The Tarot Room – Georgianna

I asked my cards two questions the other day. ‘What is Tarot good for?’ and ‘What is Tarot not good for?’

For the first question, what Tarot is good for, I got the 3 of Disks.

Hmmm … I would have thought it would be something more dramatic – like the Fool, the World, or maybe the Magician, or High Priestess. I didn’t really expect this rather humble card about developing mastery.

But really, isn’t that what Tarot is best for, working on ourselves, trying to actively make our world a little bit better?

The 3 of Disks asks us to care about what we’re doing, on both a physical and spiritual level. It’s a card about step-by-step development, creativity, and the willingness to work hard to achieve something worthwhile.

What a beautiful way to see the cards, as a helper in our work.

Now for the second question, ‘what is Tarot not good for?’; the card I got was the 4 of Wands.

In the Rider Waite Smith deck, this is a card of celebration, which makes me think right away – Tarot’s not really a very good ‘party trick.’

But for this question, the idea in the Thoth version of the 4 of Wands speaks even louder to me.

The key word on the card is ‘completion’, and that’s exactly what the Tarot is not good for – completing things.

It’s not trying to settle all our questions, or give us the final answers to anything. It’s just there to help us figure things out as we go.

Tarot is more like a friend to ask advice of, than a Guru with all the answers.

You’ve been working hard and the people that matter are starting to take notice.  Take pride in doing a good job.

You’re becoming a master at your trade, and mastery requires not only technical skill, but also an appreciation for the art in what you do.

When you care about your job or the tasks you’ve taken on, the work involved is rarely a chore.  Look at your tasks as the creative processes they are.

Whatever you’re doing, you’re creating something, bringing something new into the world.  Consider your role as creator with the seriousness it deserves.

You’re becoming very good at what you’ve been working hard on.  Congratulations, keep it up.
