Wheel Of Fortune Tarot Meaning
Major Arcana card number ten of the Tarot is the Wheel of Fortune, following on from The Hermit, and preceding Justice. As you might imagine, this is a card about change, the wheel keeps on turning! It represents the notion that what goes up must come down and vice versa ad infinitum. Generally, this is considered a positive card to receive although it may not exclusively be the case.
Strength Tarot Card Meaning
Major Arcana Tarot Card number eight is the Strength card, succeeding The Chariot, and preceding The Hermit. As the name suggests, this card is about strength, but not just any kind of strength. This is not brute force or will, this is the strength in vulnerability, in opening up, in risking getting hurt, and taking our inner wildness. This Tarot card represents true strength.
How To Read A Horary Astrology Chart
Horary Astrology is one of the four main branches of Astrology (along with Mundane, Electional, and Natal Astrology), and is the more divinatory of the lot. It consists of casting a Chart for the moment a question is asked and understood by the Astrologer, and interpreting it for an answer. It is a very old form of Astrology and can be used by experienced Astrologers for uncanny results and detail! Generally it seems that answering a question using a Horary Chart works using the premise of the Hermetic maxim: as above so below.
How To Find Your Tarot Birth Card
When working with the Tarot and building your relationship with the archetypes, a really nice way to connect deeper and use as an anchor point for further introspection is calculating your Tarot birth card!

The Chariot Tarot Meaning
The Chariot Major Arcana Tarot card meaning is an interesting one because on the one hand it is quite straightforward- it represents perseverance, endurance, and stamina; on the other hand it is also much deeper and more nuanced than that (as so many of the cards are)!
What Is My Sun Sign
Your Sun Sign, AKA your star sign, is likely the first piece of Astrological knowledge you come by. Most people, whether or not they are into Astrology, generally know if they are a so-called Gemini, Leo, or Scorpio. These are easy to calculate because the Zodiac Sign the Sun is in changes regularly and consistently roughly every 30 days, returning at more or less the same time every year.
The Emperor Tarot Card
In the fourth Major Arcana Tarot Card, we encounter The Emperor, counterpart to The Empress. Here we meet our self sovereignty and sense of agency, our independence and ability to lead. It is a strong card of taking ownership of ones life and situation, handling the reigns with confidence.
