The Devil card in Tarot is one of the most misunderstood archetypes, yet it holds profound wisdom. Traditionally, it depicts a figure of control and bondage, with two individuals trapped underneath the beast. This card represents our attachment to materialism, illusions, and self-imposed limitations. It asks us to confront the shadow aspects of our lives—the unhealthy patterns, addictions, or fears that hold us back. Yet, the chains in the imagery are often loose, symbolizing that liberation is within us once we choose to see through the illusion. On the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, the Devil corresponds to the 26th path, connecting Hod (Splendor) and Tiphareth (Beauty). This represents the journey of integrating intellect and divine harmony. Hod is the realm of logic, analysis, and communication, while Tiphareth is the radiant heart of the Tree, embodying higher truth and spiritual balance. The Devil card on this path teaches that we must confront and transcend the limiting constructs of the mind to access deeper, more profound spiritual truths. Astrologically, the Devil is associated with Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, the planet of structure and discipline. Capricorn’s ambitious, grounded energy reflects the material focus of this card, but it also carries a lesson: true mastery of the material world comes not from being enslaved by it but from learning to work within its limits with awareness and purpose.

The holidays can bring strong feelings and require us to move really fast through our world when all we want to do is retreat within and move at a pace that feels natural. It’s up to us to compartmentalize from our wounding and daily life so we can overcome our reactions and find strength. #tarot

The 9 of Pentacles speaks of accomplishment, self-sufficiency, and refinement. This deck depicts the person receiving a coin while they already have 5 with three more in the queue. They stand near well cultivated plants. This card embodies the idea of material well-being earned through discipline, skill, and self-reliance. It represents a moment of enjoying the rewards of your hard work, symbolizing a balance between the material and the spiritual. In the Kabbalah Tree of Life, the 9 of Pentacles is linked to Yesod, the Sephirah associated with the subconscious, foundation, and connection between the higher realms and the physical world. Yesod acts as the filter or channel through which spiritual energy flows into Malkuth, the material world. The 9 of Pentacles reflects the harmonization of the inner and outer worlds, where dreams and intentions take form in a tangible and satisfying way. Astrologically, this card is often associated with Venus in Virgo. Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and abundance, merges with Virgo’s meticulous and service-oriented energy to create a sense of care, refinement, and attention to detail. This is the energy of cultivating something beautiful and sustainable, with patience and devotion. The 9 of Pentacles encourages us to celebrate our achievements while maintaining gratitude and humility. It reminds us that true wealth is not just in material possessions but in the peace and confidence that comes from knowing we’ve built something of value through integrity and perseverance. It’s about finding joy in the act of creation and self-mastery.

Are you enjoying the fruits of your labor. Take time to focus on self-care and trust in the stability you’ve created. As you work towards goals understand that manifestation begins within, and this card shows what happens when we align our inner foundation with intention and effort. #tarot

The Five of Swords in the Minor Arcana, associated with conflict, betrayal, and lessons learned through challenging experiences. It symbolizes discord and strained relationships. This imagery emphasizes themes of competition, power struggles, and the consequences of prioritizing personal gain over harmony. The Five of Swords invites reflection on the ethics of victory, asking whether the price of winning is worth the damage caused to relationships and one’s integrity. Symbolically, the Five of Swords corresponds to Geburah on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. Geburah, which represents severity, discipline, and the forces of destruction necessary for balance and renewal. It is a sphere of Mars, embodying strength, boundaries, and the transformative power of cutting away what no longer serves. Within this context, the Five of Swords carries this energy in the world of Yetzirah, the formative realm of intellect, ideas, and communication. This placement amplifies the card’s association with mental conflicts, sharp words, and the need for discernment in thought and speech. The lessons of the Five of Swords reflect harsh aspects of Geburah’s influence. While assertiveness and setting boundaries are necessary, unchecked severity or dominance can lead to isolation or regret. It warns against egoist destructive behavior, impulsive decisions, or a refusal to see others’ perspectives . It also encourages introspection and self-improvement, urging us to face responsibility of our actions. Reversed, the Five of Swords signals resolution, forgiveness, or easing of tensions. It suggests moving past conflicts and recognizing the futility of clinging to pride or resentment. This reversal brings a softened aspect of Geburah, emphasizing redemption and the healing power of accountability. Overall, the Five of Swords and its placement in Geburah remind us that struggle and loss are opportunities for growth and that true strength lies in balancing severity with compassion and wisdom.

The road to success can be a winding one. If we are tempted to cut corners, it’s best to weigh out risk versus reward taking great care that the integrity of our actions not be lessened out of fear or greed. Success is sweeter when we can look in the eyes of the ones we love in truth. #tarot

The Justice card in the Rider-Waite Tarot is all about truth, balance, and accountability. The image on the card—a figure holding scales in one hand and a sword in the other—symbolizes fairness and clarity. The scales remind us of the importance of equilibrium, weighing cause and effect, while the sword represents the power of truth. This card asks us to step back and evaluate our actions, choices, and motivations. Justice is associated with Libra, the zodiac sign of harmony and fairness. Like Libra, the card encourages us to approach situations with both our logical mind and our sense of compassion. The sword cuts through illusion, demanding clarity, while the scales ask us to consider both sides of a situation. On the Tree of Life in Kabbalah, Justice connects Geburah (Severity) and Tiphereth (Beauty) via the 22nd path. This powerful path teaches us how to balance discipline with compassion. Geburah represents structure, boundaries, and sometimes the harsh lessons of life, while Tiphereth radiates harmony, love, and spiritual illumination. Walking this path means learning to integrate both energies: to embrace the hard truths while keeping sight of the beauty and growth. The 22nd path also corresponds to the Hebrew letter Lamed, which represents learning. Justice is a teacher, urging us to take life’s lessons seriously. When this card shows up, it’s often a call to look at where balance has been lost. Are you acting in integrity with yourself or others? Justice asks us to take accountability for our choices and to acknowledge the truths we’ve been avoiding. It’s also an incredible opportunity for growth. By confronting reality head-on, we invite healing and harmony. The Justice card reminds us that balance is a practice, not perfection. It’s about staying true to ourselves while striving for fairness in how we engage in the world. It encourages us to trust in the process knowing that when we act with integrity, the universe will reflect that back to us.

Justice reminds us to seek equilibrium in all situations. Are we being honest with ourselves and others? Are we taking responsibility for our well being? This card is not about punishment nor is it about excuses. It’s about finding that midway point of love within and without. #tarot #justice

The Temperance card in tarot embodies balance, moderation, and harmony. It encourages finding a middle path and integrating opposites to achieve wholeness. It is centered on patience and self-control, urging us to avoid extremes and approach life with a calm mindset. In all matters, Temperance symbolizes the blending of forces to create unity and transformation. In tarot, Temperance connects to the 25th path on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, which links the Sephirot of Yesod (Foundation) and Tiphereth (Beauty). This path, associated with Sagittarius, represents the alchemical process of transformation and balance, as well as the journey from personal subconscious desires to higher spiritual harmony. It mirrors the card’s themes of synthesis and equilibrium, encouraging the integration of opposites—conscious and unconscious, physical and spiritual—into a unified whole. The imagery of Temperance reinforces this symbolism. Often depicted as an angel pouring liquid between two cups, it represents the harmonious blending of elements. This act reflects the balance between opposites, such as light and dark, or intuition and logic. The garden below leads to a golden horizon, symbolizing spiritual growth and enlightenment, aligning with the 25th path’s focus on connecting inner transformation with divine beauty. In practical terms, Temperance often appears in readings as a sign to slow down, reflect, and practice balance in all areas of life. In relationships, it suggests harmony, compromise, and mutual understanding. In career or finances, it advises steady, mindful progress and avoiding excess. Reversed, the card warns of imbalance or impatience, signaling a need to reassess priorities and realign with a more balanced approach. Ultimately, Temperance teaches the importance of harmony, patience, and transformation. By blending the elements of our lives and walking the 25th path, we can achieve both inner and outer equilibrium, fostering peace and spiritual growth.

We sometimes find ourselves in unknown territory which can be intimidating and scary. But do not let fear overcome. Instead “love” that situation. By doing so you are actually giving yourself the love you need to power through. Love replaces fear and is the most flexible life preserver. #oracle

This card represents the emotional side of giving and receiving. It’s about healing of the inner child and how it affects your emotions. How you can learn about your healing based on your emotional state. It’s about loving and caring for others. Generosity. Giving with a pure heart without expectations. The two children here refer to nostalgia and reconnection with the past.

We can bring a lot of good from
the past and apply to the present. It’s a good time to get re-inspired about the present through past successes, hobbies and relationships. Allow the warmth of these memories to fill your heart and use that as a foundation for service to others. #tarot

Ancient Egyptians looked to the rising sun as a daily miracle as they believed that the sun died each evening and descended into the underground to rise once again with the morning. When this card appears it indicates that we are headed towards a period of great improvement and happiness. If life has been difficult know things are getting better. The change may happen rapidly and quickly or perhaps like the rising sun getting brighter and brighter as the day goes on. #oracle #tarot

Light always comes back. When the sun goes down, it is back in the morning. When clouds fill the sky, the sun still shines behind them. In times of darkness or uncertainty there are glimmers of hope. Reach for them as they pave our path to total illumination, our destiny. #oracle

The suit of swords relates to the element of air. As air transforms from its previous phase of matter-water, it becomes more loose and free floating, yet it maintains its directional form compared to that of the element of fire-its next phase. The knave- or otherwise known as the Paige is the lowest of the four court cards and has a general connotation of “messenger” and in the suit of swords it’s a faster-paced nature. In the tree of life the knave resides in the 10th Sephirah, Malkuth which is otherwise known as “the kingdom “ and relates to our base chakra and all of our physical vices and virtues. So the messaging we see here is definitely attainable. Its purpose is purely for our education (and perhaps persuasion). Don’t get overwhelmed. It’s also Black Friday, so there is a lot of advertising from today through post Christmas. It’s busy overall. Again, don’t get overwhelmed. #tarot #elementalmagic #readings #kabbalah

Stay grounded in the messaging. Alot of information is being presented today through all sources of media, it’s good to extract what is useful, educational and for the greater good, but don’t get lost in it all. What doesn’t feel right or what you are unsure of should be carefully evaluated. #tarot

I’o indicates royalty and in this deck, Divinity connecting our spiritual and physical worlds. Recognize the I’o in all. Especially those we disagree with. As imperfect beings we can forget to keep our worlds balanced. Self awareness, compassion and gratitude are essential for preservation. #tarot
