Card of the Day - Dec 30, 2011

The Sun (XIX)
The Christmas Tarot

Today's card from the Christmas Tarot is The Sun. This card shows a very enthusiastic Santa Claus looking forward to winter-activities and games. Even in his old age he climbs up the mountains and hills and is raring to go on an adventure in his sleigh. The sun is shining in the background reminding us that every day is a new day and there is a lot of time for us to do whatever we want and must not restrict ourselves. It is never too late for anything, and at this time of the year when preparing our  New Years Resolutions, we must remember that there is always time to fulfill all of them. The only tools we need are enthusiasm and an optimistic attitude which we must learn from this card.

The Angel
The Christmas Tarot

In this deck, instead of the Devil card, there is the Angel card though Corrine says in her published deck she will also include a Devil card. So, keeping with the theme of Christmas, this is a wonderful card to come by. Angels are our guardians and they are there for us specially during this time of the year, when it is cold. There are two children in this card who would be lost if not for the Angel guiding them on their way. The Angel is beautiful with a golden star on her head and white billowing sleeves showing her purity. It seems very cold outside and the children are protected with gloves, hats, sweaters and of course the Angel. If the two children are able to avoid temptations and live a righteous life, they will always have the Angel guiding them.

Today's Card of the Day from the Christmas Tarot is 'The Empress'. The card shows a young mother on the floor with her children enjoying their Christmas gifts. Her children are in her arm and on her knee. The Empress has made a comfortable home for her children. Even the toys she has given them hold significance. The daughter with a doll will be a nurturing and caring woman. There are alphabet blocks and books on the floor, so they will be well educated. Knowledge will be passed on from mother to daughter.The other child has a red ball, showing that she will be fit and active. This is a card of pregnancy, abundance, fertility, love and family ties.

Strength
Christmas Tarot

Today's Card of the Day is Strength. No matter how hard it seems, you have the strength to overcome any difficulties. The Christmas spirit will make you strong from within. In the card we see the Angel of Strength. She comes bearing gifts: dolls, apples and a Christmas tree. She brings with her a fawn, a wild animal who she has tamed. She has come from heaven to bring peace on earth. She has in her arms and by her side a tree and an animal which is now a part of her journey. The strength which she brings is spiritual, emotional, physical and intellectual. This card has come because you have within you a reserve of strength which you do not know about.This strength can be used to overcome your primal fears and desires.

The Emperor
Christmas Tarot

This week I will be drawing the Card of the Day from the Christmas Tarot by Corrine Kenner. Check out her website here. Today's card is the Emperor, the archetypal father and husband. This card shows a businessman in a suit. But at the moment, he has set all his worldly issues aside and is spending time with his dear children. He is demonstrating a spinning toy and through it, he is reliving his childhood. He is able to connect with his children on their level, instead of dictating orders to his staff. Christmas is a time when even the most stubborn Scrooges can melt, so why not the busy businessman? He has bought interesting gifts for his children including a drum and a bugle. He is disciplined and firm by nature but is also generous and kind. His leadership is an inspiration for the young children.

Since the Christmas season is upon us, I thought that I would pick the Card of the Day from the Christmas Tarot by Corrine Kenner. This deck is available online on www.ChristmasTarot.com . It is a Major Arcana only deck and its theme is a traditional Victorian Christmas. The cards are very beautiful and Christmassy!! They bring with them the joy and the spirit of Christmas. Along with the cards, the website also has a guidebook for these cards. I will be displaying some of the cards till Christmas Day! Have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful and spiritual New Year 2012!

Today's card from the Christmas tarot is the Number 11 card of the Tarot 'Justice'. The card shows an innocent little girl in the snow with a white gown holding candles in her hand. She is like a goddess of justice. She holds two candles showing that she always sees both sides of the story and is not biased. She is using these candles to birn the candles on the trees. So she is spreading her justice everywhere and to everyone. She appears to be cool and calm, but inside, her orange lining under her gown is is fiery passion for the truth. There are 31 stars in the sky representing the days of the month, there is always justice which brings about enlightenment and experience. The card shows that justice will be done and issues that were hidden will come to light.
