I have had an insight into the meanings of cards The Emperor and Temperance
Incorrect Interpretation of The Emperor and Temperance...
I suggest that the general meaning of 2 of these cards in the Tarot are in some ways incorrect. These 2 cards represent the sun signs of Aries and Sagittarius and I suggest the true expression for Aries is "I see" and for Sagittarius is "I create" and not "I am" and "I see" respectively. In other words Aries is the Clairvoyant of the Zodiac not Sagittarius!
Other Wrong Expressions...
Other expressions to other signs are also not precise and therefore wrong. For instance the expression for Taurus is given generally as "I have" when in fact it is "I touch". This difference may seem slight but I believe the difference significant. The act of touch takes possession and therefore results in "having". But it is the Midas touch that is the cause.
Duality in nature and expression through Astrology and Tarot....
I believe there is a duality in nature and in our minds. This knowledge has been withheld from us.
This duality is found in the energy coming from the sun as the Wave/Particle Theory. It is also found at the micro level in the atom whereby the neutron particle is dual in nature in that it pulses between being a positive and negative charge. Thus the neutron is only net neutral and thus dual.
This duality of nature also extends to us as being and is reflected in our minds in terms of how we think! This is why the planet Mercury is both masculine and feminine in its nature.
We "think" in two ways. We Synthesize and we Analyze.
It should be explained that Synthesis is about Vision and Imagination. These are the male and female attributes of Synthesis. They are NOT analytical.
Yin and Yang (Duality)....
Synthesis is what the Chinese called Yin defined in old Chinese as "The Heavens". Yin is feminine but here is the rub, even in its femininity it has a positive and negative charge. Likewise Yang is The World or masculine and has that same dual charge.
Earth Signs are Yang...Fire Signs are Yin!
In terms of the application of Sun signs to Yin/Yang the associations of Yin to earth signs and Fire signs are incorrect as well.
Contrary to what is on the internet and generally taught... Fire signs in there most basic disposition are Yin not Yang! Earth signs are Yang not Yin..
Fire signs are the masculine of the Yin expression while Earth are the feminine of Yang expression. In other words within The Heavens, the Yin has both a male and female quality Fire/Water and in The World, the Yang has the same dual expression of male and female in Air/Earth.
What supports this claim? Simply this... Fire signs generally "see" they do NOT analyze!
And Earth signs such as Virgo have the gift of Analysis which is a male quality. Further these explanations fit.
Summary...
I realize that what I am saying goes against the mainstream teaching about the signs but I believe that information has been hidden. Tzadi as Aleister Crowley stated...is not The Star!
But I have gone further stating that Fire signs are Yin and Earth are Yang.
