On Monday, in my Tarot, Music, and Movies post, I mentioned Christy Talbot, aka Tarot Girl Next Door and her journey to create playlists for each Major Arcana.
Well, she invited me, and others, to help her in this large task. I eagerly jumped to the challenge and am delighted I did. It was fun listening to my favorite songs and some new songs, reflecting on the meaning, images and vibes. Something I will have to do again!
While creating the playlist, I focused on the card's themes of change and progress, forward movement, endings and beginnings, and the image of the wheel itself. I hope you enjoy my take on the Wheel of Fortune. Enjoy!
So here it is - The Playlist Inspired by Tarot's Wheel of Fortune! I'll be playing these over and over again!

Tarot, Music, and Movies
Christy
Talbot, aka Tarot Girl Next Door, recently began putting together playlists for
the Major Arcana, available to view on her blog and YouTube.
Azul
Arco Iris offers Playlist Divination. She intuitively selects songs creating a
playlist based on your reading request, general or specific question. When
complete, the playlist is available for viewing on YouTube. I tried her
service, couldn't resist. The results were amazing!
Making
creative connections to the Tarot can help you remember the key meanings of
the cards, but it can also tune you into your intuitive side. During readings,
you will be more open to the available bursts of short lyrics, images, and
thoughts.
Plus,
it’s fun to make these connections. And once you start, you’ll begin seeing
aspects of life more easily connect back to the cards, adding to your database
of card meanings and impressions.
Take
the court cards for instance. If you continue to have trouble connecting, try
relating them to relatives, celebrities or even characters in your favorite
television shows. This will give you a trigger to start with when doing a reading.
Here
are two examples of such connections.
For me,
Jack Sparrow is the perfect example of the Fool.
- Always ready for a new adventure
- Never has a plan
- Enjoys life
- Never gives up
- Follows his heart’s desire (with the help of his compass, of course)
Keywords
Don’t Turn Around by Ace of Base – Not from the point of view of the figure, but of the cups being left behind, permission to set off on his new journey, assurance that everything will be fine (even if it's a sad moment.)
- Leaving the past behind
- Moving on, not looking back
- A turning point
- Seeking new horizons
- Directing energies in a new direction

Do you use creative connections with the Tarot? Are there certain cards you find difficult? Need a suggestion on a connection?

The Week Ahead - Tea Leaf Forecast
The forecast for the week ahead comes in the form of Tea Leaf Fortune Cards. I purchased this deck at the end of 2011, played with them a little, but never went back. I think the main reason was I tried to do a year forecast and it wasn't so simple. You basically have a lot of cards in the form of predictions made from the art of Tasseography, a form of fortune telling using tea leaves. After you pull the number of cards needed, it’s up to you to group them together to form the accurate predictions.
For the week, we need seven cards in a straight line. Then after looking over them, decide which cards deal with the same issues and form your predictions. Here’s what came up for my week ahead: May 27 – June 2.
After laying them out in a line of seven, I began grouping the cards together. What you see above is what I decided upon.
Mice - discord among friends or family, Skull - hidden secrets can harm you, Vulture - depression, anxiety. Worry that someone is against you.
I felt these three cards grouped together and carried a similar theme. Someone is lying and it's not a harmless lie. It will cause discord among a group. It will be very upsetting to me and cause me grief.
Cane - Pay attention to your health, Dog-Barking - advice from a friend.
These two cards could very likely connect back to those first three cards. I could be so upset about this dishonesty that it causes me to be physically drained and perhaps neglect my health. I should listen closely to advice given by a friend on this situation.
Elephant - a long journey, either physical or mental, will leave you wiser at the end, Mountain - You are on the road to success.
I feel this will be a mental journey, perhaps even a result from the above dispute and the advice given by the friend. This change, this gaining of knowledge, will set me upon the road to success.
Overview - Don't get dragged down by a dispute among friends. Keep moving forward and accept advice from a reliable friend. As your mental journey develops, you will find yourself gaining knowledge and heading down the right road to success.
I'm actually impressed by this outcome, and it wasn't so hard to group them together.
