Trump Election- the Temperance

3:34 AM 1 Comments
Everyone seems to be shocked about the presidental election results in the US, but I am not. Morever, during the campaign I encouraged people online to vote for Trump if they were to escape Clinton mascarade.

I think Trump is going to be an OK-ay president and I simply did  not fall for the boufonic interpretation that he is against muslims or mexicans or women or gays.

I liked him because he is NOT against BDS (The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement that works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians) and will NOT play Israel's games, for sure NOT as much as the Clintons were going to.

The Temperance - is the trump card that will predict mostly what will happen in America next, because it is a card of mix of opposites/ racial tensions. Remember Raider Waite deck depicts an angel with one foot in water and one on land- showing the mix of elements water and earth which can be applied as different races and cultures. In my prior interpretation of the Temperance card I said that the Temperance can indicate a relationship where one partner is of a different race or culture/ ot it indicates a mixed marriage.
Trump will have to be the president that will stay just like the angel with one foot on land and another in the water in order to harmonize these very different elements.
 Even in Jane Austen Tarot where we do not have a mix of races we have two ladies Emma Woodhouse and Jane Fairfax showing a mix of poor, but accomplished lady and a richer lady and a role model. Thus, even though we do not have a mix of races we have a mix of  opposites/ people with different prosperity levels.



Anyway unlike the Obama case, who promissed a lot and did nothing/ or little, we have the Trump case who promissed little and will do a lot.

PS- I am also fond of Republicans because during their administration I received my citizenship, so yeah, there is also a  selfish, personal reason for it.

Blessed be

The World- Project Completion

2:42 AM 0 Comments
Hi everyone,

today I am presenting you the World card, the last card in the Major Arcana and the last card in the Major Arcana Series writing project.

With this card I complete the Major Arcana interpretations second time around, as I went through this process before (in 2009/2010) in this blog. For the reason that some of the posts on the Major Arcana interpretations are too old and difficult to find, I will create a new tab  (under the home page) called Major Arcana Series were you will  find quick access to all interpretations of the Major Arcana Cards (old and new), so please come back soon to see that.

And now the World card interpretations ,as I found them in other tarot books I read ,are being reexplained below:



The World

Overview:
The final card of the Major Arcana generally represents final victory after struggle, a goal achievement or a reward. With this card you are encouraged to think globally. It can also indicate travel and/ or that you involved in international relations or it can mean that you are doing some form of exercise such as dancing, bodywork, etc. In a general reading the World can indicate travel, change of address/ business or even immigration. Also, the World card announces the completion of a cycle and the beginning of a new one.

Challenges:
In a challenges position the World brings in a delay (or even a failure) in the achievement of a goal/ and or reward/ promotion or a delay or postponement of travel. Together with other negative cards it can indicate a loss of position. In health it relates to problems with the back spine or any bone problems/ issues.
As a shadow card, the World it could mean any of the following:
-          You are missing out on the joys of the moment;
-          You are searching for happiness outside yourself;
-          You are indulging in wishful thinking or are seeking unattainable goals;
-          You are being attracted to people/ ideas that may hurt you;
-          You are not able to focus to see things into perspective.

Solution:
As a solution the World card represents some sort of reward or promotion for your work. In this context it brings prosperity and excellence, triumph and completion. As an advice card, it encourages you to let go of the past and focus on the future.





The World card in the following decks: #1. The Jane Austen Tarot,  #2 Nicoletta Ceccoli Tarot, # 3 The Tarot of the Celtic Faeries and #4. The Dark Grimoire Tarot

Judgment- as a more "Positive" Card

9:26 AM 0 Comments

I am back :) after a long absence.
I wanted to return to finish the entire Major Arcana Series project (only 2 cards left) and that is not the only reason of my return. I've noticed that social justice and tarot may not be the most perfect combination and that criticism only brings on more negativity. For that reason, to break the cycle of negativity and to be in line with the law of attraction this blog will be concentrating on positive topics that will lead to things I want to attract such as: love, happiness, enthusiasm, hope and all things I like.

That being said here is the Judgement card interpretation as told by tarot experts and summarized by me:

The Judgment

Overview:
As a general position the Judgment indicates that you are at a point in your life where you discover your vacation/ a new truth or a new idea. There may be a major decision to take or a choice to make. This card describes people facing a time of testing, and generally the testing implied should bring success. The Judgement card may also indicate that that you reached a milestone in your life and/ or announce a new cycle. With the Judgement card in the overview position you are likely to find your calling, your vocation and are ready to start a new career or sometimes it can mean a resurrection of an old habit/ interest.

Challenges:
As a challenge the judgment indicates a difficult transition/  critical decision/ postponement of results, delays and confusion, missing an opportunity, judgment from others, a judgment made against you or a legal judgment. In health, Judgement, as a negative card, can predict illness or even a death of a love one.

Solution:

In terms of health, as a positive card, the Judgment can mean healing and recovery. As a solution, indicates a positive new beginning, clarity in seeing things into perspective. As an advice card, the Judgment means that you should learn from your past mistakes and move on. This card is not as much about the news, as much as is about your reaction to the news it brings.



In picture above, the Judgement card in the following 4 decks: 1. The Tarot of Jane Austen, 2. Nicoletta Ceccoli Tarot, 3. The Tarot of the Celtic Faeries and 4. The Dark Grimoire Tarot (HP Lovecraft Tarot). Images will be briefly discussed.

2016 Broward Elections - END Satz Regime!!

4:06 AM 0 Comments

Hi
I decided to repost and slightly edit a post I did about 4 years ago, because there are elections again in Broward, Florida. Sate attorney Satz instead of retiring wants to continue in function. Obviously he thinks he will live forever!!
Please read further, if you want to know my story and what this man did to me and my family.


Please Donate... Elections are this SUMMER
If you are reading this blog article please read further.
There is no accident! It means you are called in to spiritually connect with me.

In 2006 I left Boston, MA for a new “better” life in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It was a big change for me and I knew none at my new location. Unfortunately I met a guy who seemed a wonderful man at the time. He totally swept me off my feet. Only shortly afterwards I found myself seduced and abandoned because #1 he could not  get a green card off me as he originally hoped ;#2  I did NOT sleep with him,  and #3 I did not get a divorce for him. Through him I was introduced to a tennis store in Fort Lauderdale. I visited the place often, even when HE was NOT there and I thought the employees in that place were my friends. As unbelievable as it sounds, I even baked cookies for them and bought them chocolate on holidays. Later they turned out to be anything but friends and my biggest nightmare. One day, out of the blue I found myself brutally thrown out of the store with no explanation. At that time I entered a state of shock and I could not move, but none offered me any help or even a glass of water. The reality I was living seemed surreal to me. I was a victim of these vicious people that I thought and treated as friends. They also complained that I did not buy enough from their store, and I should buy for more money every time I visit the store, not just a pair of socks(even though I made purchases in the store of over 1,000USD). Upset I wrote a letter to the owner explaining him the situation and that I could sue the store for what they did to me. Immediately after my response, they had the man I was in love with file for a restraining order against me. This was just a charade to protect themselves against the  previous illegalities they committed in the store (like why they took my money and threw me out of the store like a dog, why they did not assist me when I got sick in their store).
Now, instead of having them punished and prosecuted by law for what they did, I am instead harassed and threatened by state attorney Satz and his people. His people together with the Jewish store completely destroyed 3 laptops, sent spam, threats and pornography to my computer. Because everything they were doing I could not even sleep at night. I was constantly under attack.
The natural question is how did that happened. In my case, the answer is simple they are all fanatic Jewish and friends from before. Moreover, state attorney Satz, as well as some of the store employees and the owner are fanatically prosecuting me on the simple reason that I am NOT Jewish and I support the Palestinian cause. Between 2007 and 2008, I and (then my new born) son were seriously harassed, followed, oppressed, even almost injured by Satz and his people all over Broward county making it impossible for me to keep my job. They illegally denied us a peaceful, normal life in Fort Lauderdale. For those that do not know, Satz is Broward state attorney for as long as he can remember. There was no democratic voting in Broward County for more than three decades. This man uses certain police officers to prosecute, harass and oppress a lot innocent people like myself and my small child for reason of Color, Ethnic Faith and /or Political Beliefs.

There are New elections for Broward state attorney right this Summer.

In order to return to Fort Lauderdale and fight Satz’ Regime (and the people who injured me) please make a donation and/ or contact me for how we, all together as one can make a difference in beautiful Broward County. (The donate button is on the left side, further down the blog).
 
 
PS- last election I had been asked a question on weather or not I think he will be re-elected which I chose Not to answer, this time around I have a prediction: HE WILL NOT GET RE_ELECTED!!
 
Blessed be!!



Emperor (Satz, aah sorry Bismarck??) is disappointing(5 of Cups) and deceptive (the Moon) to Florida.

PS- the DARK GREEN is the color protest I started last month. See link here: color protest

Sneak Peek - My Garden

7:58 AM 0 Comments

Ok, today I want to let you have a sneak peek at the last 2 tarot cards: the Judgment and the World trump cards and yes, my garden.

First of all I need to say I am not much of an outdoor person, unless it involves beach and/ or a pool. However, my family has a garden, where I do not get very much involved. This might change for the rest of the Summer mostly because I have a new found interest in herbs.

First, the Judgement card:

 
 
it is going to be an interesting study because it is "less" of a negative card, but also not a positive card either.

Second, the Word card:



which is more of "neutral" card with both positive and negative meanings.









And now the flowers in my family's garden:



 

this pine tree is in my family garden for as long as I lived...and 10 years before that:




Blessed be!

PS- I know is Summer and most people are going on vacation, but me and my son are thinking of Halloween.. We are choosing our Halloween costumes (Slanderman for my son, Morticia makeup for me :) and watching Addams Family movie. And if that would not be funny enough, recently I found a post on facebook where "other" people are doing the same thing as us.. so it might be not a coincidence after all.

The Sun- "Happy Boring" Trump Card

1:31 PM 0 Comments
Hi everyone,

today I present you the 19th "happy" trump card in the Major Arcana, the Sun.
Before I give you the general meanings of the cards from the tarot master's point of view I want to give you my own short review on the card.
Not long ago, I saw a youtube video Favorite Tarot Cards made by Kelly- Ann Maddox who presented her favorite tarot cards which were mostly the worst cards in the tarot deck and not the ones anyone would expect otherwise such as the so called "happy" cards. I thought that was a bit eccentric at the time, but now I understand her view better. I personally do not prefer "unhappy" tarot cards over the "happy" cards, but I find some of the "happy" cards plain boring to me. The Sun trump card is such an example: a "happy boring" tarot card. Most often, nothing really happens when I get this card, with the exception when I was pregnant with my son and it did predict pregnancy for me. I think one of the reasons this card is so common to me, it is because I am already an overly optimistic person and I always tend to see things in pink even when they are kind of black. So, yeah, I tend to get this card often, but that is not an indication of great success for me, just a confirmation that I hope for the best as usually.
That is all I will comment on this card and I hope you will enjoy the professional interpretations below:

The Sun

Overview:
The Sun, as you may have guessed already, is a positive/ “happy” trump card linked with success, triumph, prosperity, goal realization and celebration. It can indicate a birth in the family, a long awaited pregnancy or the start of a new enterprise/ business. It can also relate to working with children/ animals or completed studies/ passed exams and general good health. As a clear interpretation it can indicate literally a vacation in the sun, a day at the beach, etc.

In relationships it suggests a romantic involvement with a much younger person, based on attraction mostly. As a person, most often it relates to the Querrent’s children, especially to a male child.

Challenges:

In a challenges position you might refuse to be happy or to accept joy in your life. You may misunderstand things, have disagreements or encounter cancellations or delays. Also you may think that you do not deserve success or by contrary you may be too sure of yourself, overconfident, vain or arrogant. In a spread with other “bad” cards can indicate broken arrangements/ void contracts such as a broken engagement or a broken marriage. Another interpretation in the “negative” sense of the card is that you may act childish and/ or immature. Healthwise, the Sun points to heart attacks, heat exhaustion, skin problems or sunburn.

Solution:


As a solution the Sun brings optimism. This is a time where you can get excited about a new idea or a time when you can make the best use of your talents, interests and skills. In business, it means you can promote a product or an idea/ concept you truly believe in. You have the confidence and self-assurance you need to succeed. Now you are in an excellent position to form new relationships or to reconcile old ones.

Psychic Life

3:14 PM 0 Comments

Dear All, we have 3 more trump cards(The Sun, The Judgment and The World)  and the Tarot Writing Project- Major Arcana Series will be officially complete.
Yey!
To give you just an idea on HOW I LIVE MY PSYCHIC LIFE  and what will follow once the project is completed; just read on and you will not disappointed :)
First of all I want to tell you that I graduated college and I knew nothing of tarot or tarot cards at the time. Then, something suddenly happened: I obtained a scholarship in UK for a Master Program with an environmental focus. That was for me first connection with a nature discipline and learning about Mother Earth was my first step towards Wicca discovery. Then, in 1998 I bought my first tarot cards in a bookstore in Boston, but after a discussion with my God mother in UK she made me give away the cards and drop my occult studies for few more years altogether.
Wicca was something I was always drawn to, but not completely accepted. I am not a Wiccan even now mainly because I do not believe in the Golden Dawn tradition they follow which is mainly based on Jewish mysticism crap; I also do not really believe in polytheism and I prefer to think of one God.
However, I find that I  still share a lot of the Wiccan interests in studies; therefore as soon as the project is completed I want to develop more of their skills and write blog articles in the following areas:

1. in particular meditation including: creative visualization (eg. how to visualize what you want and how to accomplish your goals using meditation techniques and exercises and making collages), active imagination and psychic shielding.
2. healing: including chakra work, herbalism ( healing herbalism for health and magical purposes, aromatherapy, herb gardening, etc.) and color therapy.
3.gemology (studying different magical properties of stones)
4. astrology ( just the planets in signs corresponding to the Minor Arcana pic cards 2 through 10)
5. and last but not least environmental activism - the pagan way: Gaia Hypothesis and Deep Ecology movements.

So now you know what is coming up next, so stay tuned...

Blessed be!

Ps- there are also other magicians that I admire that came to the same conclusion that reading tarot cards has nothing to do with the Tree of Life theory Paul Hughes-Barlow

Queen of Wands looking for King of Pentacles...

10:06 AM 0 Comments
I am inviting you to the world of tarot where I am the Queen of Wands a fiery, sexy mom, who has psychic qualities. Not long ago I was the High Priestess, mysterious and unattached, but now I am looking for a partner, the King of Pentacles.

If you are not familiar with the tarot here are some of the qualities a King of Pentacles has and you should have:
- entrepreneurial, finds opportunities everywhere
- attracts wealth
- gives generously his time and attention
- maintains his calm
- is aged 35 to 55
- wants to have fun!

Only creative answers please...

 
above beautiful Antiquarian Tarot by Maree Bento
 
 
PS- for the old readers of this blog who think I am not consistent, as it seems I had a different view on the king of coins not long ago, here is my explanation to that. I noticed that the "poor" men I fell for, because I thought they were "nice" and "attractive" turned out to be "users" and took advantage of me. Two borrowed money (and I mean 300-400$) more than once and never paid back, and one stole my laptop ($900). There was also a forth one, German from Brazil, but I someone figured him out on time and when he asked for money I said NO.
I did not want to report them to the police, because I still cared for them, but a relationship with this type of people is impossible, especially since they are also not faithful. SO, this is in short the explanation of why I no longer want to date "poor" hot guys and now I think the King of Pentacles is not such a bad idea after all!

The Moon- Unhappy tarot card- Tarot Project Series

8:04 AM 0 Comments
Dear All,
I am finally able to present you the 18th trump tarot "Unhappy" card, the Moon. Ok, few personal notes on this card. It is a bad card, no doubt, however it is "less" bad than the "tower" or the "hanged man" cards which I find the absolute worst. It is a card where we loose our sense of reason for whatever motive and we most likely incur loss and the disappointment that comes with it. For example I met in my life, some men that took advantage of my good nature, and because they were good looking I fell pray to their charm and lost money/ property.  It happened 3 different times, in different locations with 3 different people of different nationalities.
The Moon can do that, but as I am not into money or property the loss was not something that crashed me.

The Moon

Overview:

The Moon is a card of fear and illusion, delusion or deception. With this card you can feel lost, confused or afraid or you can feel drawn to an undefined purpose. The Moon card is a signal to call our attention that something that can seem harmless to you can be dangerous!
The tarot Moon trump card is associated with Pisces astrological sign and the horoscope’s 12th house of spirituality and psychic awareness.

Keywords: deception, illusion, delusion, dreams, false friends, dishonesty, lies, trickery, bad dreams, drug and alcohol abuse, and the dying process.
In Magic, it means underworld travel, dream interpretation, moon magic, psychic attacks and defense.

It is important to pay attention to the real phase of the moon at the time of the reading occurs, as events will follow by the next Full moon.

Challenges:

The negative aspect of this card can be interpreted as irrational behaviour, madness, “lunacy”. Also, hidden things can come to light; addictions or trauma can be revealed, disturbing dreams and difficulty accepting emotions. It is most likely that you are a victim of false information. In a negative cards spread you should be aware of THEFT, or excessive use of drugs or alcohol. It is not advisable to act on impulse, because it is very likely that deception will follow.
Old tarot books emphasize the negative aspects of the Moon, especially deception, changeability, instability, bad luck, unseen dangers. Historically people believed that

“lunacy” and mental disorders are caused by the “moonlight”.
Healthwise, indicates all sorts of mental health issues.

Solution:

As a solution the Moon gives you power to overcome weakness or temptation.
When you receive the Moon card in a solutions position it is a good time to use your creative talents in writing (poetry or fiction), art, acting or psychology. It is also a possible indication of travel over water. You should listen to your intuition, dreams, and feelings.

As a person the Moon can be mostly women, travellers, artists, psychics, writers, actors, psychologists or psychotherapists. But the Moon can also represent: liars, impostors, con men, crooks, secret enemies or emotionally troubled or mentally ill people.





Also the Moon tarot card in the Golden Botticelli Tarot, please see below:

Few words about the Golden Botticelli Tarot- I purchased this deck a few years back, during a trip to London. It came as a disappointment to me that this deck did not have any hidden messages or story line to tell. It was just as you can see biblical like pictures in golden ink. I recently found this deck in a store downtown, and I remembered that I own this deck. So, here it is their straight Moon interpretation: No towers to choose from good or evil, No domesticated dog and wolf guarding the path between the towers of evil and good(- indicating to pay attention to possible danger! ) just an angel overlooking a pond with crab/ lobster or other crustacean, at night (the moon is present).
You can tell me what you think of this card in private or in comments.

International Arbitration

9:59 AM 0 Comments

Just a quick announcement:

I took some time off before continuing with the Moon "unhappy" Trump card because I have been hired and asked to help a friend who works at an embassy of an Arabic country. My heart is with the oppressed people of his country and it was an honor for me to help him with his law dissertation on International Arbitration.

The purpose of the paper is to illustrate by comparison the point of view of different Arabic countries regarding the Annulment of the Arbitral Award in Egypt. It is important to notice the effort the legislators in these countries make to conserve their tradition and compromise international conventions with the Islamic legislation, and especially with the Sharia law.

and because is Ramadan, Mubarak Kareem to all my Arab friends!

Namaste and blessed be to all my faery friends!

Color Protest: Children Dressed in Green

2:29 PM 0 Comments

I write here because I consider that readers of my blog are my friends. Well, most of them!

In my 30's, as I explained in my previous blog post, I was very pretty but I very unhappy, for reasons  much outside my control. You can see picture below:





Now in my early 40's I look different, but I am much happier in the sense that I do not wish for anything in particular.
 


June is a good month for me, as my career area of my birth chart is placed in Gemini and I have no bad planets in that house, unlike my 5th house (which is in Capricorn/ Saturn- meaning generally my love life is full of drama).

I do not want to give out too much, but I am soon perhaps relocating to another city, and... one of the tarot decks on my wish list will arrive soon.

So, it is almost like Christmas in June for me :)

Blessed be..

And here is one more idea: for those of you that think that what happened to me in Florida, in my 30s was UNFAIR lets have a color code: DARK GREEN.
Typical Jewish tactic.. as I recently found online they killed over 400 Palestinian children in just the last 50 days and they still play victim. The same happened to me.. they almost murdered me in Florida, and guess who is the victim on paper? A Jewish man (and the Jewish store who orchestrated the entire charade) who caused the whole tragedy and made me lost my job, my  house, my freedom and cause me so much trauma and stress that I dropped 2-3 dress sizes from size 10 to size 4. He even had me in hospital when I was 8 month pregnant and jeopardized the health of my unborn child. 
I want to see a lot of dark green this Summer and a huge marketing campaign that can communicate this protest against Jews playing victims when they ARE NOT, for every murdered child by Jews a child dressed in dark green!!

Court and Past Life Relationships

11:20 AM 0 Comments

Hi everyone,

I want to introduce you an article about : Past life relationships.
I experienced a past life relationship with someone in year 2006/ 2007. The thing is I did not know anything about past lives at that time, and I was shock to experience things that seemed very strange to me, like falling in love with someone in the first seconds I met them and not being able to give up into what seemed to appear an inappropriate relationship. As I was searching for answers for the cause of my "unexplained feelings", I met one psychic who told me right away that I was experience a past life connection. However, she did not explained to me as clearly as in Michele Knight's article attached above. I thought at the time that this was true love and we were meant to be together forever. Now I know that despite the "supernatural" feelings you have and the fact that you are sure you recognize this person from a past life, you actually are NOT meant to be together in this lifetime.
I wish they would introduce the past life relationships explanation to the courts and will adjust/ modify the law accordingly. If Police and Judges are properly trained to understand past life relationships:
 #1 would not contribute to further the pain of the people involved;
 #2 there would be no law to prosecute "innocent people" that find themselves trapped into situations beyond their control.
#3 would try to understand how traumatizing and painful is this kind of relationship with a past life partner, and to realize who the real "victim" is.

The only other thing I wanted to say is that at the moment unfortunately ONLY people that have experienced themselves a past life relationship with someone in the present can understand those in this situation. If you need guidance and you have questions  about past life relationships I am here to help you.

Blessed be,

PS_ I will post soon the Moon -unhappy trump card interpretation, so stay posted.

The Star- Tarot Happy Card in Major Arcana

10:37 AM 0 Comments
Hi everyone,

today is the Star tarot  trump "happy" card up for review. I have been working 2 jobs and it was almost impossible to find the time to write more card reviews. However, one of the jobs was a project based only so now that is finished expect that I will post more often.

The Star card is a wonderful card and following the Tower card it is like the sunshine that always comes up after a storm. Unfortunately the series of tarot trump "unhappy" cards is NOT over yet, so enjoy this card for now, while you can.
Please find below the general interpretations for this card from a positive and negative outlook as seen by the famous tarotists (Mary K Greer, Rachel Pollack, John Magiapane and Anthony Louis, etc):


The Star
Overview:
After the rough times encountered with the Tower card, we regain our peace and freedom with the Star card. Now you are finally able to let go and be yourself and you receive the recognition you deserve. The Star sign can also represent a gift or that you will receive the aid you seek.
The Star is ruled by Aquarius, meaning that you can be involved in healing of the environment/ renewable resources, science or computer science, natural medicine or astrology/ astronomy. In relationships the Star suggests that you are independent or in an “unusual” relationship.

Conflicts:
In challenges position the Star can mean that you think that you may lack beauty or talent/ clarity and vision or focus. In the situation above the Star indicates: low self-esteem problems or that you have an unattainable goal (such as “finding the perfect soul-mate”) or just pessimism/ a disappointment or that you reject spiritual guidance.  From a negative perspective the Star represents “loss/ theft or abandonment”.

Solution:
The Star in this position means great hope and faith, fulfilled expectations, bright future, good fortune/ favourable omens, protection and/ or inspiration. You will live up to your highest potential, make new friends and you will receive the aid you need.
As people the Star can be a guardian angel, a child, a young woman and those who give out help. The Star is asking the Querent to search for his/ her special talent.
Health wise, the Star dissipates all negative thoughts and calms the nervous system, your  general health will improve.


In the picture above the tarot Star trump card in four of the decks that I own, listed in the order of my personal preference: #1 The Tarot of Jane Austen, #2 The Tarot of the Celtic Faeries, #3 Nicoletta Ceccoli's Tarot and #4 The Dark Grimoire Tarot.

One note, Rachel Pollack is not great at giving interpretations but she is very "historical" will tell you what the card means in the old, traditional packs and will bring in mythology and biblical stories associated with the cards.

Tower Unhappy Tarot Card- Major Arcana Series

1:52 PM 0 Comments
Hi everyone,

today I will present another unhappy tarot card, the Tower. The good news is that it is the last unhappy card before the last unhappy card which is the Moon. The Tower is my shadow card because it is card number 16 and my birth card is 7 (Computation: birthday day (X) + birthday month(Y) + birthday year(Z)and then you add all numbers together (x+y+z = rrrr, r+r+r+r until you reach a maximum number of 22). For example if your birthday is June 20 1985 your birh card number is 06+20+1985= 2011, then you add 2+0+1+1=4 so, the Emperor is the birth card, and 13 ( 1+3= 4) is the Shadow card.
If there is more interest I will post more of birth cards on a separate post.
So, the Tower card is my shadow card, meaning I had time to experience on my own skin what this card is all about. I think one of the worst things about this card is that predicts events that cannot be prevented or avoided. For me it occurs every 7- 8 years, so it goes in cycles.

Please find below interpretations of Tower card as understood from a collection of views on this card by famous tarotists:


The Tower

Overview:

The Tower is a card of shock without warning and extreme situations. It is one of the “unhappy cards” where sudden change is NOT desired nor expected. Think of “violent” change and sometimes arguments, even crisis; feelings/ emotions that have been repressed are now released with power. You may encounter very difficult/ traumatic situations such as: accidents, bankruptcy, losing your job, Earthquakes, imprisonment or involuntary detention, hospitalization. Romantically, the Tower card represents a “red hot affair”, falling in love passionately or a divorce. Healthwise the Tower indicates surgery/ operations, even chemotherapy and at magical level signifies “sex magic” or “psychic surgery” (surgery with bare hands and instant healing).

Conflicts:

Some of the challenges you may face with this card are: misery, poverty, calamity, some sort of misfortune, loss. Also, different aspects of your life may be falling apart while you may be acting as if there are no problems. So it is hard for you to accept that things are not right. In other words, the Tower in conflict position indicates some kind of shock or disruption.

Advice:

The Tower reversed foretells a lesser negative impact on the Querent, than in its upright position. In its positive aspect this card announces a good time to eliminate false beliefs, moving away/ changing or selling house, changing jobs or pursuing a new career. As a solution, the Tower signals that the trauma is over, that the worst has passed, and it indicates that you have learned your lesson.

Devil "unhappy" tarot card - Major Arcana Series

7:18 AM 0 Comments
Dear tarot fans,

the next "unhappy" tarot card is the Devil, trump card 15 ruled by Capricorn. Before you go blaming anyone it is important that Devil manifests in all of us, the only difference is that in some of us has more power than in others. Some of you may be caring too much about money, status and material things others may need and use excessive power, look down on others and be too proud, or yet some others, like myself can let desire overcome their reason at times.
So, whoever thinks is free of Devil's influence is just lying to themselves.
In real life we see examples of devil behavior in what the US did in Irak and Syria- (stole trillions of dollars in gold, oil and artifacts, killed thousands of innocent people, destroyed historical sites and landmarks, as well as entire cities) or is illustrated in what Israel is doing to Palestinian people and what is left of their country (killing thousands of innocent people, using Palestinian children as shields on their tanks, arresting and killing Palestinian children, bombing their city, continuing their invasion by building illegal settlements, just to name a few)

Going back to Devil tarot card general meaning please find below the interpretations of this card by the most famous tarotists and my understanding of it:


The Devil

Overview:

The Devil trump card deals with lies and fear resulting in feeling bad/ doubting yourself, having negative thoughts. It also deals with an inability to let go. By definition, devil means something against your interests/ welfare and generally against what is “right”. In other words the Devil tarot card indicates that you do something that is bad for you like: fixating on materialistic things (being ruled by power or money/ greed or pride), being lead into temptation/ excessive lust or desire (ex: bending rules to achieve your selfish purpose, sex without/ outside marriage).

Conflicts/ Challenges:

In love it can mean you are obsessing about a relationship where you are excessively dependent on your romantic partner, or it can mean a harmful relationship/ unhealthy attachments. In a challenges position it may indicate jealousy/ envy or hate (wilful desire to hurt someone) or it may even signal an addiction. In a sexual relation has to do with slavery and bondage. From an occult point of view it points to practice of black magic, and at magical level represents the horned god, Pan.  Healthwise it represents some sort of abuse (emotional, physical, etc) or venereal diseases.

Advice:

As an advice: try to avoid indulging in bad habits, search the path towards spiritual enlightenment; resist the temptation to feel superior to other people or to be excessively moral to other people. You should be able to live your life freely and independently and should try to overcome self-imposed limitations.

Temperance - Major Arcana Series

10:55 AM 0 Comments
Hello dear tarot enthusiasts,

today we continue the tarot writing project with the Temperance card of Major Arcana. It is the 14th card in Major Arcana and is ruled by Sagittarius.
The Temperance trump card is like an oasis in a desert of "unhappy" cards. It does not mean it is a happy card, it only means it is not such an "unhappy" card in the row like: Hanged Man, Death, Devil or the Tower.

Please find below the general analysis of this card according to a bunch of well know tarot writers and explained by me:


Temperance

Overview:

Ok, it is a card about the obvious meaning of moderation, blending and reconciliation, finding a middle way, and tempering the extremes, but it can also be a card about “divine guidance”/ communication with your guardian angel and transformation through “patience, compassion and forgiveness”. In a relationship it means your partner is of a different race or culture, or it can indicate a mixed/ inter-racial marriage.

Challenges:

In a challenges position the Temperance card suggests “unfortunate combinations” (Waite 1910) , that things are problematic: you do not get the support you need or that there are “clashing interests”( Mathers 1888). You may be involved in fights/ conflicts/ disagreements and are tempted to overreact, become an extremist even or refuse to compromise.

Solution:

If you are looking at Temperance card as a solution, consider blending components that are generally contradictory, learn to adapt to your environment and particular circumstances. There may be several trials/ attempts before you achieve success. In an advice position, this card indicates to remain calm, balance your emotions and accept or search for assistance from a trusted source. The Querent can achieve successful combinations/ partnerships in love or business.
