OAK:Tarot of Love and Romance











{May 25, 2008}   Time

 

FORTUNE

Symbol-A wheel or disk that has an outer circumference

and a center but everything inside is in flux.

Meaning-This shows the continual evolution and change that is required in life. Some areas increase in importance and other areas decrease in importance.

FORTUNE is related to many other cards of the Tarot. It is related to the King of Keys, Queen of Keys, Prince of Keys, Princess of Keys, Two of Keys, Two of Swords, Two of Cups, Two of Locks, Three of Keys, Three of Swords, Three of Cups and the Three of Locks.

It’s Element is Fire. It’s power is Fire of Fire, Air of Fire, Water of Fire and Earth of Fire.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from NETZACH to CHESED.

The long awaited physical events in my life take priority over anything else and my Platonic contact with my soulmate takes a lesser priority. I still enjoy these exchanges but have more important things to do. I am confronting and dealing with long neglected areas of my life and it is a very rewarding experience for me. This is a time of incredible personal gains for me.

For her our continued contact increases in importance and takes up more and more time and energy and her physical relationship begins to suffer a little because of it. The new soulmate contact has gained ascendancy and is dominant at this point. She misses our conversations and is beginning to realize just how important they are to her.



{May 18, 2008}   Justice

 

JUSTICE

Symbol-A dagger is balanced by its point on the end of an outstretched finger.

Meaning-Here is equilibrium and she is content and satisfied. She gives to the physical relationship what is required for harmony and peace and she gives to the Platonic relationship that inner spiritual sharing that she craves on a more deeper level. Here she has satisfied both of the men in her life.

I share things and am well received within my own social circles. It is a time where I gain support and encouragement from others in society.

JUSTICE is related to many other cards of the Tarot. It is related to the King of Keys, Queen of Keys, King of Swords, Queen of Swords, Prince of Swords, Princess of Swords, Three of Keys, Three of Swords, Three of Cups, Three of Locks and the Four of Keys.

It’s Element is Air. It’s power is Fire of Air, Air of Air, Water of Air and Earth of Air.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from TIPERETH to GEBURAH.

The physical events that I have long anticipated have finally come to pass and they are a blessing in my life. There is deep healing in areas of my life that I have experienced unjust hurt and pain. Physical events resolve themselves in a manner that is favorable to me and I gain recognition and power from other members of society. This is a gradual process in which I am harmonizing my spiritual aspirations with others of like mind and gaining support. I receive support and encouragement from my soulmate in these efforts.

She believes deeply in the things that I am trying to share with others and encourages me as much as she can. She has found meaning in her life by actively supporting my spiritual goals and aspirations. These fulfill that part of her life that had been missing. Now her physical relationship becomes much more tolerable and she is able to enjoy that also. She has the best of both worlds.



{May 13, 2008}   Hanged Man

 

THE HANGED MAN

Symbol-Male is suspended upside down from a tree.

Meaning-This is an uneasy period in the physical relationship because things are not satisfactory. More and more energy is spent in like seeking like and her Platonic contact with me increases in strength and intensity. She remains trapped in the physical relationship and inner tensions increase.

THE HANGED MAN is related to many other cards of the Tarot. It is related to the Queen of Swords and the Four of Swords.

It’s Element is Air. It’s power is Air of Air. It controls the Sepiroth NETZACH and the planet VENUS.

In the Tarot Trumps this leads from HOD to GEBURAH.

This is perhaps my least favorite stage in the cycle. There is a separation from physical reality and nothing is happening at all in physical life. It is a time of physical waiting for the energies to build up and gain strength. There is a major change taking place physically in my life and I am really anxious for it to happen but it is some time away and nothing I can do will speed it up. All that I can do is wait. I fill this waiting period with an increasing dialogue with my soulmate. We both enjoy our social conversations and the perspectives that we both share on things.

She is really experiencing difficulties in her physical relationship with her collective soulmate and enjoys these social diversions that are spiritual and Platonic.



{May 7, 2008}   Death

DEATH

Symbol-Figure of a skeleton as a crucifix.

Meaning-Here for the first time like is attracted to like.

DEATH is related to many other cards of the Tarot. It is related to the King of Swords, Queen of Swords, Prince of Swords, Princess of Swords, Four of Keys, Four of Swords, Four of Cups and Four of Locks.

It’s element is Air. It’s powers are Fire of Air, Air of Air, Water of Air and Earth of Air.

In the Tarot Trumps DEATH leads from NETZACH to TIPHERETH.

This is both a time of deep loss and tremendous gain. There is a deep physical or material loss of some type. In one cycle I lost my job. It was a job that I hated and I didn’t really miss it. During the same time I gained access to social circles that were very harmonious to me. I was introduced to people that had things in common with me. In this sense it was a time of physical gain as a greatly improved social atmosphere.

It is also at this time that I meet my soulmate at one of these social activities and we are immediately attracted to each other.

She wishes to find a common interest and activity to share. She feels increasingly trapped in the co-dependent role with her physical partner. The strain of the old relationship becomes intolerable because of its rigidity. She tries new social activities where she meets new and exciting people. She is drawn toward a platonic relationship with me as someone she can talk with.



{May 2, 2008}   The Shadow

 

THE DEVIL

Symbol-Female circus performer as a strong man lifting

a male that is dressed as a female.

Meaning-Here is physical sexual force given to polar opposites in its grossest fashion. This is a celebration and madness of the physical differences between the male and female and the rightness of joining. It is the madness of spring and the creative joining. It is also a karmic entrapment of the basest kind where each person is completely co-dependent upon his or her physical partner for completion.

THE DEVIL is related to many other cards of the Tarot. It is related to the King of Swords, Queen of Swords, Prince of Swords, Princess of Swords, Four of Cups, Four of Locks, Five of Keys, Five of Swords, Five of Cups and Five of Locks.

It’s Element is Air. It’s powers are Fire of Air, Air of Air, Water of Air and Earth of Air.

In the Tarot Trumps THE DEVIL leads from HOD to TIPHERETH.

This opened up deeper levels of astral activity that were etheric in nature. It seems as if each time a deep layer of the etheric is achieved something negative happens physically as a consequence. During one cycle I received an injury at the work place. The action of accessing deeper levels at first causes negative physical events to happen by releasing them. We enter these new levels and can’t control them. They do as they will and recoil against any weakness that they find.

Even as I am exploring deeper levels of the astral and trying to master them my soulmate is enmeshing herself in a sexual relationship with her collective soulmate. I still have never met her and do not know who she is.



{April 29, 2008}   Temperance

 

TEMPERANCE

Symbol-Male and female sitting at table in good conversation.

Meaning-Here the physical male and female together form a type of comfortable, co-dependent unity and stability in their physical relationship. Each takes upon themselves that which is lacking in the other and fulfills that part of themselves by the personal growth required. Through effort they grow and become people that they were not before. They gain an awareness of self in these new and powerful roles that they play. Roles that are complementary to each other.

TEMPERANCE is related to many other cards of the Tarot. It is related to the Princess of Swords, Five of Swords and Five of Locks.

It’s element is Air. It’s power is Air of Earth. It controls the Sepiroth HOD and the planet MERCURY.

In the Tarot Trumps TEMPERANCE leads from YESOD to TIPHERETH.

This is a time of social activity. In various cycles I found this social activity within support groups and through the internet. It was for me a good time of sharing and having fun with others. It is notable that this is a type of collective social activities and not centered around one individual. This activity does later lead to my actually meeting my soulmate for the cycle.

She is enjoying her personal relationship with her collective soulmate and a stable and deep relationship is formed that is social in nature.



{April 10, 2008}   The Tower

 

 

THE TOWER

Symbol-Tower is destroyed by lightning and is falling into the ocean.

There is serious conflict in male/female relationships

Meaning-Open conflict and explosive differences of opinion as each finds out that the other is not what was expected or understood. There is a destruction of the myths of what is male and what is female. This is first hand reality of the differences between the two physical partners.

THE TOWER is related to many other cards in the Tarot. It is related to the King of Swords, Queen of Swords, Prince of Swords, Princess of Swords, King of Cups, Queen of Cups, Prince of Cups, Princess of Cups, Five of Keys, Five of Swords, Five of Cups, Five of Locks, Six of Keys, Six of Swords, Six of Cups and Six of Locks.

In the Tarot Trumps THE TOWER leads from HOD to NETZACH.

I continue working with various astral energies that I can now sense quite strongly. I am trying to master them and do things with them. Astral projection becomes a good way of gathering information that I never knew before. I am still at this point unaware of the physical existence of my new soulmate and don’t know who she is.

She is experiencing serious difficulties in her relationship with her collective soulmate. They are both learning what the other is really like and it is disturbing to both of them.



{April 3, 2008}   Hope

 

 

 

THE STAR

Symbol-Male finds beautiful jeweled necklace

Female is transformed into a tree.

Meaning-This is the card of hope. The spiritual waters of Binah are poured out over the juncture of land and water. Binah is of the true soulmate beginning to take an active part in the affairs the physical couple. Through the soulmates unseen influence in dreams there is an apparent mending and reconciliation of physical opposites. The physical couple begin to understand each other better than before from a purely idealistic and spiritual perspective lacking completely in physical wisdom.

THE STAR is related to other cards in the Tarot. It is related to the King of Cups, Queen of Cups, Prince of Cups, Princess of Cups, Seven of Keys, Seven of Swords, Seven of Cups, Seven of Locks, Eight of Keys, Eight of Swords, Eight of Cups and the Eight of Locks.

It’s Element is Water. It’s powers are Fire of Water, Air of Water, Water of Water and Earth of Water.

In the Tarot Trumps THE STAR leads from YESOD to NETZACH.

This is the card of hope. The spiritual waters of Binah are poured out over the juncture of earth and water. This means that my astral contact with her on a high spiritual level through my dreams is having a mending effect on her physical relationship with her collective soulmate. Through this influence they begin to understand each other better than before by the formation of a purely idealistic and spiritual perspective lacking completely in physical wisdom. This intellectual and abstract perspective is the result of my energy combining with hers and she applies it to her physical relationship.

There is also a definite closure in my physical and dream life concerning my previous source of female energy. This contact is severed by a dream in which my new soulmate contact is seen to take the place of my old one. The collective energy is beginning the process of being phased out of my psychic system in favor of a more pure single soulmate energy.



{March 21, 2008}   The Moon

Symbol-Man burning witch at the stake

Meaning-Banishing ritual has a liquid aspect to the energies and resistance is normal.

Energy Centers are highly focused areas of altered consciousness.

Here the male/female relationship seethes under the surface tranquillity as uncleanness, sorcery and abominations threaten to surface between the two partners. This is the basic foundation differences between the male perspective and the female perspective. Each one fears the other.

THE MOON is related to other cards in the Tarot. It is related to The Princess of Cups, Eight of Cups and Eight of Locks.

It’s Element is Water. It’s power is Water of Earth. It controls the Sepiroth YESOD and the MOON.

In the Tarot Trumps THE MOON leads from MALKUTH to NETZACH.

This is a time of intense interest in some type of astral work or study that explains some of the unusual dreams that have been happening as well as the psychic experiences that are increasing. This study helps to integrate astral energies and I begin to be aware of changes in my awareness as it moves from one part of my body to the next. I am building up the old egregore within my psyche.

I am integrating the basics of this old egregore in terms that are understandable to me.

She is exploring areas of tension with her collective soulmate. While everything is calm outwardly, on the inside there is a lot going on.



{March 15, 2008}   The Sun

Symbol-Male and female at play in the ocean.

Meaning-Here for the first time a vision of humanity’s future is allowed to coexist in harmony with the old Kabalistic egregore. On earth the Kabala prevails but in heaven OAK prevails. The collective accepts the spiritual reality of the new OAK egregore but resists its becoming physical right away.

Physical male/female opposites are attracted to each other in harmony and a somewhat stable relationship.

THE SUN is related to other cards in the Tarot. It is related to King of Cups, Queen of Cups, King of Locks, Queen of Locks, Prince of Locks, Princess of Locks, Eight of Keys, Eight of Swords, Eight of Cups, Eight of Locks, Nine of Keys, Nine of Swords, Nine of Cups and Nine of Locks.

It’s Elements are Water and Earth. It’s powers are Fire of Water, Air of Water, Fire of Earth, Air of Earth, Water of Earth and Earth of Earth.

In the Tarot Trumps THE SUN leads from YESOD to HOD.

In a massive surge of astral activity an astral body is spontaneously created that is a permanently activated one. At first this body is just an outer shell without personal characteristics.

Here for the first time a vision of humanity’s future is allowed to coexist in harmony with the old Kabalistic egregore. On earth the old egregore prevails but in heaven and the astral the new egregore prevails. The collective accepts the spiritual reality of the new egregore but resists its becoming physical reality. It accepts my egregore by allowing the creation of my permanent astral body. This means my personal paradigm and understanding of reality is accepted spiritually as valid.

My word if you will.

My soulmate for the cycle is attracted to her opposite and a stable friendship is formed as if they knew each other all of their lives.
