Tarot Astrology Waxing Moon Cheshvan 5784 Jewish & Western Hermetic Correspondences according to the Tarot Netivot system

The Wheel of the Western Hermetic Calendar makes a major shift as we leave the month of Libra and enter the month of Scorpio represented by Major Arcana card XIII Mekonennet ‘Death’ on October 23.  The first decan of Libra also begins on October 23.

The bottom row, representing the Jewish calendar according to the Tarot Netivot system has already been featuring Major Arcana card XIII ‘Death’ since October 12; and the Six of Swords for the beginning of the week of the Waxing Moon October 19.

So for eighteen days, we have many overlapping correspondences between our two systems.  These include:  scorpion; eagle; Phoenix; bat; panther; wolf; vulture; aquamarine; amethyst; amber; yew; and blackthorn.  XII the Hanged Man also has the scorpion; the eagle; and aquamarine.  XVI The Tower shares the wolf; the vulture; and the scorpion.

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.  This works with the Solar Calendar.  These are the correspondences that Benebell 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 the most beautiful; and the hand painted Illuminated Tarot Starlight Rainbows edition.  This works 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:  The snake; fish; dolphin; bear; pearl; moonstone; and the lotus — all correspondences associated with XII The Hanged Man.  And, crow, wasp, diamond, hellebore with the XVI The Tower.

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.
