Alright, alright, let’s talk about this… this “decan tarot,” whatever that fancy name means. Folks these days, always comin’ up with new things. But, you know, even us old hens can learn a thing or two. So, lemme tell ya what I figured out about it, in my own plain way.
First off, they say it’s different from regular tarot. You know, the cards with the pretty pictures? Yeah, well, this decan stuff is like… lookin’ at them cards in a special way. Like, instead of just seein’ a picture of a king or somethin’, you gotta think about the stars too. Crazy, right? But hold on, I’ll explain it like I understand it.
What’s This Decan Business Anyway?
Okay, so they got these things called “signs.” Like, you know, Leo, Taurus, Gemini, all them names. Each sign is like a piece of the sky, I guess. Now, these smarty-pants, they take each sign and chop it up into three little pieces. They call them “decans.” So, think of it like a pie. The whole pie is a sign, and each slice is a decan. And each slice is 10 degrees, whatever that means. They say there are 12 signs so there are 36 decans in total. Seems like a lot of slices to me.
Now, each of these decan slices gets a card or two. Like, for example, they say the King of Wands card goes with Scorpio and Sagittarius. Page of Swords with Gemini, Aquarius and Libra. Knight of Swords card works with Capricorn and Aquarius. Queen of Swords card is for Virgo and Libra. King of Swords goes with Taurus and Gemini. Page of Pentacles is for Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo. Knight of Pentacles goes with Aries and Taurus. Queen of Pentacles is for Sagittarius and Capricorn. See? It’s like matchin’ up the cards with the star slices. Don’t ask me why, that’s just how they do it.
How’s it Different from Regular Tarot Reading?
Well, like I said, it’s not just lookin’ at the picture. You gotta think about the star slice too. So, if you pull a King of Wands, and it’s in the Scorpio slice, it means somethin’ different than if it was in the Sagittarius slice. It’s like addin’ another layer to the readin’, makin’ it… well, more complicated, I reckon.
They say it makes the readin’ deeper. Like, instead of just sayin’ “you’re gonna get some money,” it’s more like “you’re gonna get some money, but only if you’re brave and take a chance durin’ the Scorpio time.” See what I mean? It gets all… specific.
- Going Deeper Than Just the Surface: So, they say this decan thing helps you see more in the cards than just the regular stuff. It’s like lookin’ real close and findin’ hidden meanin’s.
- Adding More Detail: By usin’ them decans, you get more details. It ain’t just about what the card means on its own, but also how it mixes with that star slice.
- Connecting to the Stars: This part’s a bit out there for me, but they say it connects the cards to the stars. Like the stars are whisperin’ secrets to the cards, and the cards are whisperin’ them to you. Sounds like a lot of whisperin’ to me!
Making Sense of it All
Now, I ain’t gonna lie, it all sounds a bit hocus pocus to me. But, you know, folks find comfort in different things. And if this decan tarot helps someone make sense of their life, well, more power to ‘em. It’s just another way of lookin’ at things, I guess. Like lookin’ at the same ol’ field but seein’ different crops growin’ each season.
They also talk about somethin’ called the Chaldean Order. Sounds fancy, huh? It’s got somethin’ to do with the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. They say the decans go in order from the slowest planet to the fastest. Starts with Mars in Aries, whatever that means. Honestly, it’s a bit much for my old brain, but some folks eat this stuff up. Like puttin’ gravy on everything. Some people like it, some don’t.
One example they gave was Taurus, the sign, and the Hierophant card. They say that card sits between two temple columns, and the sign of Taurus starts from late April to late May. I don’t know much about that, but it sounds important to them decan folks.
So, there you have it. My take on this decan tarot. It’s a bit complicated for my likin’, but maybe it’ll help you understand a bit better. At the end of the day, it’s all about findin’ meanin’ in life, whether it’s from the stars, the cards, or just a good cup of coffee in the mornin’.
