Is your idea transforming into a hero or a zero?
How does one gauge the potential of something that doesn’t exist or is still in a seed form, basically a nascent idea? The idea would remain a zero if it is not nurtured and brought to life. It can also become a hero if it gets the required backing. The Fool card in Tarot is just that. It’s the beginning of a new journey, where the energy is unbounded, yet directionless. It’s not aware of, and is thus not bogged down by dark energies like fear, jealousy, greed, hatred, which arise from experience. The Fool has no baggage and thus it does not harbor any fear of losing out on something. It’s not afraid of failure. It is not even afraid of death!
But, if one were to look at its potential — it would be infinite.
For this Week Ahead (May 13-May 19), The Fool got pulled three times. The card can indicate fresh thinking and innovation. With nearly one-third of the cards pulled having attributes of the air element, immense out-of-the-box thinking could be shaping the world view collectively.
The World card — which indicates the culmination of The Fool’s journey, or in simpler terms, the materialization of that dream, got pulled twice. Some ideas could see the light of day.
Dreams do materialise. But not out of thin air. Persistent efforts are required to nurture them, fueled by the fire of passion as indicated by The Chariot which also came through twice, and the VIII of Pentacles which got pulled thrice.
The Fool made its appearance in Pisces, indicating endings and new beginnings emerging from the unconscious; in Scorpio, which indicate hidden transformations; and in Leo, which hints at bravery and strength required to manifest an idea.
With The World appearing in Libra and Aquarius, the materialization of the dream could bring a balance collectively to society and humanity.
What idea is reverberating in your mind right now? How can you make it into a hero? Do you have the strength and perseverance to see that idea materialise? Do share your feedback.
Unlike other columns based on zodiac signs, I make efforts every week to bring out decan-specific readings for the twelve Sun-signs. Each zodiac sign (30 degrees) is divided into three decans (10 degrees). This makes the reading more focused and accurate. It also provides better cues for the collective whole.
Which decan of the zodiac does your birthday fall in? Given below are the decan-specific tarot card readings for the respective Sun-signs.
