The World

The WorldThe laws of the universe state that every end is a beginning of something else. Although we have achieved our goal regarding the issue at hand, we still need to move forward and not stop at what was achieved so far. If we stop moving forward we will stop developing and start moving backward.

The World card indicates coming full circle, completion of processes, successes and wholeness. In this card we are mature and view the world with a wide, proportional view -seeing both our immediate and extended surroundings. We manage well in life and are not chained or tied down to a single idea, framework or person. We do what is genuinely right for us.

But at the same instant the card also deals with the question “what now?” regardless of our achievement and the positive state we are in, we must not forget that tomorrow is yet another day in which we need to continue learning and developing. If we do not do this and simply rest on our laurels, our progress will get blocked and we will start moving backward.
We need to understand that wholeness is not just a goal together with the good feeling and rest we get after achieving it. True wholeness is a way of life: daily, never ending work on self development and improvement. True wholeness is the actual process we go through on our quest to achieving wholeness.

Judgment

JudgmentThe laws of the universe determine that processes need time to come into fruition and cannot be rushed. Assuming that we are active regarding the issue at hand, we need to be patient and wait for positive change while being aware of the process that is taking place. Our awareness of the process is the active part we are playing.

The Judgment card indicates that although thus far we were inactive regarding this issue we are now facing awaking, change, step forward, and even a rebirth regarding the issue at hand.

Assuming we have been active and continue to act regarding the issue at hand, the card explains that there are no shortcuts we can take, and that we must let time play its course. It is important to understand that this is a card of changes, changes that come into being out of internal maturity and insights we learn about life.

The change we are wishing for will happen by itself -there is no way to harry it. When the right time comes we will complete the process of our internal change. After our awakening we will reach a genuine place in our lives, understand what is right for us and rediscover ourselves.

  Supportive Obtrusive
Relationships  Falling in love, new beginnings, understanding we are in the right direction and waiting patiently for the next stage.  Lack of maturity, impatience, difficulty to sober up and see the situation as it really is.
Career  Change of attitude, renewal, understanding we are in the right direction and waiting patiently for the next stage.  Tendency to wait for something that will never come, fear of changes, not willing to see the truth.

Areas of particular relevance:
Enlightenment, awareness, discovered truth, change, new perception, rebirth, surprises.

The Sun

The SunAfter we have resolved our issues, the laws of the universe state that this is the time to be whole with who we are and be unconditionally happy. But we must be cautious not to get addicted to the issue at hand and sacrifice other important things in our lives.

The Sun brings us to the time point after all the issues raised by the Moon have been resolved and therefore we are ready for abundance and happiness. The sun is the source of life, where it shines its rays there is life.

The card represents simplicity, honesty, happiness, prosperity, success, abundance and happiness. It indicates that we are doing well with regards to the issue at hand and that it has turned into the center of our world. But that being said the card can indicate that we have a tendency to be dazzled by it, which leads to unbalance: because the issue at hand becomes our focus we lose interest in other areas, including those that are central to our lives.

The card calls upon us not to get addicted to the issue at hand but rather strike the right balance among the different areas of our lives, just like they were before dealing with the issue at hand.

  Supportive Obtrusive
Relationships  Love, falling in love, being ourselves within a relationship, female attraction to a male.  Addictions, luck of proportions, neglect of other areas in life, childishness.

The Moon

The MoonThe laws of the universe state that we carry emotional baggage from our past, and it sometimes takes over our lives and runs it without our knowledge. To get back in control we need to take a journey into our subconscious, potentially using professional help, and solve our issues.

The Moon indicates that we face a period of uncertainty and lack of stability in our lives. We are confused, distressed, feel helpless and seek a way out. It is important to understand that the key to our problem lies in the fact that we carry emotional baggage from our past that manages our lives without our awareness and without our consent.

The Moon calls upon us to understand that the tough period we face will not disappear by itself and that we need to actively solve our problem –especially so since the situation is unbearable. We need to disperse the fog that shrouds the issue at hand and remember that most times the source of the problem is emotional and that we tend to blow things out of proportion. We need to understand that we need help and need to find some structure in which we can communicate, express our feelings and organize our thoughts. This personal work will lead us in the right direction and eventually it will resolve the issue.

  Supportive Obtrusive
Relationships Readiness for a stable relationship, good time for love. Tendency for being over emotional, fears and doubts, uncertainty, hardship and depression, fear of losing, unhealthy relationship with the mother.
Career Good intuition Fears and doubts, fear of failure, acting from an unbalanced state, fear of losing one’s job.

Areas of particular relevance:
Mother, negative influence of the mother, psychology, depression, emotional distress.

The Star

The StarThe laws of the universe state that there is place in our lives for honesty, innocence and love. This actually was the first state in which we started our lives -but then worries, fears and hardship entered our lives and things changed. Going back to this place is not easy! We have to heal ourselves via self cleansing and contending with the same topics that hurt us the most.

Appearance of the Star indicates that the issue at hand is supposed to bring us to a state in which we love who we are and what we do. As kids this is exactly how we started our lives but then worries, fears and hardship entered our lives and things changed. Now, we find ourselves worried that something about the issue at hand will go wrong – leading to an unbalanced state from which things can only go downhill.

To reach an ideal state of being, we first need to take care of those things that obstruct and obscure our way in life. We need to open our very own personal Pandora’s box, take out the dirt and cleanse ourselves. We need to courageously confront our fears, problems, and painful memories and talk about what is bothering us. To resolve our problems we need to be pure and honest about ourselves.

The Star is a very optimistic card full of hope, love, happiness and success. Most of all the Star signifies purity, honesty and innocence.

  Supportive Obtrusive
Relationships  honesty, openness, true love, trust, willingness to develop a deep and honest relationship.  Being naïve, failing to act according to the rules of courtship.
Career  Willingness to help and support others, forward thinking, honesty, trustworthy employee or employer.  Over-optimism, tendency to quickly trust others and get disappointed.

Areas of particular relevance:
Love and courtship, innocence, honesty, a hidden secret

The Tower

The TowerThe laws of the universe urge us to check the foundation before moving forward with the rest of our project -or else we might face problems. If, however, we lay the groundwork correctly, if we get down into details and prepare ourselves for all potential problems, we will avoid, or reduce, hardship down the road.

The Tower calls upon us not rush forward. It instructs us not to make any obligations right here and now: not to buy that car, not sign that contract, etc.
The card clearly indicates that something is amiss with the issue at hand and that we need to methodically check it out. This is the perfect time to read the small print in the contract, to consult with an attorney, accountant or appraiser, or simply get insured.

The Tower warns us that we might experience some bumps down the road but if we lay a solid foundation we these bumps will only make us stronger. Furthermore, if we do our homework right and tie all the loose ends we might avoid the bumps altogether.

The Tower suggests to build a strong mutual basis with significant others, family members and friends. It also calls upon us to develop our personality -for example by engaging in various hobbies. This will allow us to develop a fuller and stronger personality, as well as a spiritual, stable and balanced life.

  Supportive Obtrusive
Relationships _  Rush forward, be impulsive, get into sexuality too early in a relationship, or just base the whole relationship on sexuality.
Career  _  Tendency to take too many risks, not tie the loose ends, problems from our past reappear and cause hardship, trusting the wrong people, not spreading our risks, not keeping reserves where needed.

Areas of particular relevance:
Failures due to haste, loose foundation, sexuality, divorce, monetary losses

The Devil

The DevilThe laws of the universe state that where there is no light darkness governs. Without truth we will get lies and neglect, we will surrender to urges, get carried away and lose control. This is a warning sign – in order to succeed we need to follow our inner truth.

When the Devil shows up it serves as a clear warning sign. It usually indicates that we live a lie and act out of the wrong reasons. We get addicted, surrender to urges, instincts and passions and let these rule us and control the issue at hand. As a result we start to lose control of our actions and our lives. Our environment is not supportive and can even be destructive causing the situation to further deteriorate.

The Devil deals with neglect and shows that we have neglected the issue at hand and whatever is most important to us in our lives. It indicates that something very important to us is not coming into being -a certain truth we have not expressed. As we neglect that which is most important to us we will come across additional temptations and face tougher lessons, this in turn will attract misguiding influences and wrong persons into our lives.
We must stop this devastating circle, listen to our heart and bring into being those things and ideas in which we believe – as explained in the Hierophant.

  Supportive Obtrusive
Relationships  Sexual attraction  Shallowness, acting out of urges, relationship based on sexuality, addictions, lies, lack of authenticity, temptations, unfaithfulness.
Career  _  Exploitation, surrender to material temptations, getting bad advice, work addiction, harmful romance in the workplace, bad influence.

Areas of particular relevance:
Sexuality, urges, lies, temptations and unfaithfulness, bad consultants

Temperance

TemperanceThe laws of the universe state that faith is the source of abundance. We need to overcome doubt and believe in our ability to act. Only this way will we create change, mitigate dissimilarities, overcome differences and succeed.

Temperance symbolizes abundance and success and shows that despite our natural skepticism, we have the power to induce change: to merge areas which have no connection, to bridge gaps that seem unbridgeable, to connect contradictions to generate something new and introduce success in everything we touch.

Temperance is a card of faith and in this case faith can indeed create a reality. We become aware of new opportunities and they seem to open up before us where nothing existed before. In order for us to succeed it is crucial that we believe that our goal is achievable. We need to remember that we already acquired all the ingredients and have the basis for success – we posses all tools and required skills. All that is left to do is believe in ourselves, put the onus on us – so success will solely depend on our actions – and act!

  Supportive Obtrusive
Relationships  Overcoming difficulties, love, faith in the other side, moving to the next level, good sexuality.  Lacking faith in the potential of a current or future relationship, fear that differences cannot be bridged.
Career  Promotion, willingness to act for a cause, overcoming difficulties and finding solutions, reaching goals. Imbalance, lack of self confidence, feeling the task at hand is too difficult and unreachable.

Areas of particular relevance:
Wedding, partnership, problems that seem to solve themselves

Death

DeathThe laws of the universe say that life is dynamic and full of change. We must not be afraid of changes, however, but learn how to rejuvenate ourselves as they happen. Life is short and we need to make the most of it.

Life is a dynamic process and is full of changes. Although we might be afraid of these changes we need to understand that they are the essence of life –changes allow us to improve, succeed and in short – to live!

Death calls upon us to ask ourselves whether we can make the necessary changes in life? Are we strong enough to cut out of our lives that which is no longer needed? What hinders our growth and development? And finally, can we make a true change? If the answer to the latter is positive we need to act now and make the change. We need to check what is over and let go of it – releasing it from our lives. If we clear our lives we will free up space for new things to enter.

In addition, the card reminds us that death awaits us. Life is short and we need to live fully, to enjoy and make the most out what we are given.

  Supportive Obtrusive
Relationships  Enjoying life, having fun, good sexuality.  Inability to eliminate disturbing past events, fear of risk-taking, difficulty to enjoy life.
Career  Readiness for changes, enjoying work, belief in self, going all the way for goals we believe in.  Being afraid to initiate and act, fear of change, adherence to the past.

Areas of particular relevance:
Changes, sexuality, endings and new beginnings

The Hanged Man

Hanged ManThe laws of the universe declare that in order to succeed in one area we need to sacrifice another. We also need to change our natural tendency and even act the part of a role model in a certain area until it becomes a second nature.

The Hanged Man indicates apprenticeship and hard work. It teaches us that sometimes we need to sacrifice one area of our lives in order to success in another. The card shows that we need to focus on our goal while rising above the daily humdrum. But it is also important to understand that in order for us to succeed we need to make an internal change –we need to change our nature and our perspective. For example, if we want to get in shape we need to sacrifice sleep, get up early and exercise. But our natural tendency is to get up late –change will not come until we internalize the new behavior and do it naturally.

Sometimes in order for us to succeed we need to learn to act the part and become the perfect role model in a particular area. At work we need to become the perfect employee, at home -the perfect lovers, etc. We might initially feel artificial and forced but over time we will become who we want to be and reach our goal.

  Supportive Obtrusive
Relationships  Willingness to sacrifice for our relationship.  Feeling the victim, feeling that we are giving without receiving, taking blame.
Career  Loyalty, high work standards, willingness to sacrifice so we can succeed.  Lack of satisfaction, giving up too much, bitterness, feeling that the rewards are not worthy of our efforts.

Areas of particular relevance:
Apprenticeship, willful sacrifice
