A friend gifted me with the Kawaii Tarot, so I've been getting to know it. It has a succinct, pithy quality as Zen, peaceful and minimalist as the illustration. The guidebook is clear and simple too - great for a beginning Tarot reader, but feels a little lightweight for more practiced clairvoyants. I've only started exploring it, so time will tell.
In any case it seems to be oddly in your face and to the point for something with such cutesy pictures. It shares a vibe with my Lenormand Tarot deck in that respect.
In any case, that Zen-ness inspired the idea to do a Taijitu layout with them. The taijitu layout was inspired by the yin/yang symbol (the taijitu) combined with a three card pathway Tarot spread. The right side card is "yin" - energies that are moving inward or being drawn toward you. It's the things you are yoinking into your life path right now. The middle card is yang, the energies moving outward, the image you are projecting or things you are (or maybe should be) yeeting off your path. The left card is balance...advice to move forward while creating and keeping your calm.
This deck throws down one word per card. I'll try to put it into some nuanced context - but whatever YOUR reflex response to the word might be - use that. That individual reflex will take this from the realm of a collective energy reading into something much more personalized.
Yin - Five of Swords - "battle" It doesn't feel like current conflict, but rather a risk of setting yourself up for conflict. We are at the end of a gently closing time that was potent for manifestation. This card is a caution to take care of the seeds you sow, take care to lay a good foundation. Don't be combative, but actively prepare for defense or any battle that is unavoidably brought to you.
Yang - page of cups - "introspection" Don't let the peaceful demeanor you give off be mistaken for being a doormat. Dream, but also do.
Balance - Justice - "fairness" As you balance defense and dreaming, planning and actions, be sure to be fair. Get the whole story. Be fair to others, but fair to yourself as well.
Stay tuned for more getting to know you readings with the Kawaii deck. Next up: week ahead tarot tomorrow or Monday afternoon.
Thanks for reading! See you at the next sip!
