Four Renamed Suits in a Second Virtue and Valentine Deck
Guardian Angel Tarot Cards is a seventy eight card deck Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine created, published by Hay House in 2014 as the second deck in their catalogue, following Angel Tarot Cards two years earlier. It keeps the traditional twenty two card Major Arcana and fifty six card Minor Arcana structure while renaming the four suits Action, Emotion, Thoughts and Abundance in place of the historical Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles, and themes every card around a specific angel offering guidance suited to the situation it represents.
The deck's soft pastel illustration sits in the same visual family as Angel Tarot Cards, carrying a female angel motif on its card backs that echoes the earlier deck's design, though Guardian Angel Tarot Cards introduces its own renamed suit structure rather than reusing Angel Tarot Cards's traditional suit names. Read upright for a positive message tied to each card's traditional meaning, it sits between Angel Tarot Cards and Fairy Tarot Cards in publication order, and its renamed suits anticipate the further renaming Fairy Tarot Cards would apply the following year, showing the same partnership varying its central theme and vocabulary across three otherwise structurally similar decks.
