Ace of Wands

This Ace represents the raw energy of inspiration, creativity, passion and confidence. This card suggests the initiation of something new and starting afresh. It indicates that now is the time to harness and direct this powerful energy. It is the gift of enthusiasm and courage to get the thing you want and make your dream come true.

Two of Pentacles

The Two of Pentacles represents the principle of balance amidst continual changes. If there are too many transformations at one time, life can become disordered and we can feel frenzied. But if there is too little change, life can stagnate leaving us feeling as if we are at a standstill and never in a state of growth. The juggler here keeps everything is in constant motion, and under his control. He is open to new opportunities yet is mindful of what new projects he is able or not able to take on at this time. He manages this by maintaining harmony and staying focused on his own well being in the midst of progressive change. He is playful, flexible and allows the natural flow of things to guide him. He trusts that the choices he makes and the actions he takes in relation to them will keep him on his higher path provided he maintains balance.

The Lemniscate

Yes, the Lemniscate. Currently, I am taking an algebra class. 38 years old and I find myself 22 years later relearning algebra. God help me... Anyway, I have learned that when writing a solution set in interval notation one will use this illustrious,geometrical and mathematical symbol to represent infinity. Instead of concentrating on solution sets and inequalities, I found myself thinking about the Tarot cards that clearly highlight this symbol -The Magician, Strength and the Two of Pentacles. Perhaps lack of focus on math is an indication as to why I didn't learn algebra as a teen? So, here I am posting about this "circle that turns round upon itself" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeq5a8bBh8c. It represents the energy that cannot be broken or destroyed, created or manipulated. It depicts that which has no end. This symbol portrays the endless force that is forever existant, divine and that which expresses itself through our thoughts and actions.


Major Arcana speaks...

Well, once again I’ve neglected my little website…but I’m here now and I’d like to post something I thought was really insightful. I found it on this website not too long ago: http://www.globalpsychics.com/

Upon the precipice I stand, ready to step into the unknown (0 Fool). My will (I Magician) and my intuition (II High Priestess), my creativity (III Empress), and my reason (IV Emperor) are all present within me. Tradition (V Hierophant) and choice (VI Lovers) are part of me as well, as I charge triumphant (VII Chariot) with quiet and fixed determination (VIII Strength).


I contemplate (IX Hermit) the paths I have taken and the changes (X Wheel of Fortune) of my life, both the highs and the lows as I reflect on my aspirations (XI Justice), sacrifices (XII Hanged Man), and endings (XIII Death). Blending and balancing (XIV Temperance) my material nature (XV Devil), looking at my destructive or penetrating insights (XVI Tower), while maintaining my hopes (XVII Star) can be a challenge.


Self-doubts and motivations that are hidden (XVIII Moon) haunt me until I can consciously recognize and illuminate (XIX Sun) them. Great awakenings (XX Judgment) and awareness bring the true reward (XXI World). And at the end of the journey once more becoming childlike and innocent (0 Fool), I begin my journey again, back where I had started, poised at the edge of the precipice.
