The Moon Card

The Moon, like many other Tarot cards, is very complex, and I really don't think I can cover it all here. Like the night, you can't see everything that is hidden at this card at once. In my experience, the Moon is both madness and creativity, which traditionally go hand-in-hand. Some people thrive in the darkness, creating stunning works of art, writing novels under the cover of darkness. The Moon card is emotional, and in my opinion, represents both dark and light. Other times, the Moon card means moving without really knowing where you are going. Imagine the game Clue. You know that someone has been murdered, but you don't know who the killer is. Instead of waiting for the facts, you immediately panic, gather those closest to you, and head for the exit. What you don't know is that one of the people you are dragging along with you is the killer, a real psychopath who is reveling in their misdeeds and who is amused your misplaced trust. The Moon is the panic that cau...

Tarot Warnings: When The Cards Just Say No

Reading Tarot isn't always cheery, despite my best efforts to look at things in a positive light. Sometimes, the cards just say no to whatever you want to happen. I think it is important to always try your best to achieve your goals, however. Even when the Tarot says it just isn't going to happen, if I really want it to happen I try anyway. I will tell you about something that happens recently that kind of illustrates this point. I usually do a weekly reading for myself about what is going to happen that week, what to look forward to, etc. Just a general Tarot reading that I use for practice and insights in the meanings of the Tarot cards. This week I drew: 10 of Swords, 7 of Swords, and the 8 of cups. I don't know how much you know about Tarot, but really, not a good looking bunch of cards. In my opinion, the most challenging of this group of Tarot cards is the 7 of Swords, because I have really nothing too positive to associate with it. It is traditionally seen a...

The Tarot Aces

The Aces are usually seen as excellent cards in any reading, whether ill dignified (or reversed, if you use a traditional, non-Thoth Tarot deck) or not. I personally read the Tarot aces a little differently. First, the Aces are seen as a general "this is where you need to focus the rest of the reading" card. For example, if I chose the Ace of Cups I would interpret the cards as relating to relationships, while the Ace of Pentacles would direct me to look at the finances and other tangible things in life. Aces can also present complications, problems, or issues represented by the suit. I do agree with the new beginnings aspect represented by the Aces, which is a traditional way of reading the cards, but this aspect isn't very practical and is actually kind of difficult to use in a real-life way. Applying Tarot cards in a mundane way is one of the challenges that Tarot readers face. When you use the Aces as a direction to look for the rest of the reading, I have fou...
