The Tarot Room – Georgianna

The Indian car maker Tata has turned one of the least expensive cars in the world into one of the most expensive.

While being amazed by this gold, silver, and jewel encrusted vehicle, I was of course reminded of the Tarot’s Chariot card.

The Charioteer is known for his willingness to work hard and conscientiously persevere in his quest for victory in both battle and life.

This particular Tata Nano is a good metaphor for the Chariot’s journey to success.

It started as a humble working folk car, but was transformed through the diligence of the Indian karigars into a Golden Chariot fit for the Gods.

It’s clearly impractical, but I like it.

The King of Swords

Clear rational thinking is at the fore today.  Is there something you need to take control of?  Have you been wavering and wishy-washy lately?  Stop procrastinating.

Focus, take charge and get it done.   Have the courage to be clear and rational.  Cut through the fog and let logic rule the day.

You know who you are, you know what you want and you’re sure you deserve it.   Go to it.  But beware of dictating what’s best for those around you.

You might know how to take care of yourself, but let others take care of their own lives, their own way.

I know it’s short notice, but I just found out about it the other day … the UK Tarot Conference in London will be held on the 14th and 15th of October. I wish I could go!

Friday afternoon will kick things off with Trudy Ashplant revealing the insights of the Court Cards. Sasha Fenton will follow up with her presentation, Tarot and Astrology: A Forgotten Link Rediscovered.

Saturday will be a full day of seminars, starting with Gaynor Thompson. She’ll be looking at how to get beyond the literal meaning in the cards by connecting to your sixth sense.

Next up will be Philip Carr-Gomm and Adele Nozedar examining the role of birds in divination. Their talk looks so interesting, it prompted me to order a copy of Nozedar’s book, The Secret Language of Birds.

Mark Ryan and John Matthews, creators of The Wildwood Tarot will be there as well, teaching a workshop about their deck and delving into some fascinating spreads designed just for it.

Finally, the conference will close with celebrated author Anna Franklin as she explores the journey of initiation as it unfolds within the Tarot.

Sounds like a wonderful way to spend a weekend in London. If you’re interested, sign up soon. Tickets are going fast.

High Priestess as Temperance

The Moon moves into Sagittarius today and will be there until Monday.

Looking at it through the eyes of the Tarot, you can describe this transit as being like the High Priestess wearing Temperance’s clothing. She’s dressed like an angel.

The Moon in Sagittarius, or High Priestess in Temperance’s clothing, indicates a time when intellect, practicality, emotions and passion can work together in relative ease.

What’s normally only an idea might find its way to becoming real. Even-tempered inspiration and emotional playfulness can create what look like miracles.

Take this time to bring your emotions in line with your passions. And play with your most serious ideas. It’s in combining the unexpected that you’ll likely find gold.
