The Times New Tarot: The King of Cups

I usually don't discuss the personal aspect of my readings but this evening, I asked what the nature of my personality/soul truly is. I know myself very well, so I was curious to see if the Tarot would align with my own beliefs. I won't get into that specifically but this is how I traditionally read the King of Cups:

• Loving
• Honest
• Gentle
• Composed
• Emotionally sound
• Balanced Male/Female energy
• Compassionate
• Healer

• Caring
• Mentor/Teacher/Parent
• Unselfish
• Hesitant to ask for help

The Times New Tarot: Seven of Cups

As I was studying the Rider Waite Tarot deck the other day, I thought to myself that I rarely pull the Seven of Cups. This was surprising to me because as with most INFJ personality types, I have the tendency to live in my own head. Sure enough, the Seven of Cups was the card that I selected this evening.

• Temptation
• Choosing among many options
• Overindulging
• Having your head in the clouds
• Focusing on fantasies
• Dreaming
• Illusions
• Wishful thinking
• Addiction
• Possibilities
• Hidden agendas

The Times New Tarot: WHEEL of FORTUNE

The card that I pulled for my 26th birthday is WHEEL of FORTUNE! In recent memory, I don't recall ever getting this one but I'm very happy about it! :)



via aeclectic tarot:

With Jupiter as its ruling planet, the Wheel of Fortune is all about luck and change. The wheel symbolizes completeness as well as the rise and fall of fortunes and the message that what goes around comes around. Almost every definition of this card indicates abundance, happiness, elevation, or luck; a change that just happens, and brings with it great joy.

As much as the Tarot is about what a querent can do to change their life or self, there are cards that admit that sometimes you just get lucky. Sometimes things happen to you over which you have no control, and you rise of fall on that turn of the wheel.

This is the card about how we sometimes find ourselves soaring up or down on life's Ferris wheel. The Wheel can mean movement, change or evolution, and in that respect it can be about how we all change positions, some of us rising some of us falling, some dropping to a nadir, some reaching a zenith.

Most of the time, however, this card suggests that such changes will bring with them good fortune. The person you're reading for is going to get that money, that job, that promotion, that marriage proposal, that break they've been waiting for. Call it karmic payback for all the good things they've done in life - destiny or just luck - but whatever lotteries are out there, large or small, they've just won one.
