🌟Tips for interpreting Tarot🌟

1. The most important clues may be in the background! 

In the Rider Waite Smith deck, many cards show a figure with a number of significant items behind his or her back. What happens behind one’s back is, for oneself, something unseen, shadowy, something to which one has no conscious access. This could point to the idea that the figure in the foreground is unaware of the nature or scope of their issues. You can’t grasp what you cannot see, and that can reveal a lot about the nature of the card’s meaning.

2. The color of the sky reveals a lot!

Again referencing the Rider Waite Smith deck, the color of the sky on a given card often leads to a simple but important clue for its interpretation.

3. Pay close attention to proportions!

In the image of the Four of Wands, the figures are depicted much smaller than is the case in other images; they fall short. Or perhaps they are of normal height and are painted so small in order to emphasize the comparatively huge size of the wands. This sort of thing can be found in many other cards. 

4. Court cards represent developed personalities or facets of oneself!

The Queen: impulsive, an initiator, an investigator (water type)

The King: thorough, intensive, consolidating (fire type)

The Knight: magnifying, expanding, a drawer of consequences (air type)

The Page: makes something tangible out of or with the element in question (earth type)

4. Pay attention to numbers!

Numerology can play a big role in your interpretations of the cards, especially in the Minor Arcana:

Ones (Aces): Something new with vast potential is indicated when you have many aces in your readings. They are pure energy without form - and it depends on you to shape it and bring the opportunities that they represent into fruition. Because they are raw, they are also unstable, and can very quickly overwhelm if not taking care.

Twos: Coming together in pairs is the theme of the twos, and all the complexities that this union represents. We leave the individuality of the ones, and the twos are a taste of union. 

Threes: Group dynamics rule the threes in the tarot, and they depict different outcomes that can occur when a group comes together - whether they are groups of individuals, or groups of ideas. Because it is also symbolically thought of as completion (the first polygon, the holy trinity, etc) it also indicates an initial completion of a first phase of some sort.

Fours: The fours usually indicate that some foundation has been created and is ready to grow and evolve. To grow and evolve is the key here, because though the foundation is created, there is some disappointment indicated sometimes because things may not have progressed entirely as hoped for - thus, the fours are also the universe’s way of pushing us to grow and move forward.

Fives: Change, fluctuations and conflict are represented by the fives. After the fours, the fives are amplifications of that same energy. When that energy explodes, the fives ask us to look within ourselves for a deeper reason of why to progress. To move forward and beyond these instabilities, we have to push forward.

Sixes: While the fives represent conflict, the sixes represent the movement away from that conflict into a solution, whether they are internal or external, whether that means reconciliation or letting go. They are the cards of overcoming suffering, light after the dark.

Sevens: When seeing many sevens in a reading it usually indicates that it is a time to step back and introspect. The sevens ask us to assess, and reevaluate whether the path that you are taking is what is best for you. Sometimes this is a lonely pursuit, but this period is needed to go forward with your authentic desires.

Eights: A completion of a second phase is indicated with the eights, and usually corresponds to some sort of achievement, whether in the worldly sense, or in an emotional sense. Growth either way is indicated here, and sometimes it can take place in a form where we least expected it.

Nines: Nearing completion is indicated by the nines, and this can take the form of entering a plateau of some sort. What looks like the finish line, may actually be just a transitory stage. While the feeling of completion is here, it is usually just a pause before the final part of the cycle comes.

Tens: In the tens, we see the actual completion of the cycle, that something has come to a full circle - it indicates that from this point forward, we can move towards a new beginning.  ✨🔮✨ Sources: Biddytarot, The Ultimate Guide to the Rider Waite Tarot by Johannes Fiebig and Evelin Burger, Understanding Tarot by Liz Dean

Saturday Night Live, S46E06

We have to accept with great sadness that up to 500,000,000 animals have been decimated in Australia’s widespread bushfires.⁣ We have to accept that there are humans among us in power who are hell-bent on destroying rainforest (Brazil) and other habitat across the world because of their obsession with finding that big pot of money at the end of the rainbow.

Ecologists from the University of Sydney now estimate 480 million mammals, birds and reptiles have been lost since September 2019 with the figure likely to increase substantially.⁣

The fires are moving fast in the states of Victoria and New South Wales in the last few days, killing humans, non-humans, burning down homes and habitats. ⁣

kangaroos, koalas and other animals and birds have been fleeing to escape this huge inferno,. Birds and bat's have been found having fallen from trees and found dead on the ground. ⁣

I'm not sure that humanity has the will or the ability to take action to mitigate against the impact of changing climatic conditions around Mother Earth or on the ground. The sixth mass extinction has started.

We often hear that the next ten years will be crucial in terms of the fate of our planet and all life here. Nature is seeking balance and nature will decide the destination and endgame of our existence.

Humanity, directly or indirectly is at war with nature and simultaneously at war with itself. What we do to nature we do to ourselves and our existence. We are seriously pulling apart the web of life and all that we and our non human relatives depend on for survival.

Our species is a highly irresponsible life form that is not facing up to its obligation to love and take care of nature and the home to all life. This is a priority but our politicians, world leaders and those who govern the fossil fuel industry, intensive agriculture and water resources are failing to lead on this. Financial profit over the health of the planet is the name of their game and it is fair to say that they do not care about you or I or life on Earth in general.

Our wish to live in a better more healthy world may now be unachievable. Can we really reverse the monumental damage we have done to the planet, its oceans, its land, soil and water, its atmosphere.

How much longer are we and our politicians going to sit on our backsides watching our planet being destroyed, our wildlife relatives and the natural world being decimated in front of our eyes?

World governments and people across nations need to take action to reverse climate change and global warming, to protect animals, birds, insects, marine life, plants an trees. To do this will be to strengthen support for humanity and all life. ⁣
