The seven of cups ...
Thank you, Ffosse - as someone who regards herself as fairly down to earth and practical, this has given me food for thought.

Re: The Tarot thread

Its funny but since having my card I've not stopped thinking about it so much of it seems relevant to me or perhaps its my interpretation. Really interesting though

Today's card: The Knight of Wands





He is shewn as if upon a journey, armed with a short wand, and although mailed is not on a warlike errand. He is passing mounds or pyramids. The motion of the horse is a key to the character of its rider, and suggests the precipitate mood, or things connected therewith.

Divinatory Meanings:
Departure, absence, flight, emigration. A dark young man, friendly. Change of residence.


Reversed: Rupture, division, interruption, discord.


Additional meanings:
A bad card; according to some readings, alienation.


Reversed: For a woman, marriage, but probably frustrated.

Today's Tarot: The Tower




The Tower is evidently a card indicating disaster. The picture shows that clearly. But what leads to the disaster?

One legendary tower explains it - that of Babel, surely inspiring both the image and the meaning of the Tarot Tower card. Babel was built to reach heaven. This megalomania angered God, who crushed the tower completely - and made people strangers to one another, so that they would never be able to get together and repeat the feat.

The flash from the dark sky on the Tower card image is God's anger, and the people who fall from its height are punished for their hubris, comparing themselves to God by wanting to reach his abode. The crown thrown off the top of the tower is the symbol of utter human vanity. Great plans invite great failures. If the plans are too great, failure is certain. We invite it by aiming far too high.

On the other hand, what's the point of being human if not pushing the limits, aiming as high as we can ever imagine? If we never did, we would still be running from sabre toothed tigers somewhere in the wilderness. Our fantasy compels us to pursue our dreams. Sometimes it leads to disaster, as shown by the Tower Tarot card, but sometimes to wonderful success. So, how can we stop ourselves?

Re: The Tarot thread

Oh dear, that is NOT a good card.
The Tower of destruction - Maybe an indication of some trying to cause upset.

Re: The Tarot thread

You have to decide on the best judgment today.
Who is right and who is wrong. It is difficult for you to make this choice, as in your heart you feel one thing, and yet in your head, you feel another. Think carefully. As your decision cannot be undone.

Re: The Tarot thread

Ah righty ho .
Thing is, I haven"t any things I have to ponder today.
