I am completing a Tarot journal with all of my experiences with each card. I just finished writing out all the numbers 1 through 10 along with their associations with the first ten cards of the major arcana.
It occurred to me that the cycle repeats itself after the Wheel of Fortune. Are the major arcana cards - the ones numbered XI through XXI - another level of the same numbers? I'm not being clear, let me demonstrate.
Conscious / Physical
I: Full potential / The Magician holds all the Aces
II: Duality / the High Priestess lives in both worlds
III: Growth / the Empress is related to growth
IV: Stagnation, Pause, Stability / the Emperor is the rule maker and boundary setter
V: Instability / I actually don't get how the Hierophant fits in
VI: Restoration of harmony, symmetry / The Lovers are about a twin "something"
VII: Challenges and Control / the Chariot
VIII: Overcoming / Strength
IX: Enough / when the Hermit finds what he's seeking, he's got "enough"
X: Completion / A full turn of the Wheel of Fortune
XI: Justice lives between the two levels
Subconscious / Ethereal / Theoretical?
XII: Hanged Man / duality of two perspectives
XIII: Death / ending of something to make way for new growth
XIV: Temperance / stabilizing by merging
XV: Devil / instability of power?
XVI: Tower / restoration of harmony
XVII: Star / another way to deal with challenges??
XVIII: Moon / overcoming illusion
XIX: Sun / the Hermit finds the sun, enough light, clarity
XX: Judgement / completion, laying the dead to rest
XXI: World / beginning of a new cycle in the world
Am I anywhere close to understanding these??
