Hmmm. Pretty sure the Light of Consciousness would involve actual awareness and not being a self-centered zillionaire.

Ugh. I don’t do the maths, but can anyone figure out how many school lunches or beds for homeless vets equal the $$$ wasted in this “unscheduled rapid disassembly “? I’ll wait…

That’s a good distinction between the two. I rather get The Death card any day lol!

That’s an excellent take on this! I kind of feel The Tower is like The Death card with clearing things away to allow for possibilities. Perhaps The Tower card is the active process and The Death card is the result/outcome? I’m def going to do some deeper digging on this. Thanks!

This new year is beginning with a nice gradient into change, not a checklist of resolutions. Seems more elegant and sustainable.

Bear with me #tarotsky, I am starting some exploration of tarot cards (maybe coming up with a deck eventually) and had an unusual question for the blueskyers on here:

Is there anything humorous or quirky about The Tower card? Anything ever surprise you about it?

Thanks in advance! 🩵🦋🩵

I pulled the Death card at the end of a reading about change… how perfect, right? But it has sent me on such a journey as this year passes. I remembered a song that seems to contain some healing I need as I prepare to say goodbye to the year 2024.

This Michigander loves seeing his wonderful posts, but damn, makes my heart ache for what could have been. Carmel corn instead of condescending misogyny. 😭

A very Happy Solstice to all! Winter’s harsh reign is no match for the Sun. There is beauty in the darkness, but oh how I celebrate the return of the light! Wishing you peace.
