The last few chapters of our journey of the fool, sometimes also referred to as the "journey of the hero" made for a pretty bumpy ride. We managed to get through the midlife crisis, dealt with change and transformation. And we learned about balance, before we faced the Devil and the major interruption.
Definitely time for a break!
When the dust has settled after the cut in The Tower it is time to regain new hope. In card "XVII - The Star", we see the heavenly goddess Nut, who spreads her arms over us to protect us. As already mentioned before, life does not run on a straight line. You have to walk through many deep valleys and master your crisis. Sometimes it gets so bad that you lose all courage to live and cannot find a way out. But just when it is at its worst, then suddenly a little window opens somewhere, where you least expect it. Then we can look out again and see the star that points us in the right direction and shows us where we belong. And then we can continue our journey...
The "17" is one of my favorite cards, as it always helps us to find a way, always gives new hope or tells us, that our plans are born under a good star. It always promises a bright and beautiful outcome.
I have worked on these cards on glass for 10 years and with time, I could not think of numbers, without a relationship to the corresponding cards. Even when I upvote here, I use percentages like "7", my personal card. Also multiples of it, or a number which cross totals to "7". Seven, activity, is supposed to give a (positive) push there.
Or "17", for the good star. Also "19", for sunshine and joy and "21" for perfection :-)
To find out your Personal TAROT Card, just add day, month and year of your date of Birth:
dd + mm + jjjj = xxxx.
Now add the four digits of the resulting number:
x + x + x + x = nn
If the resulting number is greater than 22 please add n + n again.
Any result equal to or smaller than 22 is your personal number with 22 representing 0
