Tarot and Astrology
With
the Age of Aquarius approaching, we must ask ourselves how we, as individuals,
contribute to society, and how we, society as a group, can make an impact
on our future.
For many people, aspects of the material world have left a light shining
in on the abyss of the spiritual side of life. Calling attention to
this void, we can observe a shifting of social values on both the micro
and macro cosmic levels.
Whether it be through the latest discoveries in science, philosophy
or religious teachings, we are searching for the same thing; we are
synthesizing varied doctrines in the hope of extracting shared kernels
of truth. When we allow ourselves to let go of our ego-centered needs
and drives, we are simultaneously creating a space in our psyches where
we can travel to higher planes of consciousness. Accessing answers that
already lie within each and every one of us, we are able to delve deeply
into the mysteries of our lives.
Exploring esoteric knowledge requires availability to receive information
through channels of communication that challenge the concrete mind. One
must embrace this territory -- and allow it to elevate our spirit to higher
levels of being. Astrology and Tarot cards, considered to be part of the
occult sciences, stand firmly both alone and together offering wisdom
through awareness.
The science of Astrology allows us to objectify our human qualities and
behaviors, put them under a microscope, and make ourselves intangibly
visible. When we can understand ourselves better, it is then when we can
understand the dynamics we help create with other people in our everyday
life.
The interplay that is present during a Tarot card reading stems from
an intuitive level and the shared energies between the participants.
These artfully created cards are pictoral images of human energies that
are used as tools to stimulate our intuition in relation to our emotional
and spiritual state of mind at that particular moment in time. Combining
elements of Kabbalah, numerology, art and astrology Tarot cards help
unfold answers to questions that our subconscious mind keeps under lock
and key.
Why are some people drawn to each other at first sight? Why do some people
seem to be irritants without ever having spoken a word? Why do some relationships
seem to be effortless and others feel like a roller coaster ride? Hidden
forces are at work, and we are merely acting out the roles we were given
at birth. By interpreting astrological signs, planets and the relationships
involved, we hold the key to the door of understanding and deeper truths.
It is always free will that determines on which side of the door we are
standing when the lights come on.
