I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

More To It

From the Mandala Astrological Tarot, the Lovers; from the Sabian Symbols, 'Gemini 30:'

          Being a mutable sign, Gemini likes to shake things up and enjoys change. But it also is an air sign, which means that change will likely come through collecting and dispersing knowledge. Add in Mercury, associated with expression and communication, and that seems like a match made in heaven. The Lovers card is not so much about romance as it is making a connection with something or someone, like two puzzle pieces that fit together. The heart might come along for the ride, but it's only because the mind has found a match. The Sabian Symbol describes a parade of bathing beauties walking in front of a beach crowd. It warns against judging someone by outward appearances only. While there's nothing wrong with using appearance to catch someone's attention, there needs to be more to the cake than just frosting. As Lord Chesterfield expressed, "You must look into people as well as at them."

  1. Mercury goes retrograde this Saturday for three weeks. Tho I don't hold to the major dramatics of others over Mercury, there is a bit of the twins of Gemini drama.

    1. I suppose no drama is too dramatic if I refuse to participate.😊
