CARD OF THE WEEKEND: September 3-4, 2022

 

La Temperanza

I Gatti

by Osvaldo Menegazzi

September 3-4, 2022: "You humans always like to laugh at TikTok videos showing us cats knocking over glasses of water! Well, what if that cat were knocking it over just to pour that water into another glass? Clever! Okay, I know that sounds silly to you, but what if?"

Indeed, Osvaldo Menegazzi's La Temperanza puts a different spin on our familiar Temperance archetype.

As I see it, Menegazzi's drawing introduces the possibility that a little bit of mischief, or something you consider to be a petty nuisance, might turn out to have a different impetus and a different outcome--a better or, at least, acceptable one--than first expected. 

So, have patience and a sense of humor. Things are not out of control. They're really in order--or will be--if you just give them a minute to reveal their true nature.

CARDS OF THE WEEKEND: June 18-19, 2022

 

Il Bagatto and Gli Amanti

I Gatti

by Osvaldo Menegazzi

June 18-19, 2022: I Gatti ("the cats") is Osvaldo Menegazzi's sweet, Major Arcana Tarot deck, a long-ago holiday gift from a friend who knows how much I adore cats!

I had to share these two images with you today for your weekend:

Il Bagatto ("The Magician"): Look at the insouciance of that kitten and the dip of that feathered cap! Menegazzi's Magician has already done some mischief--see the overturned cup!--and looks ready to reach out a paw and sweep everything else to the floor!

Gli Amanti (The Lovers"): Well, maybe you have an equally adventurous sidekick--someone to share the joy--and, if necessary, the consequences?

Don't hesitate to be playful and a little mischievous. Be reasonably careful and attentive, but be confident like The Magician and have some fun this weekend. 

And for all celebrating, Happy Juneteenth!
