Hi again. I'm ready for your question.
A place to practice and appreciate the art of Tarot, cartomancy, and other esoteric arts. We put the "Cult" in "Occult"

I’m in! Star = Venus = Venice! Perfect!dodalisque wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 20:36 Emperor (4) + Star (17) = At the moment, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, governments (Emperor) have turned their back on you and effectively closed their borders. But the Star reassures us that these restrictions will eventually relax. Coverings, i.e. masks, will be discarded. The Star predicts that when you do travel it will be to a place near water. The Star herself is often identified with the goddess Venus and the large bright object above her with the planet Venus, the "morning star". So, how about Venice?
I like your naughty Bateleur!dodalisque wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 20:36 Star (17) + Bateleur (1) = One of the locals, an attractive young street vendor working in the Piazza San Marco, known in English as St. Mark's Square, notices you preparing to climb down into a gondola and undresses you with his eyes.
Do you know the Soprafino deck? In its Moon, there’s a cooked lobster on a platter. Or you’ve only seen it in your mind! Two towers in the Moon as two city buildings. I would never get that, but it so works for travel!dodalisque wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 20:36 Bateleur (1) + Moon (18) = In the back of his mind he plans that night to go with you to your hotel (one of the two towers). But first, after a romantic meal (the lobster) in a rustic seafood restaurant that he knows, he imagines you both walking and conversing beside the Grand Canal, gazing up together at the full Moon. The Canal makes a large reverse-S shape through the central districts of Venice, and your hotel is at one end beside the lagoon near the Santa Lucia railway station (the other one of the towers).
All good things must come to an end!dodalisque wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 20:36 Moon (18) + Death (13) = Next morning you are aroused from your slumbers by a noise outside. Beneath your window a street cleaner (the skeleton) is whistling to himself while sweeping up last night's debris. You allow Matteo to continue to sleep soundly while you dress quietly and slip away. You have a train to catch that day to take you to London. Is it ruthless of you (Death) to dispose of Matteo so coldly? The Moon card was his dream but the skeleton is moving to slash it to pieces. A rude awakening indeed.
If all this happened to me, I would be distracted and daydreaming for sure!dodalisque wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 20:36 Death (13) + Popess (2) = In the quiet privacy of your train compartment you cannot read your novel (Popess). While passing a farmer's field the slender body and firm rump of one of the labourers (Death) monopolises your attention.
But when you’re traveling alone, you have to have your wits about you, and at least look like you know where you’re going!dodalisque wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 20:36 Popess (2) + Empress (3) = You are daydreaming (Popess). You sit up straight and face forward (Empress). "Pull yourself together," you say to yourself, collecting up your bags in preparation to disembark.
I don’t think I’ll get a glimpse of the queen, though.dodalisque wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 20:36 Empress (3) + Pope (5) = In London you visit Buckingham Palace (Empress) and St. Paul's Cathedral (Pope), and all the famous tourist sites.
The wheel turns on the wheel! I think I might be afraid to go that high, but if it brings that kind of fate, I’ll risk it!dodalisque wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 20:36 Pope (5) + Wheel of Fortune (10) = The London Eye, or the Millennium Wheel, is a cantilevered observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames. It is Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel, and is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the UK with over 3 million visitors annually. At the ticket booth (Pope), after much pleading, you are told that there are just two seats left for the next ride, and you find yourself sharing an enclosed car with a smartly dressed man about your own age, who carries a rakish broad-brimmed red fedora. He immediately feels like your soul's counterpart. It's a religious feeling (cathedral in Pope card). You are like two peas in a pod. There is a strong mutual attraction. Kismet.
A justice instead of a pope to marry us! I wish I did deserve such a thing!dodalisque wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 20:36 Wheel (10) + Justice (8) = It turns out that your partner on the Wheel, Matej, comes from the beautiful city of Prague and is a rich used-car salesman (the king on the Wheel) and master of roulette. Using Justice's sword to cut a long story short, the observation car of the Eye is soon rocking (scales), and by the time you dismount you have both decided to get married. You find a Justice of the Peace and live happily ever after in his luxury home in the centre of Prague. It's no more than you deserve (Justice). The End.
