What
puzzled me the most was the connections of Cancer, the Crab to The Chariot,
Sagittarius, the Archer to Temperance, Neptune to The Hanged Man, and Saturn to
The World. As a reader, I need to know the reasons for these particular
couplings. Is there a hidden aspect to each card that these astrological
concepts focus on? Am I missing something? If so, what?
Cancer
knows where they are going and how to get there, which is appropriate for The
Chariot. However, Cancer changes moods like the wind. This points to any conflict
that needs to be examined while reading The Chariot. Also Cancer stabilizes The
Chariot since this Sign is selective in what it does.
Sagittarius
is restless and high spirited, lending movement to Temperance. The subtle
message is that Temperance should not be stagnant, but instead keep flowing.
Sagittarius gives the warning to the reader of the tendency of Temperance to remain
static.
Saturn
is the planet of limitation and fate. Paired with The World, it cautions the
reader to beware of wishful thinking. Saturn grounds The World from flights of
fancy. The World is to be earned, not handed to someone is something that the
reader should know.
This
leaves Neptune and The Hanged Man, both difficult to understand. Neptune is the
mystic, whose principle energy is transcendence. The Hanged Man is in limbo,
perhaps in a chrysalis much like the caterpillar becoming a butterfly. The two
are mystics, detached from the world. Therefore, Neptune reinforce the
otherworldliness of The Hanged Man.
