LOL. I just meant that I'm aware that many Tarotists simply discount any astrological associations for that reason.<br /><br />I tend to use the OGD associations when the deck I am using lends itself to that. If the creator of a deck has a different set of associations, I use those when reading with that deck. Fortunately (for my sanity), very few of my decks contradict the OGD associations.Zanna Starrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421768802438442323.post-36045659819611061652010-11-29T16:25:08.724-05:002010-11-29T16:25:08.724-05:00I didn't mean forced, I just meant, are they a...I didn't mean forced, I just meant, are they all correct or are some associations more correct than others?<br /><br />I think it too an interesting subject, and I think that they compliment each other while each is able to stand alone.<br /><br />It appears that some link the attributions to the 12 signs while others attempt to link them more to the elements.<br /><br />I'm finding reading you post most interesting.Helen A.

I agree with you that astrology and Tarot exist quite successfully on their own. At the same time, I am intrigued by the reasoning and attempts to link the two -- therefore, I enjoy studying it (and I also use it in my readings)!Zanna Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596554739447170460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421768802438442323.post-37562648065281398452010-11-29T03:21:12.704-05:002010-11-29T03:21:12.704-05:00It is interesting to note how there is agreement a...It is interesting to note how there is agreement and then again there is no agreement between different authors as to how astrological attributions are assigned to Tarot. I have always thoughts them separate entities that walk very successfully by themselves but do not necessarily need each other to work, but can walk side by side. Still this non agreement does raise the question of which attribution is correct? Or are they all correct?<br /><br />It does seem to be reasonable that a card like Ace of Cups be assigned those watery signs but as you point out to us although they have water in common they are different. Yet I can see from your description that all these differences can fit the Ace of Cups.<br /><br />Interesting read - thanks!Helen A.
