And we follow up last week's Four of Coins with the Six of Coins (Pentacles) from the Fenestra Tarot.This suit is associated with Earth, earthly concerns, money, practical matters. Literally earthy things like gardening as well. We've progressed from the stability of the four through the tempestuousness of the five to the victory of the …

Weekly Card – Four of Coins

Four of Coins. Sticking with Nigel Jackson this week, I really like this deck.The stability of the fours this time applied to material concerns. It indicates holding onto your money, not being frivolous and being secure. Often this card depicts a miserly man clinging tightly to his money, but financial stability and frugality are often …

Weekly Card – Fortitude

Fortitude, or Strength, from the Nigel Jackson Tarot. This is the first Major Arcana I've pulled in awhile. When a Major turns up, the situation is of a more important nature than the generally day-to-day things more often depicted in the Minors. The indication is a spiritual lesson, a step on the road of life. …

Weekly Card – Six of Wands

Six of Wands from the Fantastical Tarot. More wands/Fire. The Six indicates a position of victory, strength, being in command maybe. You've fought the battle in the Five, and come out on top. People will recognize your triumph, accolades are received. I'm hoping this means I will get deserved credit that a certain person in …

Weekly Card – Judgement

Weekly Card – Page of Coins

The Page of Coins from the Nigel Jackson Tarot. Ah the Pages. Young people, often bearing a message, news, a letter. In this case dealing with money or finances, but also earthy things that give us pleasure: good food, wine, material comforts, fruitful gardens. This page is studious, serious. He's that kid in high school …

Weekly Card – Six of Leviathans

Oh, I really need this right now. Six of Leviathans (Pentacles) indicates generosity, sharing of finances or resources. Help will be given. The crew is taking tea outside their leviathan, sharing and fortifying themselves. I can't imagine how this will manifest, but I will try to be open to the possibility. Things are hitting a …

Weekly Card – Eight of Engines

I recently got the Steampunk Tarot by John & Caitlin Matthews so naturally had to use it for this week's card. If you're not familiar with what steampunk is, in a nutshell it's a subgenre of sci-fi/fantasy, typically set in the Victorian era, although not necessarily in England (Cherie M. Priest's "Clockwork Century" series I …

Weekly Card – Knight of Cups

This week we have the dreamy Knight of Cups from the Hudes Tarot. He's looking all wistful and serious, maybe he's had his heart broken. The water in his cup is showing the southern ecliptic. I don't know if Hudes follows the standard Cups/Water/West; Swords/Air/East; Wands/Fire/South; Pentacles/Earth/North attributions or not. While knights often indicate movement, …
