“And now my beauties, something with poison in it I think, with poison in it, but attractive to the eye and soothing to the smell . . . poppies, poppies, poppies will put them to sleep.” —The Wicked Witch of the West, The Wizard of Oz (movie, released 1939)

Outcome: King of Pentacles – the ends justify the means, material focus, dragon like temperament, my way or the highway.
My final opinion of Wonderland Tarot, and upon long review; it inspires frivolity and challenges all things serious, while inviting many questions. In fact, Tarot Wonderland reminds us to ask, one of the most important questions of all, and one we should all be asking ourselves more often;
“when did you last stand on your head?”
The Venusian Dream “I’ll share my smile with you, but not my heart.” Plus various Venus Tarot examples.

Attachment to imposed belief systems dictating the terms of what is considered a “successful life” causes us to repress parts of ourselves those belief systems have deemed ‘bad’, thus weakening our personal power and capacity for achieving emotional satisfaction here on Earth.

The many faces, and confusion of the V The Hierophant Tarot card discussion.
The colour red (number five and Mars), the keys front and centre (to knowledge), the two focused acolytes obediently kneeling at the Pope’s feet (hierarchy), and the gatekeeper Pope high above them upon his throne with his crown and most serious countenance, are noteworthy elements within this RWS deck image interpretation of the Major Arcana Tarot card of V The Hierophant.

Too good to be true? XVIII The Moon card says probably so, creating a fog over the reading, clouding our sight and our minds, and with the VII Swords in the mix, this ‘fog’ is most likely purposeful. Proceed with caution this week, and trust only in yourself VII The Chariot.

Make-up company’s’ bullying sales regime and ‘classes’ reminded me of V Hierophant major arcana Tarot card – reflecting upon the expected societal ‘mask’ we have all felt obliged to wear before the world at sometime (or shamed into wearing) .

XVI The Tower ruled by both Aries and Scorpio, is a clear ‘course correction’ card and signals not being on your correct path. I see the Tower as being extremely merciful, showing the magnificence of God’s mercy by forcing us to “pull our heads in” and see Truth.
The severity of XVI Tower’s effects within our lives, seems to directly correspond with each’s own level of self-awareness, and exactly how far from Truth we have strayed…. Fire being potentially devastatingly destructive (Mars), or can purify being wholly cleansing (Pluto), with lessons to be learnt either side of the primal powers of Fire.

We Want as we are told.

I’ve learnt with difficulty over time, I am unable to change others and should not try to do so, also it is not my responsibility to “Change the World”.
For me to inspire positive change within this World, and individuals alike, the best method within my power is in my being a living example of the qualities of character I value most. In my gratitude, and practice of both kindness and respect in all areas of my daily life, I will consistently learn, thus change and grow, actively teaching within my own life living, whilst remaining connected to God/Source’s loving grace.
XIV Temperance Major Arcana is a transformative alchemical card. Medieval alchemy was fundamentally concerned in transformation of the essence of things, usually from something base to something refined. The most obvious example is the attempt to turn lead into gold, but more broadly, alchemy can be understood as the attempt to purify and refine, not only with physical objects, but also esoterically and with the human soul itself.
Spiritually then, the alchemy of XIV Temperance concerns the transformation of the soul in this manner, specifically about taking parts of the soul and concentrating them into something wholly refined and beautifully unique.
VII Cups is a very important card. The unique emotional power of fantasy found within Seven of Cups, when aligned in Truth with Source/God, I’ve deemed as one of the three essential ingredients to be harnessed in the alchemy of manifestation. Experiencing VII Cups feelings, and knowing the joy that will be yours again, once your fantasised hopes and earnest desires become realised materially in the physical realm is vital.
The emotional intensity enjoyed via visualisations, imagination, and fantasy found in the 7C seems to be the much sought after missing ‘key” (being pre-imagined emotional fulfilment) which bridges the enormous divide between intention/desire and actual material manifestation.
VII of Cups encourages us all to invest in our imaginations wisely in this way, and for this important purpose.

Would you invite a known burglar into your home? Would you then leave this thief unattended while within your home?
So why then do we allow insidiously negative thoughts make themselves so comfortably-at-home within the most precious of earthly sanctuaries; the sanctuary of our very own minds?
These intrusive thought nasty’s needlessly consume all our energy spreading further evil. leaving us exhausted and feeling powerless, robbing us of all joy and happiness we ALL rightfully should enjoy.
The power to choose positivity is an authority within each one us. Choose wisely.
Phrases to consider with Page of Swords + IV Wands + Shadow: X Wands:
“Excitedly speaking of intensely deep spiritual awakening”
Page of Swords is aligned correctly (PoS + 4W + 10W = Earth+Air+Fire+Air+Earth+Fire these three cards at their most positive interpretations could create trinity of perfection, which is reinforced by our social and inclusive Focus Number three (3) here today), his clarity of thought, truth, and ideas are manifested with their purity intact.
III Empress shadowed by King of Swords: the two of these cards together is about the integration and nurturing of the two energies, closing the gap between the Yin and the Yang, the combination creating a whole and becoming complete (our focus number nine). These two cards together combine emotional, physical, and intellectual. The female beauty who speaks truth plainly commands both respect and admiration. The Judge in a legal dispute is both discerning and understanding in his balanced and fair rulings.
Major Arcana VI The Lovers certainly sounds romantic doesn’t it? It must be about romance, it has the word ‘Lovers’ in the title of the card! Alas, I’ve never found anything remotely romantic to be found in this card historically in my readings, although many other readers have, and do treat this card as THE romantic catalyst card. Most often VI The Lovers is a connector card, or reads as a ‘connection’ between an array of possible partnerships. We have partnerships in celebration today, possibly Divinely inspired happy get-together’s with our Angel overseeing all in the VI The Lovers card. Basically both teams involved in the celebration with these two cards today, are all genuinely enjoying in each others happiness.
This card is all about winning at any cost and involves the game players, cheaters, pretenders, controllers, frenemies and energy vampires we all have to interact within our lives. 6W is associated with propaganda, self-interest, hidden agendas, using other people and their resources for self benefit, and most often is my red flag card signifying ‘bullshit’ or ‘narcissist’ if 6W is representing a person.
“Right place, at the right time, with the best attitude” for today.
Will the Sun illuminate some trickery, or reveal some deliberately concealed Truths today? 7P says all will come to light ‘eventually’, the importance of matters that occur today, may not be realised until a later time.
XIX The Sun + I The Magician & Shadow Card: VII Pentacles ‘Failure’ (RWS) Bide your time… Success not instant will feel like failure, patience and thoroughness is required.
So together these two cards talk about goodness manifesting, determined to find truth, will and determination to be good, speaking your truth freely, acting out of goodness etc or the flip side maybe the big kid who’s a fast talker, or acting impulsively and/or childishly.
I’ve often heard Four of Cups (4C) referred to as the ‘drinking’ card, associated with excessive partying, over indulgence, boredom and inebriation, but haven’t connected any of that previously with the RWS 4C lazy scene, where nothing much seems to be going on at all. The Four of Cups refusal of present day, and his current reality, that includes gifts laden with potential for growth and experiencing new states of being, implies that this figure is still back in the Three of Cups (3C) ‘party in full swing’ mode, and obstinately refusing to move at all.
Numerically The Magician is 1 and Six Pentacles is 74=75=7+5=12=1+2=3 Number Three dominates today: the first celebration number, and is social, relaxed, creative and happy. I – The Magus of Power I’ll address our shadow card first today, as The Magician and I have had a rocky relationship right from my Tarot beginnings. Whilst I […]
Strength cards softly, softly, loving approach juxtaposes the Knight of Swords harshness perfectly.
We would rather be searching for our own true happiness, then continue living a counterfeit existence. We All, unfortunately, are Unable to Unsee Truth.
I realised the importance of Uranus or God as being 0 and outside of ourselves (the beginning), and Uranus (God) being within Man as number 22 additionally, 22 being the Master Builder number (also referred to as the Holy Spirit in Christianity) and 22 is the number of Major Arcana cards within the 78-cards of the Tarot deck.
That was difficult to explain, and I had great difficulty wrapping my head around these new concepts. I’ve always loved numbers for their Universal Truth and inability to lie.
Through researching my new Tarot numbering system my number Loving has only strengthened, with a new Passion for Sacred Geometry.
