So, I dived into this whole Tarot thing, specifically the Golden Dawn’s take on how planets line up with the cards. Let me tell you, it’s been a trip.
First off, I started digging around for anything I could find on Tarot and its connection to astrology. I mean, I know a bit about the zodiac, but Tarot was pretty new to me. I watched a bunch of videos and read through articles, trying to get a handle on the basics. It felt like learning a new language, to be honest.
Then, I got my hands on a Tarot deck. I figured I couldn’t really get into this without actually touching the cards. I started with the Major Arcana because that’s where the planetary stuff comes in. The Fool, The Emperor, The Star – each card has its own vibe, its own story.
- The Fool (Uranus): This one’s all about new beginnings and freedom. It felt right to start here, you know, jumping into the unknown.
- The Emperor (Aries): This card is about ambition and taking charge. I spent a day just reflecting on what that means for me, where I’m trying to take control in my life.
- And so on… I went through each of the Major Arcana, one by one.
I started matching up the cards with their planetary or zodiac signs. It was like putting together a puzzle. Uranus with The Fool, representing that leap into something new. Aries with The Emperor, all about that drive and ambition. It was wild to see how these ancient symbols could line up with traits and energies I recognized in myself and the world around me.
I’ve been keeping a journal, noting down my thoughts and how each card’s energy might relate to what’s going on in my life. It’s not about predicting the future or anything, but more about seeing things from a different perspective. Like, when I pulled The Star (Aquarius), it got me thinking about hope and where I’m finding inspiration these days.
Honestly, this whole Tarot and planetary correspondence thing has been more than just a hobby. It’s become a way to reflect, to look inward. I’m not saying I’m an expert now or anything, but it’s definitely opened up a new way of thinking for me. And hey, it’s a pretty cool conversation starter, too.
My Takeaway
This journey has shown me that there’s a lot more to Tarot than just cards. It’s about connecting with something bigger, understanding the energies around us, and seeing how they play out in our lives. It’s been a real eye-opener, and I’m excited to see where this path takes me next.
