Wishing With the Cosmic Tarot

I was really at a loss as to what to blog about. So I did what any tarot reader does when they need guidance. I grabbed the closest deck to me which happened to be my Cosmic Tarot by U.S. Games and asked the cards. After shuffling twice a card flew out, the 9 of cups.

This version is so different from most because it has two individuals instead of one. The 9 of cups is known as "wish card". The two on this card seem to have done a lot of soul searching and self-actualization prior to making a wish for a mate. I notice how his face is shadowed. He has accepted his shadow side, he is faking no moves and chose to show her exactly who he is as opposed to just showing her what he thought she wants to see. From the look on her face, she sees all of him and accepts him for who be is, not who he may or may not potentially become. She looks at him lovingly. Everything about her stays self confidence, grace, contentment. The scarf on her head makes me think of a mushwa, a scarf worn by Vodou practitioners to protect their crown chakra. She is in touch with her spirits who speak to her and give her guidance. The sun rises as they sit on what looks like the bayou, yet there are mountains in the background. This says that they have overcome many obstacles to get to this place of growth and beauty. As long as they remember the lessons learned from crossing the mountainous terrain, it looks like the star they wished upon is that sun shining down on them.

Are you in a relationship or single? What things are you wishing for? Are you seeing your partner for who he/she truly is? Or for that matter, are you seeing your self?

  5. What decks do you use? Do you use different ones for readings as opposed to personal meditation? I clicked the link but it said it was dead.

    2. hey there- oops! http://www.divinebrooklyn.blogspot.com hopefully that works:)

      i've been using the astrological mandala for my personal meditation. for clients i use the traditional rider-waite, the palladini deck, and for the more adventurous the new orleans voodoo deck.

      loved the reading for the endangered sharks!
