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."

True Center

From the Tarot of the Cat People, Temperance; from the Sacred Geometry Oracle, Human Canon:


          The swirls of color behind this woman mimic the mixing of her two pitchers (that cat must trust her steady hand to be up under them). Temperance takes two extremes and mixes them to find a middle ground. We cling so tightly to what we want and think is right, it may be hard to accept her mediation. A canon in the sphere of visual arts is a rule for proportions, so as to produce a harmoniously formed figure. For instance, a tiny head wouldn't be proportional to a large body. Temperance tries to teach the same idea: there can be no harmony where there are extremes.

Combine the extremes, and you will have the true center.
~Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
