The Wheel of the Western Hermetic Calendar made a major shift as we left the month of Leo and entered the month of Virgo represented by Major Arcana card IX Mekasharet ‘The Mystic’ on August 23.

The bottom row, representing the Jewish calendar according to the Tarot Netivot system now features Major Arcana card XVIII for the month of Av, which began August 5; and the Five of Pentacles Refua Shlema ‘Healing’ which ties to the beginning of the week of the Waning Moon August 24. 

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 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 row.  These are taken from various decks in my collection.

New additions for the month of Taurus:  Bear, Cat, Pig, Squirrel, Peridot, Water Hyacinth, Snowdrop and Narcissus.

Bear, as a Spirit Guide, embodies Divine strength and power.  She is the primal mother who guides and protects.  When Bear stands beside you, she brings a renewal of power and courage.  Bears have the ability to stay grounded, so they impart balance and the ability to move through challenging situations with strength and confidence.

No overlapping correspondences are shared by the two systems between the month of Virgo and the Jewish month of Av 2024.

Existing cards will be exchanged with new incoming cards as the wheel of time 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.
