After reading the previous post my post seems rather lame. Tarot readers
are so smart, observant and curious. When I paint, I paint in terms of balance and color and what looks right to me. When people analyse the images later I am often taken by what they assume I intended to convey. So please don't stop yourselves from saying something if should show up here from time to time. So much of what I have painted in this deck and others comes intuitively and I let the paint do what it wants while I work. The questions and statements given here in this forum are as interesting and informative to me as anyone. Getting a new take on the images helps me to grow as well and it will help me to teach others about the cards. One thing about doing a deck, when you think you are done creating it you are not we always seem to be at the beginning. The following is from my weekly email alerts to subscribers who like to get updates when the moon of the week as it changes signs.

Week of the first quarter moon in Aquarius

“The first quarter moon phase symbolizes the power of
reconstruction. After foundations are destroyed rethinking and
reconstruction of a situation is brought to the forefront."

6 of Swords

Planetary ruler Pluto

The First Quarter moon in Aquarius has a humanitarian quality as it
suggests helping someone who is going through an emotionally
turbulent time get to a place of peace. This year the 6 of Swords
falls during Samhain when the veil between the two worlds are
thinnest. This is a good week for doing rituals honoring loved ones
who have passed. As we approach the doorway between summer
and winter when the laws of time are suspended this is a good time
for doing readings as well. Mercury retrograde also invites us to
redo, revisit and generally catch up with projects and other things
we have fallen behind on.
