Aquarian Tarot 7 of Cups Skydiver

Fulgour

It took me awhile, and some imagination, to finally
figure that on the Aquarian Tarot 7 of Cups there
was a SKYDIVER included in the fantastical group.

But maybe I'm wrong~ or then even if I'm right it's
not about me anyway, it's Palladini. So, what's up?

I always saw that as a deep-sea diver's helmet with the air hoses coming out. Either could be interesting in a reading.

a deep-sea diver definitely. maybe palladini was on drugs when he painted this card? (digging out all the stereotypes about the 60s/70s - not that i remember them, at least not the 60s)

I think David Palladini was having a bit of fun.
The parachute ends up over the diver's head
so that it looks just like the shrouded figure...

Deep Sea Divers don't wear shaded goggles! ;)

Well, now that you mention it, maybe. ;)

If you are still looking closely at your Aquarian deck, I wonder what you make of the stylized flower on the Lovers card. It is on the lower right of the card inside a tiny frame. To me it looks like bleeding heart

which could mean vulnerability, the sensitivity necessary to make an emotional connection etc. But maybe it is just a pretty flower.

Hi Myrrha

It is a very beautiful design indeed. It could mean a lot of things I suppose. What struck me first as I looked at it is the way it is made from a combination of curves and angles. A metaphor for the interrelationship between male and female?

Hello Myrrha

I've made a side by side image with the flower enlarged.
The picture you posted is very beautiful... Thanks! :)
