For all the strangeness in how you will win the day, the true test of your resilience will come after you have claimed your victory. You see, it’s one thing to take the day, it’s another thing entirely to keep it. And how you defend what is rightfully yours will be the test of your inner strength. Just because you are able to hold your own in a dirty brawl in the alley doesn’t mean that should be the means you use to win.


The Universal Tarot of Marseille is primarily based on a Swiss deck created in 1751 by by Claude Burdel. The pips have color backgrounds to assist readers with distinguishing suite and the majors have had the lines refined and color backgrounds added to soften the overall look. The Universal Tarot of Marseille is ©Lo Scarabeo.
