{VIRTUAL} Tarot and Astrology: Tapping the Roots
December 2 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
With the prevalence of the Smith-Waite tarot deck, many of us have only met Tarot’s astrology associations through the lens of its Golden Dawn origins, even if we aren’t using that deck.
Surprise! In fact, through the centuries, tarot-astro connections have wandered throughout the sky, pairing the planets and constellations in completely different ways. We’ll look at several key decks-of-old – Etteilla, Wirth, Falconnier, and Picard – for unique astro-associations, perspectives, insights and knowledge in each. An awareness of these roots helps deepen our capacity to bring sky-knowledge down to earth, enriching our own wise tarot-usage.
