The Moon reminds us that reality is not always what it seems at first glance.

In
a world of appearances and illusions, the best course is often charted by one's
own intuition. The Moon is also the card of dreams, desires, and of course,
sleep - Death's nightly ritual.

Death is the card of becoming. It signifies an imminent and difficult transition -


the conclusion of one phase of life and the beginning of another. Inevitably,
something gets lost during the transformation, but something else will rise to
take its place.

The Hanged Man is the card of sacrifice. It says that a price must be paid in
order to achieve enlightenment. The Hanged Man's forsakenness opens the
path for rebirth into a new life, though this path is wrought with pain
suspended in time and ultimately ends in Death.
The Fool is everyone - including you and me. Each step he takes on his journey
feels like stepping into a brave new world. Ultimately, the journey will change
him. But as the card shows, he's a trustworthy lad whose tireless hope drives
him toward his goal.
The Fool is you and Johnny. You've traveled a long road together, discovered
your potential. Your destination is the World, the final arcanum. Both of you
waged a war on the world, so there are two possibilities - declare victory or
make peace. Unfortunately, you could lose the war too.

The World lies at the end of the Fool's long and winding journey. Wiser and
more world-weary than he started out, the Fool faces a moment of reckoning.
Some of us accept where our journey has led us to, while others embark on a
new challenge. One thing in this World is certain - you can't have it all.

Tarot reading, next four:


The Hermit is a card of self-imposed isolation. It represents an escape from the
hustle and bustle of the city, a turning away from constant newness toward Ye
Olde ways. For the hermit, solitude is the road to the sublime - a road that is
taken not with great bounds and strides, but with small, concentrated steps.
The Hermit... in solitude, he discovers the truth about himself and the world.
From this he draws strength, his lantern cutting through the darkness. Could
be you... Or someone who shows you kindness.
The Hierophant symbolises a respect for tradition. it represents one who tries
to maintain the established order, even though their very character is shaped
by it. The Hierophant places his faith in institutions - for the alternative is pure
chaos. Only by placing his faith in order can he draw strength.
But watch out. A reversed Hierophant lurks in the darkness. He brings crisis,
both of life and authority, rebellion and fanaticism... He is a grave threat.

The Devil reversed. You will find yourself under the influence of powerful people with unclear motives.
Be very careful.
That's the card of primal, dormant desires, but also the will to survive. It also represents a false world -
the trap these desires lay for you.

The Tower is an omen of radical change, chaos and destruction. The lightning
striking The Tower signifies a return to the old order that lies buried under the
ruins, and a new order that will rise from it. It is a symbol of tragedy,
apocalypse and self-destruction.
The Tower. You and everyone around you will experience a great shock. When
the Tower falls, nothing will be the same again. Nothing at all...
Judgement is the card of renewal. The angel blowing into the horn heralds
resurrection and liberation. This card foretells an important change that will
result in healing or fulfillment. It is also a symbol of self-worth.
One possible future. Of redemption, transition, awakening. The angel with the
trumpet symbolises the end of an era - and a call to rebirth, to a new
beginning.

The Sun symbolises success. It is a card of freedom, renewal and a bright


future that lies ahead. The Sun also represents truth, for its light will always
pull back the curtain of shadow that hides the world's secrets. It also
represents greatness and splendor.

The Star is the card of hope. In the darkest of nights there is a light that shines
the path to home. The Star is inspiration, motivation and gives us strength to
move forward.
Temperance is the card of balance. It may symbolise self-restraint or the
gradual shift toward a more mature state of equilibrium. Temperance is
associated with being in control of oneself as well as the desire to achieve
inner peace.

The Magician is the card of self-confidence and adapting to situations through


intellect and sheer will. The Magician is a schemer who always has one last
trick up his sleeve, who despite everything manages to stay afload and remain
in control of his own destiny.

The High Priestess is a card of mystery. It shows how all our secrets hang by a
delicate thread and the struggle between common sense and intuition. The
High Priestess symbolises the cold, calm waters as well as the mysteries hidden
in their depths.
The Empress is a card of femininity and motherhood. She is authoritative,
knows what she wants, and exhibits refinement and sensuousness. The
Empress symbolises creativity and growth, and instructs us not to dismiss our
unconscious impulses, but to trust our intuition.

The Emperor represents patriarchal control and is pleased with the authority
and power he possesses to shape the future. The Emperor makes the rules
and enforces them for the common good. But prestige has its dark sides - the
Emperor is dominating and ruthless and will climb over a mountain of bodies
to achieve his aim.

The Lovers is the card of dichotomies. It paints to the contradictions that clash
within each of us and of the challenge of striking a balance between extremes.
The Lovers is also the card of dilemmas, like The Fool who stands at the
crossroads, unable to make his choice.
The Chariot is always charging ahead despite being pulled by its steeds in
opposite directions. The rider who steers it constantly reins in the light and
dark sides of the soul with the help of Reason. To ride in the Chariot is to
experience highs and lows - ups and downs.

Strength is the card of resilience. It is associated with determination, bravery


and internal struggle. One must have dedication in order to overcome
obstacles and reach one's goal. Strength is about physical prowess and
spiritual fortitude - the power that must be unleashed to achieve the
impossible.

The Wheel of Fortune means that change is coming. One's destiny could turn
out for the better or the worse, yet it also bears the promise of new
possibilities. The Wheel reminds us that nobody remains at the top forever,
but also that not every situation is hopeless.
Justice is the card of conflict resolution. It proclaims the need for order, to see
through lies and deceit, and a return to the natural state of affairs. Justice
implies a just sentence, but also due process.

My guess is that they relate to a turning point in your life – one that’s soon to arrive.
All the tarot can tell me is that you will reach the World by one of four paths. The final leg of the journey
goes through the Sun, the Star, Temperance and the Devil.
