I Am Gemini…

The third sign of the zodiac is the perceiver of input, conductor of thought and communication, nimble overseer of networks, systems, and interconnectedness. Known for its versatility, the sign of mutable air is associated with the mind, and along with sibling air signs Libra and Aquarius, corresponds to the Swords suit- undeniably the most difficult in all the Tarot. Gemini rules Swords numbered cards 8-10 which deal with themes of paralyzing anxiety, overwhelm, and difficult endings. Perhaps, though, the entrapments of our mental prisons only seem to be restricting us... Perhaps reality is only a projection of our most troubled thoughts... As the Ace of Wings reminds us in The Pholarcos Tarot. "Allow for expansion—the importance is knowing your questions. Life will respond. Synchronicities will smile at the interest shown." - Carmen Sorrenti

Happy Spring and welcome to Season 5: Tarot Minors & The Zodiac!

Although we parted from the airwaves last December, having completed The Fool’s Journey through the majors, inspiration struck- we’re back to cover the minor arcana and their astrological associations. First up is the sign of Aries, cardinal fire element which corresponds to the suit of wands 2-4 and the queen. We hope you’ll bear with us as the first half of the episode involves much reflecting and reacclimating after our long winter’s absence.
