion (Cups)
Blue, Cups, Water
Emotions, love, relationships, intuition, the inner world
| Blue 1Ace of Cups |
FAB... a new love is beginning. Could be romantic, could be a new relationship with yourself. The cup is full and overflowing. Open your hands and receive it. |

A deep emotional connection. Partnership, mutual love, the meeting of two people who genuinely see each other. If you're not in it yet, it is coming. |

You are so focused on what you don't have emotionally that you're missing what's right in front of you. Something is being offered. Look up. |
| Blue 5Five of Cups |
Grief and loss. Something emotionally significant has ended or disappointed. Feel it fully. But notice the cups still standing behind you. |
| Blue 6Six of Cups |
Nostalgia, childhood, the past returning with warmth. Someone from before is coming back or an old joy is available to you again. |
| Blue 7Seven of Cups |
Illusion. You are seeing what you want to see rather than what is. Your emotional world needs honesty right now, not fantasy. |

Yellow Cards: Air and Mind (Swords)
Yellow, Swords, Air
Mind, thoughts, beliefs, truth, mental patterns, clarity
| Yellow 1Ace of Swords |
WOW mental clarity arriving like a blade cutting through fog. A breakthrough thought. The truth you've been circling is about to land cleanly. |
| Yellow 2Two of Swords |
Tell me... are you avoiding a decision? The blindfold is self-imposed. You already know what you need to do and you are choosing not to see it yet. |
| Yellow 3Three of Swords |
Same as 3 swords this means heartbreak, painful truth, the thing that hurts because it's real. The three of swords doesn't apologise. It just shows you what is. Grieve it properly. |
| Yellow 4Four of Swords |
Please rest your mind. You have been thinking and planning and worrying at a level that is no longer productive. Be still. The answer needs silence to reach you. |
| Yellow 5Five of Swords |
Watch out for conflict. Someone has won at your expense or you at theirs. Either way the victory feels hollow. Ask yourself what the battle was actually for. |
| Yellow 6Six of Swords |
Things are just moving on. Leaving troubled mental waters for calmer ones. A difficult period of thinking and struggle is ending. The passage is quiet and necessary. |
| Yellow 7Seven of Swords |
Beware my lovely. Deception. Someone is not being fully honest, possibly including you with yourself. Something is being done in secret. Pay attention to what doesn't add up. |
| Yellow 8Eight of Swords |
Sorry I think this means you are trapped by your own thinking. The restrictions you feel are largely mental constructs. The blindfold is yours. The ropes are yours. And therefore so is the key. |
| Yellow 9Nine of Swords |
Anxiety at its peak. The 3am card. The mind torturing itself with worst case scenarios in the dark. What you are fearing is almost certainly worse in your head than in reality. |
| Yellow 0Ten of Swords |
A brutal ending. Something has been destroyed completely. But the sun is rising in the background. The worst is over. This is not the end, it is the beginning of after. |

Green, Pentacles, Earth
Money, health, home, stability, what you are building in the physical world
| Green 1Ace of Pentacles |
A new financial or material opportunity. A seed of prosperity being planted. Something practical and solid is beginning. Tend to it carefully. |
| Green 2Two of Pentacles |
You are juggling. Managing multiple financial or practical demands and only just keeping up. Something needs to be simplified or something will drop. |
| Green 3Three of Pentacles |
Collaboration producing real results. Skilled work being recognised. You are building something of genuine quality with others. The craft matters here. |
| Green 4Four of Pentacles |
Holding too tightly. Financial fear masquerading as security. You are so focused on protecting what you have that you've stopped allowing anything new to arrive. |
| Green 5Five of Pentacles |
Financial hardship, material struggle, feeling left out in the cold. But notice: the warm light is coming from a window nearby. Help is closer than the struggle is letting you see. |
| Green 6Six of Pentacles |
Generosity and receiving. Either you are in a position to give or you need to allow yourself to receive without shame. Both sides of this card require grace. |
| Green 7Seven of Pentacles |
You have done the work and now you wait for the harvest. This is not failure. This is the necessary pause between effort and result. Trust what you planted. |

Mastery through practice. Dedicated skilled work. You are becoming exceptionally good at something through consistent focused effort. Keep your head down and keep going. |

| Green 0Ten of Pentacles |
Generational wealth and legacy. Not just money, what you are leaving behind. Family, stability, lasting security. The complete material picture fully realised. |
The Special Cards: The Uno Arcana
⏭️
Skip
YES! This is protection in disguise. Your turn being missed is the universe keeping you from a step that wasn't right from an angle you couldn't see. Trust the pause even when it frustrates you. Delay is not denial.
🔄
Reverse
WOW, if you get this card then this is kind of like the wheel of fortune. This means things are changing completely. Something is coming back, a person, a lesson, an opportunity you thought had passed. The question is not whether you'll recognise it. It's whether you'll respond differently this time.
➕
Draw Two (+2)
This is a real loading period before your next POWER move. More is being placed in your hands than you asked for. The universe is not punishing you, it is resourcing you. You are being made ready for something that requires more than you currently have.
🃏
Wild Card
Umm this is cool, it's the higher POWER card. All four colours present simultaneously, all elements, all directions at once. A call to surrender control and allow something larger than your planning to move in this situation. Surrender is not giving up. It is the advanced move.
🃏
Wild Draw Four (+4)
This is cool, it means surrender and responsibility together. Divine help is available beyond what you can logically account for and there is work that only you can do. Both are true simultaneously. Neither cancels the other. Heaven helps those who also pick up the shovel.
