For many people Tarot cards represent a way of reading your fortune. However, to me they mean absolutely different thing.
All 78 cards have a message. However, it doesn’t mean that each card is a message that the Universe is sending to you TODAY and NOW. It’s just a message, like a little story inside each card, a short fable that has moral. It doesn’t matter wether you chose a Hermit today and Ace of Pentacles tomorrow; all the cards should be read as a whole book. And I’m starting my own Tarot book.
There are some symbols of Ace of Pentacles:
- Wealthiness
- Beginning of all material resources
- The Sun as alchemical gold
- Sun and Jupiter in the II or X houses (standing for prosperity)
- Venus in the II house (standing for a chance to achieve happiness, both in material world and self-fulfillment)
All these symbols сan be found at the picture. And there is a short story.
There was a Golden dragon who didn’t know he’s golden. He asked the gods to bring him some gold so he could build a lovely dragon house and start his own happy life: find a dragoness, learn himself and become strong enough to care for his future family.
The gods granted his will and sent him… the Sun. The Sun came to the dragon, and he realized that he was gold. So, he just needed to use his treasures to create whatever he wanted. It was time to start working on building his new life.
But the Sun was getting bigger and bigger, and our dragon got shinier and shinier and looked smaller than the Sun. At this moment, he realized that the world and its treasures are SO big that he couldn’t accommodate them all, but what he already had was enough for him. If he took more, he would be unable to hold them and would become a slave of the gold. So, he didn’t try to take over the Sun.
The dragon got ready to start his new journey, but he didn’t know where to go. Then the Sun lightened the arch to the other world, meaning whatever you go, you’ll end up there. So, it doesn’t matter what exactly to do; your way will be full of light and gold because YOU ARE light and gold. Just go!
And our dragon started his journey…
