This week I'll be using the Tarot of the Absurd, created and self-published by Jessica Rose Shanahan. I'll also be using another self-published deck, the Post-psychedelic Cyberpunk by Masha Falkov. The draws for today are the Nine of Cups and the Virus:
Shanahan uses a flexible genie to illustrate her 'wish card.' Such elasticity suggests that learning to adapt to whatever life throws our way could be a great tool in finding contentment and delight. Having rigid expectations are a reliable way to end up frustrated and disappointed. On the other hand, being versatile can open other avenues and opportunities. The Virus implies a host has been invaded and is now under its influence. The host might be a body or a computer, but the most common is the mind. It happens when we unintentionally let a thought or belief inhabit our head, and then we go off the rails (and no contentment will be found there). The only solution is a virus scan, also known as mindfulness, which allows us to be aware of what is running loose in the mind and dismantle it with logic.
