Tarot Astrology Waxing Moon Shevat 5784 Jewish & Western Hermetic Correspondences according to the Tarot Netivot system
Feedback, Questions, and Comments are Welcome.
The Wheel of the Western Hermetic Calendar makes a major shift as we leave the month of Saggitarius and enter the month of Aquarius represented by Major Arcana card XVII Na’arah ‘Hope/The Star’ on January 20. The first decan of Capricorn also begins on January 20 with the Five of Swords ‘Karmic Lessons’.
The bottom row, representing the Jewish calendar according to the Tarot Netivot system has already been featuring Major Arcana card VI Ohevet ‘Choice/The Lovers’ since January 11; and the Six of Swords Netzach ‘Victory’ since the beginning of the week of the Waxing Moon January 15.
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 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 rows. These are taken from various decks in my collection. New additions: Otter, Eagle, Peacock, Turquoise, Chalcedony, Amethyst, Garnet, Quartz, Jasper, Fruit Trees (Lemon, Cherry, and Pomegranate), Olive, and Fir. All are correspondences for the month of Aquarius.
There are no correspondences held in common by the two systems this time. It is interesting to note that both Garnet and Cherry appear together on one card: The Eight of Pentacles. Also, Hematite Quartz and Pomegranate appear together on the same card: VI Ohevet ‘Choice/The Lovers’. These are both from the Telluric Tarot.
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.
