I've been going on a Xena binge as of late and I stumbled upon this episode last night. I really do think it's inspired by Tarot cards, though the hints are subtle save for a few obvious ones.
Generally I get a bit annoyed when Tarot is featured... it's always Death predicting some gruesome death, or even The Hanged Man predicting some gruesome death! This is different though, it's more about the journey of Tarot. I believe Callisto is The Fool, the Wheel of Fortune is bloody obvious, Aries might be The Emperor, Joxer might be The Hanged Man (the pose is right, at least). Xena/Aries reminds me of The Lovers, and there is definitely an air of choice between going back to what she was before, or continuing on the path of good.
I didn't catch other ones, but I'm sure there are a lot more. What do you guys think?
(or those who can watch it, at least)
