Day eight.
Traditionally The Hermit is associated with the zodiac sign Virgo.
I disagree with this viewpoint, and I think The Hermit represents the opposite sign of the Virgo, the Pisces. Read more 78 days Tarot challenge, day eight
Day seven: The Emperor.
The Emperor represents the zodiac sign Aries, and its general significance is enthusiasm. The explosive energy of The Emperor when the card is in reversed position turns into rage, and sometimes it signifies an abusive person or action/relationship. Read more 78 days Tarot challenge, day seven

Day five: The Lovers.
The Lovers was for a very long time associated with the idea of love and marriage.
Probably, it is one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted Tarot card.
In each case, there is a story behind the significance of the Tarot cards.
In the case of The Lovers, it is the story of Adam, Eve and Lilith. Read more 78 days Tarot challenge, day five
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.

Day one: The Queen of Swords.
The first card I draw is the Queen of Swords – a very nice card to start this journey actually!
The Court Cards represents our higher aspirations, our need to evolve and get to the next level of consciousness. This is a difficult and mostly unpleasant process. Evolution is never natural, never comes easy. On the contrary, evolution is against nature, against the status quo. Read more 78 days Tarot challenge, day one

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.
