List of Rx Names of Cards

ThtDancerGuy

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! :)

my rx cards' meaning somehow always confuse me

i cant tell exactly what is its mean

for example
3swords is a broken heart, being apart, a lost, despair

3swords rx sometimes is a standing back up after pains, being healed after broke. sometimes it still means a break, a hurt, a pain but less serious than right up 3swords

another example
6wands is a victory

6wands rx is either a failure or a minor victory which is more personal than social


the problem is which one should be used

depends on that card positions, the cards surrounding and my feelings, my intuition i will tell the querent which means are applied

Yes, in a dilemma like that, I would encourage you to rely upon your intuition: that first feeling you get when you look at the card, inverted or upright. Always trust your intuition.

Thank you:) I'm glad you could find some enjoyment in them. Yea, for Integration I had originally thought to use Separation, but then I remembered that segregation and integration were both words used to talk about the inclusion (or exclusion) of a race during the time of Jim Crow laws, so I ended up using Segregation. Lol I guess I, too, like Separation better for that. And I like your names for Transformation Rx. Great thoughts!

I loved your well thought out reversed names ThtDancerGuy :)
definitely a reference I will use if I use reversals with the Osho Zen, I have just kept upright with them so far!

Thank you:) And by no means is this list exhaustive. And in some cases some of these are not applicable, so make sure to really use your intuition if and when you begin using Rx meanings with Osho cards.
