Toni Gilbert replied to Mary M. Nale's discussion 'Five of Cups - Astrological Associations (by Zanna)' in the group Tarot and Astrology"Probably not helpful for the beginner. Applying the astrological archetypes to the cards and working with them in that way is advanced. The beginner should just know about it and keep studying and someday the lights will come on...or not. You…"
Toni Gilbert replied to Mary M. Nale's discussion 'Five of Cups - Astrological Associations (by Zanna)' in the group Tarot and Astrology"Hi John, It is an interpretive art which means that you intellectually know the archetypes or traits of astrology and apply them to a situation at hand, based upon your own experience and intuitive hunch at the time of the reading. If the cards…"
Toni Gilbert replied to Mary M. Nale's discussion 'Five of Cups - Astrological Associations (by Zanna)' in the group Tarot and Astrology"Hi Anna and Mary, As I read through the blog, I couldn't help but associate the 5 of cups with Pisces/Neptune because of the depth of illusion that comes with the sign/planet. A sudden shift and a time of disappointment when one sees passed the…"
Toni Gilbert replied to John Ballantrae's discussion 'Mary asked a couple of questions' in the group Tarot and Astrology"John, I think you are doing something different with astrology than I am. So, there really isn't any where to go with this discussion unless one of us wanted to go with the other. I am happy with the way I do things and think my way makes a…"
Toni Gilbert replied to John Ballantrae's discussion 'Mary asked a couple of questions' in the group Tarot and Astrology"John, I don't know where to go from here. It doesn't seem like we are getting anywhere. I find great satisfaction in Tarot and astrology but then, I understand and can use the archetypes. I don't see either modality as a tool that can…"
Toni Gilbert replied to John Ballantrae's discussion 'Mary asked a couple of questions' in the group Tarot and Astrology"John, I thought of a good book that will give you an idea about how archetypes work:
Pluto: A new look at an old devil by Liz Greene
You will understand a lot more after you understand what the planets and etc stand for symbolically. Be well, Toni"
Toni Gilbert replied to John Ballantrae's discussion 'Mary asked a couple of questions' in the group Tarot and Astrology"John, You are being too static in your thinking. If you use Tarot and astrology like an interpretive art then, yes they are dynamic and changeable. When you have an astrological assignment to the card, you do not have to use it if it has no…"
Toni Gilbert replied to Mary M. Nale's discussion 'A simple Spread to interpret dreams.' in the group Tarot and Dream Interpretation"Mary, I didn't remember my dream last night but my husband woke up with some strong images. Sooooo, I took advantage of the situation to use the cards and the layout that you suggested. Worked like a charm. Added a dimension to the dream that…"
Toni Gilbert replied to John Ballantrae's discussion 'Mary asked a couple of questions' in the group Tarot and Astrology"John, Both modalities use the archetypes. If you know astrology, you can "assign" an astrological archetype to individual cards that fit nicely with the archetype on the card. Some deck's authors have already done that for you.…"
Toni Gilbert replied to John Ballantrae's discussion 'Mary asked a couple of questions' in the group Tarot and Astrology"If you study astrology, you can assign astrological associations to Tarot cards. You must know the archetypes of astrology to make the connection to the archetypes on the cards. Toni G"

Dream interpretation
Hi Mary, Interesting subject. Might have to join you. The first thing I noticed about Tarot was how it reflected the issue at hand through its images. I then read a research dissertation that attempted to show that the symbolic material in your dream would also show up in the layout. After that, whenever I do a layout, I think of how the symbolic information is coming from your unconscious mind...like dreams. And so, I read any layout as if it is a dream.Are suggesting something different? toniSee More

- Hi Anna, I didn't know you were here, but then I didn't know anything about this. Just thought I would explore and see what others are doing. I have been intensely involved in raising grandchildren until about a year ago. Two of them are in school now. I can finally get back to doing some things that have been neglected...writing mostly...blog and articles...book out in the fall. Facebook was my first venture out. Kept seeing TG there. Beautiful site...would like to know more....Thanks mar for the welcome. Lovely imagery. Toni
