It's always fun to compare what others see in the same cards. For example, today's card for me is the 9 of Wands (Scapini Tarot is my go-to, all-time favorite deck). What I see when I look at this card, is repose, relaxation, "having a beer" after a hard day's work. The rainbow of colors are happiness, especially now that they're on shore and having a bit of "R & R". The galley ships are leaving, not arriving, so they've picked up a new crew while the other one is ashore on their R & R.
ReplyDeleteSo, my interpretation of the 9 of Wands is that of a much needed vacation or time of relaxation after a time of strenuous work. The time frame of day, days, weeks, or months of work (at work or in a business) would be determined by other cards.
Your way of seeing the 3D in these cards opened me up to this deck well over a year ago. Prior to that I just couldn't figure them out, until I found your blog and this method of seeing the cards. This made it much easier - thank you!
