#the arcana of astrology neptune

[jasper-tarot-reader]

hii I would like to request reading

My initials are M.G.G

My pronouns are she/her

I would like to know what lady athena would like to tell me

Hello MGG, I'm sorry that this took so long to get to! Hopefully you don't mind the wait.

For this reading, I am using the Arcana of Astrology oracle deck by Claire Goodchild. I also directed the question to Lady Athena.

I’ll tell you what I tell everyone who comes to me for deity readings - Please note that I (nor any other person besides her and you) should not be used as the end-all-be-all for your communication with Athena. If anything seems strange here, I encourage you to talk to her about it yourself!

Question: What would you like to tell MGG? Answer: Neptune

[No image for this one because my phone camera took a dump.]

Neptune is known as the Mystic. It rules Pisces and the Twelfth House and is associated with the element of water. In this deck, its keywords are illusion, delusion, psychic ability, addiction, mysticism, and spiritual needs.

In astrology, Neptune is one of those "outer planets" that take a while to scoot around through the different signs, making it not as personal as the Sun through Jupiter or Saturn to an individual. This planet is associated with learning hard lessons about spirituality. Its positive influence is felt in making realizations about what personally applies to your spirituality. Its negative influence is felt in becoming so wrapped up in spirituality that it negatively impacts your health.

As a card in this deck, it calls for a time of solitude for self-reflection, isolated from outside factors. What do you want? What do you think?What do you seek? Try being still for a moment and learning these things without other people's influence.

And if you've been engaging in self-destructive behaviors, now is the time to stop. As long as you're alive, you have the choice to change your own ways. This card reminds you that you have the chance to come back from the brink of whatever may be dragging you down. Take it.

Leave feedback as another ask that I can publish publicly and tell me what parts felt right, if anything felt off, stuff like that. Until you do, you will be added to my greylist. Please reblog my reading guidelines and consider joining the Coven of Cards Discord server to get information about more in-depth readings by me and other folks.

Astrological Associations of the Tarot Major and Minor Arcana - Cheat Sheet

As someone who dabbles in astrology (and lightly in planetary magic), I recently decided to include the astrological correspondence of the Golden Dawn for the tarot in my practice and I found it to be an amazing additional information in some cases.

For example, when you need an idea of timing, or when you need to define a person and their ''vibe'', or add a layer to the meaning of the cards. Particularly useful for Court cards which are notoriously hard to understand.

This is merely a list of correspondences or association and will not go into detail about the whys, because there are many different opinions on this depending on the author and time period. So this is just a synthesized version of what I personally use. I also need to point out that I use the RWS tarot mostly, not Thoth (although it was my first deck and I really need to get back to it at some point). So if you want to dive deeper, please visit the forum thread that has interesting discussions. For Minor Arcana, here from Biddy Tarot. For the Court cards specifically, here is what I found.

Note for the Court Cards: Pages are just their element in the most youthful/undeveloped form. The other Courts have two signs, that's because they rule the last 2 thirds of the signs + the first third of the next sign. It's a bit hard to wrap your head around but it adds necessary depth to their meaning.

It's cross-posted on my blog, with the addition of a visual I made as a reference you can download or print. Also on Pinterest and Instagram.

BRF Reading - 11th of March, 2023

This is speculation only

Cards drawn on the 10th of March, 2023

Question: Does King Charles want Harry to succeed him instead of William?

This is a one card reading

Card Drawn: The Hanged Man

Interpretation:

This is a major arcana card, so this is a big deal.

The Hanged Man is a card of inaction. It is about going into yourself and having a good hard think about things, and of trying to see things from a different perspective. It can be a card of sacrifice. It is also a card of not knowing what direction to take, of uncertainty, of looking at all the paths of action and trying to decide which one is the right one to take.

The first energy from this card is of inaction. Now is not the time to make any changes in the heirs, especially not with Prince William confirmed as heir with the Prince of Wales title.

In a wider sense, this tells me that Charles is adopting a 'wait and see' attitude with respect to Harry. He (Charles) is not going to overturn tradition and name Harry his heir instead of William - he can't, there are laws against it. William is heir and will be the next king and that is that. However, Charles is certainly having a good long think about the Harry situation, and he is trying to figure out what is the best thing to do for Harry and for himself.

The second energy from this card is that of delusion. The Hanged Man is the card that represents the planet Neptune, and Neptune is the planet of creativity, emotional responses (not rational - Neptune is all about being carried away on a flood of emotion), illusions and deluding yourself - applying rose coloured glasses to a situation is very Neptunian.

This tells me that King Charles is deluded when it comes to Harry. He has a huge blind spot where Harry is concerned. He can not see Harry clearly - he sees Harry through a rose coloured haze. The Harry he sees is the Harry that he wants, not the Harry who exists in reality. [This is borne out by their astrology, with Harry's Venus sitting on top of Charles's Venus-Neptune-IC grouping - meaning that Charles will always view Harry with rose coloured glasses and Harry's happiness will always be important for Charles to feel settled and happy himself]. So Charles is deluded when it comes to Harry, and that will never change, and he will make his plans for Harry based on that delusion and not on the reality of what Harry says and does. We can all guess how well that is going to work out.

This card tells me a lot about Charles's relationship with Harry. In terms of whether Charles would prefer Harry as his heir instead of William (not that Charles can do anything to change this, William is heir and that is it), the card tells me not yes or no, but that Charles is suffering from delusions when it comes to Harry, so if he does prefer Harry in his heart as his heir then that is a delusion, a fantasy, and not reality. It also says to wait and see - Charles's actions in the future will show his preference, but for now there is nothing to go on (card of inaction). We have to wait and see for an answer to that question.

The important bit is that there is nothing that can change the reality of the situation. William is heir and that is the end of it. Dreams, illusions and talking trees can not change that fact.

Tarot Story and Astrological Correspondence : Chapter 3

credit The Decan Wheel by Astrology & Tarot

วันนี้จะขอเล่าเกร็ดวิธีหนึ่งในการอ่านไพ่ Tarot เชื่อมกับ Astrology ซึ่งวิธีนี้จะทำให้เราได้มุมมองใหม่ๆจากการอ่านไพ่เพิ่มอีกมาก วิธีนี้เป็นการเทียบไพ่ Minor Arcana กับตรียางค์ (Decans) ในแต่ละราศีค่ะ

ครั้งหนึ่งได้เคยอธิบายเรื่อง Timing in Tarot ไว้เบื้องต้น เป็นการทำนายระยะเวลาที่เหตุการณ์หนึ่งจะเกิดขึ้นได้ด้วยการอ่านไพ่ Tarot สามารถอ่านรายละเอียดเพิ่มเติมได้ตามลิงค์นี้ค่ะ Timing in Tarot

ก่อนอื่นจะขออธิบาย concept ของตรียางค์คร่าวๆ ก่อนค่ะ ปกติแล้วเราจะคุ้นเคยกับการเห็นกระดานกลมๆ ที่แบ่งออกเป็น 12 ช่อง 12 ราศีกันอยู่แล้วใช่ไหมคะ ซึ่งเราเรียกกระดานกลมๆทั้งหมดนี้ว่า จักรราศี (จักร : ล้อ, วงกลม) - Zodiac Wheel

ใน 1 จักรราศีที่เราเห็นกันนั้นจะประกอบไปด้วย 12 ราศี เริ่มตั้งแต่เมษไปจนถึงมีน ซึ่งใน 1 ราศีนี้ก็จะแบ่งเป็นองศาได้อีก 30 องศา และใน 30 องศานี้จะนับได้เป็น 3 ตรียางค์ (1 ตรียางค์ = 10 องศา) ซึ่งจริงๆ เรายังสามารถจำแนกละเอียดลงไปได้มากกว่านี้ แต่จะยังไม่ลงรายละเอียดในครั้งนี้นะคะ เพราะเดี๋ยวจะยืดยาวจนเขียนไม่จบค่ะ

การอ่านตรียางค์หรือ Decans เทียบกับไพ่ Tarot ที่นิยมใช้กันนั้น จะยึดตามระบบ Chaldean Decans เป็นหลักในการเทียบเคียง ซึ่งจะใช้เฉพาะ Traditional Planets ที่จะมีแค่ Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn ไม่รวม Modern Planets อย่าง Uranus, Neptune, และ Pluto เข้ามาด้วย

หากลองพิจารณาตามรูป จะเห็นว่ามีการเรียงลำดับดาวดังนี้ Mars - Sun - Venus - Mercury - Moon - Saturn - Jupiter และเมื่อครบแล้วก็จะวนกลับมาที่ Mars ไปจนครบทั้ง 36 ตรียางค์ ลงท้ายที่ Mars อีกเช่นกัน

และเราจะเห็นอีกว่าไม่มีการนำไพ่ Ace และไพ่บุคคลอย่าง Page, Knight, Queen, King เข้ามาร่วมด้วย ส่วนตัวเรามองว่าการอ่าน Decans จะเป็นการลงรายละเอียดของสิ่งที่เกิดขึ้นอย่างเจาะจง ดูว่าสถานการณ์นั้นๆ กำลังดำเนินไปในทิศทางใด แต่ไพ่กลุ่ม Ace นั้นเป็นไพ่จุดเริ่มต้น ไม่ใช่ไพ่ที่บอกเล่าว่ากำลังเกิดอะไรขึ้น มีใครทำอะไรอย่างไรเหมือนอย่างไพ่หมายเลขอื่นใน Minor Arcana เป็นแค่จุดเริ่มต้น เป็นจุดที่บ่งบอกว่ามี Potential ในการพัฒนาได้ แต่ยังต้องอาศัยการลงมือทำ เปรียบเหมือนกับเรามีเมล็ดพันธุ์พืช ถ้าเราไม่เริ่มเพาะปลูก ถือมันเอาไว้ เก็บมันเอาไว้กับที่ ก็ย่อมไม่เกิดเหตุการณ์หรือเปลี่ยนแปลงอะไรได้

ส่วนไพ่บุคคลหรือไพ่ Court Cards ก็เป็นไพ่ที่บ่งบอกถึงลักษณะนิสัย บุคลิกท่าทาง บอกถึง Phase ของเหตุการณ์นั้นๆ ว่าอยู่ในช่วงริเริ่ม ดำเนินการ สำเร็จแล้ว พัฒนาสมบูรณ์แล้วหรือยัง หรืออาจเป็นเครื่องบอกว่าผู้ถามกำลังคิดทำอะไร แต่รายละเอียดจะเป็นอย่างไรต้องใช้ไพ่ Minor Arcana ชุดหมายเลขขยายความเพิ่มด้วย แต่ถ้าใช้ตำราไพ่ Thoth จะมีการนำไพ่ Ace และไพ่ Court Cards มาเทียบเคียงกับ Decans ด้วย ซึ่งถ้ามีโอกาส จะนำมาแบ่งปันต่อไปค่ะ

วิธีการอ่านไพ่เทียบเคียงกับตำแหน่งดวงดาวในแต่ละราศีมีประโยชน์อย่างไร ส่วนตัวมองว่าจะทำให้เราเข้าใจธรรมชาติและการแสดงออกทั้งของไพ่และดวงดาวในราศีได้ง่ายขึ้นค่ะ อย่างเช่น Venus in Aries ที่เท่ากับ 4 of Wands ซึ่งถือเป็นไพ่ดี ไพ่แห่งความสำเร็จและการเฉลิมฉลอง แต่ทำไมจึงเทียบเคียงได้กับศุกร์ในราศีเมษอันเป็นตำแหน่งที่ศุกร์อ่อนแรง หรืออย่าง 10 of Cups ที่เป็นไพ่แห่งความสุขสมบูรณ์ใบหนึ่ง แต่เทียบเคียงได้กับ Mars in Pisces ซึ่งเป็นราศีที่อังคารอ่อนแรงเช่นกัน เราอาจจะมองได้ว่า เมื่อเรายอมลดทอนคุณลักษณะและความยึดมั่น ความตัองดารส่วนตัวลง และให้ความสุขของคนที่เรารักเป็นเป้าหมาย เราอาจจะเกิดความรู้สึกอึดอัดคับข้องใจบ้าง ไม่สามารถทำตามใจได้อย่างอิสระ แต่ปลายทางนั้นจะนำมาซึ่งความสุขและพึงพอใจแก่ทุกฝ่าย หรืออาจจะเป็นการบอกให้เรารู้ว่า เราจะสามารถหาเส้นทางที่นำไปสู่ความสุขได้แม้จุดเริ่มต้นจะไม่ได้สมบูรณ์พร้อม มีข้อจำกัดต่างๆมากมาย แต่เราก็สามารถใช้ประโยชน์จากข้อจำกัดนั้นเพื่อนำไปสู่การบรรลุความคาดหวัง ที่อาจจะไม่ใช่แค่ความสุขส่วนตัว แต่เป็นการได้ดูแลคนอื่นด้วย เป็นต้น

อย่างไรก็ตาม ด้วยความที่ตรียางค์นั้นมีแค่ 36 ตรียางค์ แทนความหมายไพ่ได้ 36 ใบ เราก็อาจจะเทียบไพ่กับตำแหน่งของดวงดาวได้ไม่ครบ บางตำแหน่งเราอาจต้องเทียบเคียงกับดาวและราศีตามไพ่ Major Arcana แทน เช่น Virgo Moon ไม่มีไพ่ Minor Arcana ต้องเทียบเคียงกับไพ่ The Hermit (Virgo) & The High Priestess (Moon) หรือ Pisces Venus แทนค่าด้วยไพ่ The Moon (Pisces) & The Empress (Venus)

ใครที่สนใจอาจจะลองเทียบเคียงตำแหน่งดาวในพื้นดวงของตัวเองเทียบกับไพ่ได้ค่ะ ว่าถ้าถอดรหัสดาวในพื้นดวงเป็นไพ่แล้ว ตำแหน่งใดจะได้ไพ่อะไรกันบ้าง ก็อาจจะได้รับมุมมองใหม่ๆของการอ่านพื้นดวงที่แตกต่างไปจากเดิมอีกมากเลยทีเดียวค่ะ

Change is gonna come. Pluto Enters Aquarius

Pluto, one of the outer planets, known as a  Lord of Karma, Is about to make a astrological transit.

Now you might be thinking “Well, Planets transit all the time. Why is this any different”?  Well the outer planets aka the Karmic Planets are not the fastest moving objects in the realm of Astrology.  The fastest  of the karmic planets is Saturn which completes its transit of a house  in 2 and half years. Uranus transits every 7 years, Neptune every 14 and Pluto every 15 years.

Pluto, in astrology, represents power in its raw form. The force of life and death. It governs transform,  procreation, secrets, dominance and esoteric knowledge . It is the ruler or governing planet for the sign of Scorpio. It is represented by the Major Arcana Death Card in the Tarot.

Pluto entered the house of Capricorn January 27 2008 and with periodic retrogrades(all planets retrograde throughout the course of their transits) will remain in that sign until March 23rd.  On March 24 it will begin its entry into the sign of Aquarius.  It will remain one the cusp of Aquarius/Cusp for much of this year.

Because the planet’s orb, the energy it exerts (8 degrees to either side of the planet’s current position) in house, it effects will be felt in both houses/signs. It will announce itself in some fashion, bursting in on the scene and then recede into the background, The best analogy is  like turning on a radio?then reducing its volume.

The transition or change that will be felt both inwardly and outwardly. While the outer planets can produce dramatic effects during its travel of a house, Pluto builds slowly and subtly , having the next 15 years to effect its changes. As with all planets,  it goes retrograde through the course of a year.  On May 2 it begin will move back into House of Capricorn, regressing to 27 degrees until October 11th On that date it will go direct again in Capricorn.

While  on the Cusp from March to May, Pluto  will finish up its work from the  long transit in the sign of Capricorn.

  Capricorn, cardinal Earth sign, is concerned with personal ambition, rules, boundaries and limits. With Pluto in Capricorn you may have to work on a lengthy project or endeavor, learning the rules of how things worked, who was in those changes and the way things function depending where Pluto transited through Capricorn in your chart.

In 2023, Pluto will tidy up loose ends in anticipation of its journey through Aquarius..Capricorn’s which governs authority, time,  maturity and  material reality will filter these proceedings, concluding old business and concerns. Pluto in Capricorn will lay down the groundwork for a new structure, employing a different sets of rules and limitations.

  The aspects produced byPluto on the Capricorn/Aquarius cusp  will produce a variety of Aspects(Conjunctions, Trines, Squares, Oppositions) that we’ll need to navigate in the coming year. Check back for updates and latest forecasts  in the coming month.

  Pluto, the power of change will offer transformation in all our lives. Being open and ready for it may be the most productive thing we can do.

Healthwise this card indicates a necessary sacrifice of your resources and freedom to make a recovery. Relationships this card indicates a unique situation where you can abandon yourself to the relationship itself and allow it to take you to an expected insight. Travel and lifestyle this card indicates a suspension of activity. Education this card indicates sudden insight from lots of learning. Spiritual awareness and self-development this card indicates a necessary sacrifice.

Notes on The Fool (The Wanderer)

Four Pillars Society Tarot by Gary Rosenberg (GAR) and Nyxsaurius Fallsong

 Legend: Through the Tiger’s Maw and Cracking Egg, a new existence has begun

 Artist’s Notes:

A black translucent egg is seen hovering over the mostly formless ground. Within the egg can be seen what appears to be a brain and a heart. The egg is cracking and there seems to be some kind of energy radiating through, enveloping the egg as if it were about to crack open. On top of the egg is a cream-coloured top hat with a pink band. At a strange angle, a tiger can be seen. Hanging from the tiger’s maw is the bindlestiff that is normally carried by either vagabonds or the Fool in many tarot decks. The Tiger is walking away from the egg. Around the card can be seen various barely formed sigils that seem to be almost shifting in a manner as if they were constantly reforming in synch with the egg. 

Potential and Possibility have amazing potency. The only limits come from the imagination or lack of it. If you combine the Fool’s (0) Possibility with the Focused intent of the Magus (1) then manifestation will occur. Nothing and Everything in a constant dance. Yet no matter how much becomes manifest, potential never becomes diminished. Each time the egg opens, an existence runs its course, the fool’s quest begins and ends again and it all returns and begins again. The realized heart of the Fool from earlier existences finds its way by chance into a new cycle of becoming. 

About the Archetype: 

Many people see the sequence of the Major Arcana as representing a journey towards self-actualization. This journey may be a physical one, a psychological one, or a spiritual one. Following the Golden Dawn teachings, this journey starts with The Fool. The Fool’s number is 0 and as such he or she holds the potential for all things. The Fool is beyond duality and indeed one way of looking at the Major Arcana is as the journey back after the fall into duality (represented by the Magician and the High Priestess) and the reconciliation thereafter. The Fool is both seed and egg, representing the potential to be all. He / She is the hero of Joseph Campbell’s Hero cycle. We represent the Fool anytime we embark on a new phase of life, especially ones where we leave our safety zones and enter the unknown. Consider Alice jumping down the rabbit hole or Jack about to climb the beanstalk. It is not accidental that so many of these metaphors seem somewhat Freudian. In adolescence, we individuate from our families and awake to our own sexual identities, almost a literal fall to adulthood. 

Above everything else this breaking away and embarking on our own adventure is exhilarating as it is frightening. Jack joyfully climbs the beanstalk as Alice slides down the rabbit hole as Dorothy travels to Oz. They maintain their curiosity, their nerve, their instincts, and their intelligence.

In typical depictions of the Fool, he has his belongings tied onto a staff he carries representing the qualities he brings into the adventure. In my version, the guitar symbolizes exactly that. The dog barking at his feet represents the Fool’s instincts and intuition which help guide him or her along their way.

 Astrological Correspondence:

Planet: Uranus (Element of Air)

When the tarot was first popularized, the only planetary attributes that were used were the Sun, Moon, and the five classical planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn). Uranus was not discovered until 1781. This was followed by the discovery of Neptune in 1846 and Pluto in 1930. Originally The Fool, The Hanged Man, and Judgement were said to be ruled by the elements of Air, Water, and Fire respectively while the World had both the planet Saturn and the element of Earth attributed to it. 

Air is the element of thought and any undertaking begins with an idea. We wish to learn something or find out what will happen when trying something and we do it. Often this requires a leap of the imagination if not faith. Air is the element of Spring and of all new beginnings and starts. 

Uranus is often called the ‘awakener’ astrologically there can be many startling changes in whatever area of our chart Uranus is travelling through at the time. The influence of Uranus is innovative, intuitive, and inventive and encourages us to use the talents we have in ways we had never thought of before.

 In a Reading: 

When the Fool turns up in a reading it is often an indication that we cannot reason ourselves out of our current state. Instead, we need to trust the adventure and our instincts and jump. It may indicate that we have embarked on a new stage of life and we need to go with it in a spirit of openness and joy. The Fool tells us to trust our hearts and let go of fear-based thinking. It is possible that the Fool is cautioning us against reckless behaviour and telling us that we are close to ‘falling off a cliff’. Usually, we seldom come that close to disaster without feeling it on some level so once again the Fool is telling us to trust those instincts.

 The reversed or badly aspected Fool quite often tells us we need to reason things out more than we have and that our actions of late may have been a bit foolhardy. It may indicate that in pursuing our own path we may have been inconsiderate and neglectful of those around us. It may also be an indication that we need to connect more with our inner selves. 

Fate’s Whisper:

At first glance, the most relatable part of the card is the Fool’s bindlestiff. Traditionally it was held by the Fool however he is nowhere to be seen. The Tiger of Chance, which holds the Spark of Life in the Four Pillars Legend, could be easily blamed for eating him. That isn’t the case though, the mind and heart of the fool seem to be in this egg of sorts. Knowing the Fool it could be another leap he is about to take. 

It is also worth noting that the top hat seems to be a part of the egg as if they are both a part of the same being. Could this be another trick of the Tiger? It would seem that until the egg hatches anything is possible.

Assigning the Transpersonal Planets to the Major Arcana

Assigning the Transpersonal Planets to the Major Arcana

The transpersonal planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, formally “discovered” in the modern age, can shed light upon the nature of three elemental Major Arcana cards of Tarot: The Fool, Hanged Man, and Judgement/Aeon. Study of the archetypal resonances of these planets will broaden the meanings beyond the visible, or commonly ascribed, nature of these cards. Classical traditional astrology only…

the MOON (XVIII) - Pisces’ Card - Water - Ruled by Neptune

Upright: Hidden Things, Abstraction, Subconscious, Illusion, Deep Dive

Reversed: Confusion, Mixed Messages, Unusual Dreams, No Clear Path

Daily Tarot Card #34: XII - The Hanged Man (Upright) Martyrdom, sacrifice, release, surrender, letting go, confinement, uncertainty, feeling trapped, self-limitation, lack of direction.

We find ourselves trapped in situations we think we can’t escape. However, we are the ones trapping ourselves. Confinement turns out to actually be self-limitation. Once we realize this, we can finally let go. One can achieve this by looking at the situation from a different angle.

The Hanged Man is astrologically associated with the planet Neptune.

Now that you mentioned all your starters have a motif what are the other starters?

Ye I can give a kind of break down of each generation. I guess as a disclaimer though some of them 100x more blatent then others just based on where my headspace was at the time of drawing them (the bulk of the redesign project took over something like, 5 years).

A lot of them I didn't intend for people to have a "eureka" moment while looking at them because it was mainly just a way for me to get inspired and find imagery that I felt would tie the starter Pokemon to one another. Also I feel like the brunt of the motif is usually in the last stage of the evolutionary line but that isn't a hard rule so I'll still be labeling them by their first stage. So that being said here is the list:

Gen. 1  Motif - Planets/Roman Astrology

Bulbasaur Line - Venus 

Charmander Line - Mars

Squirtle Line - Neptune

Gen. 2 Motif - Chakras

Chikorita Line - Anahata, Ajna

Cyndaquil Line - Muladhara, Manipura

Totodile Line - Vishuddha, Svadhisthana 

All of them have purple markings to represent Sahasrara

Gen. 3 Motif - Epic of Gilgamesh

Treecko Line - Enkidu 

Torchic Line - Gilgamesh

Mudkip Line - Utnapishtim

The Mesopotamian influence stuck around for the legendary trio as well, particularily Groudon who was inspired by Gugalanna

Gen. 4/Hisui Motif - Imperial Regalia of Japan

Turtwig Line / Decidueye - Bronze Mirror

Chimchar Line / Typhlosion - Magatama 

Piplup Line / Samurott - Grass-Cutting Sword 

Gen. 5 Motif - Greek Myths

Snivy Line - Myth of Perseus 

Tepig Line - Myth of Hercules 

Oshawott Line - Myth of Odysseus

A couple of other Pokemon throughout the generation have some slight Greek motifs but it didn't carry out throughout the whole thing i.e. the Timburr line and the Golett line

Gen. 6 Motif - Minor Arcana

Chespin Line - Pentacles

Fennekin Line - Wands

Froakie Line - Cups

Honedge Line gets to stand in for Swords (harhar)

Gen. 7 Motif - Celestial Objects

Rowlet Line - Stars

Litten Line - Sun

Popplio Line - Moon

Like Gen. 5 the theme also trickled down to a few Pokemon throughout the series i.e. Komala, Turtonator, and Drampa

Gen. 8 Motif - Treasures of the Tuatha Dé Danann (More obvious in their gigantamaxes)

Grookey Line - Stone of Destiny - Gigantamax

Scorbunny Line - Sword of Light - Gigantamax

Sobble Line - Spear of Lugh - Gigantamax

I tried to incorporate the 4th treasure, the Cauldron of Dagda, into Eternamax Eternatus
