Throwback Thursday: The Holy Book of Tarot – Adulthood

I’ve written before about how Tarot contains a holy book that charts the journey of a human soul through all the stages and experiences of life. I call these cards Life Lessons Tarot, although they’re better known as the Major Arcana.

These lessons are divided into three parts.

Last week, we revisited the first part: Childhood.

The second volume covers key experiences in adulthood.

As follows…


Strength: Developing confidence


The Hermit: Turning within / Seeking guidance


The Wheel of Fortune: Experiencing ups and downs


Justice: Weighing your options


The Hanged Man: Being pushed outside your comfort zone / Making sacrifices


Death: Moving on


Temperance: Finding balance

Often one experience leads to another.

Lack of confidence can make you feel alone and lead you to seek guidance.

Experiencing ups and downs in the workplace or at home can lead you to weigh your options.

After weighing up your options, you might decide to pursue a new job/partner/home leading to you being pushed outside your comfort zone and eventually moving on.

Then you have to make adjustments to your life to accommodate the changes you have made e.g. Leave earlier for work. Find another way to keep in contact with friends from your old workplace. Redecorate.

The knee bone’s connected to the thigh bone, lol.

Even in Tarot.

What’s your take on the journey through these cards in the Holy Book of Tarot?
