Your Chosen Card – The Sun Reversed Rider Waite Deck

When reversed, the Sun is still a positive card but presumably to a lesser degree. It may be that something is blocking you from fully experiencing the joy and clarity that is possible at this time. Perhaps your inflated ego is getting in the way; excessive pride is one of the faults of the sign Leo. You may not get the standing ovation you were hoping for.

Myths/Archetypes: The Egyptian god Amun-Ra. The Sun god. Apollo. Logos.
Astrology: the Sun (ruler of the Fire sign Leo)
Numerology: 1 (Magician) = 1 + 0 (Wheel of Fortune) = 1 + 9 (the Sun)

Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: The eccentric and brilliant occultist Aleister Crowley (whom the press called ‘the worst man in the world’) also broke with the Golden Dawn. 12 Toward the end of his life, Crowley decided to produce a tarot deck that reflected his years of study and practice of esotericism. Enlisting the aid of the artist Lady Freida Harris, Crowley collaborated with her from 1938 to 1943 to transform his ideas into reality. He wrote a companion book for the deck called The Book of Thoth to explain the intricate symbolism of the cards. Crowley’s encyclopaedic knowledge of occult disciplines is reflected in Lady Harris’s paintings; the Thoth deck has become a favorite among scholarly occultists who enjoy the philosophy, mythology, occultism, and metaphysics underlying this magnum opus.
