Once more thinking about something that permanently altered my brain's chemistry and the way I see life and I think I should share it here, even if no one is going to see. In the How to Train Your Dragon book series, there is a scene where Hiccup faces an enemy who owns an axe that has two sides, one that is golden and shiny, the other that is blackened, bloody and rusty. He would throw the axe in the air and make decisions depending on which side it would land on. Said axe eventually is used to decide Hiccup's fate. However, despite being trapped by the narrative in many ways, Hiccup is the protagonist of his own destiny. He reaches for the axe as it falls, and turns it himself so it lands on the golden side. Whether the axe was going to land on the gold or the dark side originally is irrelevant. He chooses to be alive and be free. Every time I go through a difficult moment, as I am right now, I think about this scene, as silly as it may be.

I am allowed to grab the destiny axe. And so are you.

The Chariot. Art by Ryolie, from the Moon Prism Tarot.

Conquest The Chariot is about relentless pursuit of your goals, regardless of obstacles. Minako, the first of the inner senshi to receive her abilities, is our Chariot. She fought alone, with odds stacked against her as Sailor V to keep those around her safe. Even when she was exhausted and bruised she kept forging forward. Upright: The Chariot is about willpower and boldly forging ahead to win your fight, defeating everything that stands in your way. This is the pursuit of a goal, as well as the drive and power needed to attain it. The cards may be telling you to reconnect with your willpower and drive. This is a time for conquest, accomplishment, and energy. Reversed: The Chariot Reversed is about struggling to face challenges, lacking control and direction, and being overly aggressive. Perhaps you have a goal or dream but you aren’t making any movement or actions to attain it, simply daydreaming and waiting passive for it to come to fruition. Alternatively you may be seeking your goal with too much force, paying no mind to the damage and destruction you are leaving behind you. What are you sacrificing to reach your goal? Is it worth it?

Hi :) I love your web of wyrd posts. I'd love to learn more about it 🥰🩷

web of wyrd: the right-most number, who we are destined to be / what you must accomplish in this life

the number we are focusing on today is based on the YEAR you were born - ex: i was born in 2000, as you see above, my rightmost number is 2 (2 + 0 + 0 + 0 -> 2).

but what does this number mean?

this number represents who we are destined to be. sort of like self fulfilling prophecy - everyone from a distinct year had many years where the expectation of their behavior was press into who they would become and how they would act (via schooling, world affairs, etc). that's what is occurring here in some regards. this the general assumption of what we, and the people born in the same year as us, will become. and thus what we are tasked with accomplishing in this lifetime to become this person.

so let's talk about some examples:

2 - the high priestess

rider-waite's high priestess is depicted as woman dressed in blue seated on the beach. she stares at the viewer blocking their view of the ocean behind her. in fact, her set up on the beach blocks the view as well. seated between one dark and one light column, she presents the viewers with the idea of balance - as the B stands for "boaz" and the J stands for "jachin" which are "strengths establishes" is hebrew they often indicate extremely like dark and light, day and night, etc. while blocking the ocean, she showcases it's ruler - the moon (which she represents). her headdress is that of the phases of the moon showing the shifts in feminine life - maiden, mother, and crone. she wears a cross and holds the Torah showing her devotion toward higher beliefs. behind her is a tapestry covered with pomegranates (fertility symbol).

2s are destined to be connected to the divine. they will be intuitive - they will see through the shadows and all that is hidden from the naked eye (no matter how much blocks the view). they will not fear looking within. they will be comfortable with the cycles of life and their femininity. they are destined to guide others as well as themselves through life.

2s need to accomplish the ability to look within and trust themselves over others. they need to learn to look past logic and small details and trust the universe to take them where they belong most in life. they must also learn that they are more than just their body/vessel.

4 - the emperor

rider-waite's emperor is an older man who sits on a stone throne - ram heads (he represents aries) perch on the corners of the throne. he wears armor beneath his red (desire/passion) robes. the emperor is the divine masculine of the deck; he is a strong leader (we see this in all the stone elements of the card - the throne and mountain range (alludes to the hermit and the fool) behind him - and the golden crown, rod, and orb he has with him). the landscape behind him is barren except for a stream (emotions and intuition) - he can see anything coming. the warm tones in the card serve to emphasized power, authority, and materialism.

4s are destined to lead. they will be strong and powerful individuals. they will take action on the things that matter most to them and those around them. they will believe in and acknowledge their authority, ambitions, and power. they will serve the greater good, not just themselves. they will have big personalities and won't be afraid to take up space.

4s must accomplish self-confident and leadership in this life. it's easy to lead others - but it's difficult to be someone worth following. being a good leader is hard. these individuals must find what inspires them and campaign for that inspiration and action to take place.

7 - the chariot

two sphinxes pull rider-waite's chariot and the man on it. one white and one black (goes back to the high priestess's columns) sphinx lie motionless on the ground - the white looks to the right (the future - the positives) and the black looks to the left (the past - the negatives). despite being armored (he represents cancer) and thus looking ready for battle, the charioteer holds no reins. with the warships and river at his back and the stars (alludes to the star card) over his head, the card depicts the importance of not acting on impulse but rather acting intuitively.

7s are destined to ascend from one reality and into another - they will break generational curses/patterns. they will meet the goals they set in life. these people will be determined, intuitive, and methodical.

7s must accomplish the ability to plan. they need to think clearly and intentionally when making moves in this life time. solid foundations and certainty of the next move is necessary to this person's success. they must face patterns in their life and break them. not all violence/confrontation is necessary, so they must decide throughout life what is worth the fight and what is not.

that's all for today. the next number we will be looking at number between this number and the crown number.

Eight of Cups and The Chariot

You've had enough of this contemplative wandering in the wilderness. You're catching a ride back to town.

[moldspace]

the chariot - control, ambition, success

[janus-cadet]

I am not very productive, this days. But! I am back on my tarot project! I mean, six cards left before I finish the Major Arcana. Well... five, since this one is done!

So, without further ado, here is The Chariot, with yet another character from another fandom... Dr. Horrible.

Yes, I'm still here, still in that fandom, and I think I'll never leave.

So... why Billy. Well, the Chariot is an interesting card, as it is, upright, a card of willpower and determination. It's all about making decisions in alignement of your values, taking action on those decisions, to reach success. Be confident in your capacity, it says! A bit like, well, when you want to change the world and decide to overthrown society to recreate it. Like the Doctor, taking a weopon to the shelter in an attempt to follow his values by entering the E.L.E. It's a Brand New Day, right ? The card tells you that this is not a time to be passive : he decided not to be, and, well, he did reach his goal.

But.

The reversed Chariot card, warns you to (forgive my language) back the fuck up in whatever you are doing. You are driving right toward a brick wall, trying to convince yourself that the path you choose is the right one for you when really, you ought to change direction. Perhaps you're not meant to join the E.L.E, after all. Did you think of the price you'll pay? Don't you think you should spend time with someone else? Perhaps you reached what you were aiming for. But perhaps, by doing that, you missed what (or perhaps who) would have actually been good for you. The card tells you to receonsider, before going after that van because a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do ; perhaps you ought to should have gone back to her, and talk.

Well. Everything you ever, right?

As for the composition... The original card figures a brave warrior standing proudly on the chariot, just like Dr. Horrible is doing here, in his... victorious... labcoat. The crown of victory are now the goggles ; and, as in the original card, he is not actually driving the chariot. He does not hold the reins : it's too late for that, mah dude.

The two black and white sphinxes are now the two opposites persona of the Doctor. There is Billy, in black, looking in one direction, perhaps with some sort of hope ; and there is the Doctor, in white, contemplating the consequence of the one he followed.

And well. That's about it, I guess!

And that's the card! Next one will be the card of Justice, with, erh, another fandom. Again. I swear it's not on purpose. I'm just not joking when I say I'm drawing for multifandoms.

Tarot in Astrology / The Signs as the Major Arcana

*Disclaimer : this is a personal interpretation, as I don’t fully agree with the one that is taught so some of these are different. These are interpretations from someone who studies both astrology & tarot, and as such these make the most sense to me!

I urge you go do your own research as well.

TW: ☠️

Within the major arcana in tarot, there are 21 archetypes that we can look to and seek to understand through an astrological lens.

The major arcana represent, and help us to understand major life lessons as well as the grand scheme of things. Tarot as a whole can help expand our perspective of life and things we grow through and evolve through—much like astrology.

This is a post I’ve wanted to do for awhile.

So, here I present to you, the signs as archetypes in tarot!

🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴🎴

Aries : The Emperor

Key themes of expression: action, stability, authority, strength, power

Planetary Energy: Mars, Saturn

Symbols: ram, scepter

The archetype of The Emperor corresponds to the energy of the body--or the physical.

This archetype corresponds to the cardinal and Martian ruled sign of Aries 🔥

*I would venture to say that cardinal, Saturnian sign of Capricorn can be seen here as well with the number 4 representing balance, structure, and the tangible results of our efforts.

The Emperor teaches us to harness and recognize our power. That we are in charge, and our will reigns supreme.

He also teaches that a sustained will is what yields the most potent results as does the willingness to see things through. This archetype is the essence of impenetrable determination, persistence, & power.

It is a card represented as Aries due to this nature of strength and persistence, two traits necessary to reach goals and traits that Arians emulate easily.

Taurus : The Chariot

Key themes of expression: movement, expression, drive, perseverance, victory, willpower, accomplishment

Planetary Energy: Moon, Jupiter

Symbols: the moon, stars, horses

The archetype of The Chariot corresponds to the physical, with emphasis on perseverance and determination.

The Chariot asks us to work toward our greater divinity and harness our true power in a sense.

This archetype corresponds to the fixed and Venusian sign of Taurus.

Similar to the energy of the Moon, our own energy waxes and wanes. At its height, we can accomplish glorious things, and during its withdrawn state, there is little to do but wait for and allow divine guidance and will to move through us.

The Moon exalts in Taurus, and this is a sign that knows the importance of utilizing energy and resources wisely. And seeks to maintain balance and equilibrium by harnessing its earthy resilience when it comes.

The Chariots tells us to appreciate the energy when it comes and use its power for the greater good to enhance your life and maybe even those of your loved ones🌟

Gemini - The Lovers

Key themes of expression: commitment, unity, balance, love, cooperation, choices, completion

Planetary Energy: Mercury, Venus

Symbols: the serpent, lion, the number 6

The archetype of The Lovers corresponds to the physical, with emphasis on union & commitments.

This archetype corresponds to the mutable & Mercury ruled sign of Gemini.

The Lovers asks us to find balance within our commitments. It is the energy of marriage & choices that deeply affect our future.

The theme of communication & cooperation indicates the dual nature of Gemini is represented here.

The Lovers depicts a sacred union guided by higher realms. This archetype asks us to find harmony, equality & mutual satisfaction within our commitments.

It teaches us to honor our own nature & that of others.

Cancer - The Moon

Key themes of expression: intuition, healing, emotions, unconscious, understanding, instincts

Planetary Energy: Moon

Symbols: the moon, scorpion

The archetype of Moon corresponds to the spiritual with emphasis on emotions and the unconscious.

The Moon in tarot deals a lot with the unconscious mechanisms that drive us. Whether it be our emotions or otherwise, these things are instincts to us, and are revealed to us for better or for worse.

This archetype corresponds to the cardinal & lunar charged sign of Cancer

The Moon asks us to consider our motives, to seek out a deeper understanding of why we do the things we do. It asks us to uncover the mysteries of our own inner self and seek a deeper connection.

It’s important to know thyself, as the Temple of Delphi would claim. And this is true for Cancers, as they can be emotional, so they must seek to understand their triggers and the things that affect them deeply. This allows them to show up better in the world with more safety and trust.

Have you ever been ushered away from a spot at the beach by a crab?

I have. Cancers are very much like this, and the instincts for security and safety are strong but sometimes not necessary and not for the right reasons.

Leo - The Sun

Key themes of expression: energy, joy, vitality, creativity, power, confidence, success

Planetary Energy: Sun (duh, jk hehe)

Symbols: the sun, children, sunflowers, laurel wreath

The archetype of The Sun corresponds to the spiritual, with emphasis on happiness and positivity.

Like many things in life, this kind of energy truly sustains from within. The Sun can bring us warmth and happiness, but those are two things we also have to strive to cultivate within ourselves.

This archetype corresponds to the Fixed & solar charged sign of Leo

The Sun teaches us to make the most of the gifts we’ve been given and recognize the blessings in our lives.

The vibrancy of this card shines in a similar way Leos do in that both energies have the capacity to radiate beautiful and heartwarming energy🍯

Virgo - The Hermit

Key themes of expression: introspection, retreat, wisdom, meditation

Planetary Energy: Mercury

Symbols: staff, lamp, grey, cloak

The archetype of The Hermit corresponds to the spiritual, with emphasis on retreat & understanding.

Similar to the High Priestess, this card has much to do with seeking intuitive understanding and awareness.

This archetype corresponds to the mutable & Mercurial ruled sign of Virgo.

The Hermit tells us that this comes from within and is something we have to seek out through trusting our own inner guidance to light the way.

Virgo strives to balance its external and internal. It looks for answers and seeks to understand the world around, yet understands when to retreat and introspect.

Think of Mercury retrograde, and how it encourages us to take a step back and question ourselves and the situations around us more. It asks us to get clear on the why, what, when and where and to be certain of the answers.

This clarity only comes to us when we give ourselves the space to allow it to be received.

The Hermit asks us to remove the distractions and come into our inner sanctuary 🕯️

Libra - The Empress

Key themes of expression: Divine Feminine, nature, goddess, creativity, sensuality, beauty, fertility

Planetary Energy: Venus

Symbols: nature, crown, femininity

The archetype of The Empress corresponds to the physical, with emphasis on feminine energy and expression.

The cardinal, Venus ruled sign of Libra corresponds to this archetype.

The Empress asks us to nurture ourselves so that we may become nurturing to those around us. It is a card that speaks of the inspiration and pure energy of the feminine.

By connecting with ourselves, we can better connect with others and enhance our experience with the life around us. We become deeply present and involved.

This is what Libra seeks, a deep engagement with others and this is most easily accessed by cultivating this energy from within and allowing it to blossom.

The Empress asks us to become deeply engaged with ourselves and the things we feel connected to. Whether it be a hobby, a person, or material items.

What inspires the life within you? Find it, cultivate it, and allow it to bloom!

If you don’t know how, just ask your Libra friends 🌹

Scorpio - Death

Key themes of expression: Rebirth, transformation, endings/beginnings, cycles, releasing, transition

Planetary Energy: Pluto

Symbols: skulls ☠️

The archetype of Death corresponds to the psychological or mental plane, with emphasis on transformation.

The fixed, Pluto dominated sign of Scorpio corresponds to this archetype.

Really, this is no surprise as Scorpio rules the area of «le petit mort.» ;)

Death asks us to let go and understand when an ending is an order. It asks us to mourn, grieve and suffer the loss, no matter the cost, knowing that what’s coming after is better for us. Key word is knowing.

Death transforms us all, for better or for worse. Yet it is also psychological in a sense.

Scorpio knows how to harness this energy and allow things to run their course—all the way til the end. Granted, they might cling for dear life, but in the end, they know the truth. They might have all along.

Death tells us to know when it’s time to let go. Take note of all the times you were confronted with an ending. What did it feel like? How did it change you?

There’s no need to fear this card when it’s present everywhere and in everything. Just take it as a reminder to release whatever it is that you know needs it.

When people say Scorpios are honest, it’s just them wanting you to be your best self, and often it takes a lot of shedding of the old. xx 💋

Sagittarius - The Wheel of Fortune

Key themes of expression: luck, opportunity, new ventures, change, fate, fortune

Planetary Energy: Jupiter

Symbols: wheel, angels, alchemy

The archetype of The Wheel of Fortune corresponds to the energy of the mental, with emphasis on karma and choices.

The Jupiter ruled and fiery, mutable sign of Sagittarius corresponds to this archetype.

The Wheel of Fortune tells us that choices affect our future and actions do have consequences. But also reminds us that everything is temporary and that the wheel of life is always in effect.

Learn from your mistakes and seek out opportunities to do better so that you might in turn, experience better.

Sagittarius is a sign that really enjoys the nature of learning, growing and self-development.

Through utilizing the tools, resources and opportunities being presented to you, how can you shift things in your favor? What actions can you take to generate better outcomes? How can you manifest alongside the divine?

The Wheel of Fortune pinpoints the potential to effect positive change and shift things into our favor!

Capricorn - The Hierophant

Key themes of expression: guidance, spiritual wisdom, knowledge, counsel, growth

Planetary Energy: Saturn

Symbols: red rose, white lily, the cross

The archetype of The Hierophant corresponds to the energy of the physical, with emphasis on values and tradition.

The cardinal, Saturnian and earthy sign of Capricorn corresponds to this archetype.

The Hierophant teaches us to seek out our truth, by addressing our inner counsel, spiritual values, morals, and things we know to be true for our lives to then bring it into our tangible reality.

The Hierophant may usher you into a time of pondering & reconsidering your beliefs system. Often this advice may come through another, such as a mentor or spiritual advisor.

What’s left is greater alignment with your higher values. As any Capricorn knows, having a guiding principle and values to live by is greatly helpful in the achievement of set goals and standards.

Aquarius - The Star

Key themes of expression: hope, inspiration, healing, new beginnings, spirituality

Planetary Energy: Uranus

Symbols: stars, water, cosmic imagery

The archetype of The Star corresponds to the spiritual, with emphasis on the healing and is a wonderfully positive omen.

The Star reminds us of our potential and tells us to have faith.

This archetype corresponds to the Uranus ruled, fixed and cosmic charged sign of Aquarius.

Aquarius is known as the water bearer not because it has anything to do with water, but because it is a sign that is geared toward inspiring the collective.

Ruled by Uranus, these folks love to go forward with fresh energy and inspire change. It can be awe inspiring.

*I saw the latest add for an apple device and let me tell you it was so incredibly done—the visuals, effects, literally everything lol. Technology can be awe inspiring in this way

The Star speaks of profound energy, and pours into us the same way that humanitarians seek to pour into the world around us.

Healing is always an underlying theme here as it shows great capacity for yielding positive results that can stretch far and wide. 💫

Pisces - The High Priestess

Key themes of expression: intuition, mystery, wisdom, higher knowledge & guidance, awareness, spirituality

Planetary Energy: Moon

Symbols: the moon, religious text

The archetype of The High Priestess corresponds to the spiritual, with emphasis on intuition and understanding.

The High Priestess teaches us to connect more deeply to our soul and intuitive awareness.

This archetype corresponds to the mutable & water ruled, Neptunian sign of Pisces.

It speaks of untapped potential that lies within and shows us the ways in which we can allow it to reveal important truths to us.

Some believe this card to be connected to the sister sign of Pisces—aka Virgo. But I believe that Pisces is more accurate as true wisdom is only learned through experience and Pisces being the last sign of the zodiac, with its traditional ruler as Jupiter—has a more intimate and intrinsic knowing that this card speaks to.
