HERE COMES THE SUN!!!

#19

THE SUN

Constellation of the Magician

19-10-1

With so many remarkable images, it is indeed difficult to select one deck.

How do you choose?

The artwork usually grabs the eye

but the text is equally important.

So, here we are at #19

or XIX

with a series of images.

Comments are a selection from the tarot study group

Rotarota

Gemstone associated with The Sun:  Topaz

Making it happen, a culmination of energies,

ripening, reaching out, an awakened mind

Free and unencumbered, no longer a wallflower,

now, a sunflower.

A future never imagined.

The will of the tarot speaks the law of love

Dedicate ourselves to Love

Truth rising after a dark night

Spiritual wisdom through darkness

Robust and encouraging

Lugh, the bold Sun God
Carry the sun within

A time of growth and delight.

Circular patterns of life cycles.

Self expression.

Rejoice.  Purity.  Strength.

Let there is Light.

Alchemical key:  Source behind the Source

The Lovers escape The Devil and unite in Light

Red and orange equal power,

more power than anywhere.

Potential.  Celebration.

Freedom to express the inner Light,

To accept heavenly gifts, unadorned

Questions to ask myself:

How and where am I successful?

What lights up my world?

What or who makes me happy and optimistic?

Where do I feel joy and self love?

What could burn me out?

What metaphor does the Sun have for you now?

Relax as she waxes.

Walk in beauty.

All Fall Down

#16

The Tower

Lightning strikes. Smash, Crash, Crumble.

Fall down.  9/11

Tsunami, Katrina, Oso Earthquakes. Fire.

Ego.  Rigidity can no longer sustain form.

Explosion, World Trade Center, chaos

upheaval, ripped asunder,

dark and stormy, crumbling

tumble with the energy, regain balance

cracks in the foundation,

tidal waves of overwhelming power,

my solid home is not safe,

perceptions change,

calamity will bring us back 

to our higher power,

open your eyes as the world changes,

be alert, old structures have failed,

sparks of the source strike from above,

shatter, new doors open,

swaying structure electrifies the mind,

energizes new possibilities,

turn away, what was

isn't

Now, #16, The Tower speaks:

I am a fine structure, sturdy, everlasting.  O, the many who labored on cold, colorless days, setting each brink, forming each arch, window, hallway, driven onward by an architect's whip, a maniac's dream, set up here above the hoards.  Forever I shall be.  I will outlast the pyramids and the stars. 

i am...wait...a storm rumbles...rain and wind lash....wait...debris crashes through my orifices...WAIT...stop this storm.  No no not my crown...my edifice is blasted like lightning to your cheek.  Oh.  i ...am...crumbling.  i cannot... maintain . . . form.

The stone for The Tower is Red Agate.

Astrological assoication:  Mars

Soul Archetype:  Hero, Warrior, Quest, Power-Over

Words that may apply:  break through, illuminating energy unleashed, insights that strike the crown and shatter rigidity,

willing to be an individual, take upsets in strikde, adrenalin, emotions, ups and downs,

cut through all opposition, not afraid to show anger, pride, arrogance, intensity and passion, exhaustion

and depression, alienation.

In dealing with #16 The Tower, take time to conside # 7 The Chariot, both of the same constellation.
