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."

Start Digging

From the Prisma Visions Tarot, the Emperor; from the Secret Language of Color Cards, "Gold:"
          I happen to like order and structure, not so much in a military sort of fashion (too rigid), but in a way that gives me a sense of purpose.  The booklet suggests the Emperor's logic and boundaries help to maximize time and potential. That makes sense; I can only imagine what our "sketch a week" group would do if we didn't have a prompt and a time period. I would take so long to think of something to draw that I would never get around to doing anything. Like Goldilocks and her chair/bed choice, I suppose we all have a preference when it comes to rules - "too soft, too hard or just right."
          I believe the Emperor would scoff at the Law of Attraction's belief that you can think something into appearing. He would say a positive attitude combined with a strong work ethic would be more likely to have results. Being a thinker, he knows how important thoughts are, but he would advocate action behind them as well. Standing around with a hoe in my hand while dreaming of flowers won't create a garden. It's important to have a plan, but then I need to start digging.
