The sun shines and flags wave at the inauguration of the journey. Beginnings can occur at any age and in any circumstances, whether you are dressed in a beggar's ragged clothes or a tycoon's power suit. The world lies before you with myriad paths, possibilities and opportunities. What can you accomplish? Will you be a liberator, a tyrant, or something of little note in between? Are you overconfident? Will you listen to the advice of those that surround you? Is their advice worth listening to? Is there a cosmic plan being followed, or is this an exercise in improvisation? Much will remain unknown, and there will certainly be mistakes and regrets, but the journey has begun.

There may be disasters to come: pain to weather, monsters to fight, and dreaded truths to face. Fear of these things should not prevent you from beginning the journey. The strength of the Fool is the willingness to embrace the risk of failure; but do travel with caution. The Fool laughs with the world, while a clown is laughed at.

Anything is possible if people believe it so. Through pure willpower, determination, and a clever shuffling of the elements, the Magician unifies heaven and earth, or at least makes people believe he has. In some cases, facts only get in the way of dreams and pure imagination. In moving forward, you must be resourceful and use your skills and abilities to manifest the reality in which you want to live. You have everything you need to craft the best version of you. In much the same way as the ball moves from cup to cup, jump between personas until you find the one that is most useful for your goals. Reach for the heavens, but keep your head clear. Don't lose track of the ball yourself.

Anyone can sing the notes, but the High Priestess knows that the spaces in between the notes are just as important as the notes themselves. The superficial world demands we pay attention to the sounds of clocks ticking, cars running, and voices talking. We've become so inured to the noise and the volume that we actively run from the silence. In the silence we are alone with ourselves, and this shouldn't feel like a terrible thing. The silence is where we breathe. our unconscious raises its head, the soft inner voice speaks, and logic and pragmatism cower in the face of pure intuition. What mysteries will be revealed? What secrets will be exposed? Is someone hiding something fro you, or are you hiding something from yourself? Perhaps it is time to join the High Priestess and revel in silence in the midst of the maelstrom.

Harnessing her love and creative energies, the Empress brings forth beauty into the world. Her mind, body, and spirit are fully in tune; her warmth and inspiration spreads out, takes root in the ground and sends out an abundance of new growth. Miracles of natural beauty spring forth from the smallest seeds of thought and affection, but they will only grow if they are planted in fertile soil and cared for with love and patience. A maple tree will not grow in the desert, and a cactus will not thrive in the arctic. You must observe the conditions and carefully choose which seeds to plant. It is also possible to give too much of yourself, and it is important to recognize when you have given enough. Perhaps the time for the watering can has passed and it is time to do some pruning instead.

The statue of stone stands tall and monolithic, representing authority stability, and order. Here is the protector who, with discipline and focus, makes sure things get done. Standing high above the crowd, nothing is beyond the statue's view, and with his perspective there is a practical solution for every situation. The statue represents ideals to aspire to. However, you must remember you are a human made of flesh and blood and not an immovable piece of stone, immune to the failings and weaknesses of the living.

You may find yourself in a position of power with big decisions to make, and it is important to keep perspective and see the people that surround you. Stone cannot bend, and from the statue's vantage point it is easy to lose track of the living, breathing individuals amid the crowd. True success comes from the merging of the two points of view. The strength of stone must be combined with the flexibility of the human form.

You find yourself standing before the Hierophant in his full regalia; the symbols of tradition, authority, and power he wears echo through the years. These could be the vestment of a priest or any other form of attire signaling command and experience. He possesses knowledge and can function as a guide down paths both physical and spiritual.

You may take comfort in the structure he offers, and many will be content to simply follow his instruction, observing the trail markers and performing the liturgy without truly understanding the deeper meanings. Move beyond this to understand the symbols and ancient knowledge that surround you. These ancestral beliefs, which have provided guidance for centuries, could help you on your journey towards the future. Seek wisdom from the past without following blindly. A your awareness grows you may find yourself turning away from traditional authorities and looking instead to your own moral compass to guide yourself down unconventional, perhaps even iconoclastic, paths.

Love in all its form can be found even in the most mundane moments. Passionate relationships, deep friendships, selfless unconditional love... They are all there, simply waiting for a person to make the commitment to be connected to the people around them. It's easy to unthinkingly ride the train of life back and forth and never experience the depths of consciousness that love can bring. You are more than these daily routines and banal distractions; you must look up and consider what surrounds you. Breaking through surface mundanities requires a decision to make a commitment to action and personal engagement that will bring you to a higher level and a new experience. The love in question could be something new or perhaps an existing relationship that has fallen out of balance. Have your relationships drifted into thoughtless routines? You must commit to being actively involved in your connections, both old and new.

Victory is within your reach; the crowd is ready to cheer, and the umpire is about to wave the checkered flag. You have all that you nee to succeed. Combine the skills you've been developing for years with the resources you have at hand. Even with perfect focus and control of your assets, it will not be an easy path to success. There will be obstacles to overcome and challenges from other competitors, but, with confidence and determination, you will power yourself through to the end. However, you must remember that power without control will surely end in disaster, whether in some catastrophic accident or by simply burning up all your fuel before the finish line.

It's a violent world. Passionate conflict and open aggression present themselves at every turn, but with your strength you can tame violent forces and calm chaotic situations. With confidence, compassion, ad love you can accomplish nearly anything. At times, you may even appear to be a miracle worker. You can stop the bleeding and ind cures for the most hopeless cases. Not only this but you can also get others to join you. The greatest strength of all is to get others to believe; your self-confidence and courage shows that they too can be brave. "I can't" becomes "I can". Do not be afraid to show your strength, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional. It should not be a show show of strength simply meant to impress; it should be an aid and an inspiration.

There is peace alone on the mountaintop with nothing to distract you from your contemplation, but you can't live there. Instead, you need to find peace where you can find it. Amid the frenetic bustling of a world that wants you running here and there, distracted from the eternal by the trivial and the ephemeral, it is necessary to make time for self-reflection. Are the moments that rick past meaningful and life-affirming? Or are they spent desperately keeping track of schedules, routines, and objectives? If you find yourself feeling out of balance and out of step with the world, take the time to firmly plant your feet on the ground. With the simple act of standing still within an ever-moving society, you may begin your journey to knowledge and wisdom.

So much of the world is beyond our control that it may seem that our daily lives are decided by the spin of a wheel. You can choose to call the turns of your life fate or luck; however, it is not so much the events that occur, but what you choose to make of them that matters. All is not chaos. The Wheel repeats its cycle and you can recognize patterns. s the situation you're in or are the people you are encountering completely new? Life is a roulette, spinning and throwing things at you at random.

Raise your head and see the figures guiding the ball: the jackal of Anubis representing death, the riddle-speaking sphinx representing knowledge, and the deadly serpent Typhon bringing misfortune. See those holding the wheel, with their wisdom and stability: the winged bull, the lion, the eagle, and the angel. The results may change, but the players always stay the same, and you will learn their ways in time. Remember what worked and what didn't in the past. Recognize and pay attention to the patterns and, with this knowledge, break some of the cycles within your control. Turn a coming disaster into a blessing.

Its time for the days of dishonesty and chicanery to come to an end. Corruption and plain old monkey business have gone on long enough, and now the objective truth must come home. There will be consequences, and the agents of malfeasance will be held accountable.

However, the delivery of justice is a balancing act. There is the perfect conceptual Justice of the cosmos, but here on Earth things can get muddy, and there are no hard and fast rules. There will be complications and exceptions. Be true to yourself. Find stability and consider the purity of the universe and the grit of everyday life. Making a decision is not enough. You must take action and live with integrity. You've seen wrongs done in the past and thought it wasn't your place or the time wasn't right to intervene. The time for those rationalizations and prevarications have passed.

You may feel that life is holding you in suspension, leaving you restrained and forced to be still. You may ask, "How did I ever get myself in this ridiculous position?" You may be drowning in anxiety, chained by responsibility, and wandering, abandoned, in a desert of hopelessness. Yet it is in this position that you must trust in the universe and contemplate what you have chosen to believe. Is it a sea of worry or possibility? Are they chains of bondage or security? Is it a desert of abandonment or rebirth?

Use this period o stillness to meditate on what you meed to move forward. The ridiculousness of this position is a matter of perspective. Look beyond the typical models and patterns of the material world. It is only by refusing to take advantage of this moment of tranquility that one's position becomes truly worthy of ridicule.

Even after the end, there is someone there, standing witness and heralding what's to come.

Death is the end, but there can be so many deaths and so many endings, and really what each one signifies is a transformation. An ending of one thing forces the beginning of something else, and it is how we treat that transition that truly defines the end. It may be an ending that you have chosen or one that was forced upon you. Ends come to all things: stages of life, relationships, and careers. You can greet the end in many different ways: with pain and sorrow, wonder and excitement, stoic acceptance, or outright denial. If you look beyond this ending to what is to come there is nothing to fear. In truth, it is only in fighting the inevitable end of something that one suffers. Accept the pain that comes with an ending and accept that you have changed alongside everything else. Exit stage right with grace.

What is this lovely elixir before you, so perfectly balanced it could only be created by the angels? Every component blends together in perfect harmony, and the tranquility that spreads through your body makes you feel as if success in all aspects of your life is possible. Even dreams once thought an impossibility feel within your grasp. This is a drink that is more than the sum of its parts, and the removal of even one ingredient would make it a foul concoction completely unpleasant to consume. This drink is all about balance. It's not about the extremes on either end: it's about finding he middle point where all things are in harmony. If one part of life is in excess it means that other parts are lacking. Focus on those parts of your life where there are deficiencies. A solution can be found by adding something just as often as by subtracting something.

You've mowed the lawn, washed the dishes, and done the laundry, but have you addressed the Devil today The life in the photograph may look happy and perfect, but underneath the surface of our daily routines are our passions and vices. You may have attempted to deny them or hide them away, but they will always rise again. Your sins and weaknesses exist. The Devil must be acknowledged and addressed. Refusal to do so will result in your desires manifesting themselves in distorted and corrupted ways. You must look deep inside yourself to identify those repressed urges, and recognize whether you are dealing with them in healthy ways or allowing them to manifest in ways that trap you in a poisoned life.

Is your castle made of sand? How easily could this skyscraper that is your life come crashing down around you? Have you been putting the time and energy needed into your relationships, your career, and yourself? Or are you simply running madly, trying to hold it all together? You may be standing in the face of total destruction and scrambling - not in an attempt to hold it all together but to escape the falling rubble. But this doesn't mean that all is lost, and you certainly shouldn't delay the inevitable. This may just be an opportunity to start anew with an unburdened perspective. Our lives get filled with so many rules and habits that remain long after they have lost any benefit or purpose. What was formerly useful often becomes a hindrance if it sticks around too long. Let it fall away.

Looking at the stars you find yourself seeing ancient light from millions of miles away. This kind of vision can exist not only when gazing at the stars but also when considering your life. You can see what is to come and what must happen to get to your ideal state. This vision, combined with the nearly unlimited powers of the human mind, makes us capable of accomplishing amazing things. If your vision is blurry take the time to refresh your sight, and remind yourself of what you really want and need. Perhaps it is time to address old hurts or make some repairs to your emotional equipment. As you take this time to rediscover hope and inspiration be sure to maintain your connection to the earth and don't get lost in abstract dreams of the stars.

You have entered the realm of night where the Moon is king...It gazes down on your dreams, your desires, and your secret trespasses. All of the things that you keep hidden in the day are laid bare by the light of the Moon. You may imagine yourself as a nice, functional member of society, but the Moon knows all about the wildness that lurks with your unconscious. It sees what burrows far down in the depths of your subconscious. You must ask yourself what domestication has brought you and what fear and deception it took for you to bury those wild animals away. You have been allowing the domesticated version of yourself too much control. Embrace the complexity and confusion of the world, and throw away misunderstanding and anxiety. Pay a little more attention to things that can only be seen by the light of the Moon.

On such a sunny day filled with sweetness and light, you can feel the pure joy that you once felt as a child. The hard times have come to an end: the long night of confusion and uncertainty is over, and success in family, career, and creative endeavors is at your fingertips. You've climbed the heights of the roller coaster, and your reward is the thrilling rest of the ride. Blaze forward with confidence and vitality; you will shine brightly enough to illuminate others. Gone are the days of nervousness and anxiety around social interactions. The optimism you feel on this day cannot be denied, but it is important you not get carried away with excessive enthusiasm and unrealistic expectations. You cannot become someone new overnight, but you can be the best version of who you are.

The journey is approaching its end, and you an hear Gabriel's horn blowing. You have been through profound experiences that have changed you in ways both seen and unseen. Your old life will be put in a box and buried, but you will continue on. It is time for you to reflect on what you have done and what you have become. This is a moment of reckoning far beyond the sea of anxiety and self-loathing that has governed your everyday experience. You can stand in front of the mirror, stripped free of the trappings of the mundane world, and see yourself with clear eyes. This is the crossing of the threshold, leaving one life behind and moving forward to another. Become fully aware of yourself, and learn the lessons that you have been given. Allow yourself to be renewed and move into the next phase of life, fully awake and ready to make changes both large and small.

Now the journey is complete. You have traveled the length of the road and find yourself stepping out, exiting the buzz of the metropolis ad entering the fullness of the World, ready to begin again. Your achievements and fulfillment are undeniable. Just as the journey has found its completion so can you feel a sense of completion and wholeness in yourself. Any marks or scars from the journey are no longer seen as points of weakness or failure, but simply as parts of the whole. It is a time for celebration and dancing. You may see a new journey ahead, a new project to begin, but do not let that make you feel that you have not achieved anything or are still lacking. One thing comes to an end and another begins; it is important to acknowledge and celebrate that change. Be in harmony with the universe.

A feeling bubbles deep down inside, and you've found some others who have it too. You're not alone. You are no longer individuals: you are a mass, a movement, a revolution. But who are these people you're running with? Was it truly the same feeling that brought them here? Or was it something else? But there's no time to think. This is a new and unstoppable beast running wild. The strength of the new monster is intoxicating, and you eel the power pumping through your veins. And then you realize no one's controlling this animal, and it doesn't care who gets hurt. The beast feeds on wild emotions: anger, fear, and pride. The beast is never satisfied, and storming the castle won't be enough. The actions of this creature will not bring joy or calm, only disappointment, shame, and regret. Remember to use your head as much as your heart, and power every move with strong intent so you are never simply dragged along. Ask yourself whether you are still doing this for the sake of your cause or simply because you are unable to abandon the fight.

The master manipulator, ruthless and scheming. They turn people against each other, exploit weaknesses, and play with people's emotions to get what they want. The puppeteer will blame others, deny wrongdoing, and use guilt to control the situation. You may find yourself caught by the puppeteer, pulled this way and that or engaged in mind games with no way of winning. If kept in this position for too long, your puppeteer may not even have to do anything because you will manipulate yourself and simply think it's how things are.

If you're the one pulling the strings, convincing people that what's best for you is also what's best for them, your manipulations may begin to control you. The need for control will take priority and the prevarications and contrivances will become habits you can't break, preventing you from having relationships that provide love and support.
