Day ten: King of Swords.
The King cards are the tricky ones of the Tarot deck. Actually, the key to understanding the architecture of the Tarot deck lays within the Court Cards.
And once again, it is a matter of understanding the genders and the position on the Zodiac Wheel of each card. It is crucial to understand the significance of the Tarot deck in its entirety, and not taking the cards one by one out of context. Read more 78 days Tarot challenge, day ten
Third gender, cultural diversity and inclusiveness are the hot topics of the Tarot community these days. Although these issues became fancy only recently, the core of the problem is quite technical and have its roots back to unknown times – the times when the Tarot deck was designed and created.
However, our general misconception originates from our wrong perception of the esoteric sciences, particularly of the Tarot, and especially of Astrology.
I will do my best to keep it short and simple, and not to get too technical. Read more Third gender, cultural diversity and inclusiveness
Day nine: Two of Swords.
I have named this card “compensation”, and it is all about the right mental balance, finding the perfect compromise which offers satisfaction to all the parts involved. It is about equilibrium, fairness and compensation. If someone is capable of giving, at some point that person will receive, will get back those “things” – feelings, thoughts, actions.

Day four: Nine of Swords.
The vast majority of the Tarot readers consider the Nine of Swords card to carry a ‘negative’ connotation, while the unaware audience feels uneasy looking at such Tarot cards as The Devil, Death, The Tower, Judgement, Four, Nine and Ten of Swords and so on.

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
Day two: Nine of Disks.
The so-called “small cards” or “numerals”, the cards numbered from two to ten represents our mundane life and our relationship with others.
While there is nothing we can do about how the planets influence our existence, we cannot change the path of the planets or the angle in which the Earth is with them at particular moments; but we can change our way of feeling, thinking or acting, respectively interacting with others.
