Death and The Emperor

Death The EmperorThese cards make a strong pairing. It is a popular misconception that the Death card normally means the death of a person. More generally it is representative of changes and the ending of cycles. When something comes to an end it means that a new beginning will ultimately follow. When this occurs then the Emperor is invoked to add his guiding light to the situation. He is a force for good in a rapidly changing environment and helps by wielding his power and authority to provide a stable back ground to any new or challenging situation. This is so that any new cycle ushered in by Death can move confidently forward towards its end goal. More about Death and The Emperor.

Temperance and The Pope/Hierophant

Temperance The Pope These cards make an excellent pair for guidance and wisdom. Temperance is exactly as it sounds a tempering of a situation or circumstance. However on a deeper level it is symbolic of skillfully mastering difficult situations and helping to restore balance from discord. When the rituals and routines are brought along by the Hierophant, Temperance casts her spell. This is to ensure that any wisdom gained from the Hierophant is tempered. As the advice from the Hierophant tends to be informative and wise, the information gleaned from a combination of these cards can be even better. They act as two good councillors whose advice is both magnified and tempered by each other. More about Temperance and The Pope.

The Devil and The Lovers

The Devil The LoversThese cards make for an intense combination. The devil is one of the most misunderstood cards in the pack. He is not really symbolic of having the devil as in influence around a person. Indeed if the devil in a traditional pack is closely observed, this card is not really the devil at all. In fact he is a creature that is half god and half goat; he is Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. The godly side of him brings out the deepest of desires and passions whereas the beast in him serves to enslave. However when the Lovers are added to the mix they add a whole new dimension as a pair. The Lovers strip away at the constraints and barriers created by the Devil to bring out his much more positive traits. Desires become clearer, love becomes deeper and passion that may have become a prison is yet again restored to passion. The Lovers bring their clarity of thought and deep and meaningful insights to help quell the negativity and draw out the beauty locked within the beast. More about The Devil and The Lovers.

These two positioned together are indicative of balance. More about The Tower and The Chariot.
