Trump Cards

The Hanged Man has turned up twice in four days. It represents an affirmation of exploration and unconventional approaches.

The Hanged Man is the card of paradox, sacrifice and surrender. It’s rife with the sort of delicious contradictions we often hear from sages and saints. He who saves his life will lose it, but he who loses his life will save it.

We think of the Wheel of Fortune as representing change and cycles, but this morning it set me pondering the stillness at the center.

The Lovers is the second of the acolyte cards in a row, after yesterday’s Devil card.
