The Wheel of the Western Hermetic Calendar makes a major shift as we leave the month of Aquarius and enter the month of Pisces represented by Major Arcana card XII Doreshet ‘The Seeker’ on February 19.  The first decan of Capricorn begins on January 20 with the Eight of Cups Shmita ‘Spiritual Retreat’.

The top line features Tarot cards as they relate to today’s Western Hermetic Astrology using primarily the Tabula Mundi Tarot Silver Edition by M.M. Melleen.  These work with the Solar Calendar.  These are the correspondences that Benebell Wen uses when working with the SKT and astrology.

The Wheel of the Jewish Calendar made a major shift as we left the month of Tevet and entered the month of Adar I represented by Major Arcana card 0 Leitzanit ‘The Fool’ on February 14.

The bottom row, representing the Jewish calendar according to the Tarot Netivot system now features Major Arcana card 0 for the beginning of the month of Adar I; and the Three of Wands ‘Expansion’ for the beginning of the week of the Waxing Moon February 14.

Here are the overlapping correspondences that were shared by the month of Aquarius and the month of Adar I:  The Eagle; Chalcedony; and Quartz.

The bottom line features Tarot cards as they relate to the Hebrew calendar according to Tarot Netivot.  I am using the Lurianic Tarot by Basilikon — one of the few truly Jewish Tarot decks out there and certainly one of the most beautiful; and the hand painted Illuminated Tarot Starlight Rainbows edition.  These work with the Lunar Calendar.

The middle cards are animal, crystal, and plant correspondences according to T. Susan Chang in the book ‘Tarot Correspondences’.  These are tied to the Major Arcana cards as they appear in Tarot Netivot representing each Jewish month,  Jewish holidays, and major lunar and solar events as well as to the Western Hermetic Major Arcana in the top rows.  These are taken from various decks in my collection.  New additions for the month of Adar I:  Crocodile; Insects; Topaz; Clear Quartz; Bamboo; Fern; Peppermint; and Lavender.  New additions for the month of Pisces:  Dolphin; Snake; Moth; Scorpion; Aquamarine; Silver; Pearl; Lotus; and Water Plants.

The one remaining correspondence held in common by the two systems this time is The Eagle.  Benebell Wen writes of the golden eagle that appears in 4 in the ‘Book of Maps’ ‘The Emperor’ ‘The golden eagle is an omen of possessing power, and if oft seen as a messenger between Heaven and Earth.’  Bernadette King in ‘Wisdom of the Wild Ones’ shares that the Eagle Spirit Animal can watch over you as a guardian and bear messages to and from the Divine.

Existing cards will be exchanged with new incoming cards as the wheel of the year turns.  Lunar phases change every 3 - 4 days; decans change every 10 days.  Months change every 28 - 31 days.  Note:  I am working with 2 different systems to mark the months, one solar and the other lunar.  I shall try to post a new board every time there is significant movement.
