9 of Disks - Not a damsel in distress


“I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man. I've just done what I damn well wanted to, and I've made enough money to support myself, and ain't afraid of being alone.” ― Katharine Hepburn 

For the 9 of Disks (Venus in Virgo), I went with rather traditional imagery, minus the bird of prey. I wanted to show abundance but also someone in the process of achieving it. The young lady is preparing a meal in her kitchen. For someone doing the cooking, she's wearing quite fanciful clothes - as if to make the point that every day is a feast.

10 of Cups - Communion



“In the end we shall have had enough of cynicism, skepticism and humbug, and we shall want to live more musically.” ― Vincent van Gogh


For the 10 of Cups (Mars in Pisces), I have chosen communion as the theme. This card can represent family, both in a physical and spiritual sense. Having Mars in Pisces myself and being very familiar with this energy from a life force point of view, communion seemed an obvious choice rather than traditional 'happy family' scene portrayed in Rider Waite style decks.
