Here are a few more cards I found on a recent TarotSpotting outing – the Ace of Disks, the Hierophant, and the Devil.
I’m not sure if they’ll end up being part of my Graffiti Tarot or not, but I like them all.

Prince of Disks
It’s a good time to get to work. Nothing exciting, just keep moving forward step by step. It’ll go a lot faster now that you’re seriously on your way.
Enjoy this building process. You’re making steady progress. If you keep moving like this, you’ll reach your goals soon.
And if you’re feeling a little dull because all you do is work, work and plan for more work, that’s okay. That’s what the energy is right now and you might as well go with it.
Creating stability is worth the effort. There’ll be plenty of time for fun soon enough.

The moon moves into Scorpio today and stays there until Thursday.
If you translate this transit into the Tarot, you could say that the High Priestess is dressed as Death. She’s in the midst of a great transformation.
The Moon in Scorpio, or High Priestess in Death’s clothing, suggests a time when feelings run deep. The ability to end relationships that don’t work, or release stagnant emotions is accentuated.
If there’s a situation in your life that’s nearing its completion, especially if it’s emotional or relationship-oriented, this might be a good time to let it go. At least explore it with emotional clarity.
This isn’t a time to be afraid, but rather a time to face your fears with equanimity and intelligence.
You’ve got what it takes. Don’t back down from the scary stuff.

As a physical sign of incredible psychic powers, I think it would be kind of fun if a third eye magically appeared on my forehead in a picture. But who knows if I would have enjoyed it as much when I was ten.
Tilde Nörgaard, a Swedish sixth grader, unfortunately discovered that that’s exactly what happened in her recent class yearbook photo. Everything else about the picture was apparently normal except that Tilde had something a little bit extra.
The photography company responsible has no explanation as to what could have happened, or where the eye came from, but they’ve offered Tilde $225 in compensation and will be reprinting all of the yearbooks.
I know she might not like it now, but I hope Tilde keeps the first version of the picture to laugh about when she’s older. And who knows, maybe she is a better seer than most.

#20 Judgment
Monday, October 15, 2012
#20 – Judgment
Most likely, this is an important time. You’re probably coming to the end of a long phase and are in the process of review.
Judgment might be a heavy word to use, but that’s likely the situation – you’re judging yourself and your progress to date. How do you rate yourself? How are you rating others? Where do you want to go next?
There’s a strong element of resurrection in this energy. As the phase you’re in comes to a close, you ready yourself for rebirth. Listen carefully to what your soul is trying to tell you. What have you learned through these last years? What might you want to try again? What might you want to let go of? The big question is how might you be even more alive going forward?
Enjoy this time for what it is, though it might feel confusing and even a little anxiety-ridden. Soon there will be movement. Take a good look at your past, a good look at your present and envision what you want to do next. What do you want your life to be like tomorrow? It’s up to you to make it happen.

I posted a couple of cards last month from my slowly evolving Tabloid Tarot. Here’s another one …
It’s a first draft of #6, The Lovers. As you can see, it’s inspired more by the Marseille deck than the Rider Waite Smith.
And don’t forget … if you’re in the mood for some celebrity Tarot readings, visit me at CelebEdge.ca. New clips are posted every week.

Gather and celebrate! It’s a day to enjoy what you’ve been working on. The project might not yet be finished, but at least you’re on your way. Well done! You have reason to smile.
Follow your passion and create from the heart. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how it will all turn out, just keep at it. The hard work’s been paying off, and you can take a moment to enjoy before heading on to the next step.
But don’t forget, you probably aren’t doing all the work yourself. Share the glory or you’ll be hearing about it later.

This isn’t actually a Tarot Kickstarter project, but Tarot can certainly get involved.
The Free Art Machine was conceived by two Chicago artists, Leo and Max, who see art as something that everyone should take part in.
Their goal is to produce thousands of pieces of free art made with public submissions for distribution in various creative ways.
They’ve figured out how to create a resin covered ‘photo block’ (a 3.5″ x 3.5″ x .75″ block of wood with a photo securely adhered to the front) for one dollar a piece.
It’s these photo blocks that will be on display in cafes, restaurants, and other venues around Chicago. People will be encouraged to not only view the pieces, but take one home for free if it particularly catches their eye.
Though the duo is focusing on Chicago, they encourage artists and art lovers from everywhere to get involved.
Take a look at the video below and visit their project page to learn more. I think it’s a great idea.
I wonder what pictures I can submit. More than likely, whatever I choose, it’ll somehow be about Tarot.

High Priestess as Justice
The Moon moved into Libra today, and will stay there until Tuesday.
Looking at this transit through the lens of the Tarot, it would be like the High Priestess is wearing Justice’s clothing. She takes on the mantle of the Karmic Decider.
With the High Priestess as Justice, or the Moon in Libra, we might be required to face up to something and decide.
Our emotions will demand respect. If we’ve leaned too far back or forward, we’ll probably find ourselves moving just as dramatically the other way.
It can be a slightly challenging period, perhaps a little manic. But by the time it’s done, something is likely to have been decided upon.
Don’t be alarmed by conflicting emotions. They’re there because you can see both sides. It’s not good enough though to just acknowledge them and walk away.
During this transit you’re being asked to take a stand one way or another. And you’ve got the wisdom and power to do so.
