Looking inward. Time for meditation or isolation. Disciple of the mystic arts.
Periodic isolation and inner silence have their fundamental importance in our lives.
Especially for old souls, and those who feel deeply the recesses of the Universe. As with the mystic initiates and students of tradition.
It is only in complete isolation that one finds the truest magic of the universe.
Communication between spiritual heaven and material earth. A wise leader, finding one’s own light, bringing things to completion, time to harvest, the fruitfulness. We only can reach maturity with caution and patience. There is an opportunity to build solid foundations if one is willing to wait.

A burst of creativity. Paradoxes and contradictions. Irony and mocking of common norms. Acting from desires, passions and impulses. Moving on from a past family trauma.
Insatiable hunger for everything without any regard for anyone else.
At essence, this is a card of selfishness, and indulgence of the darkest traits of the human psyche.
Often, wrong-going or a sense of evil comes from the repressed parts of us, and we are conditioned to indulgence, which unchecked can take us down a spiral.
A sudden, inexorable event for good or ill, which querent cannot influence or control.
All the same, this card is one of a warning. To check for one’s down actions and behaviour, and equally so be aware of the intentions of those around you.
If you receive this card, then DO NOT be taking a leap of faith in your present circumstances.
Wait for harmony in self, surrounding and intention.
Do not allow physical aspect of life to dominate.
Carelessness of result.
Temptation, attraction to the dark and theforbidden. Exploitation, egotism, domination. Compulsive self-gratification. Senseless behavior has its price. Difficulty in detaching oneself from an unhealthy bond.
A shock reveals inner persona and begins the
process of spiritual enlightenment.
Querent has humor, vitality, sexuality, and creative power, but must avoid excess in
physical appetites.
It would help to make amends with feeling of being hurt by others, as well as amends with those you may have hurt. Often this is a card of repressed anger. It would damage both internally and externally if unresolved.
This is not a time to push ahead. It would help to take pause, the intentions of those around may not be honest.
Victory, triumph – a clear break through, a combination of power, success & accolades.
The pleasure of receiving recognition for one’s achievements or creative work.

Overcoming difficult trials and opposition from others.
Courage, fortitude and Self-Discipline. You are tested on your principles and what you stand for.
This lesson of harnessing one’s aggression and directing it toward a creative end.
Strength applied to joyful purpose. Through such an experience we come in contact with the beast but also with the hero, emerging from this contest with trust in oneself and integrity towards others. The lion within is the image of the infantile savage and royalty, interpreted as vigour.
A fair and balanced judgment. A
developed conscience. Rationality, reasoning by clear rules and common norms. Touch of grace and humanity
beyond the objective considerations.

Essentially this card deals with all matters associated with the spoken or written word, and also the symbolic occult sense of all meaning outside of your self.
The need to acknowledge one’s limitations, accept defeat or resignation, and swallow false pride in order to proceed.
This card can denote unfairness, slander, cowardice, or a lack of sensitivity.
Osho in his pack called it comparison. It is a point in the mental process that the perspective itself that becomes that of a defeatist.
At the same time, there is something it is fixated upon.The comparison indicated in this card is that it in evaluating the situation by an unfair yardstick or standards. And in doing so, the results would always beget an unclear view.
There is a selfishness reflected in this card, and that colours it to limitation to its perspective. The mind causes a disconnect to the things surrounding it, and to self. This disconnect can only be repaired by stepping away from the mental process momentarily and being mindful thereafter.
There is a merchant-mind mentality indicated that is always looking at the next gain, blinding clarity from the potential treasures within one’s reach. In altering the view of looking at the world around, would suffice to make all the difference.

A possible misreading of a sensitive situation resulting in a difficult emotional problem.
The sudden separation of someone close.
This is essentially the sign of needing to rectify a bad idea, either on the current course of action or intended action. This is a sign that the current line of thinking needs to be abandoned.
Every end is a transformation, a release, a renewal and purification, an opportunity for a new life, if one can let go of the old one.
The image of death is the permanent and final end of a cycle of life., where sadness is as necessary to life as joy and celebration.
Whether or not this experience is painful depends upon the person’s capacity to accept and recognize the necessity of endings. It is an inner change, the ability to regenerate and the key to hidden wisdom. Death and rebirth for an unknown future.
The end of something whose time has come. Cutting off past influences or attach ment to dominant figures. Giving up the superfluous and keeping only the essential. Disintegration of the old to make room for the new.

stagnation. A change brings benefit.
The enforced removal of something that
should have been relinquished freely. External changes lead to transformation. Termination of an unendurable situation brings hope.

And knows when the spirit is manifesting of its own accord.
The start of something. Having various tools and
means at our disposal. Use of supernatural forces. Training and acquisition
of practical skills. Improvisation. Spiritual and psychic powers.

or basic motives.
Ensure you’re acting on the right motives, and that you have your facts & foundation in place. There may be a critical error in your thought process.
Still a positive card, just a slight cross-correction from the universe.
Time when the rewards of past efforts appear. This is a period of summing-up, of a realization of what we have been doing and where we ourselves have created the future which now awaits us.
This awakening is a clear perception of the extent to which we have been able to be true to ourselves. And for all our self-betrayals we ask for forgiveness and generosity, to drop our guilt-feelings and to find our self-value again. Through inspection and understanding we can forgive ourselves, here we are open for self-criticism and mutation, here mistakes and creative efforts of the past are gathered together to form the future – the beginnings of a more responsible and complete personality. The judge is inside us within, not outside in the world.

A coat of quotes and passing poetry
"
Osho on Death
“There is nothing to be worried about. You will disappear like a snowflake in pure air. You are not going to die, you are only going to disappear. Yes, you will not be found in the individual form. The form will disappear into the formless – the snowflake into the pure air. But you will be there and more so. When the river disappears into the ocean, it is not dying – it is becoming the ocean, it is spreading, it is becoming bigger, huge, enormous, infinite.”
