two part harmony


A reading for two, showing lives in harmony. Both lines begin with a trump and end with a spot card from the spades suit.

The star, is an unthreatening, hopeful image. Writing at Aeclectic.net, Thirteen comments that "Like Aquarius," to which the classical image of the Marseilles pack clearly alludes, "the card's vision is for tomorrow." Placed here in the recent past, it tells me that it's time to translate yesterday's hope into the action indicated in the three clubs, the writer's card. High levels of creativity are achieved under stress.

The karma card, six spades. is an old friend, and indicates the results of work and health habits, for good or for ill. And in my case I'm hoping for a positive result from my  recent resumption of a daily yoga practice, along with three or four cardio workouts in the gym per week.

The other line begins with the Pope, a symbol of formal religious study, orthodox thinking, and adherence to tradition, all things my partner hopes to leave behind as she moves to a new home in a new state, represented by five hearts. Seven spades, the card of faith, in this case refers mainly to faith in herself, her vision of the future, and a spiritualism free of hidebound conventions and "thou shalt not" admonitions.

At the end of our sixth decades, life remains an adventure.
