The 4 the layer, the physical world, offers a piece of practical action: use Death's bow to kill off both shame & shoulds, then lean into Shadow work.

The 3rd realm, the Design, suggests what structures I need to make theses higher influences manifest: Justice gestures towards Time, indicating now the the moment to re-awaken those habits & schedules that create space for inner development practice.

Use saffron in your cooking. Or try making a nice fruit centerpiece of oranges, lemons, & grapefruits.

If you like stones, carry citrine, amber or yellow diamond for 3 days. Wear gold, if it flatters you.

Light a candle, sort the trumps out from your fave deck & shuffle them 6 times. Search through for the Sun card.

Shuffle the remaining trumps 3 times & count 6 again. Select that 6th card & set it down.

I love reading for clients with the Minchiate! It's a great deck for people interested in astrology too. And, if you use tarot for workings, it's absolutely the best.

It seems to work very much like very early Twitter, when most of the features had yet to arrive.

Hashtags don't quite fully work yet, for example.
