Daily Tarot: Justice – Mystic Faerie Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

  • Posted on January 18, 2010 at 9:22 pm

My interpretation: Everyone knows that Justice is blind. With her signature blindfold, scales, and sword, Justice reminds us that there is a balance to things. Simply because we think that something is not right or not fair does not make it so, and she reminds us that we must figuratively blind ourselves to make sure that we are seeing things from an objective point of view. Perhaps finding that objectivity is what you need to do in order to find the answers you seek.

Interpretation in the book: This fae wishes you to understand your power and your responsibility. If you are wondering why you are facing a situation, look to your past actions. If you can see how you brought yourself to this place, you can perhaps find a way to balance your karma. If you are facing a decision of how to behave in a situation, consider the future ramifications. Choose your actions wisely, and carefully make a bed you will be happy to sleep in. – From A Guide to Mystic Faerie Tarot by Barbara Moore.

For me, Justice has always been about pointing out when you need to be objective. The reason Justice is blind is so that she can be objective when facing a decision. I usually find her in spreads where a decision must be made and where it appears that there is bias toward one side or the other.

Daily Tarot: The Sun – Mystic Faerie Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

  • Posted on January 17, 2010 at 9:07 pm

My interpretation: Our bright and sunny fae of The Sun holds an infant on her lap. Light and love are necessary in order to nurture anything – relationships, plants, animals, people – and The Sun reminds us of this. Her cheerful disposition reminds us that not everything is bad and that we must remember to look for the good in things.

Interpretation in the book: The answer you find here in the Sun fae’s garden is a happy one. You can expect a time of happiness, joyous optimism, and wondrous energy. This is a real gift. Enjoy! – From A Guide to Mystic Faerie Tarot by Barbara Moore.

I’ve had The Sun show up in spreads where everything else more or less pointed to a situation that was not as good as it could be – hence where I see that she reminds us that not everything is bad. But – her sunny disposition is obviously going to provide a happy answer when the rest of the cards show a happy situation! :)

Daily Tarot: The Empress – Mystic Faerie Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

  • Posted on January 16, 2010 at 9:25 pm

My interpretation: The Empress sits cradling stalks of wheat in her arms, a symbol of Mother Earth’s great bounty. Her belly is swollen with child, indicating a new life that is taking form. Your answers may concern that which has already come to pass (the wheat which is already grown) or that which is to come (the child growing in her belly) – and she challenges you to figure out which are the answers you truly seek.

Interpretation in the book: So you find yourself faced with a clear, if challenging, answer. You are in a position to nurture something. You must give enough of yourself to sustain life but not enough to smother the unique personality of the person, project, relationship, or situation you find entrusted to your care. – From A Guide to Mystic Faerie Tarot by Barbara Moore.

I don’t know. Myself I have never found anything that indicates nurturing in any of my decks when looking at the Empress. She has always represented things finished (the wheat sheaves she cradles in this card) and things still coming (the child she carries).
