Thanks to the coronavirus, commencement speeches have been forced online this year.
Whilst it obviously isn’t the same as having a real-life graduation, it’s been wonderful to see so many prominent members of our community take time to remember the Class of 2020.
But what lessons would Tarot wish to convey to graduates?
I believe we find the answer in the last line of the Major Arcana. Or as I like to call it, the Life Lessons section of the Tarot deck. Let’s take a look, shall we?
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. But they’re better known as the Major Arcana.

Some peeps just don’t know when to shut the f*** up.
They’re the ones who suffer from verbal diarrhoea.
Or foot in mouth disease.
They’re the acquaintance who posts endless tedious updates online. About the food they ate for lunch or the movie they just watched on TV.
Sorry, what? I feel asleep for a sec.
They’re the insensitive friend who shoves baby photos in your face when they know you’ve had trouble conceiving.
It’s an inability to prevent yourself from commenting online – even when you know the trolls are going to come a huntin’ if you do.
So which Tarot card would symbolise this highly annoying character trait?
Probably this one… Continue reading
