Today's Tarot for Jay Leno
| The Cross and Triangle spread is a powerful means of understanding complex situations, developed by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This spread is rich in occult and mystical symbolism, and one of our favorites here at Facade. The Haindl Tarot weaves a tapestry of haunting beauty from the traditions of Native America, the Holy Grail, the I Ching, Kabbalah and the Norse Runes, and is the deck of choice for mystics and those seeking enlightenment. If you would like your own copy of the Haindl Tarot, you can buy it now! |
 | The first card, the significator, is placed in the center of the cross. This card represents the prime energy manifest in your life. The Magician: Power. Strength. Being in control of one's life. Transforming old situations, bringing in new ones. A burst of energy. Creativity. Focused will. |
 | The second card, placed above the significator, represents Air. It describes your spirit, process of thought, and the influence of reason. The Fool: Act impulsively. Follow your feelings. Surprise. Wonder. Excitement. Take opportunities that arise. |
 | The third card, placed to the right of the significator, represents Fire. It describes your motivations, creative energies, and the influence of passion. The Tower, when reversed: Similar to upright meanings, but less severe. A shaking up. Minor disturbance. |
 | The fourth card, placed below the significator, represents Water. It describes your emotions, meditations, and the influence of love. Death, when reversed: Resisting change. Stagnation. Inertia. Pain of giving something up. |
 | The fifth card, placed to the left of the significator represents Earth. It describes your physical presence, position in life, and the influence of the material world. The Devil: Something exciting, possibly dangerous or forbidden. Temptation. Physical gratification. Exploring darker feelings. Wild action opens up new areas in life. |
 | At this point the cross is complete and the triangle is formed. The sixth card, placed on the bottom left of the triangle represents one of two opposing forces. Daughter of Wands (Radha): Abundance. Joy. Good sense. Culture. |
 | The seventh card, placed on the bottom right of the triangle represents the force that opposes the bottom left card. These forces may be external, but they are frequently one's own inner archetypes in conflict. Ten of Cups (Success), when reversed: Success blocked. Negativity, apathy. |
 | The eighth card, the reconciler, is placed below the cross in the third vertex of the triangle. This is the force that will resolve the conflict between the bottom left and bottom right cards. By meditating on this force and bringing more of it into your life, you can bring the matter at hand to a swifter conclusion than would naturally occur. Nine of Wands (Power): Great energy. Arrogance, especially toward those who feel weak. Life's resiliency. |
 | The ninth and final card, placed in the center bottom of the triangle, represents the final outcome unless you change course. Four of Cups (Mixed Happiness), when reversed: Loss of balance. Suppressed emotions. |
