How to use the Orien’s Animal Tarot cards: Whether you’ve pulled one card or several in a spread, it’s best to begin with a preliminary scan and weigh your general feeling.
Do you feel mostly positive about the cards drawn, or do you sense a more difficult message coming through? Taking the time up front to check in with your intuition can greatly improve the overall quality of your reading. It’s especially important to rely on your intuition rather than the guidebook if an animal appears that has a particular significance in your life.
Ask yourself: what have your experiences with this animal been like?
Does it make you feel happy or anxious?
Listen to your own voice and let it guide you.
You can always draw another card to seek for clarity if the message is unclear.

About the Creator: Ambi Sun is a Malaysian Chinese artist currently based in Australia. She holds her Diploma of Graphic Design from RMIT Australia and Bachelor of Fine Arts from Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia, USA. Prior to launching her career as a freelance illustrator, she spent several years traveling between Australia and the United States both studying and working as an illustrator and graphic designer.
Ambi Sun first encountered and used tarot at the young age of 12. She was enchanted by the beautiful colours and imagery in the cards and used them casually. It wasn't until 2016, when she moved to Australia, that she started to dedicate time to studying tarot while also freelancing as a designer. It was during this time of transition that she was able to connect deeply with the art of tarot and assign each card to the animals they express.
As an illustrator, Ambi Sun's style is otherworldly and instantly recognisable. Her masterful use of colour and contrast lifts subjects clear off their canvases: digitally rendered animals appear phosphorescent; moonlight creeps from behind a mountain and the whole scene glistens.
Clean lines and thoughtful composition hark back to her experience in graphic design, while fine detail and playful storytelling speak to her innate creativity and unique artistry. Inspired equally by nature and the cosmos, her art lives in a dynamic and ethereal world all her own. You can view her portfolio, purchase prints or license her patterns at ambisunart.com.
