Today's Tarot for Toni Braxton
| The Cross and Triangle spread is a powerful means of understanding complex situations, developed by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This spread is rich in occult and mystical symbolism, and one of our favorites here at Facade. The Haindl Tarot weaves a tapestry of haunting beauty from the traditions of Native America, the Holy Grail, the I Ching, Kabbalah and the Norse Runes, and is the deck of choice for mystics and those seeking enlightenment. If you would like your own copy of the Haindl Tarot, you can buy it now! |
 | The first card, the significator, is placed in the center of the cross. This card represents the prime energy manifest in your life. Strength: Inner strength. Love and gentleness. Confidence. Ability to give love. |
 | The second card, placed above the significator, represents Air. It describes your spirit, process of thought, and the influence of reason. Six of Cups (Happiness): Happiness. Loving and being loved. Balance and peace. |
 | The third card, placed to the right of the significator, represents Fire. It describes your motivations, creative energies, and the influence of passion. Alchemy, when reversed: Going to extremes. Excessive behavior. Conserve energy. A person out of control. |
 | The fourth card, placed below the significator, represents Water. It describes your emotions, meditations, and the influence of love. The Devil, when reversed: Resisting temptation. Not a time for sensuality. Fear of one's own decisions. |
 | The fifth card, placed to the left of the significator represents Earth. It describes your physical presence, position in life, and the influence of the material world. The Hanged Man, when reversed: Being overly influenced by outside ideas. Pressure to conform. Demands. Sacrificing something to get passed hang-ups. Lack of purpose. |
 | At this point the cross is complete and the triangle is formed. The sixth card, placed on the bottom left of the triangle represents one of two opposing forces. Ten of Cups (Success), when reversed: Success blocked. Negativity, apathy. |
 | The seventh card, placed on the bottom right of the triangle represents the force that opposes the bottom left card. These forces may be external, but they are frequently one's own inner archetypes in conflict. Daughter of Stones (White Buffalo Woman), when reversed: Difficulty getting across ideas or emotions. Feeling out of place. |
 | The eighth card, the reconciler, is placed below the cross in the third vertex of the triangle. This is the force that will resolve the conflict between the bottom left and bottom right cards. By meditating on this force and bringing more of it into your life, you can bring the matter at hand to a swifter conclusion than would naturally occur. The Universe, when reversed: Stagnation. Lack of willpower and confidence. Self-defined limitations. Resistance or opposition. |
 | The ninth and final card, placed in the center bottom of the triangle, represents the final outcome unless you change course. Three of Stones (Work), when reversed: Work not going well. Unemployment. Laziness. |
