Tarot da Vinci interpretation. Leonardo da Vinci Tarot

Job

Here it means that one must, first of all, approach work in a balanced and good-natured manner. What is required is both a friendly, harmonious atmosphere in the group and a normal working rhythm that is not pushed by anyone or anywhere, allowing you to act “with feeling, with sense, with alignment.” Then all tasks that were previously resolved only in the rush and terrible stress can be completed calmly and without stress. Moreover, this does not at all mean laziness, weakness, indifference, and especially hack work. On the contrary: this is the same peace of mind that allows you to act quickly, efficiently and purposefully (cf. Zen instructions in the art of archery).

Consciousness

At the level of consciousness, “The Right Measure” means the harmonious unity of spirit, soul and body. That is, we need, first of all, to come to an agreement with ourselves, to resonate with the Cosmos, to find peace in our souls, to love ourselves - and to forget about careerism and competition, about self-digging and self-criticism over trifles. Having realized and felt this, we will acquire the ability, quite naturally, without any ambition, to restore peace and tranquility around ourselves, to help others find their happiness and serve as a worthy example for them.

Personal relationships and love

A period of peaceful, happy unity of souls, friendship, trust and reciprocity. This is possible only with complete peace of mind. And it, in turn, can be achieved only when the main thing for us becomes not success in the outside world (at work, in politics, etc.), but the subtlety and warmth of relationships with each other, not the ostentatious well-being of the family, but modesty and simplicity within her. This card may also indicate the imminent conclusion of a new acquaintance, a new connection.

Inner meaning

Even if it seems that everything has stopped, events develop according to their own laws and will give results in due time. Don't push them. There is nothing you can do now. The best thing to do is sit back and wait. In fact, this is the only thing that can be done in this situation.

The Lesson of Temperance The Tarot teaches the most important and perhaps the most difficult thing you must learn: patience. There are times in life when it seems like nothing is happening, nothing is moving, you become stagnant and can't change anything.

Moderation Tarot also teaches that you can make good use of the time when you are forced to wait. Think about what you have already done and what remains to be done, study your own needs and motives, and learn to understand.

However, the most important thing is to force yourself to learn how to murmur. In this life we ​​are used to constantly doing something. It's important to know that there are times when you can't or shouldn't do anything more.

Description of the lasso

The image of integration is a mystical unity, a fusion of opposites. This is a time of unification of previously experienced dualities of life. It is not night that opposes day, or darkness that suppresses light, but rather, acting together, they form a single whole, endlessly transforming into each other and containing the deepest core of the opposite.

Straight position

The eagle and swan represent flight and majesty. The eagle is the embodiment of power and loneliness. The swan is the embodiment of space and purity, gently floating, plunging and emerging again and again from the element of emotion, completely satisfied and full of perfection and beauty. We are the union of an eagle and a swan: male and female, fire and water, life and death. The Integration Card is a symbol of self-creation, new life and mystical union, otherwise known as alchemy.

The meaning of the card

Conflict occurs within a person. Until it is allowed there, it cannot be allowed anywhere else. Politics is inside you, between the halves of your mind. There is a very small bridge. If this bridge accidentally breaks due to some physiological defect or something else, the personality becomes split, the personality turns into two - and schizophrenia or split personality sets in. If the bridge is destroyed - and it is very fragile, you become two, you behave like two people. In the morning you are loving and beautiful, in the evening you are angry, you are completely different. You don't remember the morning... How can you remember? Another mind functioned - and the personality turned into two personalities. If this bridge is strengthened so much that the two minds disappear as two and become one, then there is unification, purification. This is exactly what George Gurdjieff called the crystallization of being - when two minds become one and there is a meeting of male and female, yin and yang, right and left, logical and illogical, a meeting of Plato and Aristotle. (Osho)

This card depicts the virtue Temperance as a winged angel dressed in gold who pours liquid from one vessel to another. Thick hair flows over the shoulders of the figure, falling in curls around the attractive face. The meaning of life flows from one vessel to another, symbolizing the flow of the past through the present into the future. The vessels represent abstinence and frugality. Transferring liquid from a vessel held higher in the angel's left hand into a vessel lower in the right hand. At the same time, not a drop of content is spilled - symbolizes great discipline and economy. Behind the angel there are hills and bushes, indicating the unlimited possibilities that can be realized by successfully connecting past and present events. The Angel of Temperance is endowed with restraint and self-control. He is calm and confident in his abilities, able to live with only modest needs appropriate to his position.

Moderation, sometimes Temperance, which is wrong, because this again refers to one of the four most important virtues, according to Aristotle.
The card depicts a woman holding two cups (jugs) in her hands: water pours from one to the other, symbolizing the eternal cycle of energy in the Universe. Hence its name in the Egyptian Tarot: Two Vessels. She has two wings behind her shoulders: this is the Angel of Time, the “Solar Genius”. as they called it in the old days. On the chest there is a decoration in the form of a triangle enclosed in a square: a symbol of the spirit hidden in matter. She is usually depicted standing on the bank of a river or directly on the surface of the water, and she has no shadow.
She (or he) passed through the kingdom of shadows, leaving her body, her shadow, and her past far behind. Now she is concentrating before flying into the future, gathering her strength, which is small, but enough to reach her goal - the kingdom of light and sun. The river in front of which she stands is one of the rivers of the underworld, but not Lethe, the river of oblivion, but the Styx, by whose waters the Greek gods swore. This gives her hope.
The Temperance card is the last card of the second seven, also signifying the end of one life stage and the imminent beginning of the next.

Meaning of the card:
Focus, gather your strength and be merciful to the people around you. You are facing a change in fate, perhaps a long journey. But for now there is a respite. Use it to think again: what will you take with you from the past to the future?
Yes, this card says (in the upright position), now you are having a hard time - and it seems that you don’t have enough strength to reach your goal. But here we need to remember the well-known principle of the “school of survival”: well, at least ten more steps, at least five more, at least one more step! And one more, the very last one. And - look! - so you've reached your goal.
When answering a question about the outcome of a planned business, it promises success only to those who have enough patience and endurance.
In other situations, it may mean successful contacts abroad: trips, business relationships, or even relocation “for permanent residence.”
And, of course, it can have a literal meaning: “nothing too much,” as the ancients said, that is, moderation should be observed in everything (otherwise you will not have enough strength to achieve your goal).

Inverted:
It means that you don’t have enough strength to reach your goal, so it’s better to abandon your plan. Contacts with foreign countries are unsuccessful.
Or - excesses, which are known to be harmful.

For businessmen:
Reversed Moderation - advice to temporarily moderate your appetites, calm down, “freeze” the company and wait three months, if not more.

The androgynous figure on this card symbolizes the reconciliation of opposing principles.

One foot of Temperance is immersed in water, the other is on dry land, indicating the existence of a bridge between soul and body.

Cooperation. Compromise. Temperance.

A woman pouring water from one bowl to another is the image most often found on this card. Usually one bowl is gold and symbolizes our consciousness, and the other is silver and characterizes the unconscious part of our “I”. This image reflects the importance of a constant flow of liquid between the two cups, i.e. the union and mixing of opposites to achieve balance between them. Temperance is a symbol of one of the four moral principles contained in the Major Arcana, along with Justice, Strength and the Hermit.

Symbolism

Moderation indicates balance of feelings and the potential for happy relationships. You experience a strong desire to reconcile opposing forces within yourself and achieve inner harmony. The essence of Temperance is conveyed by the Latin word temperare, which means "to unite in due manner" and is expressed in the symbol of pouring water from one cup to another. The water that represents our emotions stagnates if its flow is stopped. In the same way, we must give vent to our feelings if we want to be in a state of balance. This card often reflects the existence of an internal conflict that must be resolved peacefully. In difficult relationships, one often has to resort to negotiation, compromise, and offers of cooperation, as well as the exchange of thoughts and feelings. In this case, the best strategy is not to rush to extremes, but to “look for a middle ground, showing restraint and patience. The number “14” is associated with this card, which suggests the need to control oneself in order to achieve harmony. The negative meaning of this card is in blocking creative energy as a result of suppressing the emotions that feed it.

Interpretation

This card indicates that you should remain patient, calm and self-controlled in the current situation. You will certainly find a way out that is favorable to you if you maintain restraint and diplomacy in your relationships with other people. Communication and showing kindness and tolerance are at the forefront here, but you also need to take the time to sort out your true feelings. You may have to be careful in showing your emotions. If you stay calm and try not to overreact to other people's words or actions, then you can overcome any difficulties that come your way. Paying attention to feelings as well as facts will help you develop not only objectivity, but also compassion. By exercising moderation in different situations, you can help other people and save your own face.

You are the first Great Thinker, whose magnificence surpasses all worlds, whose mind is the Creator of everything, you support righteousness and a good mind...

Description of the card and its internal meaning

In the boundless space of space, the ocean of divine light spreads out in all its splendor. In its rays you can see the bright Genius. He holds two goblets in his hands, pouring bright liquid from one to the other. The figure of the Angel expresses serenity and calm. It seems that this is where you can take a break from the eternal running in circles in pursuit of earthly goods, this is where the main and missing things that form the basis of our existence are located.

The fourteenth Arcana symbolizes thinking, which can be divided into passive and active. Passive thinking is the process of receiving information and processing it. In a word, this is any process that gives a person knowledge.

Active thinking is any creative activity of the individual. The final stage of thinking is the demonstration of the idea in a certain form. The study of human thinking lies at the heart of the fourteenth Arcana.

The Great Genius of Temperance teaches the most important and most difficult thing to learn - patience. There is a period in the life of each of us when it seems that life has stopped, frozen. At this moment I want to do at least something to make time move. In fact, there is no such thing as absolute stagnation. Something is happening. Moderation speaks of such moments, that there are situations when you should not take any action.

Card meaning

Straight position

According to the interpretation, this card describes a person who has a philosophical attitude towards life. For the Questioner, he can become someone who can “cry into his vest” from time to time.

In addition, the fourteenth Arcana can be interpreted as calmness, patience, optimism, poise, diplomacy. Moderation promises profitable alliances and financial assistance.

Inverted position

In this case, Arkan warns of a tangible victory for competitors, an unsuccessful alliance, and quarrels. In addition, this card predicts impatience, weakness, and the inability to cope with the current situation. “The events in which you find yourself are not subject to either your influence or any other actions or laws. Even with maximum efforts, the situation will not move forward. The best thing for you now is to rely on the will of God and let events take their course ".

As a rule, the appearance of Moderation in a reading means a happy occasion. The angel symbolizes restraint and avoidance of extremes in anything. This is a card of calm, compromise, endurance and choosing the middle path, that is, the ability to adapt and be patient when necessary. The angel pours water from one cup to another, showing how quickly one experience gives way to another. The cups are seemingly contradictory elements of the spiritual and real world, but the picture shows that they are one and the same. This position, as if halfway between two opposites, is also reflected in the way the angel stands. He rests on the ground with one foot, and on the water with the other. Earth represents the visible and practical, water the intuitive and spiritual. The card says that happiness can only be found in proper balance between different aspects of life.

Questions to ask yourself if you draw the Temperance card

• Are you under constant stress?
• Do your life interests conflict with each other?
• Do you need guidance?
• Do you rush from one extreme to another, or are you on solid ground?
• What is effective and efficient in your life? What no longer works?
• Do you maintain a balance between work, rest and entertainment?

Description

A very beautiful card of fantastic light garnet color greets you after you have completed the Arcana “Death”. The color of the card is the result of mixing opposite colors, opposing principles. This is the color of dawn, foreshadowing the sunrise after a long stormy night. The beautiful winged goddess holds two vessels in her hands. Two streams flow from one vessel to another, water and fire, which do not mix with each other.

This time, the winged goddess Isis appeared before us in her other incarnation - as the goddess of the wind, creating it with the flapping of her wings, the goddess of river and sea waters, controlling their flows, and the goddess of magic, capable of connecting the incompatible.

The lasso connects all four elements. The sky-blue wings of Isis are a symbol of Air, her golden dress and one of the vessels symbolize matter (Earth), the blue hair of the goddess and one stream is Water, and the second stream pouring out of the vessels is Fire.

Running water and burning fire, as you know, are things that you can look at endlessly. And the goddess can endlessly pour them from one vessel to another, alternately raising one or the other hand, captivating the gaze and stopping time. There are times in life when it seems like nothing is happening, nothing is moving. We are used to constantly doing something and perceive this state of affairs as stagnation and decline. However, this is a necessary period of rest and waiting, because after putting the dough in the oven, you need to wait until the bread is baked.

The fourteenth Arcanum, one of the names of which is “Time,” teaches that time must pass for the transformation that happened to you in the Arcanum “Death” to bear fruit. It is necessary to properly use the time of peace given to you to study your own needs and motives, to accumulate strength and make plans for the future.

The second name of the card is “Harmony”. The two streams in the vessels of the goddess are fire and water, a typical binary opposition. Opposite, but inextricably linked elements make up our life: heat and cold, movement and rest. It is impossible to appreciate light without knowing darkness, to understand what is good without understanding what is evil. In the hands of Isis, fire and water do not mix with each other, but do not interfere with each other. The Goddess knows how to find harmony between them. Any binary oppositions are points A and B, indicating the beginning and end of the path, and there is always something in between. Thus, between black and white there is the entire spectrum of colors, between birth and death a whole life fits. Harmony as truth is always in the middle, and your task is to find it. The Arcanum "Moderation" teaches you not to rush from one extreme to another, but to calmly seek moderation, balancing the opposites within and around you.

Fire is a test, water is patience. It is impossible to pass the test without patience. The lesson of Temperance teaches the most important and perhaps the hardest thing you must learn: patience. Even if it seems that everything has stopped, know that events are developing according to their own laws and will give results in due time.

Value in the layout

In a straight position

The Arcanum "Moderation" means the renewal of mental and physical strength after getting rid of excessive emotions and impulsive behavior. Stabilization and success in business. Victory in the fight against the vicissitudes of fate. Entering the path of right actions, the proper way of thinking. Adaptation to the existing situation, calmness and balance. It can speak of a fruitful union with a person who is your complete opposite, but the result will be a mutually beneficial addition. Symbolizes improvement, cooperation, cooperation, indicates good health. To achieve your goal, the card recommends being patient, economical and diplomatic. Advises the search for compromises and reasonable housekeeping.

Advice. During the period of this Arcana, you should give up any excesses. Show maximum endurance and patience.

In an inverted position

The card means that getting used to new situations is slow and difficult. Talks about the wrong approach to life and the people around you. About excessive emotionality, short temper, mood swings, unpredictable and unreasonable actions.

May portend a separation or conflict of interest, signify an unsuccessful relationship, hostility. It speaks of haste, due to which something very important was missed, and now you need to go back a step to achieve the desired result. You did a decisive, but wrong thing. Now you expect confrontation, disputes, clashes of interests and an unsettled life

Advice. You, like no one else, need to remember the sayings: if you drive more quietly, you will keep going, measure seven times, cut once, etc.

The lesson of Moderation teaches the most important and... Perhaps the hardest thing you have to learn is patience.

Temperance corresponds to the number fourteen and the Hebrew letter nun.

Allegory

Patience, self-control, willingness to learn mutual understanding.

Description

A winged angel stands at the source of the stream. In some decks, the figure stands with one foot in the water and the other on the shore. An angel can be in male and female form, which is not always possible to distinguish, but it does not matter. Some decks have a crown or halo on or above the head, or some kind of symbolic disc on the forehead.

The angel holds two bowls or two jugs in his hands and pours liquid, presumably water, from one vessel to another. Usually the background is a plain and mountains in the distance. In some decks, a stream (at the angel's feet) flows from the mountains or a crown is barely visible above the mountains.

The use of an angel as a primary figure symbolizes the idea that we are capable of rising to the angelic level if we can learn the lesson of Temperance.

Inner meaning

The Lesson of Temperance teaches the most important and perhaps the most difficult thing you must learn: patience. There are times in life when it seems like nothing is happening, nothing is moving, you become stagnant and can't change anything.

It's not about someone deliberately holding you back. This is a necessary period of waiting, and although everything seems to have stopped, something is happening. Here's a very down-to-earth example: after preparing the dough, placing it on a baking sheet and placing it in the oven, you must wait for the bread to bake. There is no need to pace from corner to corner and upset yourself. It will take time for the bread to bake. While you wait, the bread is baking. The efforts you put in, the things you put into action, will bear fruit. All you need is patience.

Moderation also teaches you that you can make good use of the time you have to wait. Think about what you have already done and what remains to be done, study your own needs and motives, and learn to understand.

However, the most important thing is to force yourself to learn patience. In this life we ​​are used to constantly doing something. It's important to know that there are times when you can't or shouldn't do anything more.

Value in the layout

Direct or positive: patience, compromise, leisurelyness, frugality, moderation, reflection. Diplomacy, impartiality. Reasonable housekeeping; saving. Ability to coordinate actions.

Reversed or negative: separation, lack of harmony. Competing interests; failed alliances (eg, socially unacceptable marriage or partnership). Frustration, impatience.

Even if it seems that everything has stopped, events develop according to their own laws and will give results in due time. Don't push them. There is nothing you can do now. If this card represents the Questioner and you are looking for immediate results, the idea is the same. The best thing to do is sit back and wait. In fact, this is the only thing that can be done in this situation.

Moderation is associated with restraint and transformation, and with finding a middle path between two extremes, which requires being far-sighted and judicious. You may be creating something new by mixing, matching or replacing components that are opposite in nature - these may be indicated by cards located on either side of Temperance. You may be looking for solutions, trying to build bridges between different shores, initiating change, or working to come into harmony with your environment and the circumstances of your life. Here the process is more important than the goal or result; and it may take many tries, checks, trials and errors for the “chemical formula” to come together correctly. To achieve balance (homeostasis) and maintain it, constant adjustments are necessary. The subject of your concerns now may be time frames, temperature, stage of the process or emotional state; you are trying to feel, determine the right time, season, rhythm, step or quantity. These can range from the most mundane tasks, such as cooking, to the most sublime, such as mixing an alchemical elixir.

The angel depicted on the Temperance card can symbolize Divine guidance or your guardian angel guiding you through the process of transformation with patience, forgiveness and compassion. Perhaps in life you will find help and guidance from a source you completely trust. Sometimes it indicates baptism, rebirth or renewal after the total letting go corresponding to the Death card. In the modern system of interpretation, this is the main healing card of the deck, in which healing is comprehensive, holistic in nature and occurs through balancing imbalances and reconciling contradictory ideas. You can relieve tension, provide comfort, restore peace and harmony by maintaining a calm state of mind and a relaxing flow of energy. From this perspective, any stress is a creative challenge, and any mistake is a blessing from above. Perhaps you are now using your entire life to affirm beauty, integrity, strength, and the ability to achieve whatever you want.

For one querent, this card, I remember, meant a financial guarantor, with whose help he managed to improve his affairs in show business. This card is also associated with management, budget calculation or testing of finished products. If you work with a computer, it may mean organizing connections and contacts or helping to merge structures. Moderation encourages the circulation of ideas and energies, balancing emotions with healthy pragmatism.

Traditional meanings: moderation, restraint, adaptation, regulation. Control. Saving, thrift. Combination, unification. Compatibility, adaptation, arrangement. Peace, tranquility, relief, consolation. Abstinence, restraint. Serenity. Caution, prudence. Time and temperature regulation.

Reversed Temperance

Reversed Moderation indicates that something is currently unbalanced, unbalanced, in conflict, or in excess, thereby serving as a source of stress. If this stress is not relieved or mitigated, it can lead to illness. Pay attention to the cards located on either side of Temperance: they will show you what it is that is so difficult or impossible for you to balance. On the other hand, you may feel that others are uncooperative, uncooperative, or that your wants and needs are in conflict. Emotions can get out of control and lead to conflicts and disagreements. Accidents and technical malfunctions are possible, such as water pipe leaks, air conditioner breakdowns, and failure of the control system. Chemical solutions may separate or deteriorate. Energy is dispersed. Creative projects and experiments turn out to be of no practical value, or suddenly it turns out that they take much more time than expected, leading to impatience and frustration. You may lack empathy for others or feel like you have to get everything or nothing in a given situation. You may also be haunted by the feeling that you have “fallen out of flow” or have lost contact with life.

Perhaps you don't want to sacrifice anything or choose one of the available options over another. You may shy away from a particular problem because you lack creative energy or feel insecure. You procrastinate or waste time because you are distracted or hesitant. Reversed Temperance suggests worry, tension and uncertainty. You are behind schedule, your “sound doesn’t match the image,” or you just can’t resolve the situation. Perhaps you are taking things too personally.

When projecting this card onto other people, you see them either as too good, perfect - just angels in the flesh, or intemperate and unceremonious. As an internal quality, moderation presupposes awareness of one’s mental, psychological and physiological state. You may intuitively feel the right combination of elements needed in a given situation, but at the same time you find yourself unable to translate this knowledge into words and convince others of your point of view.

In terms of health, the appearance of this card indicates that the hypothalamus is actively working to restore internal homeostasis, for example, with the help of antibodies that fight infection. Poisoning from spoiled food, indigestion or other digestive disorders may occur, or perhaps you are simply in for a party. Holistic treatments that may be beneficial in this situation include energy healing, laying on of hands, massage, chiropractic, herbal medicine, flower essences, aromatherapy and homeopathy - that is, practices that affect both the physical and subtle bodies.

Shamanically and magically, it is a card of spiritual healing, alchemical transmutation and recovery. It involves the ability to work in two worlds at the same time. It indicates communication with the spirits of places and objects, as well as working with angelic magic. She represents the priest or priestess who performs the sacred rites.

Traditional Reversed Meanings: church, religion, clergy and spiritual practices. Discord, separation. Unworkable, unreasonable combinations. Competition. Conflict of interest. Lack of cooperation. Passive changes. Mood swings. Impatience, frustration. Serious illness. Instability.

Astrological meaning:
Venus as a symbol of harmony and balance.
MODERATION
The meaning of the Temperance card will become clearer if we translate it as “Fair Measure.” It is the positive opposite of the Arcana of the Devil that follows it, symbolizing immoderation. “Moderation” is characterized by such qualities as harmony, balance, good-naturedness and peace of mind. This card corresponds to that happy state when a person feels himself, loves himself and is therefore in harmonious balance with the world around him. If the question concerns health, mental or physical, then Moderation means good health or recovery.

The Leonardo da Vinci Tarot deck was created using the beautiful characters of the great frescoes and paintings of the famous Italian Renaissance artist by Bulgarian artists Yasen Chislev and Atanas Atanassov. The great Leonardo da Vinci is considered the founder of the vibrant High Renaissance style in the history of world art. The early period of the Renaissance in Italy dates back to the first half of the 15th century. The works of Leonardo da Vinci of this era, harmoniously including the entire spectrum of human feelings and relationships, inspired artists to create this amazing deck of Tarot cards. Leonardo da Vinci, through the power of art, learned the strength and power of the human mind, the secrets of nature and the laws of beauty. Leonardo da Vinci unshakably believed in the beauty of a simple earthly person, in whose image he not only fully revealed his character and feelings, but also which was for him a means of understanding the world. That is why the artistic images of Leonardo da Vinci from his beautiful canvases and frescoes were able to serve as an excellent basis for artists for a series of Tarot cards.

Tarot Leonardo da Vinci Major Arcana

An outstanding sculptor and painter, a brilliant architect and art theorist, Leonardo considered man to be the most perfect creation of nature. The works of the great master, full of life and light, depict real people with their complex spiritual world and life experiences. It was believed that although Leonardo da Vinci himself never drew cards for games and fortune-telling, even if he was not at one time keen on the “game of trump cards,” as the card game was called in Italy, he certainly took part in it. This game of 78 elegantly designed Tarot cards captured all the homes of the Milanese nobility at that time. Many famous "Milanese Tarot" cards in the 15th century were created by court artists in connection with significant dates of noble aristocrats. On our website you can get acquainted with the Tarot of those years - with magnificent ones.

Leonardo da Vinci possessed many of the character qualities necessary for a visionary to explore his own life and soul, as evidenced by his pragmatism and perseverance, his observation and desire to break out of old dogmas, his deep insight and understanding of the soul, his professionalism and flexibility . Leonardo da Vinci distrusted hypotheses and devoted his life to exploring new paths. As Kathleen Matthews notes in the book “Tarot Cards of Leonardo da Vinci,” Leonardo da Vinci himself turned to predictions, as his business records say: “paid 6 soldi for predicting the future” - “perdirelaventure: 6 soldi.” Leonardo da Vinci's Tarot combines his endless skill and the inquisitive mind of a genius.

The cards in this deck are an attempt to present the book of life, painted on canvas by a master, as a portable art gallery and a fortuneteller's tool to control one's destiny, allowing one to carefully examine the circumstances of the present and prepare for the future. The images on Leonardo da Vinci's Tarot cards reflected the diverse interests of Maestro da Vinci. Many of them are more intuitive and reflect the inner world of the artist, who draws with inspiration for himself, and not for the public or not to order. The artist loved solitude and was quite secretive, which in those years was not surprising and allowed the artist to work for a long time and fruitfully.

In January 2005, in Florence, during the restoration of the monastery of St. Annunziata, a secret room full of frescoes was discovered, which turned out to be the lost studio of Leonardo da Vinci. The surprise and joy of the discovery was enhanced by the fact that this incredible discovery happened at the height of the popularity of Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code. It is known that Leonardo considered “lies” and despised what he considered necromancy and alchemy. He was much more attracted to space than to the esoteric hobbies of the aristocracy of that time; the name Leonardo in this regard, among the hypotheses of that century, stands apart, fascinated much more by science than by the Holy Grail or the secrets of the Templars. Leonardo himself wrote: “It is very simple to become universal.”

Leonardo da Vinci was endowed with diverse talents, which he showed in many fields of knowledge. A polymath and artist, sculptor and musician, he was also a hydraulic engineer and mathematician, an original philosopher and thinker, as well as a theoretical scientist, inventor and natural scientist, a true man of the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci considered scientific experience to be the source of inspiration and considered himself as a discepolode H'espirienza - “a student of experience.” In a world of people turning to scientific knowledge to explain the mysteries of nature to improve human life, one can only admire the prophetic vision of “things that must appear” of the brilliant artist Leonardo.

“Leonardo da Vinci” – layout, fortune telling online using Egyptian Tarot cards is intended to study the aspirations and capabilities of a person in a situation or issue of interest to him. The layout got its name in honor of the scientist and artist Leonardo da Vinci and his famous drawing “The Vitruvian Man”, depicting the proportions of the human body.

If you compare the layout diagram with the drawing of the great master, then the symbolism of fortune telling by “Leonardo da Vinci” immediately becomes visible: the circle personifies a certain ideal, consisting of the possibilities, goals and highest meaning of the fortuneteller, and the square symbolizes reality, the actual position of the questioner.

The Leonardo da Vinci layout cards are divided into three groups:

Question– Card No. 1, which shows the main meaning of the question posed - the aspect realized by the person. Card No. 9, also showing the main meaning of the question posed, but the aspect is unconscious.

Basis– Card No. 4, indicating the main soil and basis on which the fortuneteller stands. Card No. 7 shows the necessary action with which it is possible to strengthen the existing basis. Card No. 8 suggests that, first of all, the fortuneteller needs to know and understand in order to strengthen the existing basis.

Target– Card No. 2 indicates a realistically achievable goal. Card number 5 speaks of the highest meaning of this goal. Card number 3 reveals the hopes and fears of the fortuneteller. Card No. 6 warns of possible unexpected and unforeseen factors.

Interpretation of cards, dropped out in the Leonardo da Vinci layout, you should start from the first and ninth positions. The main goal of this analysis is to find out whether the conscious aspirations of the fortuneteller coincide or not with his internal needs. If these cards do not combine well, it means that the unconscious, the subconscious will most likely prevail over the conscious intention (card No. 1).

Then you need to analyze how the situation as a whole is (card No. 4) and determine what needs to be done (card No. 7) or understood (card No. 8) to strengthen your basis. If card number 4 is positive and says that everything is going well, then there is no need to analyze cards number 7 and 8. They may not be given much importance.

Then you can move on to card No. 3, which will show what the fortuneteller is counting on or what he is afraid of. According to card No. 6, you should see if any unexpected factors appear, which can be either neutral or make things easier or more difficult.

At the final stage of interpretation, one should find out what the achievable goal is and whether it has a higher meaning. These two cards will clearly show what a person can really achieve (position No. 2), and whether it is worth pursuing from the point of view of higher meaning (position No. 5). It should be remembered here that card No. 5 is more significant. If any card with a dubious meaning falls out in this position, then it can be interpreted as a warning, or as advice to change your goals and plans.

“Tarot World of Leonardo da Vinci”, published in 2001, was created by two Bulgarian artists: Yasen Chislev and Atanas A. Atanassov. The first, the author of the Tarot of the Third Millennium, created illustrations for the Major Arcana, and the second, the author of the Bosch Tarot and the Klimt Tarot, for the Minor Arcana. Both artists took inspiration from the works and ideas of Leonardo da Vinci and created a deck in which the central figure is a person, and emotions and meanings are conveyed through body language.

From Da Vinci's drawings to tarot cards

Arcana "Tarot World of Leonardo da Vinci" is the result of careful research and study by the authors of the rich artistic heritage of the Italian master. Convinced that many of his works contained esoteric secrets that da Vinci himself was able to comprehend, Chislev and Atanassov used the artist’s paintings in the illustrations of the Arcana, filling them with the symbolism of the Tarot. Thus, this deck combines artistic excellence with symbolic content that harkens back to the traditional meanings of the Tarot (for example, the portrait of Gioconda is depicted on the High Priestess card, complete with a miter) and explores all aspects of the human being. Indeed, whether man or woman, young or old, all these figures contain a deep meaning that the cartomancer can comprehend by interpreting the language of their bodies in a physical, psychological and spiritual sense.

Interpretation of body language

A cartomator who wishes to use the Tarot World of Leonardo da Vinci in divination can interpret it based on the traditional meanings that this deck follows. However, it reveals even more possibilities to those who know how to search: using the technique of Intuitive Interpretation, you can not only interpret the Arcana, but also reveal the deep meanings embedded in them. In fact, the faithful reproduction of da Vinci's style in the illustrations allows the cartomancer to carefully examine the anatomy of all the figures that appear on the cards: each character tells about his state of mind, his thoughts and his story not through the actions he performs (many figures are depicted in a static position) , but by facial expression, body language and body language. By focusing on these aspects, the cartomancer can read the person's story in each Arcana, feel the emotions and receive instructions that can help him in the interpretation process.

For beginners

"Tarot World of Leonardo da Vinci" can be used by both beginners and experienced card readers. Static images (people who are either sitting in some position, or using certain gestures, or performing everyday actions) will help the cartomancer and the Querent develop a contemplative, calm and sensitive attitude to the recommendations of the Arcana. A beginner cartomator must completely trust the traditional meanings and follow his intuition.

For master cartographers

An experienced cartomancer seeking a deeper approach to the Tarot World of Leonardo da Vinci must combine traditional meanings with meanings derived from analysis of the characters' faces and bodies. Such research will allow him to decipher the symbols and allegories hidden in the Arcana.

Analysis of the two minor arcana

In interpreting the Arcana of the Tarot World of Leonardo da Vinci, deciphering the symbols embedded in each of them will help. The cartomator can do this work gradually as he studies the deck and gains a deeper understanding of its contents.

Below are two examples of how to carry out such decoding of symbols using associative series. Eight of Pentacles. Four disks of Pentacles are suspended on the tree - a symbol of prosperity, the other four disks hang vertically above the head of a sitting dog and in a metaphorical sense mean wealth coming to naught. Since a dog is considered a symbol of fidelity, prosperity is obviously compensation for this attitude. The dog must be faithful to the woman who sits under the tree and points her finger at the dog. Following this interpretation, the Eight of Pentacles can be interpreted as loyalty rewarded or loyalty that needs to be rewarded. In any case, for a deeper understanding of the meaning of the Arcanum, it is necessary to ask yourself the question of what is the relationship between two subjects (dog and man): which of them symbolizes the Querent and who is personified by the other subject, the Three of Cups. A woman shows a bunch of herbs to a kneeling child. The woman symbolizes an adult who gives advice, guidance or assistance to a younger and less experienced person. Herbs can be a symbol of treatment for some illness (both physical and mental) or indicate the Querent's knowledge of nature (or, metaphorically, his environment).

This layout is named after Leonardo da Vinci, as it goes back to his drawing depicting the Vitruvian Man. The circle and square in this picture symbolize the ideal (circle) and reality (square). It turns out to be a good basis for a layout showing what the actual situation of the questioner is (square), and what his goals, capabilities and higher meaning are (circle).

Interpretation of card meanings
Consider first cards 1 and 9 to find out whether conscious aspirations coincide with inner needs. If these cards do not combine well, it should be borne in mind that the unconscious internal attraction (police 9) is likely to prevail over the conscious intention (position 1). Then check how things are going overall (item 4) and what else needs to be done (item 7) or understood (item 8) to strengthen the basis. If card 4 already shows that things are going well, then cards 7 and 8 may not be given much importance. Next, card 3 will show what the questioner is counting on or what he is afraid of, and then card 6 should be checked to see if any unexpected factors will appear - they may be neutral, but they can also facilitate, speed up, or slow down and complicate the matter. Finally, find out what the achievable goal is (card 2) and whether it has a higher meaning (card 5). Both of these cards show very clearly what a person can truly achieve (position 2), and whether it is worth pursuing from a higher point of view (position 5). Card 5 is, of course, more significant. If any dubious card falls into this position, then it can be interpreted as a warning - and as advice to reconsider your plans and goals.
