Just read BC's review of the Playing Card Oracle here on the Forum, and found this coincidental bit interesting: "Connection is made between the 52 cards in the deck, and the structure of 52 weeks in a year. According to the introduction, playing cards are a perfect reflection of a Fixed Lunar Calendar." Don't 'ya just LOVE it?!?! Yes. I'm thinking the astrological system is the one for me!
Oh yes. I knew this and yes, I think it is pretty neat. And, the four suits I believe represent the four seasons of the year as well.
Thanks Nemia. With my $40/mo. plan for iPhone and no computer, I can only dream about downloading anything :-/ but I did find an interesting system by following celticnoodle's advice: GOOGLE!!! So in this system, the suits are the same as in Tarot (swords/air etc.) but each # is represented by a planet (1/sun, 2/moon, etc.) and each court card is represented by an astrological sign (King of Clubs/Aries, Queen of Clubs/Leo, etc.) Combining planets with elements or sun signs appeals to me somehow. I found a wonderful sight (Rosicrucian.com) which has a great list of key words for both planets and sun signs: ASTROLOGICAL KEYWORD SYSTEM of Analyzing Character and Destiny by J.D.
So I'll be thinking on that...and Meanwhile, I'm off to check out Ana Cortez! Thanks again...
I'm glad it helped you. I LOVE GOOGLE! I'm going to check into what you found as well. I have Ana Cortez' deck too and book--but haven't looked at it in years. Keep us posted.
