			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Chariot is the seventh card of the Major Arcana in tarot. It shows a young man, looking like a prince, with a crown on his head. He is standing in a chariot, pulled by two sphinxes. One of them is black and the other one is white. The prince is holding a wand or a sword in his right hand. This card is predominated by Cancer and its numerical value is twelve.<span id="more-96"></span></p>
<p>The Chariot is mostly associated with movement, travelling and change. The movement is not necessarily physical. It may mean overcoming the obstacles in life that are holding you back and stopping from achieving your goals. The Chariot represents the end of the struggle and success; winning despite adversity. It stands for coming straight to the top and beating the competition. This card is about triumph, about victory.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-98" title="Marseilles The Chariot" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r8.jpg" alt="Marseilles The Chariot" width="132" height="250" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-101" title="Minchiate The Chariot" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r81.jpg" alt="Minchiate The Chariot" width="145" height="250" /></p>
<p>However, to get where you want, you need some special qualities. The most important is determination to succeed. The Chariot tells you to focus on the goal, concentrate your energy and let nothing distract you. Knowing how to use your will properly is the key to victory. This interpretation is based on the fact that the prince in the picture is driving the chariot. The black and the white sphinxes symbolise both positive and negative emotions, which he manages to control. They serve him with their power and he decides how to use it.</p>
<p>A driver is someone who has control over something, and having control is the essence of Chariot&#8217;s meaning. In that aspect the seventh Major Arcana card stands for mastering emotions and maintaining discipline. Curb the impulses and hold your anger – they might interfere with your plans and make them difficult to carry out. Learn how to keep your emotions in perfect balance.</p>
<p>Another interpretation conciders it&#8217;s connection to the previous card – the Lovers. The Chariot acts on the basis of the decisions made by them. It&#8217;s duty is to fulfill the plans that already exist. The choices have been made and now it is time to act.</p>
<p>If you want to go fast, you have to sit in a chamber. However, in that position you lose control over the chariot and even though it goes at high speed, it can go the wrong way and you cannot stop it or change the direction. It means that it is impossible to develop discipline in a place that gives you protection and security, and without discipline there can&#8217;t be any control. Only in harsh conditions you can achieve the level of self-control, which allows you to be successful.</p>
<p>Self-esteem is also very important if you want to be in charge of your life. If you know who you are and have faith in yourself, you will be able to reach for the top. The others will respect you only as long as you respect yourself.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-104" title="Rider Waite The Chariot" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r82.jpg" alt="Rider Waite The Chariot" width="142" height="250" /><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-107" title="Rider Waite BW The Chariot" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r83.jpg" alt="Rider Waite BW The Chariot" width="128" height="217" /></p>
<p>The Chariot appears in tarot cards reading mostly if there is a need for you to take control over your emotions and make a proper use of them. They cannot be put down, but they have to be directed the right way. As the power that keeps you going, they are inseparable part of your life. For example, fear is, in general, unwanted. However, it is impossible to get rid of it. You can only deny that it exists, but that doesn&#8217;t change anything. The right thing to do is to face it and try to take control over it. That relates to other emotions, positive and negative as well.</p>
<p>From another point of view, the Chariot might also herald the victory, the successful end of a struggle. This victory is achieved through self-discipline, determination and self-confidence you managed to acquire.</p>
<p>The reversed card means a disregard for others (mainly opponents), envy and avarice. It could be a sign of riot or quarrel, which interrupt your plan and often lead to defeat. On contrary to the basic interpretation, this position stands for chaos, loss of control and imbalance, which might cause destruction. It also means that you might be unnecessarily continuing outdated ideas and traditions. The reversed Chariot warns you against overwhelming ambition. Having high expectations is not always good for you. If you take too much upon yourself, you may forget what is really your goal and lose control over everything.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fourteenth Major Arcana card in tarot is called temperance. It shows a winged figure, perhaps an angel, wearing a white robe, pouring water from one chalice to another. There is a triangle on the robe. One of the angel&#8217;s feet is standing in the water. On the horizon we can see some mountains and a light above them. The numerical value for Temperance is twelve. It is ruled by Sagittarius.<span id="more-94"></span></p>
<p>This card stands for combination, cooperation and coordination. It is also claimed to mean diplomacy, innovation and successful negotiations. Temperance is about good management and maturity in dealing with different matters, when balanced, calm temperament and ability to adapt to changing circumstances are great help, as well as good outlook.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-100" title="Marseilles Temperance" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r15.jpg" alt="Marseilles Temperance" width="130" height="250" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-103" title="Minchiate Temperance" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r151.jpg" alt="Minchiate Temperance" width="146" height="250" /></p>
<p>This tarot card is associated with compromise and looking for the golden mean. Temperance offsets extreme and tries to avoid excess. He is able to mitigate harsh situations and finds himself in the role of a moderator. In difficult cases he always manages to find compromise.</p>
<p>Another important feature of Temperance is balance. As a good manager he has to know how to foster cooperation and achieve equilibrium in it. His task is to maintain harmony, bring together opposities and recognize all sides in the matter of argument in order to find a solution.</p>
<p>According to some tarot cards interpretations, Temperance has to find new attitudes to fill in the empty spaces after Death. This is the continuation of the transformation process. It will bring harmony into your life and temper the new substance in your heart.</p>
<p>The fourteenth tarot card is also associated with health. In this aspect transformation relates to renewing physical energy and vigor and healing not only your soul, but also your body. Temperance enjoys well-being and flourishes after recovering from some kind of disease.</p>
<p>When it comes to coordination and combining forces, it is important to be able to join with others and consolidate. Temperance can properly select the team and make it work together. It is about  creating synthesis. He has all the qualities to manage this team and use its potential as much as possible.</p>
<p>The appearance of Temperance in tarot cards reading might mean the need for balance in a relationship. When you are in conflict with someone, resolving it requires compromise and cooperation. Try to think about the other person&#8217;s feelings and emotions. Try to understand them and remember that in most cases both of you are to blame. Besides, every relationship has to get through dark days, as well as the bright ones. This is necessary to maintain balance between two people. As long as you both understand it, you will be able to bring harmony back.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-106" title="Rider Waite Temperance" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r152.jpg" alt="Rider Waite Temperance" width="142" height="250" /><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-109" title="Rider Waite BW Temperance" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r153.jpg" alt="Rider Waite BW Temperance" width="128" height="210" /></p>
<p>In some cases Temperance is a sign that you are in conflict with yourself. This might lead to conflicts with other people, but remeber that you have to make things right inside you in the first place. Some claim that the inner imbalance may be caused either by pessimistic lifestyle or the excessively optimistic one. All in all, balance is necessary and essential. The Temperance card will help you to deal with these problems and make you stronger.</p>
<p>The reversed Temperance in tarot cards reading stands for imbalance and volatility. It might mean poor judgement, which leads to fickle decisions and conflicting interests, and disagreements, that may be a cause of physical stress. If you can&#8217;t understand that cooperation and harmony are essential, and winning all the time is not always possible, you overestimate your potential and try to combine too many elements in too little time. You become restless and often fail because you can&#8217;t realise the role of good management and diplomacy. Neither lack of team, nor the wrong selection is good for you. It can result in competing interests and disunion. Remember that you should avoid any extreme, even if it seems beneficial. Only balance can give you security and control. You have to be able to recognize the best possible combinations in order to create synthesis that will help you to deal with your problems.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The eighth Major Arcana card in tarot is named Strength. It pictures a woman in a white robe holding the lion&#8217;s jaws and closing them. Over her head there is a lemniscate, just like the one over the Magician. Around her waist we can see a chain of flowers and there is also a wreath on her head. The numerical value for this card is twelve and it is ruled by Leo.<span id="more-92"></span></p>
<p>There are many obvious associations which come to mind when looking at the eighth tarot card: courage, control, fortitude and, of course, strenght. Strenght is a rock, which allows you to believe that you can endure. She has gallant spirit and great stamina. Her resolve is unshakable and despite setbacks, she is still able to take the heart.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-99" title="Marseilles Strenght" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r9.jpg" alt="Marseilles Strenght" width="131" height="250" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-102" title="Minchiate Strenght" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r91.jpg" alt="Minchiate Strenght" width="143" height="250" /></p>
<p>In tarot cards interpretation the lion represents the „id” part of the mind (sometimes defined as „the beast” inside the man) and the woman stands for the higher parts of human, which are in charge of the impulses and desire. Strenght can control them just like the lion she tames in the picture. This also relates to influencing others, guiding them. Strenght is able to work with people and persuade them if necessary. What&#8217;s more, others don&#8217;t always feel like they&#8217;re being guided, as she can do it indirectly. That&#8217;s because her strenght is not physical and is stronly supported by patience and benevolence.</p>
<p>Besides control, she is also about patience and discipline. That connects Strenght to the previous card – the Chariot. Contolling emotions, being self-confident and disciplined is what they have in common. However, while the Chariot represent the external battle and using control to achieve the goal and defeat opponents, Strenght stands for rather internal challenge. It is about raising above emotions.</p>
<p>Neither the Chariot, nor Strenght relates to physical qualities of the body. Focusing on the second one, it needs patience to make its internal strenght work. With her determination she keeps pressuring the lion to close its jaws and eventually forces him to obey. This shows that even with a little power a lot can be done as long as you are disciplined and patient. As wise people say, dripping hollows out a stone.</p>
<p>Some claim that Strenght doesn&#8217;t relate to emotions at all, that it is all about determination and action. This is because she refuses to get angry, deals calmly with frustration and doesn&#8217;t let the feelings take control. On the other hand, triumph over emotions doesn&#8217;t mean that they just disappear.</p>
<p>One of the interpretations says that Strenght is connected with compassion. She gives others lots of space, but understands their feelings as well. She also tends to forgive imperfection and has ability to tolerate and accept different people. Strenght is about generosity and being kind. She is also associated with reconciliation.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-105" title="Rider Waite Strenght" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r92.jpg" alt="Rider Waite Strenght" width="142" height="250" /><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-108" title="Rider Waite BW Strenght" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r93.jpg" alt="Rider Waite BW Strenght" width="128" height="224" /></p>
<p>When Strenght appears in tarot cards reading, you can be sure that you have already mastered all the important qualities she represents. Believe that you are able to contol the impulses and desire in order to make them obiedient. Sometimes you need to suppress emotions to hear your intuition and get rid of fear that stops you from moving forward.</p>
<p>However, remember that the physical force can lead you nowhere. It is the power of the mind, of the will that allows you to defeat „the beast” inside you. And don&#8217;t forget to be patient. Maintain composure and don&#8217;t get discouraged. Take your time, but remember not to let emotions run free.</p>
<p>The reversed Strenght might mean the wrong use of power, which often leads to defeat and loss of the willpower. It also symbolises concession. If you lose confidence and patience, you will also lose the ability to act. This position of the eighth tarot card represents surrender to unworthy impulses. If you listen to them, they will take contol over you and make it difficult to master your emotions again.</p>
<p>Strenght in reversed position also means despotism and abuse of power. It is connected with discord or even disgrace, often caused by impatience and intolerance. Therefore, remember not to lose control over your emotions. Even though it sometimes seems hard, it will protect you from consequences, which may be painful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The eleventh Major Arcana card in tarot pictures Justice in shape of a woman figure sitting on a throne between two pillars with a sword in one hand and a scale in the other. She is wearing a red robe and a crown. We can see a purple veil between the pillars behind the woman. The numerical value for this card is twelve. It is predominated by Libra. In some decks Justice is numbered the eighth card. The other ones concider it the twelfth.<span id="more-70"></span></p>
<p>Justice is associated with law and legal action. It is usually connected with resolution of conflicts, in most cases amicable and favourable. It might concern litigation, contracts, settlement or even divorce. It is also connected with the legal aspect of marriage, when legal or financial documents or contracts are involved.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-85" title="Rider Waite BW The Justice" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r123.jpg" alt="Rider Waite BW The Justice" width="128" height="217" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-82" title="Rider Waite The Justice" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r122.jpg" alt="Rider Waite The Justice" width="142" height="250" /></p>
<p>The eleventh Major Arcana card stands for respecting justice. It is not only about being involved in legal concerns, but being fair and impartial in the first place. Justice seeks equality and honesty. She insists on fairness and acts on ethical principles to do what&#8217;s right. It is not about what you want, but what&#8217;s fair.</p>
<p>Some claim that this tarot card stands for the laws of the Universe, not the man-made. However, this also refers to being fair, as the double-edged sword in the picture suggests.</p>
<p>In tarot cards interpretation Justice is also claimed to mean responsibility and being accountable for your actions. She symbolises a person who can handle the situation and is able to do what&#8217;s right. In that apect she is about settling old accounts and admitting involvement.</p>
<p>Justice tells you that it is important to prepare yourself before you make a decision and weigh all sides of an issue. Balancing all factors will help you to determine the right action and make a choice with full awareness.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-79" title="Minchiate The Justice" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r121.jpg" alt="Minchiate The Justice" width="147" height="250" /><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-78" title="Marseilles The Justice" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r12.jpg" alt="Marseilles The Justice" width="132" height="250" /></p>
<p>Concidering most tarot cards interpretations, one of the major issues is to understand the connection between cause and effect. Every action you take and your every decision has its consequences. They might not occur immediately, but you have to be aware that they will in their own time. According to this interpretation, the veil between pillars hides the machinations of the universe which cause the results of your actions.</p>
<p>This is strongly connected with Karma: everything happens for a reason and everything you do will return to you eventually. Justice is about noticing the connection between actions and seeing that it makes sense. Awareness of these connections will help you to be mindful of what you do and make the right choices.</p>
<p>The appearance of Justice in tarot cards reading should remind you of the law of cause and effect. It might be time to settle old accounts. Consequences of something you&#8217;ve done are about to occur, whether it was a bad or a good thing. You will be either punished or rewarded. All in all, these consequences are inevitable, as justice has to be done. This card might be a warning: don&#8217;t do anything you might regret in the future. It also tells you to be impartial and fair in your judgements. In this aspect Justice is a sign that you will find qualities of a good jugde in yourself. However, before you try to solve new problems, you have to face the old ones. When you settle all your accounts, you will be able to make the right decisions about the present. Justice will help you to be reasonable and recognize the actions of Karma.</p>
<p>When Justice appears in tarot cards reading reversed, it means injustice, inequality and bias. It stands for the imbalance that causes delays and cofusion, possibly about legal cases. This may lead to delayed or, what&#8217;s worse, unfair judgement. It might also mean separations that are not ratified or legalised. Unlike the upright position, the reversed one is associated with legal complications, bigotry and excessive severity in judgement. This relates to you if you are unfair, take sides and forget to respect justice. It is not easy to maintain balance in judgements, but it is essential if you want to be fair. Reversed Justice appears also to those who can&#8217;t jugde themselves and try to avoid consequences of their actions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Hanged Man as the twelfth Major Arcana card in tarot pictures a man hanged upside down by one foot on a tree or a wooden beam. He has a nimbus about his head. There are leaves on the tree, which is a sign that it is living wood. We can see from the man&#8217;s face that he is in trance, not pain, as the situation might suggest. The numerical value for the Hanged Man is three and it is predominated by Water.<span id="more-68"></span></p>
<p>The first association that comes to mind when looking at this card is suspension. Indeed, it is connected with temporary suspension of progress. It also stands for flexibility of mind, the will to adapt to changes. The Hanged Man also meas devoting to worthwhile cause and sacrificing to it in the present in order to achieve success in the future. This is connected with the waiting period, patience and even transformation or rebirth. In addition to that, the Hanged Man is also associated with turning circumstances on their head.</p>
<p>On one hand, this card stands for letting go. Here it means releasing emotions and accepting the situation. It is about surrender, but not the negative one. The Hanged Man surrenders to experience, which will bring him great benefits. He sacrifices his life to God&#8217;s will, which makes him vulnerable, but also open. He doesn&#8217;t revolt, but simply gives up control and accepts what comes his way.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-86" title="Rider Waite BW The Hanged Man" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r133.jpg" alt="Rider Waite BW The Hanged Man" width="128" height="220" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-83" title="Rider Waite The Hanged Man" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r132.jpg" alt="Rider Waite The Hanged Man" width="142" height="250" /></p>
<p>On the other hand, this sacrifice has its rewards. The Hanged Man renounces any claims and puts himself in a position of martyr. He does one step back, but only to make two steps forward. He knows that the benefits will come later. However, now it is time to put his self-interest aside and sacrifie for the higher cause.</p>
<p>Another aspect of this tarot card meaning is suspension. The Hanged Man pauses himself in time, gives up urgency and uses this moment to think about his situation. This is not only the time for reflection, but also a geat moment to wait for the best opportunity and step in when it appears. Sometimes he needs time to just be and gives up any action to take it.</p>
<p>According to tarot cards interpretation, the Hanged Man stands for reversing. This might mean turning the world around and overturning old priorities in general, but also changing your mind or the chance to look at things from a new angle. It might be a radical change, which will turn everything upside down, just like in the picture.</p>
<p>Some claim that this card is based on the mythological god, Odin, suspended from The World Tree, pierced by his own spear in order to gain wisdom and power. This is also related to sacrificing yourself for the higher cause and waiting to reap benefits in the future.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-80" title="Minchiate The Hanged Man" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r131.jpg" alt="Minchiate The Hanged Man" width="144" height="250" /><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-74" title="Marseilles The Hanged Man" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r13.jpg" alt="Marseilles The Hanged Man" width="131" height="250" /></p>
<p>The appearance of the Hanged Man in tarot cards reading might be a sing that you should stop for a while and look at your situation from a different point of view. Usually it is connected with restraining yourself from action. Though it might look like moving back, it isn&#8217;t. Even by doing nothing you can make things happen, unless you try to force them. It is time to give up control and accept what is. Remember that your sacrifice will be rewarded, as long as you are ready to give up something important in order to make place for something new.</p>
<p>When the Hanged Man appears in tarot cards reading reversed, it means lack of commitment and preoccupation with material things. It also stands for oppression, lack of space and apathy. All these things lead to inability to move forward. If you forget that sometimes you have to give up something that holds you back, you hang on to this and cannot progress. The reversed position of this card tells you that you are not able to let go your old habits and this is the kind of suspension that stops changes. You should pause time, as the Hanged Man says, and let the current take you. It will help you to leave the negative thing behind and then you will be ready to move forward. Don&#8217;t be selfish. Realise that if you sometimes forget your self-interest for a moment, you might receive a great reward later. Just take your time and be patient. The enlightenment will come.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Death is the thirteenth card of the Major Arcana in tarot. It shows a skeleton knight in black armor on the white horse. He is holding a black banner with a white flower on it. There are dead and dying people from all social classes around the rider, which tells us that to death everyone is equal. In the background we can see the setting sun between the two pillars. It is claimed to be a symbol of immortality. Death is predominated by Scorpio. Its numerical value is twelve.<span id="more-66"></span></p>
<p>Though death is usually associated with ending something, it is also the beginning of something new. It might be understood as completing a chapter in your life, bringing to a close an unfinished business. It may seem scary, as ending something we know and got used to means that something new is about to come, something unknown. However, nothing lasts forever and sometimes you have to leave your past behind and move on. The changes will be major. The ending phase in your life has already served its purpose and it is time for transformation.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-87" title="Rider Waite BW The Death" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r143.jpg" alt="Rider Waite BW The Death" width="128" height="211" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-84" title="Rider Waite The Death" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r142.jpg" alt="Rider Waite The Death" width="142" height="250" /></p>
<p>However, it is not the card of destruction. Death is connected with transition you have to go through. It is about changing status,  being in the middle and waiting for the uknown. Some versions of the card show a river, which is a symbol reminding us that life will go on, no matter what happens. Another symbol is the sun, shining constantly, regardless of the dying people around. Even the physical death of human is interpreted as transformation – the soul is immortal. The sun can be also interpreted as the symbol of resurrection. All in all, there is no reason to be afraid. Fighting it is also pointless. The changes are inevitable, but also beneficial. This reminds us of the Hanged Man – sometimes you just have to let go.</p>
<p>Tarot cards interpretation says that Death is also connected with eliminating excess. In order to make space for new things, you have to cut out those, which are not necessary anymore. It is about getting rid of the old attitudes and getting back to basics. Death focuses on what&#8217;s most important, the essentials.</p>
<p>Death represents inexorable forces. You can&#8217;t beat them, so there is no point in struggle. The only thing you can do is to accept what Fate brings. Remember that you cannot avoid it, so it is better to stay vulnerable and wait for the right moment to step in.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-81" title="Minchiate The Death" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r141.jpg" alt="Minchiate The Death" width="145" height="250" /><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-75" title="Marseilles The Death" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/r14.jpg" alt="Marseilles The Death" width="131" height="250" /></p>
<p>When Death appears in tarot cards reading, it is a sign of major changes that are about to influence your life. Usually it is connected with something in your life, maybe some attitide that is not needed anymore. Perhaps it is even harmful for you, but you hold on to it and can&#8217;t let it go. The thirteenth Major Arcana card forces you to give up old habits and accept the changes. It helps you to believe that these changes are for your own good. Everyone needs renewal from time to time, and now it is time for you.</p>
<p>Death also warns you of too high expectations, fear, revenge and intolerance. Before you transform, you have to look back and get rid of all the negativity to make space for the positive changes that will help you to regenerate. It is not easy. As we all know, old habits die hard, but without this examination of conscience it is impossible to move forward. You have to realise that the best thing you can do for yourself is to set your soul free and let it fulfill with the new energy.</p>
<p>The reversed position of Death means sleep, lethargy, inertia, petrifaction, somnambulism. In addition to that, it also stands for exhaustion (mental, physical or emotional), which is connected with the agonising part of transition. Unlike the uprigh position, the reversed one is associated with the inability or refusal to face fear and changes. Sometimes when you are too afraid of the changes, you try to avoid or fight them. As the basic interpretation says, these actions are pointless and therefore with that attitude the changes will be painful and unpleasant. This position of Death is also associated with the destroyed hope. However, sometimes we hope for things that would have bad influence on our life, so it is better that they never happen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fifteenth card of the Major Arcana in tarot is called the Devil. It depicts a winged demon with two horns and a reversed pentagram between them. His right hand is raised up. He is holding a flaming torch in his left hand. Below the Devil there are naked man and woman, chained to the demon&#8217;s seat. This card is predominated by Capricorn. Its numerical value is twelve.<span id="more-39"></span></p>
<p>The Devil is associated with money matters and the material side of life in general. It relates to the desire for material and physical things, which leads to collecting and hoarding them. This is strongly connected with lust and even sexual obsession, that might cause frustration and oppression. The Devil is also about the awareness of your own needs and desires, including the desire for creative or spiritual fulfillment.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-42" title="Marseilles The Devil" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r16.jpg" alt="Marseilles The Devil" width="130" height="250" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-56" title="Minchiate The Devil" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r163.jpg" alt="Minchiate The Devil" width="147" height="250" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-48" title="Rider Waite The Devil" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r161.jpg" alt="Rider Waite The Devil" width="142" height="250" /><img class="size-full wp-image-52 alignright" title="Rider Waite Bw The Devil" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r162.jpg" alt="Rider Waite Bw The Devil" width="128" height="213" /></p>
<p>Concidering the two figures, chained to the Devil&#8217;s seat, we can tell that this card is in some aspect connected with bondage, being tied down and losing independence. This means allowing to be controlled, submitting to someone and becoming addicted and enslaved. It might be associated with accepting an unwated situation. According to tarot cards interpretations, allowing the Devil to take control over you means allowing others in real life to do the same. This kind of control can only harm you and turn your own powers against you.</p>
<p>Some claim that the picture relates to the Lovers card, where the man and the woman are blessed by an angel. The Devil is said to curse them. The is no love anymore, only lust and attachment to the demon.</p>
<p>This card also stands for focusing on the material aspect of life. The Devil makes you forget the spiritual values and believe only in the physical ones. It is about overindulging the senses, getting and spending unscropulously, without shame. This kind of life devastates your soul and makes you more an animal than a human being.</p>
<p>Another meaning of the Devil is staying in ignorance and being unaware of the truth. However, it is your own choice to live in the dark and be taken by appearances. If you choose this way, you will become limited and fear the unknown. But if you decide to break free and throw off the chains, you will experience enightenment. Only you can make yourself a slave.</p>
<p>On the other hand the Devil means lack of hope and faith. The negative thinking does not help to break the chains, as it makes you see the world in black and doubt your possibilities and your future. If you are in despair and believe the worst, you have no desire and no strenght to set your soul free.</p>
<p>The appearance of the Devil in tarot cards reading means that you have lost control over your life and faith in your potential. You begin to be ignorant and focus on the material possessions. Lack of faith in yourself causes lack of faith in spiritual powers and values. Therefore you become a slave of wordly matters and desires, not wishing to break free. However, remember that it all depends on you and what you want. No one has control over you unless you allow it. To release yourself, you just have to believe your abilities, you have to want to be free. If you use your power and positive energy, you will be able to see the light again. You will get control over your life back and gain hope to look into your future optimistically.</p>
<p>When the Devil appears in tarot cards reading reversed, it means weakness, blindness, greed and uncontrolled ambition. If you focus too much on material success, you forget about more important things, like spiritual and moral values. Just like in the basic interpretation, the reversed position of this card stands for bondage to something or someone, which here may be connected with emotional blackmail. It is also associated with the abuse of authority and evil fatality. All these things make you weak and setting yourself free becomes even more difficult. Though Devil in reversed position is claimed to mean true evil, remember that no evil has power over you as long as you really want to be free and aware. Just be strong and believe in your potential. Don&#8217;t chain yourself and no one else will make you a slave.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The eighteenth card of the Major Arcana in tarot is the Moon. It is large and bright, with sixteen chief rays and sixteen secondary rays. Two beasts, reminding dogs are howling at it and there is a crayfish coming out of the water. We can see a path between the beasts. The Moon is frowning, suspended between two pillars. The numerical value for this card is twelve. It is predominated by Pisces.<span id="more-36"></span></p>
<p>The Moon is associated with imagination, dreams and psychic impressions. It is about illusions and inability to see things clearly, which might lead to losing control over your real life and depression. This card also stands for psychic work, such as fiction writing or acting, which is connected with entertainment industry. The Moon also relates to the unconscious mind.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-46" title="Marseilles The Moon" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r19.jpg" alt="Marseilles The Moon" width="132" height="250" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-60" title="Minchiate The Moon" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r194.jpg" alt="Minchiate The Moon" width="147" height="250" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-51" title="Rider Waite The Moon" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r191.jpg" alt="Rider Waite The Moon" width="142" height="250" /><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-55" title="Rider Waite Bw The Moon" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r192.jpg" alt="Rider Waite Bw The Moon" width="128" height="226" /></p>
<p>According to tarot cards interpretation, the eighteenth Major Arcana card is about feeling fear. Your subconsciousness releases your inner demons and you begin to feel a nameless anxiety. The Moon is associated with being overcome by phobias and lacking courage to face the reality. You give in to the shadow inside you and become your own enemy.</p>
<p>Another weakness the Moon tells about is believing illusions. When the real life is not as beautiful as you wanted it to be, you start to deceive yourself and create your own world, idealistic and unreal. You misapprehend the truth and accept the false picture to feel better. The distortions and unrealistic ideas are your escape from cold reality. You chase after a fantasy and forget about your everyday life.</p>
<p>However, stimulating the imagination can be a positive thing. Opening to fantasies and plumbing the unconscious can be an exciting experience. The Moon stands for vivid dreams and visions, the unusual and original thoughts. Those who don&#8217;t have such fertile imagination may think of you as bizzare and outlandish.</p>
<p>Sometimes you can get lost in your dreams and fantasies and feel bewildered. When lies and illusions are involved, you will definitely lose direction at some point and become confused. You will have trouble thinking clearly and distinguishing fantasy from reality. This will make you feel disoriented, as living in a lie is always like wandering in the dark.</p>
<p>The two creatures, howling at the Moon are claimed to be a dog and a wolf. The second one symbolises the wild side of human&#8217;s nature. Both of them are claimed to stand for our fears and the fact that everyone can submit to illusions, no matter how intelligent and civilized he is.</p>
<p>If the Moon appears in tarot cards reading, it is a warning for you. Something you believe in is not true, not what it seems to be. You have to look around carefully, but first of all search inside your mind. It is probably the illusion you have created yourself to make your life look brighter and more beautiful. However, in real world there are many traps and dangers you don&#8217;t want to see. If you notice that, you will be able to deal with them and succeed.</p>
<p>On the other hand, maybe you think that your situation is hopeless and all you can do is to escape into your imaginary world. Take a look around and find out that your life is not as horrible as you think. You can&#8217;t move on if you&#8217;re dreaming constantly. Take a step forward and realise that you have to take care of your real life, even though it is a lot more difficult.</p>
<p>The Moon might also mean that you have lost your way and now you wander around aimlessly. It is possible that you&#8217;re on the wrong path. The best thing you can do in this situation is to listen to your intuition and let it guide you. Use your psychic forces and find out where to go.</p>
<p>When the Moon appears in tarot cards reading reversed, it means the need for secrecy or even deception. As in the basic interpretation, it stands for escaping into illusions and daydreams to avoid dealing with the real life. It makes you unable to discern reality from fantasies. This position is also associated with insincere people, trickery and hidden forces. Maybe you cannot reveal the truth and desperately need help. Remember that when you live in the world of illusions, there is a great danger that you will get lost and won&#8217;t be able to get back to real life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Star is the seventeenth Major Arcana card in tarot. It depicts naked blond woman, kneeling by the water, with one foot in it and the other on the land. She is holding a jug in each hand and pouring out water from them. We can see the stars in the blue sky above the woman. One of them is big and golden, the other seven are white. The Star is ruled by Aquarius and its numerical value is twelve.<span id="more-34"></span></p>
<p>The seventeenth Major Arcana card is associated with fresh hope and renewal. It could be renewal of hope and faith, connected with healing some old wounds. The Star means spiritual love, promise and fulfillment. It broadens mental and physical horizons and brings inspiration. She has the ability to influence others with the help of her vigor and confidence. Sometimes she can be associated with protection.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-45" title="Marseilles The Star" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r18.jpg" alt="Marseilles The Star" width="131" height="250" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-58" title="Minchiate The Star" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r183.jpg" alt="Minchiate The Star" width="145" height="250" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-50" title="Rider Waite The Star" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r181.jpg" alt="Rider Waite The Star" width="142" height="250" /><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-54" title="Rider Waite Bw The Star" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r182.jpg" alt="Rider Waite Bw The Star" width="128" height="215" /></p>
<p>According to tarot cards interpretation, the Star is about regaining hope. She is full of optimism and positive thinking. Feeling great expectations, she is looking forward to achieve success and really believes that she will. This card is about having faith and seeing the light at the end of a tunnel. This attitude is the key to reaching your goals. Everything is possible as long as you believe.</p>
<p>She also brings inspiration you need to create. You will regain motivation and realize your own strenght. The Star stimulates you to a higher level. You are aware of your potential and see your way clearly. This card brings you a fresh look at your situation and brand new ideas. You become ready to act. You want it. You were lost, but the light of the Star appeared on your way and now everything is clear. Your soul is free and full of hope. It looks forward to manifest its power and begin the act of creation.</p>
<p>Some claim that the Star stands for being generous. In this aspect she represents the desire to give or share what you own. If your heart is open and grateful for the regained hope, you want to give back what you have received. It is not about the material possessions, but the spiritual wealth. The Star means sharing love and expecting nothing in return. It is true only if it&#8217;s unconditional.</p>
<p>This card is also associated with serenity, peace and relaxation. Find your still center and enjoy harmony. Mellow out and savour perfect calm. It&#8217;s a good moment to forget about troubles and regenerate. It will help you to take a fresh look at your problems and get back to life with new energy.</p>
<p>It seems that the appearance of the Star in the reading could bring only positive things, as it is associated with hope and inspiration. It fulfills your heart with spiritual energy so you could believe in your potential and use it in the act of creation. Even if the time is hard for you, she will prove that the powers of the universe are ready to help you, as long as you have faith in yourself and trust your abilities. Set your mind free. In spite of the difficulties, don&#8217;t ever give up. This is not the time to worry, this is the time to believe, use your inspiration and create. The Star will light your way. Obviously, it won&#8217;t tell you exactly what to do, but you don&#8217;t need that. You already have all it takes to find it.</p>
<p>This card is claimed to be a sign that you are at the beginning of your way and there is still a lot of work to do. However, the longest journey begins with the first step and that step has just been made. Now you just have to hold on to your inner light and constantly believe in your potential to get where you want.</p>
<p>If the Star appears in the reading reversed, it might mean impotence, haughtiness and arrogance. Maybe your lack of faith, self doubt and stubborness are making you unwilling and unable to accept and use opportunities. Changing circumstances are overwhelming you. You can&#8217;t adapt to them. There are too many obstacles on your way and it is impossible to overcome them. It makes it impossible for you to express yourself and makes your mind rigid. Remember not to surrender to depression and always have faith. Realise that going through hard times can make you stronger, as long as you don&#8217;t give up and do your best despite the adversities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Tower is the sixteeenth Major Arcana card in tarot. It shows a tower hit by a lightening. It is collapsing, the flames are coming out of the windows. Two people are falling down from the tower. The background is black with grey clouds of smoke. The Tower is predominated by Mars. The numerical value for this card is nine.</p>
<p><span id="more-30"></span></p>
<p>The sixteeenth tarot card is believed to mean disruption, conflict and change. Sometimes it might mean sudden loss or major changes. They may be interpreted as the overthrow of an existing life or disruption of well worn routines. The changes seem rather negative, as the Tower is associated with ruin and disturbance. It is about dramatic upheaval, which might mean a change of residence or job, but ended with enlightenment and freedom. It is also connected with widespread repercussion of actions.<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-44" title="Marseilles The Tower" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r17.jpg" alt="Marseilles The Tower" width="131" height="250" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-57" title="Minchiate The Tower" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r173.jpg" alt="Minchiate The Tower" width="146" height="250" /><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-49" title="Rider Waite The Tower" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r171.jpg" alt="Rider Waite The Tower" width="142" height="250" /><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-53" title="Rider Waite Bw The Tower" src="http://www.tarot-cards.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/r172.jpg" alt="Rider Waite Bw The Tower" width="128" height="209" /></p>
<p>The Tower is another of the tarot cards associated with changes. In this case, they are sudden, unexpected and caused by the disruption of your plans. They involve disturbance of your routine and bring chaos to your life. This card means undergoing a crisis.</p>
<p>However, this crisis helps you to release your emotions, break through pretence and erupt in anger. You will be able to crash through ego defence and leave the negativity behind. Sometimes you just have to explode and have the emotional outburst to clear your heart and make space for the new things and ideas.</p>
<p>As the picture on the card suggests, the Tower is connected with falling down and experiencing spiritual or emotional crash. Physical toppling from the hights is associated with being humbled and<br />
suffering blow to your ego. It is also about downturn in fortune, a bad period in life, when the run of luck is over and you are no more on top.</p>
<p>However, the old tower usually collapses to make space for the new one. If you let go your old, outdated attitudes and beliefs, you&#8217;ll begin to see the truth in a flash. Reject the illusions and you will get all the answers you need. Sometimes you have to expose what&#8217;s hidden, which is difficult, as the material things are the easiest to see. Don&#8217;t hold on to them, because they will lead you nowhere. It is the power of spirit and mind that can help you to build a tower that will last.</p>
<p>If the Tower appears in reading, according to tarot cards interpretation, it means that you already possess the wisdom and strength to let go the old attitudes that hold you back and stop you from  moving on with your life. You are now able to solve the conflicts and handle the changes that are waiting  for you. Even though the future might seem dangerous because it&#8217;s unknown, clinging to the old ideas is even more dangerous. If you stay in your materialistic tower, you will collapse with it. The downfall is inevitable, so it is better to leave and find out what is really important in life.</p>
<p>The collapse of the Tower might also be a symbol of destruction of the metaphorical wall, hiding your secrets or true personality. When this card appears, there is no more place for lies and fantasies. It is the ultimate time to find out the truth and end the illusions that make you feel safe, but don&#8217;t allow to move forward. This might seem harsh, but it is for your own good. You have to learn to live in the real world, not the world of fantasies and daydreams.</p>
<p>The reversed position of the Tower means negativity, restriction of desires and imprisonment. It might be a sing of the drastic changes that are not expected and rob you of the freedom of expression. These changes are sudden and out of your control. It is usually conected with being imprisoned within a set of circumstances that cannot be altered for the time being. You don&#8217;t know what to do or where to go, the Tower has brought you to a position where you feel completely lost and alone. This position doesn&#8217;t herald freedom, it is about tyranny and being a prisoner. It might also foreshadow bankruptcy. Remember not to hold on to material things or go by appearances. You have a real life to live. This is more important than your fantasies, because it&#8217;s true. You have dreamed, but now it is time to wake up and face the reality.</p>
