Interpretations in astrology and the tarot, are usually based upon how one element affects another (consciousness), with numerous combinations & co-factors as well involved (subconscious).

It is such, that one may ascertain an understanding that most affective experience is very well based upon interpretive garnishment.

The tarot cards are one such way to help gain a deeper understanding of how life functions, inseparable of ourselves.

Intelligence comes by way of a broader scope, representative of the 360 degree circular design of astrology.

Wherever one is at any moment, they as well may find themselves. The tarot acts like a mirror of the mind,  just imagine the character(s) of your thought being played out onto a screen.


Where is it that our projections end and reality begins?
(a good question for the seven of cups)

We as well watch the beginnings of projection in the will of the wands.

As in the two and three of wands, the man looks out across the oceans to see just how far it is that he can spread his wings and cover great distances, also known as goals or the setting of the sights.

The nature of fire is to spread, and with the impulsive affection of the cardinal sign (aries), it seeks outwardly to manifest itself and broaden horizons.

            Astrology employs the use of a 360 degree circle, which divides itself up into the twelve tribes of man, or simply our signs. This gives each sign 30 degrees, as 360 / 12 = 30.
It was then that each sign would be divided into a group of three, given the name decante.
(decant \di-'kant\ 1: to pour from one vessel into another  2: to draw off without disturbing any sediment)
With 36 numerical pip, or playing cards, this transfiguration works nicely.
      It was found many moons ago that all of life is made up of different components, the key was in understanding how to walk the dividing line.

     The minor arcanum, shows us the path of each element from beginning to completion. From spirit, or inspire, and desire to manifest, to the directional windings of the mind, the depth and non-rational mutations of the heart to that of unearthing manifestation.

Units working together and in oppositional friction with one to another is what remains the human struggle to exist within seasoned correlations of criss-cross polarity.
