"Hyperallergic 's tarotscope series is a combination of tarot with astrology, a reading for the collective readership combined with cards for the major astrological signs, grouped by their elemental associations. These are developed by AX Mina, a Hyperallergic contributor and producer for Five and Nine, a podcast about magic, work, and economic justice. These tarotscopes have a special focus on the arts and creative practice, for each solstice and equinox, to mark the turning of the seasons."
"Today, with the abundance of artificial light, it can come and go with little notice. In San Francisco, where this reading was conducted, power outages have affected more than 10,000 people, a reminder of how delicate our systems of light really are. Rain fell during the solstice, and I found myself stuck on the train for an unexpected amount of time, unable to cross the Bay."
"This season's tarotscope, as with most of ours, is read using the Mixed Signals Tarot, designed by artist M Eilo, on the tarot platform Moonlight. The cards were drawn in the midst of the Winter Solstice, in this 12th month of the Hermit Year (in the tarot system) and the final months of the Snake Year (in the East Asian lunar system)."
A tarotscope series combines tarot with astrology to offer collective readings and card draws for major astrological signs grouped by elemental associations. The series emphasizes arts and creative practice timed to solstices and equinoxes. A winter solstice reading in San Francisco highlighted recent power outages, rain delays, and a striking winter night sky, emphasizing fragility of artificial light. Cards were drawn during the Winter Solstice in the tarot system’s Hermit Year and the East Asian lunar Snake Year. A Thaw spread addresses why many have felt frozen, identifies initial signs of thaw, and provides elemental guides for navigating winter transitions.
