The Four Elements and the Major Arcana
6:00-7:15 pm EST
The four elements of life are Earth, Air, Fire and Water. They each have metaphysical properties as well as physical properties.
The four elements correlate with the four suits of the Minor Arcana of the tarot. They also correlate with individual cards of the Major Arcana.
The term “Major Arcana” means “Greater Secrets.” The twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana contain the most spiritual messages and lessons of the tarot, and tell the story of our journey through life.
When we learn the elemental associations for each of the Major Arcana cards, we have a clear way to understand these important cards.
This 75 minute webinar will help the tarot student more fully understand the four elements. It will provide a deeper way to comprehend each of the Major Arcana cards. The student will be able to more fully interpret the Major Arcana cards, whether reading for yourself or others.

One Card Tarot Reading
This week’s One Card Tarot Reading is…
The Six of Pentacles
The Six of Pentacles is about sharing your resources with others. It is the card of charity. It suggests that you are successful enough to share your time, energy and other resources with those who deserve them. It also advises that if you are in a difficult situation you should ask for what you need, and know that you will receive appropriate resources.
We all have times of need, and times of bounty. If we share with each other, we will all always have enough.
This Week’s Special Read

Tarot by Christiana Weekly Newsletter February 22, 2012
Greetings! I have a few exciting events I would like to tell you about this week. Before I do, I want to share with you some of what happened at Tarot Circle in Jupiter this past Monday.
Tarot Circle is a wonderful way to learn tarot, and to share readings and fellowship with friends. Did you know that most people who learn tarot never choose to read on a professional level? For most enthusiasts, tarot remains a fun hobby, a tool of self-reflection and an opportunity to enjoy a community of insightful people.
What does it take to learn tarot? It only takes a tarot deck and a commitment to learn!
Tarot Circle meets monthly in Jupiter and West Palm Beach, and online with Webex.
Please check out our ever-growing Tarot Circle website at http://tarotcircle.org, and follow the links to join our Tarot Circle Meetups.
At each Tarot Circle meeting, we discuss a different topic. Our topic for this past Monday was the suit of Pentacles, which relates to the element of Earth. Interestingly (there are no coincidences) one of our members had just purchased the new Gaian Tarot, which has as its theme reverence for the planet.
A great way to study tarot is to compare different tarot decks. At this meeting, we had the opportunity to compare this new, modern deck with the standard tarot images. It gave us a deeper understanding of how the Earth element is expressed in each card of the Pentacles suit.
We also did some compare/contrast exercises within the Minor Arcana. Specifically, we compared/contrasted the four Aces, and then the Ten of Pentacles with the Ten of Cups.
So, what happens at Tarot Circle? We talk about the cards, and about how they related to life. We always do at least one reading. Whether you are brand new to tarot or an experienced reader, you will always learn something new about the cards, and something new about yourself.

I was excited to give a Psychic Gallery in the chapel of Unity Church in the Garden at 550 Bush Road in Jupiter on Monday, February 6. This was a successful fundraiser for Unity Church. Galleries are so much fun because the information that comes through for individuals is often helpful to all who hear it.
Folks are still talking about the event; here are some comments.
From Maggie:
WONDERFUL! Christiana is a doll, so friendly and accurate.

Did You Know?
Last Thursday, February 2, was Groundhog Day. Groundhog Day began as a Celtic Pagan holiday that celebrates the coming spring. Modern Pagans still celebrate this day as a major holiday, known as Imbolc or Brigid. On the Christian calendar, it is celebrated as Candlemas.
February 2 is equidistant between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox.
The logic behind the Groundhog’s weather prediction is this. If the Groundhog does not see his shadow, it is because the spring rains have already begun.
Spring Blessings to You,
Christiana
