Tarot Card of the Week: May 29 – Jun 4, 2017
White Tiger Nine
Life may be catching up with you this week as the White Tiger Nine sweeps in with the promise of… well perhaps a change in your luck and not necessarily for the better.
This is the Feng Shui Tarot’s version of the Nine of Swords, which is known as a card of struggle and strife. From the image on this card you can see that the path before you is not a straightforward one, albeit that you are not in the flames, you are nonetheless walking a very fine line between things going ok and things taking a turn for the worst.
Keep this in mind if you have anything big to do this week, and don’t try to push for more than you naturally believe you deserve and even then you may wish to push for a bit less than that.
A white tiger is a rare creature and if you are feeling as if the world is against you this week then bear in mind that you are perhaps a little out of your depth when it comes to the direction you are seeking to take and that the path will not be easy.
If you look in the background of this card there is a reminiscent scene from Gone With the Wind in which people are running from something and a horse is rearing its front legs as if in fright.
Tarot Card of the Week: Wheel of Fortune
Tarot Card of the Week: Feb 8, 2016 – Feb 14, 2016
Wheel of Fortune
This week you may be looking at the ups and downs in your life and thinking about how they’ve led you to where you are today. The Wheel of Fortune card is associated with fate, destiny, “karma,” life cycles and both good and bad luck.
Sometimes we blame ourselves for the down times (assuming we’ve “brought it all on ourselves”) while viewing the up times as outside of our control.
We all experience these up and down cycles — and we all try to maximize the former while minimizing the latter. But the Wheel of Fortune — this version from the beautiful Feng Shui Tarot — tells us that both are necessary and that the good times wouldn’t be good without the frame of reference of the not-so-good times.
The Wheel in this version is balanced between solid ground and turbulent waters. Four colored lanterns — representing the four elements (fire, earth, wind and water) — keep it suspended in midair.
The Wheel of Fortune is tied to “luck” and you may see yours turning this week with a night sky lit up with planets — Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto — and the New Moon in Aquarius, the sign related to sudden change and unexpected events.
