what tarot cards would you associate with Athena? i'm trying to ask if She was the one that got me a scholarship but i don't know what Her typical cards are

Helloooo I've been in a snack-induced stupor so I don't know how old any of these messages are, so lemme just answer 'em now.

Okay, so, Athena. Generally speaking, I associate her with three Major Arcana cards, in this order: Justice, the Emperor, and maybe Strength. This is because for identifiers and significators, I really only work with the Major Arcana portion of my decks.

However, other people associate her with other cards, including Minor Arcana.

Alder-BOS associates Athena with the Hierophant, the Chariot, Justice, Strength, the Sun, the suit of Swords, the Queen of Swords, the Knight of Swords, the Knight of Pentacles, the Page of Swords, the Page of Pentacles, and the Page of Wands in this post.

KrizsytianP associates Athena with the Hierophant, the Chariot, Justice, the 9 of Wands, and the 2 of Swords in this post.

TheTarotRoot associates Athena with the Emperor and Justice in this post.

I hope this helps!

✧ 11 ways to pick a Significator

Significators (or Signifiers) are quite common in Lenormand. They are used to symbolise an individual (the querent, their partner, their daughter, their cat, etc), or a theme (my sister’s wedding, the birth of my nephew, my workplace, your love life, my cat’s health) or to deepen a specific topic that appeared in a reading.

You will find 11 different ways to chose and to use Significators for your Tarot readings in this article.

In Lenormand, usually the querent is represented by either the Anima (woman, lady) or Animus (man, gentleman), but of course they can chose a different card if they are not comfortable with either of these two. The place where the Significator falls in a reading can inform us about the person we do the reading for and their situation. For instance, check out the following reading:

Considering that this was a reading for myself, I would first and foremost locate the Anima. I would then look at the cards aligned with it horizontally and vertically. On the left I would see the cards referring to the past, on the right to the future, beneath the Anima my assets and skills and above my aspirations.

Now let’s say that those clouds worry me as I don’t really remember anything relating to this in my recent past and I think that maybe my perception is wrong, or maybe there’s a lesson to be learnt, so I’d like to look further into this. I just follow the same process and single out the cards aligned with the clouds horizontally and vertically. I can then replicate this process with any other card, representing any other theme, should I wish to do so.

As you can imagine, a Significator can be quite handy in a reading, especially if the person you are reading for would like more information about specific areas of their life while you mention them.

We can use Significators in a similar ways in Tarot or by singling out a specific card and working our spread around it. Here are some ways to chose a Significator:

✧ Flip through the deck

This is by far the easiest way: simply flip through your deck and see if a card resonates with you or the question you are going to ask. For example, I chose the Page of Swords because she evokes very Athenian values which I try to work on within myself and I would like the reading to advise me on how to best awaken these qualities within me.

✧ The Major Arcana

The Major Arcana represent the archetypal energy of everyone’s journey and are therefore ideal to represent specific ideas or situations. For example: if a querent wants to know how their brand new partnership will work, I’d pull The Lovers as a signifier for this specific theme. Simply refer to your guidebook to select the most appropriate card.

✧ The Astrological correspondences of the Major Arcana

Each of the Major Arcana is associated with a Zodiac sign, a Planet or a Luminary. If you want to select the card that corresponds to your Sign, then you can refer to the following table:

You could even go as far as to select a specific placement based on your question: want to know how to get in touch with your emotions? Pick the card associated with your Moon Sign. A sentimental quarry? Pull your Venus Sign’s card! Want to know how to improve the first impression you give? Select the card of your Mercury Sign.

If you resonate better with your ruling planet, then you can refer to this list instead:

☉ The Sun ☽ The High Priestess ☿ The Magician ♂︎ The Tower ♀︎ The Empress ♃ The Wheel of Fortune ♄ The World ♅ The Fool ♆ The Hanged Man ♇ Judgement

✧ The Court Cards

There is a consensus that each figure of the Court Cards represents individuals at a specific age of development. Combine this with the element of each suite and you can pick the Queen of Swords for a mature woman born under an Air Sign or the Knight of Wands for a boy with a fiery temperament.

The court cards could represent you or someone else in your life. First select a suite:

Wands represent Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Pentacles represent Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

Swords represent Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

Cups represent Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

Then, chose a Court Card:

Page: Young woman or girl

Knight: Young man or boy

Queen: Woman or mature woman

King: Man or mature man

This can seem a bit vague so I would generally pick a Page or Knight for an individual under 30 years old and would rather chose the Queen or King for someone older, but it is really more about a perceived sense of maturity and actual age in my opinion.

✧ The Court Cards astrological correspondences

If you would like to use a Court Card as a Significator but want it to reflect your Sun Sign more precisely, you’re in luck: each Court Card is assigned to three astrological decans as follows:

✧ The Court Cards as personality traits

The Court Cards can also figure a Persona you are using when faced with certain situations or a main trait in the personality of the person you are choosing a Significator for. Here are some aspects associated with the Court Cards:

Page of Wands imaginative/adventurous/mischievous/exciting. Page of Cups soft/innocent/emotional/dramatic/hopeful/caring. Page of Swords resolved/nervous/bright/talkative/curious. Page of Pentacles diligent/initiative/quiet/physical.

Knight of Wands brash/reckless/impulsive/blunt/fearless. Knight of Cups moody/charming/romantic/idealist/artistic. Knight of Swords aggressive/ambitious/agile/direct/cunning. Knight of Pentacles responsible/steadfast/dedicated/workaholic.

Queen of Wands independent/confident/feisty/determined/passionate/sincere/optimistic. Queen of Cups tender/empathetic/intuitive/compassionate/sensitive/soothing. Queen of Swords sharp/mysterious/reserved/straightforward/just. Queen of Pentacles patient/nurturing/welcoming/practical/authentic/giving.

King of Wands passionate/brave/commanding/energetic/funny/inspiring. King of Cups caring/creative/spiritual/collected/warm/diplomatic. King of Swords logical/impartial/disciplined/distant/aloof/decisive. King of Pentacles provider/supportive/successful/stable/family-oriented.

✧ Aces for general readings

When doing a general reading, you can use Aces as Significators as each of them is associated with a season. So for example, if you were to do a reading to know how to make the best out of your Summer, you would use the Ace of Cups as a Significator. Here are the correspondences:

Summer - Ace of Cups Autumn - Ace of Swords Winter - Ace of Pentacles Spring - Ace of Wands

✧ The Minor Arcana’s astrological correspondences

Each of the numbered Minor Arcana in your deck is ruled by a specific sign:

Here is an example of a reading for a querent born on May 29th, who’s Significator according the the above table is the VIII of Swords:

✧ Numerology

Almost every card in the Tarot is numbered. Therefore, if you have more affinity with numerology than with astrology, you can chose a card that has the same number as your Life Path Number. For example, if it is 6, you can chose The Lovers, The Devil or any other card that bears the number 6 or a number that can be broken down to 6 (15 is 1 + 5 = 6).

To find out your Life Path Number, simply add up all the numbers of your birth date or you can use this little tool that will do it for you.

Here is an example:

March 8th 1997

3 + 8 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 7 = 37

3 + 7 = 10

1 + 0 = 1

I’m fairly certain one can expand on this, but as I am no expert in the matter of numerology, I leave that to your own research ;)

✧ Birth Cards

Another way to chose a Significator is to find your Soul Card and your Personality Card, also known as Birth Cards.

The Soul Card represents your higher self, your soul or spirit, the part of you that is immaterial and immortal. To identify the Soul Card, add up the day, month and year of your birth.

Example: May 21st 1997

30 + 12 + 1987 = 2029

Since 2029 is higher than 22 (number of Major Arcana if your Tarot deck), reduce it further

2 + 0 + 2 + 9 = 13

Once you have a number smaller than 22, refer to the following:

In our example, the Soul Card is the card number 13: Death.

The Personality Card represents your ego, the way your soul is being expressed, experienced and perfected through your current existence. To find out which card is your Personality Card, just reduce the two numbers of your Soul Card to a single digit and refer back to the table above:

1 + 3 = 4

4 = The Emperor

If it so happens that your Soul Card is a single digit card, don’t worry as it is far from uncommon. It simply means that the same card is your Soul Card and Personality Card.

If you prefer, you can use this online calculator instead of doing the math yourself.

I will expend on the meaning of those in a later article. For now, you have found two potential Significators. One representing your spiritual side, one representing your physical reality. Here is a wheel spread reading for a querent who’s Soul Card is II The High Priestess and the Personal Card is I The Magician:

✧ Oracle Cards

Something I really like to do, especially when the Significator I am looking for is meant to represent a theme rather than a person, is to pick a card from an Oracle deck.

For example, the querent pulled the “Obstacle” card in the Compendium of Constellations when doing a spread and wanted some insight about it. So we looked into it, using the card as a Significator.

This is by far my favourite method of choosing Significators and the one I use most often for 2 reasons:

When I do a Tarot reading, I like having the entire deck at my disposal. If I’m short of one card because I selected it as a Significator, I am depriving myself of the possibility of that card popping up in the reading and telling me something potentially important in regards to my question.

The Oracle cards cover a wide range of both specific situations and vague concepts. There is a cards for everything!

So there you have it, many different ways of choosing a Significator. Hope this will be helpful to at least some of you out there :)

Thank you for reading and see you later ~✧

Some insane, narratively-significant details in the first episode of Yellowjackets, from the set designers, costume designers and directors:

- The journal separating Shauna and Jackie:

- Taissa’s wallpaper being a forest, linked to her trauma due to the wolf attack and to her sleepwalking:

- Jackie and Shauna’s jackets and necklaces having very few differences, hinting at how deeply intertwined their lives/identities are (late edit no one will see: even their dresses are similar):

- Natalie in front of fireplaces, as fire will destroy the cabin right after her coronation and she’ll have the front seat to the fires during the... dinners:

- Natalie already singled out from the team due to very different shoes:

- Natalie’s bullet necklace, as both her past and future are linked to firearms:

- The Shauna antlers, right after putting on the necklace of doom, just as she’s (already) entering an altered state of mind:

- Ben’s right leg being already cut off:

- The colors of their tamagotchis, which are Jackie’s color panel for college:

- The enormous amount of Jackie symbolism:

• Poppies surrounding a picture of Jackie and Shauna in Jackie’s room, as the wallpaper of Shauna’s teen room though she was trying to cover it, on Shauna and Jeff’s wedding cake

• The pattern of Jackie’s dress as a painting in Shauna’s house (on the far right):

• Shauna going from wearing a heart necklace without a gold chain before the plane, to a heart necklace with a gold chain, to a gold chain without a heart:

#yellowjackets #yellowjackets meta #natalie scatorccio #jackie taylor #shauna shipman #taissa turner #i didn't include the rabbits bc they're not purely visual details #also didn't include the signification of their roles in the soccer team

Altra parola Giapponese che trovo bellissima, rappresenta più che altro un concetto: vivere la vita senza rimpianti e rimorsi accettando tutto quello che non dipende da noi e che non possiamo controllare o evitare.

Quote

To see human beings as signifying animals — even outside the practice of verbal language — and to see that their ability to produce and to interpret signs, as well as their ability to draw inferences, is rooted in the same cognitive structures, represent a way to give form to our experience.

honestly one of my wishes for Rebirth is that Barret's date is taken a bit more seriously

like i know the scene in the OG is very funny and iconic with Cloud going "hoo boy" and all that but i wish they'd take this opportunity to open up to each other a little. i hope they have a more meaningful/mature conversation this time around even if they still add the comedy bit

#barret's resolution scene in remake part 1 was okay but they still talked about tifa more #and like i love cloti but barret is an option for a reason even if it was more meant as a 'joke' originally #i'm not even asking them to make it romantic i just want the date to be more significative for their relationship #barret #my post
