In Numerology ten is the first number to be transformed, moving from a double-digit number to a single digit, as numbers in numerology are broken down to a single number except in the case of master numbers such as 11, 22, 33, etc. Being the first number to be broken down adds a special something to ten, as it can be seen as both an ending and a beginning! The Ten of Wands is a card of completion, showing a person carrying a full and abundant load. The card often shows a fr

Numerology focuses on the energetic value of single-digit numbers (with the exception of master numbers 11, 22, 33, etc), with the goal being to break all numbers down to their base value. by adding the numbers together until they reach a single-digit... Such as my birthday 5-29-1971, 5+2+9+1+9+7+1= 34/7 (3+4=7). This format 9 represents the ending point, the crossroad tipping point of contemplation before stepping into something new. It is neither the ending, nor the begi

Eight is a number associated with prosperity and success, and the road traveled to achieve such. In Numerology it is connected with the success achieved through dedication and persistence, and often shows a person or situation that is self-made! Beneath the shiny veneer of success that comes with the vibration of eight, are often many hours, days, weeks, and years of dedication to one cause. Favored by athletes and artisans, eight carries the energy of striving toward one'

Seven is a number associated with big thoughts and serious contemplation. In the Tarot, the sevens collectively represent the need to see behind the veil, understanding that big decisions are often more complex than we initially believe them to be. In numerology seven is connected to our mind, and when it is depicted in the Tarot it is generally showing us things that are taking place internally, preparing us for what we should/could/must do next! When seven is dominant in

Six in Numerology is a number of responsibility, family, and community, that asks us to think about people and situations outside of ourselves. When we look at Numerology as a form of personal development we can see how responsibility expands. First, we were asked to focus only on ourselves, then on the lessons of partnership, then it expanded out to building and creating with others, and now here we are at six learning about the responsibility of being part of a community

Five in Numerology is a number of free will, exploration, and overcoming obstacles. In the Tarot, the vibe seems to be most prevalent in the latter. In Numerology the number 5 represents being at a point in which you have all the ingredients needed to succeed, however, you now have to figure out how to use them. It's the halfway point, as Numerology works with single-digit numbers; with the exception of Master Numbers, 11, 22, 33, 44, etc. Being the middle marker, five is

Four is the number of Stability! As children, we soon learn to connect the number four with rectangles and squares; those solid, sturdy shapes that make up the building blocks of our reality. Tables, chairs, buildings, and monuments are most commonly created with four sides, or four points creating the base of the structure. Numerology is practical; designed to make sense, when we think of the numerological value of something we should always take some time to see how it pl

In Numerology, the number three resonates with the vibration of creation, carrying the energy of manifestation, and the resonance of time. Time, as we know it is divided into three parts; past, present, future, as is aging which comes in the form of youth, maturity, and old age. It is my belief that the separation of time is partially responsible for the creative force that emanates from situations associated with the number three, for the pressure of time and the understand

Two is the number of partnerships, connections, and making more out of life through working with another. Representing the pair or duo, in Numerology it speaks of receptivity, gentleness, understanding, and adaptability. While two's in the Tarot often speak of personal relationships, these relationships are not always with other humans, but instead speak simply of a relationship between two beings; which expands the possibilities to include our relationship with spirit guid

Numerology is the art of divination through numbers, recognizing that situations; such as births, marriages, and important dates, as well as phone numbers, addresses, and even names, carry an energetic vibration based on their numerological value. In Numerology, numbers are broken down to their base number; or single digit, with the exception of Master Numbers such as 11, 22, 33, & 44. In our study of Numerology with the Tarot, we will be focusing on numbers 1-10, presented

The Kings of the Tarot are the most commanding of the court. Having the perspective of those who have traveled through life overcoming obstacles, and gaining wisdom they now reign through thought and deed. When a King appears in our reading there is no room for maybes and think-sos, as we are being commanded to look at the information they bring to light! Their presence alone is a sure sign that we will need to do something about the situation, and most likely that somethi

QUEENS OF THE COURT Oh, the Queens...I personally love the Queens of the Tarot! They are receptive and deep, and often carry an air of mystery that makes them somehow both royalty and priestess at the same time; carrying the feel of magic that is almost palatable as these powerful ladies of the court hold the very essence of feminine power. One of the things that I think is important to mention; particularly when speaking of the court cards, is that the cards are gender-fl

Where the page politely delivers a message like an errand boy of the Universe, the Knight barges onto the scene insisting that something needs to be done about the situation. Knights are bold, and mounted! Like cavalry units of the military, they are mobile and fleet, often taking us by surprise. Regardless of their suit, are action cards, and the appearance of a knight in our reading means things need attending to, more than one knight in the reading and you should prep

Having explored the Major Arcana, and the suits of the Tarot we will now take a look at the court cards. Each suit of the Tarot has ten numbered cards and four court cards; the page, knight, queen, and King. Today we will take a look at the Pages of the Tarot. Pages are the messengers of the court, they carry important documents, share ideas, and introduce concepts to the querent (person receiving the reading). Each page has a different flavor depending on the suit it is a

Swords are the most aggressive of the tarot suits; they are the shits-gonna-happen cards of the deck that speak of action, and change, often with a ripping the bandaid off approach to doing so! With the representation of sword, blade, or spade, you get the point...it's a weapon, and chances are it's going to be a bit uncomfortable to deal with! Here is where I must point out that just because something is uncomfortable, does not mean we should necessarily avoid it. In fact,

Cups sometimes referred to as chalices or goblets, is an emotional suit! Where Pentacles dealt with the physical world and Wands spoke to us about our ideas and inspirations, Cups with their connection to water are all about the way we feel, how things affect us emotionally, and the ability to perceive the world emphatically. Romance, family, friendship, and all the good and bad that come with it are mixed into the chalices we are served by, learning their language is to u

Wands, clubs, and staves are connected to our mind, carrying information about our thought process; inspiration, inner strength, intuition, creativity, and psychic knowing. When they appear in a reading, they are generally talking about things that are taking up space in our mental process, decisions that need to be made, projects we are dreaming into being, and the shadow work of our consciousness are often played out through its numbers and court. To many, it is obvious tha

Having completed our exploration of the Major Arcana we are now ready to step onto the supportive path of the minor arcana, beginning with our exploration of the Tarot Suits. Like the major arcana, each minor arcana card has its own meaning, however, where the major arcana holds deep energetic resonance; usually showing outside influence and situations harder to avoid, the minor arcana often represents things that are easier to change, and are divided into four suits that to

Here we arrive at the end of the exploration of the Major Arcana, with card twenty-one, the World. For those who have followed along this twenty-two card journey no doubt, you have been asked to look deeply at yourself and examine how each of the lessons pertained to you personally. (Please note- The World is the twenty-second card of the Major Arcana even though it is labeled twenty-one, this is because we begin and technically end with The Fool, which is card zero.) While

The Empress or the Lady; as she is known in some decks, represents the fertile seed of femininity. She is potent and ripe, abundant and juicy, a soon-to-be mother carrying the glowing light of new life. The Empress represents potential and abundance, for she sits upon her throne with all of the symbols of new life surrounding her. She is the goddess as Mother, and she is the very land itself!
