Tarot Affirmations

Although Tarot is best known as a fortune-telling tool, on a psychological level it can also be used for self-exploration and as a guide helping you to reach your goals, aspirations and fulfil your potential.

Each image depicts an event, a phase in your life or state of being. It contains numerous hidden messages, which can be discovered by immersing yourself into the pictures of the Tarot.

One type of message the Tarot can offer is an affirmation. This is a positive statement, which encourages the practice of positive thinking. An affirmation should not include any negations, e.g. can’t, don’t, won’t, haven’t etc. The sentence is kept as simple but as empowering as possible.

An affirmation can be created for each Tarot card. You can do this yourself by looking at the image and explore its meanings. What is this card advising you to do? What is it trying to teach you?

Please find below sample affirmations for the Major Arcana cards, but bear in mind that the possibilities for each card are virtually endless depending on your feelings, intuition and perspective.

The Fool – I look forward to new beginnings and enjoy the journey ahead.
The Magician – I use my all my resources and willpower to achieve my goals.
The High Priestess – I trust my intuition to make the right decision when the time is right.
The Empress – I love and protect the people in my care. My love will dissolve tension and fears.
The Emperor – I take control of my life to achieve my ambitions.
The Hierophant – I am open-minded and always enjoy being a student of life.
The Lovers – In matters of the heart I also use my head when I face an important choice.
The Chariot – I harness all my forces to meet my challenges.

Tarot Explorations - Hidden Paths and Symbols 1

The 22 cards of the Major Arcana depict the journey of the Fool. A lot of thought went into the creation of each card, and the more you study the images, the more you notice hidden symbolism, meaning and connections between cards.

So, what do the following cards (The Fool, Death and The Sun) have in common?

1. The red feather. The Fool must descent into the underworld (Death) in order to return into the light (Sun). The feather indicates spirit, power, high aspirations. What else could the red feather symbolise? What does it mean to you?

2. The changing colour of the sun.The white sun in the Fool card symbolises innocence; in the Death card it's blackening due to the transformational (alchemical) process, and the golden colour in the Sun card suggests wisdom and enlightenment. Again, explore your own ideas.

What Tarot Card Are You?

I took the test and discovered that I am the Moon - well, it's my zodiac card after all (the Moon is associated with Pisces), one of the many personality cards you can calculate with your date of birth.

You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

Are you fed up with all the doom and gloom?

If yes, then change your perpective by contemplating the following uplifting story I recently came across, which has been attributed to the Native American Cherokee Indians.

The story is about a boy who tells his grandfather that he is feeling very angry and upset. The grandfather explains to the boy that he too sometimes feels angry but also he often feels very happy. The grandfather says it is as if there are two wolves battling inside him. One is very angry, aggressive and acts out of fear. This wolf wants to fight all the time. The other wolf is happy, playful, and only wants to make friends and live in peace. But the two wolves are constantly battling inside. The little boy asks: which wolf wins?And the grandfather replies: 'the one I feed'.

This story reflects our times so perfectly. The media tends to focus on stories that make us feel scared, sad or angry, only because it sells and has a bigger impact than anything positive. Of course we can't deny that there's a lot of bad stuff going on in the world, but what if we started to feed the right wolf?

Until next time,

Christiane
