GM 2 ☕

I've been finding that #tarot tends to tell me really obvious stuff. Maybe its going easy on me cuz I'm a beginner... Maybe I'm not being imaginative enough...

I drew these two cards:

King of Pentacles followed by Justice

As a way to practice and learn, I kinda made up a little system. I initially started trying spreads and it was just too much. Plus, I only have myself to experiment on.

The system is this : shuffle, draw a card, treat it as face up, regardless of how it actually draws. Disregard all the meaning I read about it, if I can even remember, and just think about the picture.

Then, draw the next card.

The first card is a statement ; the second card qualifies the statement. Only two cards.

So today, I got King of Pentacles as the statement and Justice as the qualifier.

Pentacles generally represents earth or materiality. The image evokes feelings of contentedness and success, and as I thought about it, I imagined a greenhouse and laughing guests in the greenhouse.

Justice wears a crown, which seemed to emphasize a connection to the previous card ; holds a sword upright, neither tilted left nor right ; is in the same pose as the Priestess, seated in front of a veil between two pillars ; but the pillars are not labelled and the person is not blindfolded, as Justice is typically represented.

Thus, Justice is integration of higher and lower, material and spiritual. It means that actions have consequences, and things will find their correct place, but the cause of the action may be unseen. There's no peek behind the veil, so going into the unseen isn't an option - instead, the gaze is forward, away from the unseen.

Justice qualifies the King of Pentacles, the pinnacle of the last suit, the result of success in the journey of the fall. What you get is what you deserve. Success will be an invitation to others to grow in what you've built.

Feel free to point out any other meanings you see. Tbh, I feel like my interpretation is very clinical, despite my imaginative practice with the first card.
