Three Of Cups: Girlfriend Date Night

3 Cups

Three Of Cups: Three women dance together in party dresses with cups in their hands. Looks suspiciously like they’re on the vino. Good luck to ’em I say. They seem to be enjoying themselves. Maybe it’s a rare night out on the tiles sans husbands and babies. Their bodies are turned inwards facing one another. They’re not out on the prowl just enjoying one another’s company. I’ll drink to that. My regular toast when I’m out with girlfriends is: ‘Here’s to us ’cause we’re fabulous.’ I highly recommend it.

This is one of the few Tarot cards to Continue reading

The Tarot Of Shane Koyczan’s Anti-Bullying Love Poem ‘To This Day’

A Canadian poet by the name of Shane Koyczan posted an animated spoken poem called ‘To This Day’ to YouTube a week or so ago which has gone viral. It deals with the profound and lasting impact bullying at school can have on the individual. This is an issue which has impacted my immediate family in a profound way over the last couple of years and is close to my heart. I’m going to examine the Tarot of the poem which you can find on my Facebook page or at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE1Y2vGVcxw.

FYI: The Medical Tarot

I thought we might have a look today at Tarot cards associated with medical issues. NOTE: Just because these cards turn up in a reading does NOT mean you have a medical condition. As I keep on saying, there are 50 shades of Tarot, 50 possible meanings (or thereabouts), for each card. Please take the following with a large grain of salt. Some I’m sure of. Others are educated guesses.

The Pages: What The?

Page cards are the last bastion for me to crack on this blog. I struggled to write about the Ace cards because I was wrestling with a couple of different ideas about them. But it’s a whole other story with the Pages. I struggle to write about them because they are just so darn tootin’ hard to understand. But I’m gonna give it a go. (Deep breath)….

Like all the court cards Pages usually represent people. But not always. They’re complicated. Whilst kings and queens represent the mature and the experienced, Pages represent the young, the immature, or an aspect of your own personality that is beginning to blossom. If they symbolise an event it’s usually something new and undeveloped. And each Page card represents these things according to their suit as follows:

Seven Of Cups: So, Tell Me What You Want, What You Really Really Want.

7 Cups

Seven Of Cups: A man gazes at a group of cups standing on a cloud. Clouds represent our dreams and fantasies. Each cup holds something he values: knowledge (snake), love (face), a home (castle), wealth (jewels), honour (wreath) and power (the dragon). Tempting him away from what his soul desires as represented by the cup holding the shrouded figure. His back is turned towards the viewer indicating his indecisiveness over which cup he should choose.

If you get this card in a reading Continue reading

The Two Sides Of Ace Cards

Until recently I thought I had the Ace cards all figured out. But then I realised that just like their playing card doppelgängers they have two sides. On the one hand they signify beginnings. And on the other they signify a bonus of some sort.

In playing cards the Ace can equal 1 or 11. In Tarot an Ace can symbolise the start of something or a great blessing being bestowed in some area of your life. Often they signify both at once i.e. The new thing coming into your life IS a great gift.

Let’s take them suit by suit.

I finally got around to watching The Dark Knight Rises months after everyone else. Am not a big fan of movie violence so was a bit meh about the action but enjoyed the characters and the plot. Let’s have a look at the Tarot of this movie…
