Hello everyone !
I am so glad Erica opened a tarot section on the forum ! <3
I was thinking of opening a thread where we could explore what cards we resonate with the most. I think this can be connected to typology too - I see certain cards as representative of certain CT functions and/or to Enneagram fixes.
I will start talking about my own soul card. I have to say I never fully identified with the energy of any of the cards in the RWS deck. The closest would be the Queen of Wands, but the image doesn't speak to me on a truly personal level.
I recently discovered that I resonate a whole lot with The Fool from the Joie de Vivre tarot deck though :
I was amazed by how many details in this card remind me of my personality and inner (and outer) journey.
First, of course, this woman has a pretty casual position, so she looks like a Pe lead (though I suppose she could be another type too... but the Fool tends to be a Pe heavy card, so this would fit better with the card's general thematic). Then, her oval eyes and raised outer edges suggest an Se-Ni user... And I also think she has an Fi smile.
She is on the run, having a small backpack - so she is exploring the world, being present and future oriented and holding just the strictly necessary baggage with her. I moved from my hometown to another city where I did my studies and after that to another one - for a new job. I am planning to move back to the second place I lived. Also, I am very curious about all sorts of topics and have a certain thirst for information that can be almost never satiated. I move from a passion to another, trying to cover as much space as possible. Maybe this is 5 disintegrating to 7 ?
I am Fi conscious and I think she is too - as she is smelling and maybe listening to the flower that represents her Fi. Also, she is holding her staff with a certain meticulousness and finesse.
She risks to fall in the water below and be eaten alive by the crocodile, which is again very fitting, because I am going through a period in which unconscious elements keep coming up to the light and need to be confronted.
I love that she is pulled back by a bat and not by a dog, like the classical Fool, because I love bats and have fed some that got rescued from an old building and held in a safe place by a local NGO !
lso, I think Se reckless tendencies need to be held back by Ni caution and since my Ni is not conscious, it makes sense for the bat to appear as a night creature behind the main character. I read that the bat's name is Prudence, which seems to confirm my theory.
I also love that there is a spider hanging from the Fool's staff. I have seen some spiders when I tried to do visualizations of my inner landscapes and I came to realize they might represent a rejected part of myself. The part that weaves everything together and creates a coherent narrative about the world. So, it's astonishing the spider is also behind our Fool and hanging from her staff, that has a bit of a similarity to crosiers. See?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrosierI love this path but I will not shout it in the wind. It's there but it's not emphasized; it's just suggested.
She also has the fool's cap, which is pretty much in line with Se trickster energy.
I could think of other cards I resonate with but this is my most recent discovery and I also thought it fits with this being the very first post in this section. The beginning of a journey...
I'm curious if you guys also have cards that you resonate with and why. Also, do you think they are connected to your enneagram or CT type?
