Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is to sit still. Take advantage of that new partnership to take the measure of what you are able to do with the assistance without putting that measurement to the test. This way, you will have a better idea of what you are capable of and thus when to ask for help before things get out of control. It is not a sign of weakness to sit still like this. Instead, it is a sign of maturity to refrain from unnecessary action, especially when that action could be used against you.


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.

All readers are invited to leave a comment about what they perceive in the random spread as each person will interact with the cards in their own way.
