Hey all,
[Rx = Reversed]
So it occurred to me the other night that I've not really ever used Rx meanings for the Osho Zen, and while some might say that because they are more oracle cards than Tarot they should not be read Rx, I disagree and have even devised my own opposite names for the Rx cards.
My rationale behind these Rx names is that in the Osho Zen Tarot, I feel a Rx card blocks the upright energy of the card and thus offers an opposite energy to the reading. With that said, each Rx name is my version of the opposite of the actual card's name and upright energy.
Please read through and tell me what you think of my Rx names. All comments and thoughts are welcome! Thank you!
