Day three: Eight of Wands.
The vast majority of the specialists consider the Eight of Wands the easier to read Tarot card. Its general significance is motion and change. More specifically represent a sudden change.
Although these changes may appear sudden and unexpected, actually they represent the natural dynamics of the life: one day we are up, next day will be down, just like the motion of the wheel.
The cards’ Major Arcane patron is The Wheel. The Wheel represents major changes on a global level. The Eight of Wands represents consistent changes in our current way of life. In both cases, these are changes coming from the outside, not changes we choose to do. Read more 78 days Tarot challenge, day three

I heard lot of good things about Alejandro Jodorowsky’s book on Tarot, then I read a couple of positive comments on different Tarot forums and specific social media groups. Finally, I stumbled across a quite interesting book synopsis which determined to read the book.
I have to admit, I had quite high expectations, and somewhat I was pretty disappointed. I will explain.
For the beginning, let’s see who Alejandro Jodorowsky is?
Born to Jewish-Ukrainian and Polish parents in Chile, Alejandro Jodorowsky Prullansky (17 February 1929) is a Chilean-French film and theatre director, screenwriter, playwright, actor, author, poet, producer, composer, musician, comics writer, and spiritual guru, currently living in Paris (France).

Fortune-telling interpretation:
Upright: celibacy, virginity, abbot, priest, monk or other male religious devotee, hermit, nun. Temple, church, monastery, convent, hermitage, sanctuary. Cult, religion, piety, devotion, rite, ceremony, ritual. Male recluse, female recluse, anchorite, vestal.
Reversed: Justified mistrust, well-founded suspicion, legitimate fear, distrust, doubt, conjecture. Scruple, god-fearing conscience, pure, timidity, propriety. Disgrace, shame.
Divination:
Nine of Swords – Mars in the second decan of Gemini.
Upright: Adaptable and love the changes, the Mars in Gemini persons quickly get bored and are inclined to go in many directions at once. At this point, the best approach is not to focus on a single, but work in parallel on several projects, respectively make investments in different ventures. The Nine of Swords personify the best the saying: don’t put all the eggs in the same basket. Creativity and imagination are at their highest pick now. If the circumstances are right, it is time for experiments and adventures.
Reversed: unfocused, unsettled, superficiality and one-night stand.

If I should chose one and only one book which marked me and changed my view of the world as a whole and my understanding of esoteric teachings, without any hesitation I would pick Ouspensky’s “In Search of the Miraculous”. Ouspensky managed to synthesize and systematize the essence of Gurdjieff’s teachings perfectly and accessible for anybody. Read more P. D. Ouspensky – In Search of the Miraculous
