Unlocking the Tarot

Those who see how big the risks are see only a fool. Those who find the Fool’s openhearted enthusiasm for life inspirational—and who wish they could trust so easily—see a genius.

As a blessing, the Hierophant is here to help. You have an opportunity to learn or to benefit in some way from those who have come before you. It could be a teacher presenting themselves to you. It could be that the rules you find yourself navigating are there for your greater good. It could even be that you, yourself, have an opportunity to share

I like to think of the Fool’s companion as their instinct: the part of them that will warn them of real danger or encourage them if the way is clear—if they pay attention, that is.

The only experiences the Fool can fit in that tiny little pouch are those necessary for the present journey they are beginning and nothing more.

How the Magician interacts with their potential can change the flavor of this card!

The Magician is a creator, but what’s incredibly mind-blowing is that what he is creating already exists; it just isn’t visible yet. What a powerful idea!

More importantly, the High Priestess will not seek you out. Instead, her secrets are ready when you are and wait for you.

a blessing, the Emperor represents authority and responsibility and reminds you that you have more control over your life than you realize. He reminds you that you have a right to define your own boundaries, that “no” is a complete sentence, and that you should stand your ground. The Emperor reminds you that only you can be the ultimate boss of you

The sea is a beautiful symbol for the subconscious, that deep well of knowledge available to us if we only tap into it or access it.
