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."

Arguments from the Heart

From the PetraK Tarot, the Five of Wands; from the Astrodice, 'Jupiter/Aquarius/1st House:'
The Five of Wands isn't so much an aggressive fight as it is an assertive argument about why doing things one way is better than others. The posts in this painting and the winding pathway between them remind me of a job interview or (as I just had to do for a submission) a list of questions that must be answered satisfactorily before moving on to the next step. The Astrodice combine the expansiveness of Jupiter with the humanitarian side of Aquarius and puts both of these in the 1st House of Self (what makes us each unique). Trying to bargain with a self-centered viewpoint rarely makes a good impression, but a sincere expression from the heart along with a desire to help others might make a difference.

  1. Aquarians, are very idealistic and know what it takes to make this a better world, aahhh at least from their viewpoint. In comes the debate of the Five of Wands.
