Tarot Card Meanings, Our Inner Voice Tarot Card meanings arise from our inner voice. They help us put order and rhythm into life’s apparent chaos. As humans, we crave safety and order. Our minds naturally seek patterns, even in chaos, like seeing images in clouds. Often, the images we notice are the ones we need to see. Tarot divination challenges us to understand our present situation and the steps needed to move forward. Answers don’t come from outside. They come from within. Tarot card images act as triggers. They help us bypass what we avoid, confronting truths we already know but […]
Sun Scorpio: Embracing Transformation Death is an event on the wheel of Infinity Sun Scorpio, tarot card Death, illustrates the cycle of life that has little regard for individuality. It is allocated to the astrological sign of Scorpio. In the realm of Scorpio, the idea of death is not an end but a metamorphosis. We don’t cease to exist; we transition to another realm, experiencing transformation rather than termination. There are no ends—only new beginnings on the circular journey of existence. These reflections suggest that our external identity is merely a veneer for a deeper essence within. Our temporary physical […]
Sun Virgo Tarot Hermit Sun Virgo corresponds to the major arcana tarot card Hermit. Close examination of the card reveals the eyes of the Hermit are closed, symbolising answers to questions are obtained through introspection and the seeking elucidation from within. The Hermit derives resolution to uncertainty from learned personal experience, recalled through inner voice, in contradiction to relying on influences of society, media and social convention. This inner voice, according to Julian Jaynes in his book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, was the voice of Gods and ancestors commonly listened to by our […]
Leo Tarot Card Strength Sun enters Leo, tarot card Strength symbolism, Sun in Leo. Is strength accepting the fruit, or refusing the fruit? As an example of a bicameral archetype for this card, Achilles is opportune because of his reactionary, fixed, automatic responses to phenomena. We should note, however, that his character expresses wrath and anger but not hate. When presented with a phenomenon outside of himself, Achilles responds to voices from within himself. He is, to all intents and purposes, a puppet animated and manipulated by the strings of hallucinating voices of ancestors and Gods. These automatic responses are […]

Sun Enters Gemini, Tarot Card Lovers The Sun in Gemini, tarot card Lovers, represents the duality of our brain at the point of becoming conscious. The union of the Maiden and the Serpent illustrates the duality of the human brain. The figure descending from the sky represents the rise of human consciousness and self-awareness. Inspiration for my depiction of the Lovers card came from Paolo Uccello’s painting of Saint George and the Dragon. The Influence of Paolo Uccello’s Painting Upon the Lovers On a first glance at Paolo Uccello’s painting, it seems the male hero rescues the maiden from the clutches of a […]
