Exploring the Minor Arcana through Astrology, Part 3

In this third part of my series on incorporating astrology into tarot using the decanic minor system, I introduce how you can map the remaining minor arcana (court cards and Aces) to the 36 decans that we’ve already covered and why that may or may not be helpful.

Deck Interview: Lost Hollow Tarot

The Lost Hollow Tarot is another deck by PixelOccult, this time a blend of Waite and Thoth decks with some unique takes in bold red and black ink.

Deck Interview: Light Seer's Tarot

The Light Seer’s Tarot feels extraordinary to me. I’ve never bought two tarot decks by the same person (tarot and oracle, yes), but rarely does someone create two such great decks as the Muse and the Light Seer’s, and Chris-Anne did them simultaneously!

Deck Interview: Urban Tarot

I’m not a New Yorker and only very rarely wish to be, but I do love the City in an archetypal way, and that’s why I bought the Urban Tarot. I think that nature is powerful, but it’s not my world.
