2 of Wands – Two of Fire – Possibilities -Vision- Dominion.

2 of Wands card meaning

The two of wands is the card of possibilities.

Wands as an element stands for fire, and action. And upon the beginning of that action is the unlimited nature of clarity. That clarity is of possibilities, otherwise perceived as the dominion of action armed with the idea.

To traditional interpretation, the two of wands is the formative idea begun upon its stage of evolution. Dominion as mentioned earlier is a primary facet. To other reads, it is seen as the start of transformation. Osho calls it possibilities.

As the two of light, this stands for vision, and thought having opened to formless boundaries for that un-limiting step for perception.

There is great harmony in this card, with its signals to inspiration in all directions. Such is the nature of fire emerging and converging ideas into action.

The wands as a suit are all action-oriented cards, marking a poise or a stride in the midst of activity, both internal and external.

There is an understated determination in this sign. The will is being forged at this stage, only to solidify with further action to intention.

As the two of light, this is the flame that shines brighter once it has lit another. That the entirety of spirit salutes accomplishment to the soul, and in that act of purity of vision, is found the approval of all spirit and sundry.

Divination : What it means if you receive this card

From the synthesis of creation, a new energy of possibility is channeled to awaken through the wands. The Two of Wands signifies a point where these creative energies are brought together to flourish and produce.

Indeed this sign foretells prosperity in partnerships and production. The partnering to challenge and achieve higher goals.

In a situation, this heralds a prosperous venture, a merger of sorts. It is a consolidated first step to a well deliberated plan.

The fire of creative energy or spiritual yearning are the wands; here, it is offered direction toward a specific goal.

Thus, this goal, it is anticipated, and will quench the urge to change. Once determined, change can begin.

This card is about that determination, resolve and discipline. The beginnings of the Transformation.

The Two of Wands indicates that you are moving into your personal power, to move forward with courage, originality and potential.

This first step in a new direction can be empowering so consolidate your steps and accept the road as it is taking you. This would be the time you can alter it to your comfort and with complete clarity.

This is also a sign of possibilities, vision and inspiration. Often even called the Lord of Dominion.

Vision, the start of activity.

You can find the courage to take new ideas up and put faith in that invisible creative force that has generated this envision of a new path.

This can be a dramatic display of abilities in controlling and combining the raw energies around you, towards creative will in its most exalted form.

These are indeed the fires of imagination – the ladder of ambitions and aspiration. Creative potential growth of enterprise.

Reversed 2 of Wands – Fetters and Possibilities

Divination : This sign blocks its own energy, holding back all the potential of the moment.

The reverse 2 of wands is the complexity of blockage in your creative energies.

There may be external issues affecting the chance or possibility for a fruitful partnership. This card advises looking within to find what may be the cause.

And out of restlessness and unformed power one idea leads to another and often the first few are far from the final one.

Reversed, this does not look favorably upon situations involving partnerships or ventures. Prosperity is delayed and there may be an unwillingness to cooperate. External forces, restricting regulations, or a lack of support, may well hamper progress which already is in mere early stages.

There is a slow dissipation of the creative at this stage.

Normally, the fire of creative energy or spiritual yearning is represented by Wands, and given direction at the 2 of wands.

The goal, however blurry would then quench the yearning, dissatisfaction, or urge to change. And so the means to resolves are indeed determination, resolve and discipline. The beginning of the Transformation, albeit repressed.

To its primary meanings, the messages here are of the spiritual realm. Creativity, imagination, Inspiration. Illumination, mysticism, magic. Burning, purifying. Idealistic, ascetic and Fire.

All the same, there is tremendous potential that wasn’t quite able to fructify. The possibilities are still very much there, just a little diminished from whence they began. A little effort, you might find your stride again.

Often, at this time you may find surprise, wonder, enchantment, emotion, trouble, fear.

There may be sudden application of phenomenal. Wilful, imperial. A strong urge for freedom and independence. A refusal to yield to another’s will.

Sometimes to this sign, you may find Strength, domination. Boldness, courage, love of freedom, fierceness, fighting spirit, ambition, refinement, impatience, sagacious withal, yet an unforgiving and obstinate nature.

There is resistance to vision. Restrained beginnings. Cautious action. Inability to see the bigger picture. Possibilities are still there, with a little effort.

Difficulty in consolidation. Obstacles to dominion.

Also shows a fierceness, shamelessness, ambition, restlessness, turbulence. A card of enthusiasm, but strong self-interest.

A coat of quotes and passing poetry

“O! hast thou seen a vernal Morning bright.  

Gem every bank and trembling leaf with dews,

Tinging the green fields with her amber hues,

Changing the leaden streams to lines of light?

Then seen dull Clouds, that shed untimely night,

Roll envious on, and every ray suffuse,

Till the chill'd Scenes their early beauty lose,

And faint, and colourless, no more invite.

The glistening gaze of Joy?—'Twas emblem just,

Of my youth's sun, on which deep shadows fell,

Spread from the PALL OF FRIENDS; and Grief's loud gust,

Resistless, oft wou'd wasted tears compel:

Yet let me hope, that on my darken'd days,

Science, and pious Trust, may shed pervading rays.” - Horace.

The Star – XVII – Tarot. Divination and reverse interpretation.

March 8, 2023 by Ayamvada

17 – The Star – Arcana – The horoscope.

The Star card meaning

The card seventeen of the major arcana is that of the Star. And simply by virtue of being the major arcana, it has the important task of guiding the soul directly.

To the occult terms, the number 17 is that of the horoscope, and charts the trajectory of any individual to the choices they make in life. As the individual grows and evolves, so does their orbit to all matters of spirit and soul in their interactions with the world. And with that, their star guides them through their subconscious and allows them to chart their wisdom to their lifetime.

And yes, it is possible to cast in horoscope to a star to map a person’s influences. But then as the older we get, based on the choices made at important junctures in life, the personality starts to become cast as the reflection of the said star of the tarot. And merging of sorts in all heavenly attributes reflected to a person’s star and their earthly qualities as a name living the lifetime.

Osho in his tarot cards calls this Silence, and only the individual knows the real truth of the impressions made of celestial matters in their journey.

And that journey is what each querent makes in the silence of their own contemplation. The star and soul, each guided by the other. That is their ascent to horoscope, and descent to matter.

This card is also connected to the goddess, and naturally all stars in the epitome of a star. A star is born, when another hath arisen.

Divination XVII – The Star. Melodies. Horoscope :

A guiding vision of hope arises, harmonious uniting of heaven and earth, divine protection and power to transcend the mundane world with all its trappings.

This sign is about inspiration, crystallisation, self-confidence, and the conjunction with the universal intellect with the collective unconscious. And it brings the insight that there are endless possibilities of existence we can connect to. With our feeling, instincts, imagination, intuition, hope, optimism, trust, and through faith.

A time of calm follows a time of upheaval. The Star brings a sense of relief and a renewed sense of faith in the universe.

Hope, gifts of spirit, deeper silence, meaningful illusions. Knowledge, hidden meanings, spiritual experiences, heightened awareness.

A sense that we are on the right path. The light of the Star is the light of understanding, of awareness, and truth, in stimulating our imagination and restoring our sense of connection to the greater mysteries.

The Star shines above you and reflects you to guide your way, showing you a deeper sense of meaning and direction.

Drawn, it is implied that there is abundant hope in your life.

In situations, this card reflects favorably on any outcome. It also asks to keep hope alive in tougher situations and not to lose faith in any struggle. In relationships, this card implies a positive and balanced ideal relationship between partners.

Reversed – 17 – The Silence of the Stars

Divination : Reversed but all the same indicated to this card are gifts of spirit, heightened awareness or experiences, illusions, hidden meanings, and hope shining over clouded expressions.

This could be a sign that you are denying your talents and inner truths, losing yourself in idealism without manifesting your ideals into reality.

The appearance of the Star in a reading suggests an ability to connect to your deeper self and to trust that all will be well. Love and energy flow freely and are available to you as you need them, for yourself or to share. All this is still true to the reverse card, but only after you put in a little effort. That’s the virtue of finding your inner silence to this sign. Your unique personal connecting to everything deeper and more ancient in the universe.

This is a time to align yourself with a higher consciousness, to grow in your connection to spirit, and to honour your creative imagination.

In a situation, a loss of hope may cause tension and a loss of faith in any positive outcome. The signs and suggestions to the shadow or reversed Star card are to briefly lay low and turn inward.

All situations may still turn your way. First you turn inward to the star. Find your sense of self. And optimism will restore and follow.

Introduction and the Fool – Tarot meaning, reverse and divination

March 8, 2023March 2, 2023 by Ayamvada

An introduction to the cards and characters

The very nature of a tarot game (AI) is an infinity of variables.

And so as the prospect of making an app of the tarot has come about, the journey so far has been understanding how to sift and move to it.

A sense of Cosmos to an order through chaos.

The connecting of numbers to the idea is the essence of tarot divination.

Connecting the idea back simplified and de-mystified is a turn of this Wheel of Fortune. That would be the 1 and 0 from the number 10. If I didn’t agree, I would be reversed of that card.

But I would have to walk a mile and through several smiles before I could change the occasion or influence into that of another card.

For a Fool in its essence contains the Universe (the card 21), and all the other elements also in parts. (wands, cups, swords, pentacles)

The Fool is a horse without a name. He’ll carry you as a burden or you can find valour in his transport.

But once the read begins, you’re no longer the fool unless the cards say so. The cards too for that while become part of the self, your self.

But if you place a fool before the magician, you merely have a magician and a start of a story.

But when you place a Magician before the Fool. Then you know you have met me.

Now that you’re a magician yourself, you can think back on it.

It is indeed a crazy world in which I make sense. Indeed, I’m often Incense.

The Fool card meaning

The Dali deck of the Tarot has three characters in the card of the Fool.

The Spirit, the mystic and the horse.

As the fool, you are the message. Which character do you want should carry it for you?

That is the self. Some days you feel like the spirit, some days you feel like a mystic. Other days you just feel like the horse.

The card of the Fool represents the Self, and in all its infinite glory. And all that you shall consider in the entirety of your existence, and in everything you are as yourself.

The fool is the hero of the story, the 0 stands for all that is, and is naught.

~~But this is not the Dali tarot deck, and spirit and the horse cannot be seen.~~ And so you reflect yourself into the mystic.

“With the Wand createth He. With the Cup preserveth He. With the Dagger destroyeth He. With the Coin redeemeth He.”

Since you are here, and this is indeed the start, should you want to know what it means if you received the Fool card in a reading. Read on.

The Fool

Divination meaning :

This a sign of the roots of one’s abilities, talents and sheer potential. A decision to start afresh, opening to new possibilities within, not explored yet. The sudden impulse which comes “out of the blue”. Like a young animal driven into life by instinct, not yet conscious or possessed of understanding.

The hero of your journey represents the irrational impulse toward change and opening life’s horizons into the unknown. These irrational impulses can sometimes be destructive and sometimes creative and often they are both at the same time. This is the willingness to risk, the courage to stand by oneself, independence, freedom, and following one’s own sense of idealism and inspiration.

“Thou art the breath, caressing my cheek, in thine incessant going; yet Thou art with me always.”

In spiritual matters, The Fool means idea, thought, spirituality, that which endeavors to transcend mere audacity.

When the time comes, as it always does, when the old rules, conceptual structures, prejudices and beliefs are not longer adequate to the challenges at hand, then a Divine Maniac is needed. Who lives in their own little private world, and so is not bound by the shared conventions, preconceptions or predispositions. The Gods of chance are at play. Are you that change?

The Fool represents the irrepressible Vital Spirit, overflowing its banks, roaring across the landscape, and carving new pathways where it will.

The blessed fool is the greatest possibility of understanding because the blessed fool has come to know that knowledge is futile. He has come to know that all knowledge is a barrier to knowing. Knowledge is a barrier to knowing, so he drops knowledge and becomes a pure knower. He simply attains to clarity of vision. His eyes are empty of theories and thoughts. His mind is no longer a mind; his mind is just intelligence, pure intelligence. His mind is no longer cluttered with junk; his mind is no longer cluttered with borrowed knowledge. He is simply aware. He is a flame of awareness.

You are that Fool, this is your time.

Reversed 0 – The Fool – Self inverse

Like a young animal driven into life by instinct, not yet conscious or possessed of understanding. The hero of your journey represents the irrational impulse toward change and the opening of one’s horizons into the unknown. These irrational impulses in this case may likely be destructive, possibly creative and certainly cusping sheer chaos for your sanity.

However and just the same, to this, there is an originality, an audacity, a tendency to iconoclasm, a venturesome quest of higher truth. The Fool especially reversed disturbs habits, breaks up customary modes of expression, forces readjustments. Thus, whenever the Zero card appears in a Tarot layout it signifies sudden readjustment, and often indicates the unexpected onset of chaotic conditions. In spiritual matters this is all too good.

“Thou art the breath, caressing my cheek, in thine incessant going; yet Thou art with me always.”

The Scintillating (or Fiery) Consciousness. It is the essence of the veil that is placed before the ordered arrangement of the Powers. Who walks this way acquires a special dignity: he can stand face to face before the Cause of Causes.

On a personal level, there are times in all of our lives when customary thought patterns have outlived their usefulness. Then it is time for a shake-up. And even if you don’t do consciously, matter sooner or later catches up to spirit. And thrown you into the void, the mystics of old. This is a time time of confusion, chaos and an ineffable craziness.

There are no rules for this. The only escape is inspired frenzy and the blind leap into the abyss. For you already there. Yes a sudden inspiration may suddenly bring you back to pure sanity. Until then, get to know prudence and tread accordingly to the reverse of the fool.
