This card displays your obvious identity, the part of you that everyone knows.

VIII – Adjustment

(Libra, Lamed)

In the Thoth deck, the card traditionally known as Justice is renamed Adjustment, reflecting the dynamic nature of balance and the constant recalibration required to maintain harmony. Associated with Lamed, the ox-goad, it represents the guidance and discipline needed to align oneself with universal truth. Libra, the zodiac of balance and fairness, infuses the card with its themes of equity and measured judgement.

The central figure of Adjustment is a serene androgynous figure holding a sword while balancing on their toes, between a balanced pair of scales. The sword symbolises the piercing clarity of truth, while the scales represent the cosmic law of cause and effect. Their poised stance is framed by geometric patterns, emphasising precision and the mathematical order of the universe. Behind them, a brilliant green background evokes the idea of renewal and the living equilibrium of nature.

In Relationships: Adjustment highlights the importance of honesty, fairness, and mutual accountability. It encourages you to communicate openly and seek a balanced dynamic.

In Work: This card suggests success will come through careful analysis, ethical decision-making, and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. It warns against cutting corners or ignoring the consequences of actions.

Spiritually: Adjustment signifies alignment with divine truth and the quest for inner harmony. You are called to reflect on your actions and ensure they are in alignment with your highest principles.

When ill-dignified: Adjustment warns of imbalance, dishonesty, or an inability to take responsibility for one's actions. You are advised to confront uncomfortable truths and restore equilibrium through introspection and accountability.

 

 

 

 

This card shows unconscious driving forces that neither you nor your company is aware of about you. This is the Great Unknown.

XIII – Death

(Scorpio, Nun)

Death represents transformation, endings, and the profound renewal that arises from letting go. Associated with Nun, the fish, this card symbolises the regenerative cycles of life and the eternal flow of existence. Scorpio, the zodiac of intensity and rebirth, infuses the card with themes of metamorphosis and profound emotional depth.

The figure of Death is a skeletal figure wielding a scythe, harvesting the forms of life to make way for growth. Surrounding him are figures dissolving and reforming, emphasising the continual cycle of destruction and creation. Fish swim in the background, symbolising the life force that persists through change. The overall imagery is dynamic and alive, with a swirling interplay of light and shadow reflecting the transformative energy of this card.

In Relationships: Death signifies the end of a relationship or the transformation of its dynamics. It encourages you to release what no longer serves you, allowing space for growth.

In Work: This card indicates a major transition or the end of a phase. You are advised to embrace change and view endings as opportunities for renewal.

Spiritually: Death symbolises the shedding of old identities and the rebirth of the soul. It calls you to embrace transformation and trust in the process of spiritual evolution.

The imagery is vibrant and joyous, as the golden sun blazes in the sky, surrounded by rays of light that fill the scene with warmth and illumination. Beneath it, twin children dance in a fertile landscape, representing innocence, harmony, and the unification of opposites.

IX – The Hermit

(Virgo, Yod)

The Hermit represents the seeker of inner truth and the wisdom gained through solitude and introspection. Associated with Yod, the hand, this card embodies the divine spark of creation and the active quest for enlightenment. Virgo, the zodiac of analysis and service, lends the Hermit its meticulous and introspective energy.

The Hermit is a lone figure cloaked in red, symbolising both the concealment and revelation of profound mysteries. He holds a glowing lantern containing a star, representing the union of opposites and the illumination of divine wisdom. A serpent coils around the cosmic egg, an emblem of transformation and esoteric knowledge. In the foreground, a radiant yellow glow symbolises enlightenment, while the crop around him suggests the fertile soil of the unconscious mind.

In Relationships: The Hermit suggests introspection or solitude. It encourages you to seek clarity and the understanding of your own needs before reengaging with others.

In Work: This card indicates the value of independent effort and the importance of inner guidance. You are encouraged to trust your own wisdom and focus on long-term goals rather than immediate results.

Spiritually: The Hermit represents the solitary journey of self-discovery and pursuit of higher knowledge. It calls you to turn inward and seek truth through meditation and reflection.

When ill-dignified: The Hermit warns of isolation, excessive withdrawal, or a reluctance to share one's insights. You are advised to balance your introspection with meaningful connection and ensure you are not avoiding life's responsibilities.
