hi all--
i just got this deck and i must say it appears quite awesome...
this is not an oracle-type deck. i would call it a self-examination tool. there are 12 'major' card; each one falls under a sign of the zodiac. these are considered to be 'pure' archetypes.
the other 66 cards are created from a combination (balance) of two of the major cards. i guess you can look at it as thesis, antithesis and synthesis. for example, the card under ares is 'the warrior', and the card under capricorn is 'the master'. combining the two, we get the card titled 'prevention'.
the idea behind the deck is to discover your own blockages and unexpressed persona.
the twelve major cards are:
1. the warrior (ares/mars)
2. the lover (taurus/venus)
3. the mediator (gemini/mercury)
4. the mother (cancer/moon)
5. the ego (leo/sun)
6. the servitor (virgo/mercury)
7. the partner (libra/venus)
8. the seducer (scorpio/pluto)
9. the preacher (sagittarius/jupiter)
10. the master (capricorn/saturn)
11. the jester (aquarius/uranus)
12. the angel (pisces/neptune)
there are 'readings' that use the astrological attributes, but, as of the moment, i am not well-versed enough to either use or give comment on this angle of these cards.
all-in-all, it seems a powerful deck
