Hi everybody!  Thanks as always, @fire cat pickles .  This week for me will be Tarot in Space Cosmic Zen.  It’s a birthday gift from my son and daughter-in-law (along with two other decks I’ve decided not to add to my collection.  But I enjoyed checking them out!) 

 

It’s a cute comic book style-deck.  When I went to the creator’s site to grab the companion pdf, I found out it’s based on the creator’s own Hitchhiker’s Guide-esque novel series, The Audacity by Carmen Loup.  (Insert obligatory envy-hating of talented people who can both write and illustrate here.)  An abducted earthling becomes a rocket racer in a rocket named The Audacity and of course saves the universe along the way.  There are four books, and I’ve almost finished the first.  Funny and engaging.  And more so because of the illustrations in the cards! 

 

Suits are rockets, comets, lasers, and planets.  Courts are ensign, lieutenant (all androids), night captain, and day captain.  (Oh, and the cards have messages in an “alien” phonetic alphabet, but I haven’t figured that out yet.)

 

Let’s see what the deck has to say for itself!

 

 

 

Seems like a lot of celebration here!  And a lot of rockets/fire!

 

What is your most important characteristic?  Four of Rockets

May the protagonist and Xan her alien friend celebrate a racing win.

The deck is all about a fun tarot organization (4) of the energy (rockets) of the stories.

 

What is your strength?  Ten of Rockets

It seems like the stories could be too ephemeral to carry an entire tarot, but it has the ability pull it off.

 

Your weakness?  Lieutenant of Rockets

Meta:  So far, I’ve only encountered one android in the story, and it was in the junkyard.

Maybe the deck has flown too far away from its source material?

 

What can you teach me?  Six of Rockets

More May and Xan celebration.

The deck can teach me to loosen up and enjoy the wins.

 

How can I learn it?  Six of Comets

Pair of sixes.

Young earthling May accepts a premonitory flower from an (alien) stranger.

I can learn to enjoy my wins by being open to receive them even if they don’t look like what I’m expecting.

 

What will be the outcome of our work together?  Three of Planets

And even more togetherness.  May and Xan welcome the hyper-rational Listay as a member of their racing team.

Speaking of working together!  The whimsy of the deck will blend and work well with my more rationalize and generalized tarot knowledge to be a good team.

 

Love it!  We’ll see how it reads this week and how I enjoy the rest of the stories.

 

Welcome back @Rachelcat 😀
