Sun Leo


Sun Leo, Tarot Strength Tarot Strength. Is strength taking the fruit, or refusing the fruit? The split in the pomegranate represents the act of decision and the seeds within the countless once hidden, but now visible, possibilities. Whether accepting the fruit or declining the fruit there will be repercussions. You can only do what you feel is right. There is no right or wrong there is only what works for you. An act of submission is sometimes an act of strength. As an example of a bicameral archetype for this card, Achilles is opportune because of his reactionary fixed  automatic responses […]

It is the first step to our educating ourselves on how we resolve the influence. Overcoming fear of the dark is our next step on the path to cognition of the paradox. See Tarot Hermit and […]
