Well fancy that! As I'm pulling my card of the day from the spellbindingly beautiful Deviant Moon Tarot, contemplating the fact that Mercury is forming a square with Saturn, two cards fall out of the deck: 6 of Swords (Mercury in Aquarius) and 8 of Pentacles (Sun in Virgo). Saturn is currently retrograde in Virgo. Another of life's little synchronicities...
Yesterday, after I'd been blogging about The Fool/The Source, I went to my Facebook account where I noticed that only the night before I'd made a comment in Tarot artist Amy Zerner's photo album where she had posted a picture of the Fool from the Enchanted Tarot. I'd written "2009 will be all about the Fool space." Heehee!
So what are these two cards telling me this morning? I have a new project in the pipeline and I'll have to buckle down to channel my imagination into an endeavour that can be made physically manifest. This project involves the visual arts - thankfully I'm not the one responsible for that side of things, but will be working closely with a talented artist friend.
I pulled a further card to clarify what I need to do to pace myself and pull this off: The Emperor. I need his fiery organisational skills to do this. The timing must be perfect as my progressed Mars is in Aries - I'm feeling a lot more fiery than I have in the past. The days of dreaming are gone. The days of planning and doing are here.
The visual detail that I noticed the most in these three cards is the big hot air balloon, carrying the deviant moon citizen across the waters, high above the face of the world. Such a brilliant concept for an Air Element card! He will only complete his journey if he has enough fuel to keep the boat aloft...Speaking of the Deviant Moon Tarot... I have a birthday coming up and decided to treat myself to a print of the Moon card by Patrick Valenza, the incredibly gifted creator of this deck. I have a whole progressed stellium in Pisces at the moment, and was born a Piscean moon sign...
