Is there a good book (or site) that helps one learn some profound (and not so profound) correlations between astrology and tarot?

deso , I cannot think of any books or sites offhand that combine the 2 effectively, but I Know there must be something out there! You could do an online search. I just realized that I've always Really wanted to see someone create a tarot Based on astrology. Now , I know many decks put an astrological and/or planetary symbol on the cards , especially the majors, or in other ways incorporate astrology. But I would love a deck who's main focus was astrology, BUT was still a regular 78 card tarot deck.Maybe one of the people who said they are or want to create a deck can use this idea?

That's one of the ideas I've had. But I've noticed that not all of my opinions are shared by others; for instance, I genuinely get a Uranus feeling from the Tower, in the "pop culture" sense of chaos breaking out all over the place, but most people correlate it with Mars. In turn, I liken Mars to the Emporer, because that planet's "masculine" energy seems like a good compliment to Venus for the Empress. (Maybe Mars trine Jupiter is a good way to describe the feeling.)

Another problem I'm having is that I'd like to use comparitive mythology in my deck also, AND runes, PROBABLY some Qabbalah, and MAYBE the I Ching - all things that I'm just beginning to study. I'll most likely end up creating several decks, one for each "theme", and then meditate on how to combine them into a final magnum opus.
