Pluto & the Tarot
Pluto rules Scorpio – transformation, death, regeneration.
Thus the two cards…

The Hanged Man – tarot card of Pluto. Helps us learn about sacrifice, suffering and endurance…also about how to reframe & transform the current situation for the better. Smiling at the shadow. There is no death. Only transformation.

Death – tarot card of Scorpio. Death is an Adventure. A transition from here to there…some things fall away, their work completed. From this comes new realities, new actions, the new era.

Temperance – a Venus card – stabilzing oneself within all the changes & vicissitudes of life – Temperance.
