Tarot cards

The World

Finally there is no loner any need, everything has been done, the circle is full, a big laurel wreath encircles the person in the centre. She is light like 'The Fool', only she doesn't need to go anywhere, he was on the beginning of a journey, she has come home.

The card speaks of fulfilment on a high level, she has gone through a lot of trials to get to this peaceful state. Learning how to live in the world with all it's temptations and difficulties. Now there is balance between the elements, there is order.

Prediction: When you take this card, there is likely to be or come some kind of completion and success in your life. You can harvest the fruit of the effort you have put in.

On a spiritual level it means that there is no longer any separation between you and the world, you are one with the universe/everything. Ironically you don't want anything any more, even though you have everything now, whatever your desire was it has been fulfilled, finally it is realised that everything you need is present inside.

Finishing a karmic circle can also describe the card, you have learned what you needed to learn in this round. On the material worldly side, some kind of project has finished, and you can likely look back at it with satisfaction and a feeling of fulfilment.

Keywords: Culmination, completion, union and harmony, satisfaction, freedom.

Judgement

Judgement day is supposed to be a day where you await the doom of God, thumbs up or thumbs down. But there is a lot of joy in this picture and rightfully so, everyone raises their hands in happiness. The fall and complete disillusion has been passed, now is the time to begin anew, the 'dead' rise from their coffins and start out fresh. An arc angel calls everyone to rise.

The Christian cross of suffering is there attached to the trumpet, and I accept is as a symbol of a certain amount of experience which is necessary to pass through a layer of the human treadmill of emotions and thoughts.

The card can also be seen as completion of a karmic cycle, the lesson has been learned.

Prediction: If we detach from the biblical and religious terms, this card invites you to look and see what is good in this situation and what must be discarded. In other words you could be the Angel/God here who has to use good judgement in a matter which could include you as well as others.

Keywords: Transcendence, a new beginning, awakening, the reward for valiant inner work, reunion with God or something higher, or 'just normal' good and fair judgement.

The Sun

The sun is about creativity, abundant creativity. In our solar system the sun delivers energy and light for everything to be seen and grow, everything is created because of the sun.

On a personal level it signifies our core identity and self expression, wanting to be at the centre of everything, shine and be seen. With the sun comes our authority, but also our childish and innocent need to express ourselves.

On the card the sun is there in all it's glory, dominant but giving. Sunflowers of course are basking in the endless source of light and warmth. The child is completely open as if saying: “See me, here I am, I am beautiful”, there was never any doubt or worry in this child about it's magnificence. Thus it can be 100% open, playful; limitless self-expression.

Prediction: You can be confident about yourself, show yourself. In fact others might seem smaller than you. You are able to give and create like a child approaching others in openness. This card could also signify a child coming into the world, the creative act of making a child.

Keywords: Creativity, authority, giving, innocence.

The Moon

A dog and a Fox are howling at the moon, clearly the path is inviting them to follow it, but out of the water comes a crayfish.

The moon is about our feelings, our inner emotional life, as is the water with the emerging crayfish. Clearly it's time to examine what is deep in side us, to use our intuition, sensitivity, and visionary skills to look for the true root of any problem we may have.

What appears from the water/our emotions if often unconscious, maybe the 2 animals are afraid to follow the road, they don't know where it leads, but why are there a dog and a Fox ?

The dog is a domestic tamed animal, where as the fox is wild, free, uncontrolled. Perhaps we are asked whether we want to proceed into the unknown using our well proven skills and tested behaviour, or will we risk unleashing some of what in unknown inside us. The wild or undefined might reveal something from our past that we are afraid of, but it could also bring forward strengths and capabilities which has lain dormant so far; soft creative skills. What is unconscious inside us often has something to do with why we are here, our karma, your karma is your work.

Prediction: Now it is time to look for answers in intuition, dreams and visions. Trust in that no matter how vague it is, whatever comes from you. Stay peaceful in being fluent, changing, and very receptive. It's also a time where others could give you false messages, so trust in your own messages.

Keywords: Emotions, female energies, the unconscious, past, control versus letting go, trusting in vague answers.

The Star

A nude woman is pouring water from 2 jugs at the same time. It seems the stream is endless even though each jug only has a certain size. She is a bringer of fertility, connected to nature and it's cyclic ecosystem, like the water evaporates and comes back with rain.

Also her foot seems to be resting impossibly on the water surface. A goddess of nature, completely attuned to her element. The 8 stars and their 8 tips enumerates infinity, she is infinity, giving endlessly.

After the down fall and illusions we have suddenly emerged in the garden of Eden, connected to everything and aware of everything.

Prediction: With this card you are invited to just be. Drop all your thoughts and assumptions and sense that there are no boundaries between you and the world around you. If you are open enough you also have abundant energy, so let the old patterns drop.

Keywords: Nature, connection, endless energy, consciousness.
