Cross Spread Example Report ASTRID TAROT ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Card 1 = The past and the influence the past still has. Card 2 = Obstacles in your path. Card 3 = Influences working in your favour. Card 4 = The near future. Card 5 = The long-term future. Card 6 = The eventual outcome in your life. _______________________________________________________________________________ CARD 1: THE PAST AND THE INFLUENCE THE PAST STILL HAS The Star Card 17 The Star tarot card is one of the more mysterious cards in the tarot deck. In The Star, a naked maiden with long, flowing hair pours water from two pitchers. One stream of water flows to a pool. This signifies the stirring of new concepts and ideas. The other falls on the dry earth. In the background, a bird perches in a tree. Above the maiden, eight stars shine brightly. These are the stars of hope, ascending above her. The concept of "wishing upon a star" is the essence of The Star tarot card. The universe is not the unjust, senseless place it can sometimes appear to be. The Star tarot card tells us there is always something else, even when the going is tough. The Star can represent a gesture of goodwill and affection - possibly a gift. The gifts of The Star are not necessarily material, however. The Star is ruled by the Aquarius zodiac sign. The Meaning of The Star Tarot Card Hope, faith and trust. Insight and understanding. The Star tarot card is a good indication that wishes will be fulfilled, though not always as one expects. Nevertheless, the unexpected can bring about a happy outcome. The Star is a good omen, promising opportunity. A bright future, satisfaction, inspiration, optimism and spiritual love. It denotes good health and indicates the giving of gifts. Take care not to ignore the spiritual dimension of life. CARD 2: OBSTACLES IN YOUR PATH The Ten of Cups The Meaning of The Ten of Cups Tarot Card Contentment. Peace, happiness and friendship. Love, pleasure and joy. Good companionship and family life which is set to last. The Ten of Cups is an excellent card for group activities indicating success and fun. This card foretells a wish fulfilled. Everything will work out for the best. CARD 3: INFLUENCES WORKING IN YOUR FAVOUR The Queen of Swords The Queen of Swords stands resplendent in her beautiful robes, bearing a raised sword. Her left hand is raised to signify recognition and generosity. She is a woman who has suffered great loss - possibly a widow or divorcee. The Meaning of The Queen of Swords Tarot Card A keen, sharp, quick-witted person. She is forthright and judgemental - she doesn't mince her words or spare feelings. The Queen of Swords tarot card may signify a widow or woman of sadness. She should not be underestimated - she is very alert to undercurrents. She is generous. An independent lady who is intelligent and rational. Cool in a crisis. She is graceful and has a fondness for music and dancing. This card can indicate mourning, loneliness and separation. CARD4: THE NEAR FUTURE The Devil Card 15 The image of the devil is sinister. In the tarot card he squats over two slavish figures who are chained to his pedestal. This card is associated with materialism at its worst. The Devil symbolises tyranny of the senses and physical body. He is the bearer of the inevitable, often of misery and disaster. The Devil tarot card represents lust and greed - the refusal to value anything except pleasure for pleasure's sake. The Devil is ruled by the Capricorn zodiac sign. The Meaning of The Devil Tarot Card An object which cannot be overcome yet may be worked around. Lust, unyielding power, tyranny and greed. Depression and discontent caused by an overwhelming force. The Devil tarot card represents bondage and in some situations can be a good omen for marriage. CARD5: THE LONG-TERM FUTURE The High Priest Card 5 The High Priest tarot card, sometimes known as the Pope or Hierophant (an Ancient Greek word for "priest"), is the male counterpart of The High Priestess. Whereas The High Priestess is associated with intuitive wisdom, the High Priest tarot card is indicative of the concept of moral law. He is ruled by steadfast Taurus. As with The Emperor tarot card, the High Priest is often representative of a paternal figure. Unlike The Emperor, however, the High Priest tarot card represents not so much worldly status and power, but spiritual wisdom. The triple cross and three tiers of his crown represent the physical, intellectual and divine worlds. In Christian terms they represent the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The Meaning of The High Priest Tarot Card The High Priest card symbolises a wise and capable advisor. It is associated with comfort and forgiveness, the power of the conscious mind and the influence of established faith. This card could represent a father or lover, but it could also represent a teacher or man of authority and rules to get along by. The High Priest represents mercy, kindness, humility, lenience and compassion. Advice being offered. The High Priest tarot card has a strong male connection, but is more indicative of spiritual wisdom than material matters. CARD 6: THE EVENTUAL OUTCOME IN YOUR LIFE The Ace of Pentacles The Meaning of The Ace of Pentacles Tarot Card Foundation. The Ace of Pentacles represents a firm foundation on which to build. The large coin signifies a very favourable outlook and the beginnings of prosperity. Stability, security and financial improvement. Attainment, perfection and great wealth. Ecstasy and bliss. This card could represent a windfall or gain through gambling. It signifies riches and gold - possibly artefacts or valuable coins. Treasure.

  • Major Arcana the Following Is the Journey of the Major Arcana
    The Major Arcana The following is the journey of the Major Arcana. We are going to go through them briefly together, but it is also super essential you spend time with this journey over the next week! This course is taught from the Angel Tarot, and you can use the Angel Tarot, or the Archangel Power Tarot, both by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine. Of course this information can be applied to any card deck! The Major Arcana in general are some very powerful cards! In general they hold greater weight and meaning than the “minor arcana” (which are the other suites that will be discussed). They are also referred to as the trump cards and are the foundational piece of the Tarot deck. They make up the first 21 cards in the deck, and tell a really beautiful story. They are representative of a path to spiritual self awareness and unveil the different stages of life as we move thorough our path. They all hold very deep meaningful lessons. The recording in this week goes through those, and it is also important you listen to your own heart in what they mean to you. If a lot of Major Arcana appear, pay attention to two main points: 1. The person you are reading for may be going through some big life changes. 2. The more that appear the less free will and choice that person may have (but of course there is ALWAYS free will and choice). The Major Arcana cards are all numbered, and in the Angel Tarot are associated with an Angel.

  • Tarot 1 Tarot
    Tarot 1 Tarot The tarot (/ˈtæroʊ/; first known as trionfi and later as tarocchi, tarock, and others) is a pack of playing cards (most commonly numbering 78), used from the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play a group of card games such as Italian tarocchini and French tarot. From the late 18th century until the present time the tarot has also found use by mystics and occultists in efforts at divination or as a map of mental and spiritual pathways. The tarot has four suits (which vary by region, being the French suits in Northern Europe, the Latin suits in Southern Europe, and the German suits in Central Europe). Each of these suits has pip cards numbering from ace to ten and four face cards for a total of 14 cards. In addition, the tarot is distinguished by a separate 21-card trump suit and a single card known as the Fool. Depending on the game, the Fool may act as the top trump or may be played to avoid following suit. François Rabelais gives tarau as the name of one of the games played by Gargantua in his Gargantua and Pantagruel;[1] this is likely the earliest attestation of the French form of the name.[citation needed] Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play card games. In English-speaking countries, where these games are largely unplayed, tarot cards are now used primarily for divinatory purposes. Occultists call the trump cards and the Fool "the major arcana" while the ten pip Visconti-Sforza tarot deck.

  • Supplemental Sheets ELEMENTAL DIGNITIES in TAROT Applying
    Supplemental Sheets ELEMENTAL DIGNITIES IN TAROT Applying elemental dignities analysis to a tarot reading helps identify the precise points of imbalances in a Seeker’s life or situation. The various energies and traits of a person (or even a situation) per Western theosophy can be categorized as Fire, Water, Air, or Earth in essence. For harmony in one’s life, there should be a balance of the four elements within. When two elements seem to vie for dominance and those elements are also in opposition, there will be flux, uncertainties, a sense of instability and insecurity. When active elements dominate, there may be a lack of peace, and instead, too much competition, battling, conflict, and strife. When passive elements dominate, there may be little progress, feeling overwhelmed, and controlled rather than in control. Interpreting a tarot reading by the card meanings help the Seeker understand what is going on; interpreting elemental dignities enhances that understanding by explaining why. Dignity as used in this context is defined as external manifestation of the card’s innate properties. It is the state of being activated with the full potential of its essence. An Elemental Dignity describes that state with more specificity—it is the external manifestation of a tarot card’s innate elemental essence, given that each card is governed innately by one of the four elements, Fire, Water, Air, or Earth, and thus has the potential of fully embodying the traits associated with that element. (Note however that the card’s energies would further be modified by the numerological correspondence and other factors.) Benebell Wen, www.benebellwen.com Holistic Tarot (North Atlantic Books, forthcoming 2014) Supplemental Sheets When a card from the suit of Wands is said to be dignified, it means it is fully charged and activated with the energies of its corresponding element.

  • The Star and Strength (17/8)
    TAROT The Star and Strength (17/8) The archetypal system of Tarot is ancient. Although records link its beginnings to the Middle Ages, there are indications of its origination occurring much earlier – perhaps even by thousands of years and from distant civilizations. The Tarot represents and reflects (it is) the story of life: each card is a micro-story of the profound, deeply-embedded and commonly-lived experiences of our human journey. Your core Tarot encoding is unveiled by adding your individual birth numbers together and reducing them down: in this case, your encoded major arcana Tarot archetype is #8 Strength. Expounding on this archetype, your birth numbers have also been added in such a way (a system developed by the Amberstones) as to bring forward one (and sometimes two) other major arcana archetypes that also live within you. Together, these symbiotic fields of energy create an additional dynamic and unveil the complexities of your Soul Print’s distinct journey. _______________________________________________________________________________________ You are the energetic archetypal combination of The Star (#17 in the Tarot) and Strength (#8 in the Tarot). As such, you represent a dynamic quality-set that emerges from its coupling and its energetic feedback loop. This emergent archetype and energy signature is one that represents grace, humility power and creative new birth at its core. Note the myriad similarities in the details of the images exemplifying various shared and opposed qualities. You as Star-Strength are here to interweave gentleness and aggressiveness, discern wisely between allowance and control, and evolve balance between unconsciousness-mindfulness, flexibility-insistence and visionary-action.
