Our Decan Walk Journey begins with the 2 of Wands, which is associated with Mars in Aries. First, let’s explore the Astrological and Tarot aspects and then see how they show up in the imagery of the 2 of Wands Tarot Card.
Astrology and Tarot are connected with each other. As many of you know, I have been flirting with astrology for some time now. Recently, I decided to learn it properly. I tend to view everything through the lens of Tarot, my first love. So, this year, I decided to embark on a journey, a “Decan Walk,” to understand astrology through the Tarot. Starting in March 2025 and continuing until March 2026, this year-long journey will help me learn and understand Astrology through the Lens of the Tarot. The plan is to learn the basics of Astrology through the connections between Astrology and Tarot.
Death is the End. And it is NOT a bad thing.
My understanding of the Death card has evolved. Years of Readings and client feedback have taught me that the Death card means an Ending is unfolding. People in the Tarot world often declare the Death card to be about Transformation and Change. However, I say that the Death card is an Ending. The card hints at Changes, but those show up afterward. In The Death Card, what we experience is an ending. And that ending isn’t a bad thing at all.
Characters with Male and Female Genders in the Tarot Cards are quite common. For a long time, I thought that this was merely the creative decision of the Designer of that Tarot Deck. However, as I worked with the cards over the years, this perception has changed. Today, I would like to talk a little bit about the Masculine or Male and the Feminine or Female Gender Characters in the Tarot Cards and what they have come to mean for me.
Did you know that there is a “correct” sequence of the four suits in a Tarot Deck? I didn’t either! Back in the day, I thought that the suits came packed in the order favored by the deck creator or publisher. In fact, I would order the suits in a way that I preferred: Wands, Swords, Cups, and Pentacles. Turns out I was wrong! There is actually a method to the madness! There is a very good reason why the sequence of four suits in a Tarot Deck is: Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. And that reason lies within the basic structure of the Tree of Life in Kabbala. Let’s find out more, shall we?
One of the key Hermetic Principles is: As Above So Below. I was thinking about the state of our world and then I remembered this principle, and I began to wonder.
The world has always been a mess. It is a mess that we human beings have created and kept on escalating to even bigger and higher levels of messy. According to the concept of “As Above So Below”, then it also means that this mess just got way more messier!
As always, I use my Tarot Cards to help me make sense of this mess. Let’s explore these thought processes, shall we!
Betrayal. ? Everyone has experienced this on some level in their life. Wouldn’t you like to be able to recognize the scenarios where betrayal may very likely occur, as and when they show up in your Tarot and Lenormand Readings?

When you do a Tarot Card Reading, you lay the cards in a Spread. And a Spread is made up of a number of Positions. Occasionally you’ll end up with getting positive cards in a negative spread position, and negative cards in a positive spread position. This is most probably because the cards have a wacky sense of humor. ?
Let’s see how we can make sense of these combinations, and do an excellent reading for our clients!

For those just starting out in Tarot, choosing the right deck is a well-established problem, as there are so much choice. Most people working with Tarot will tell you to ‘follow your intuition’ when picking your deck. This is an excellent piece of advice that makes good sense. Reading Tarot is about accessing your intuition, so finding a deck that speaks to your intuition is vital. But, ‘following your intuition’, especially when you are just starting out, is easier said than done. Here are some practical tips to consider when choosing a Tarot deck.
