Tarot Tip Tuesdays - Numbers In Tarot

Whether you are new to Tarot and in the throes of building a connection with your Tarot cards or an advanced Tarot reader diligently honing your Tarot reading skills, I am putting out a Tarot tip a week to help you to consistently make Tarot a part of your everyday life.

So here goes your Tarot Tip for this Tuesday:

Every morning, I would post the numerological summary of that particular day up in my Sun Goddess Tarot Facebook page.  Today, I did the same and the following was my numerological summary for the day. 

"24 June 2014. Today is numerologically governed by 1.  Pat yourself on the back for the hard work in navigating those obstacles yesterday.  Today, you will steel yourself with the resolve to  make a fresh start.  You will take on a new perspective on what had gone wrong yesterday.  You would want to look at turning yesterday's challenges into tomorrow's opportunities and literally seize the day with that conviction to re-chart your goals in the right direction and on your terms.  This is the day you will learn something new about yourself and about the people around you."

I began to think about all the Number 1 cards in Tarot across the Tarot suits. Numerologically 1 is about new beginnings and a fresh start.  The Aces of all the suits are no different.  

The Ace of Pentacles heralds new opportunities, a new job offer, the manifestation of a goal. The  Ace of Wands represents new inspiration, new creative idea, a new business venture.  The Ace of Cups brings on the beginning of a romance, new love, start of new emotional connectivity,  the beginning of creative expression, and sometimes an indication of birth or pregnancy.  The Ace of Swords promises a break-through in a situation, assures one of a new direction, and points to mental clarity with which you can start to move forward with your goals. 

Even in the Major Arcana, the Magician is the number 1 card and indeed harnesses the energies of 1 in numerology.  It is a card that sees one with the ability to move forward or manifest a goal because of his skills, creativity and determination.  All 4 suits appear in the Magician card almost as if to encourage you to harness the elemental power of the Aces of each suit.

Even the Fool, though technically the number 0 card in the Major Arcana is really the card that kickstarts the entire Tarot journey and it symbolizes new beginnings. 0 though in numerology is a number of infinity, an enhancer and symbolizes potential. As my favourite card, I like to think of it that without this number 0 card or the Fool, the number 1 or the Magician could never exist.

When you do Tarot readings, do pay special attention to the number of the card and draw the connection between the card and the vibrational energy of the number.  Tomorrow 25 June 2014 is governed by number 2 in Numerology (2+5+6+2+01+4 = 2+0 =2).  Think about the 2 of each of the Tarot suits and connect it with the characteristics of 2 in numerology. 2 is about balance, connectedness, vision, tactfulness, diplomacy, support.  How do they relate to the 2 of Pentacles, 2 of Wands, 2 of Cups and 2 of Swords. Indeed, relate it also to the number 2 card in the Major Arcana, the High Priestess. The High Priestess is personified by the ancient mythological story of Persophone who led a life that balanced that between darkness and light.  She represented vision, truth and insight of the external world drawn from deep within one's inner wisdom and knowledge.  Do read my blog post about the Tarot Twos.

That is why I enjoy combining Tarot with  Numerology and there are so many different ways to do so.  It's just so much more fun, isn't it?

May your Tarot cards provide you with a full deck of possibilities throughout your day.
