Tarot Deck Review: The Oracle of the Radiant Sun - askAstrology

But I’m thinking I shouldn’t use oracles two weeks in a row! I’m starting to have tarot withdrawal! The picture on this card is trippy: A happy gremlin riding lips surrounded by swords and a star caught in a spider web! All I can think of is concentration is ignoring the gremlin to concentrate on the star/idea one has already caught. I’m glad I will gain the potential for concentration. I seem to be losing that recently. The book is rather comprehensive and not very large, which means the text is very, very small. All cards get two or more paragraphs of text. The second or last paragraph includes the interpretation. Below is the interpretation for the Sun in Aries: For the Sun in Sagittarius ‘Enthusiasm’ pictured above, the card image description reads, “A bright intelligent head haloed by the sun sits at the top of a traditional alchemical jar. Within a jar, a figure floats among the stars, sun and moon.” The Jupiter in Aries ‘Enterprise’ artwork also pictured above is described, “The hand diagram of the chiromancers shows the complete set of planetary qualities. Jupiter’s nature in palmistry is to denote the achievement of enterprise and ambition, where full use is made of all talents available. The acorns are simply the seeds of potential.” The Health card rules health and also work as stated above. If you selected the HOUSE card it could indicate that a family member is involved. If the card was the FOX this can suggest something is wrong in the areas depicted by 6th House. FOX is also about strategy so a restructuring could be going on …and so on. The theme of the reading would revolve around this although not every house card will tie in perfectly. The theme is a major highlight. Any of the months could expand on it.So what happened? I sat down at my desk today and started doing the spreads included in the book. As is often the case, cards look different laid out in spreads. Or maybe it’s just that I look at them differently. In any case, seeing them in spreads and reading the explanation for the artistic choices made on each card changed everything. Suddenly, the artwork that I thought was “meh” came to life and I managed to get my head around what I was looking at. All of a sudden I thought they were brilliant. Interesting. I think I said this before for this card in another reading, but. I need to trust my intuition but not put complete faith in any idea that pops into my head. Temperance indeed. What could possibly be the reason for the Excitement card? It looks like the month of July will be very busy. Mercury rules communication. This is a very social card promising a busy social calendar. The downsize of the Mercury in Gemini is female L may change her mind at the snap of a finger.

As an astrologer, I was dubious about what the cards could do when I first got them. I have come to love their imagery and the many ways to work with them. The sample year readings provided are great and useful for working with clients as a complement to progression, transits and solar return readings. I have also used them working with a client to pin down an ascendant or moon placement when they aren’t sure of their birthtime. I cannot recommend these cards highly enough for Tarot readers, practiced or astrologers-in-training, those curious about planetary and house meanings or simply lovers of beautiful objects! All of the majors feature quotes from the Gnostic text known as ‘The Thunder, Perfect Mind’. On Choice there is ‘Whatever I will happens to me’. These fit so well with the 22 cards. There is also a key word at the bottom of the card for each major, here: ‘Passion’. Moon in Pisces: Empathy. Above, in a charming country scene with a winding river, a child pets a large dog, the two enjoying just being together. Below, a golden-bird ornament symbolizes the spirit image linked to the material - gold. The ear represents an openness to calls for help."Week 4: Egotism. Mars in Leo. This card represents L’ s overall attitude. She will be a bit more assertive than usual. She may have to take the role of leadership. Sometimes my feelings overcome my common sense. As we learned in Mary Greer’s intuition class, you have to trust your intuition, BUT not everything that pops into your head is trustworthy. Mars in Cancer: Quarrel. Two mounted figures squabble over a gold ring symbolizing betrothal. This image concerns families united or divided over relationships or inheritances. The classical busts glare at each other, reminders that this has happened before." I need to make sure I know the difference between what’s good and bad for me, as in the Exaltation card.

Flamboyant self-expression. I avoid real drama at any cost, but I can be a bit dramatic in normal life, just because it’s fun! And it’s a way to express myself.The Elemental Tarot was the first major offering from the husband and wife team, John Astrop and Caroline Smith. It was published originally in 1988 by Doubleday and became out of print around 1990. There was a second print done by Connection Books around the mid-nineties, and although essentially the same there were some differences in how the cards were presented, and I feel, quality on the artwork. When dealt with in a reading, this card shows that the opinions and wishes of others do not easily sway the questioner and indicates a strong determination to maintain his or her own course in life. The card reveals that the enquirer has a clear vision of what he or she wants and knows how to achieve it. It also indicates the need to work harder and longer than most to achieve success and the respect of others. The danger when this card appears is of acting on impulse.

Each card has a yellow card image, flanked by the House number and keyword title in bold with the planet and sign underneath on one side and the relevant symbols and the keyword for the planet and the sign on the other. Beneath in italics is a description of the card illustration which really helped me to connect with the cards. Next, presented in two columns below is the information about the card. Firstly, information is given from a personal perspective ie how someone with Saturn in Aries would present. This is followed by a paragraph on ‘when this card is drawn in a reading’ and finally there’s a section titled ‘Events’ which suggests potential events linked to the placement. This oracle system boasts seven distinct suits, each representing a crucial planet as it navigates through the astrological zodiac. By exploring the significance of the planets in the twelve astrological houses and zodiac signs, you will gain an in-depth understanding of their meanings and how they apply to your life. Use critical thinking. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Use Mercury and Mars: figure it out and act! Well, I’m not excited that I’ll need physical endurance, but I’m glad I’ll have it. Maybe it means better general health as a get older. That’s a kind of endurance!Venus in Sagittarius: Flirtation. A travelling minstrel serenades a beautiful young huntress. The lute symbolizes the pleasure-loving nature of Venus, and the bow the far-seeking adventurousness of Sagittarius."
