Tarot Correspondences: The Sun, The Wheel of Fortune, The Magician

The twenty-first week of a ten/one year (21+10 = 31, 3+1 = 4) is weaving a web with the energies of 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 21 and 31.

→ One is the number of the self and the start. It asks us to take stock of who we are right here, right now, at the beginning of a new year. A new cycle.

→ Two is the number of the next and the other. It wants us to connect the dots between what we’ve started and where we want to go.

→ Three is the number of creation and communication. It’s the smallest digit to encompass the whole of the journey, which you can see in the shape of its numeral, 3, which curves from the beginning, to the middle, to the end.

→ Four is the number of steadfast support and sustenance. It rules the foundations, the roots, traditions and beliefs, systems and structures, and the spaces that house, contain, hold, or cocoon us.

→ Ten is the number of rolling the dice, or spinning the wheel! It’s also the number of completion and aftermath, and what it takes to actually move on, start over, begin again, keep living.

→ Twenty-one is a number of journey’s end, pomp and circumstance, and speaking truth to power. It’s a risky rallying cry, and an opportunity to use your hard-won moment in the spotlight to shed light on what’s important.

→ Thirty-one is a number of scorched earth, of ruin and rumination, and that which remains, long after the fire is extinguished.

Some questions to ask yourself:

A look at some patterns and how they pertain to the week ahead:

A few years ago, I made 78 memes with the Rider-Waite Smith tarot deck and text posts I’d saved from tumblr. This year, I decided to make them into a digital deck! I’m still figuring out the best way to distribute the tumblr tarot, but after playing with it in last week’s Moonday Messages in The Commons Discord server (sign-up or upgrade your subscription to come play!), I can’t help but want to share a sneak peek in this week’s food for thought. Stay tuned and enjoy!

To find your yearly cycle number, add the digits of your month and day of birth to 2026, and reduce until you reach a single digit. For example, the calculation for my birthday of July 7 looks like: 7+7+2+0+2+6 = 24, 2+4 = 6.

Please note that I reduce doubled digit numbers like 11 and 22 to their root numbers when working with yearly cycles, so please calculate and read accordingly.

What are the things you would absolutely do, no questions asked? Make a list this week. Chances are good your list will be fairly long, but if it’s only a couple of things, that’s okay! Know thyself. Okay, now that you have your list, pick one or two things you could slot into your schedule this week. Do them and relish.

When is a time you felt like a badass? Have you ever felt like that? If yes, bask in that memory and let it remind you of who you are. If not, close your eyes and conjure up a picture in your mind of yourself as a true badass. Seriously! You can laugh, but then do it! Where are you? What are you wearing? What are you doing? How does it all make you feel? This week, let that self be motivating and fulfilling.

There’s an old saying that says, Worry is like a rocking chair. You feel like you’re moving, but you’re not actually getting anywhere. While I see the wisdom in that statement, I also wonder if it’s actually helpful? It’s not like it makes the worry go away. This week, if you find yourself ruminating and anxious, or otherwise like a dog with a tempting bone: Pause and find a way to get up from the chair.

Uh oh, you’re feeling disconnected from something or someone, or quite a few somethings or someones. That’s hard. Maybe your pain needs a moment of your time? It’s not a nice thing to do, sit with pain, but we can’t will pain to pass. It will take what it needs from us in one way or another. This week, acknowledge yourself and your upset, and then offer yourself an olive branch.

Because this is “the tumblr tarot,” let’s talk about our beloved hellsite for a minute, specifically around our culture of curating our experiences: we block that bitch and we move on! This week, perhaps you can spend a little less time judging yourself for your needs, and a little more time protecting your peace? How can your no be pleasurable? How can your no more be sacred?

One look around will tell you things are Bad. That’s true. And yet, as Jurassic Park’s Ian Malcolm said, “Life finds a way.” This week, it’s okay to put your blinders up a bit. It doesn’t make you a horrible person to focus on what’s right in front of you. It doesn’t make you selfish to tend to your basic needs, your responsibilities, and then some. Cut down on all forms of martyrdom and just narrow the scope.

Ah, the cycle of life. Birth, life, death, rot. Totally natural, totally unavoidable, and yet, thorny. Or maybe it’s not? Maybe you’re not the one who is taking issue with what’s no longer turning you on? This week, think about the ways in which you greet the end of your creative cycle. Is there a way to cut ties in the way that you need to without throwing the baby out with the bath water?

Engaging in conversation is an art and a skill, one that takes courage and vulnerability to learn. Do you ever consider how hard it is to connect our intangible thoughts to the strong muscle of our tongue, and to be willing to say the wrong thing before we can express a more accurate message? This week might invite you to practice doing the tough tongue thing. Be brave enough to get it wrong.

You have survived every day of your life so far. You have done the best you could with the tools you had at the time. If that’s not a true statement, maybe this is the week to consider taking a deeper look at all of that. But if it is, which I do believe for most, if not all of us, it is, then this week wants you to give yourself your flowers. Or at least a fucking break. Treat yourself with kindness and silence.
