Osho Zen Tarot card meaning inner voice. Osho Zen Tarot Arcana II Inner Voice. Features of the Osho Zen Tarot deck

Straight position:
There are times in our lives when too many voices seem to be pulling us in different directions. Our intense confusion in such situations is a reminder to seek silence and centeredness within ourselves. Only then can we hear the truth.

Description of the lasso:
The inner voice speaks not in words, but in the wordless language of the heart. He is like an oracle who speaks only the truth. If he had a face, it would look like the face depicted in the center of this card - alert, cautious and capable of accepting both light and darkness, symbolized by the two hands holding the crystal. The crystal itself represents the clarity that comes from the transgression of all dualities. The inner voice can also be playful as it plunges into emotions and emerges again to soar into the skies like two dolphins dancing in the waters of life. He is associated with the cosmos through the crescent-shaped crown, and the earth, represented by the green leaves on the figure's kimono.

Meaning of the card:
If you have not found the truth within yourself, there is nothing more for you to seek in the whole of existence. Truth works through you. When you open your eyes, it is the truth that opens its eyes. When you close your eyes, it is the truth that closes its eyes. This is an amazing meditation. If you can simply understand the emblem, you won't have to do anything; everything you do has been done in truth. You walk - this is the truth, you sleep - the truth rests, you speak - the truth speaks the truth, you are silent - the truth is silent. This is one of the simplest methods of meditation. Little by little everything is established according to this simple formula, and then this method is not needed. When you are healed, you drop meditation, you drop medicine. Then you live as the truth - alive, radiant, fulfilled, blissful, song within you. Your whole life becomes a prayer without a single word, or better said, prayerfulness, grace, beauty, which does not belong to the vanity of the world, a ray coming from the beyond into the darkness of our world.

Rider White values:

ASTROLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The Moon as a symbol of our “lunar” consciousness, intuition and the power of our subconscious forces.

PRIESTESS.
The priestess personifies our unconscious forces - intuition, premonition, often inexplicable, but quite firm confidence in something. This is the key to that mysterious truth that eludes the logical mind. She knows that the truth that we can express in words is never eternal. Its bright side is an expression of patience, understanding, forbearance, kindness and the ability to forgive, the use of the powers of the subconscious for the benefit of people - for the sake of help, healing, clairvoyance. Her shadow side corresponds to the archetype of the “dark sister” who uses her mental strength to seduce others, lure them into traps, or otherwise harm them. In Tarot, however, its bright, kind side most often stands out. She is considered one of the three "guardian angels" because, according to Christian mythology, the Holy Virgin Virgin can make a person invulnerable.

2 - POPESS
Moon
The second card of the MAJOR ARCANA is the POPESS (another name is the PRIESTESS) or the Female Pope. She is associated with a curious legend about the only woman who ever sat in the papal chair.
It is believed that Pope Joan did this while dressing in men's clothing and was stoned to death when the deception was discovered. This card depicts a seated woman crowned with a tiara emitting moonlight. On her lap is the Torah - or book of the Law (usually opened), and in her left hand are the keys, gold and silver - the secrets to the doctrine. Behind the POPE are two tables with a multi-colored blanket stretched between them. Her throne sits on a checkerboard floor. A figure called Yuno (Divine Wisdom) often replaces the POPE.
Astrologically, the translation of the hidden into the obvious is controlled by the Moon, with which it correlates this map. This is the initially given form that an invisible wave takes in the world, every moment, anew embracing the unity of life.
Connecting the cosmos and humanity, this wave of heavenly will is transmitted through herself by the PRIESTESS, depicted on the SECOND ARCAN OF THE TAROT. On her head are the cow horns of Isis - a characteristic symbol of the Moon. On her knees, the PRIESTESS holds an open book or scroll, in which everything that should be written has already been written down. This ARKAN is also called the “Gate of the Temple”: they allow the cosmic flow to reach the Earth and open up a mysterious path to another existence for those who are thirsty.
Corresponding to the PRIESTESS is inductive reason, associated with the knowledge of the truth within oneself. This is an intuitively true and only movement of the soul that justifies leaving “home” and going out into the world. This exit can be correlated with such concepts as “wealth” that the soul finds in the world, and with the “reward” that it receives by opening to the flow higher powers.
Identifying with this flow and falling with it into the embodied world, the soul is drawn into the cycle of happiness and failure.
The PRIESTESS, who maintains a connection with the highest, symbolizes the immortal maternal principle, which does not allow this endless flow of life to be interrupted.

IN upright position The PRIESTESS card symbolizes intuitive insight into new decisions and understanding of hitherto hidden factors influencing a person and his life (goals, work; hobbies, family). These are also the unconscious influences of your psyche on others and circumstances. It is possible that you yourself somehow, unknowably influence your environment.
You are trying hard to understand the “hidden” meaning of something (an action, an event), and this is fraught with difficulties. And... this is where you should “to spite all deaths” listen to your intuition!

When reversed, the PRIESTESS signals problems resulting from a lack of insight and foresight. It is also superficial knowledge, arrogance and arrogance. For a woman - the impossibility of cooperation with people of the same sex, for a man - rejection of such female character traits as tenderness, gentleness, sentimentality, caring. Another meaning of the card is physiological passion.
“Knock on the gates of the future and they will be open for you. But try to study very carefully the routes of the path along which you are going to go. Remain silent regarding your intentions, so as not to wrest the opposition of people against them, since sometimes even loved ones friends may turn into your envious people."

The High Priestess symbolizes spiritual wisdom, patience, silence, deep knowledge and understanding of things visible and invisible; wisdom of feminine nature, strong intuition. The card means that you are trying to understand the higher meaning of something, looking for hidden factors influencing the situation. Feel free to reveal the secrets of the future, but remain silent regarding your intentions.

Reversed card means: lack of insight, superficial knowledge, arrogance. It can also mean carnal passions.

The Zen Osho Tarot deck was created based on the teachings of Osho. It stands apart from the classic decks and has a special purpose. Let's talk about the features of such cards and how to work with them correctly.

The Osho Zen Tarot Tarot deck was created by the followers of the great Teacher after his death in 1995. The author of drawings for seniors and minor arcana was Ma Deva Padma.

For reference: Osho is a well-known spiritual leader in certain circles who founded his own religious and spiritual movement.

How does Osho’s deck differ from all others:

  • The purpose of any fortune telling is to know the state of a person in this moment time. It is believed that it is the state of affairs “in the moment” that has greatest influence for the future
  • Using this deck you cannot learn about the past or predict the future, but you can get hints. For example, what should you pay attention to? Special attention how to set priorities correctly

If you are a fan of traditional tarot readings, this deck is not for you. But if you need to know yourself and move deeper into spiritual development, the cards will tell you how to do this.

Differences between the Osho deck and the classic ones

Before you start guessing, you need to understand the main differences between the deck and other Tarots.

The differences are as follows:

  • The names of some arcana differ. For example, the Priestess card in the Tarot deck is the Inner Voice, the Empress is Creativity. But most of the names of the arcana still coincide with the traditional ones
  • There is no division of the minor arcana into suits and elements, there is no digital classification. There are no Swords and Cups in Osho's deck, but there are Scepters and Denarii. Instead of the usual Twos, Threes and Aces - Trust, Friendliness, Healing

And finally, the interpretation of cards in fortune-telling layouts is radically different. There is nothing in common with the classical interpretation. Therefore, you should carefully study the decoding of the arcana after purchasing the deck.

How to tell fortunes using Osho Zen Tarot?

Osho's deck is quite unusual. Therefore, if you want to make a layout, you need to know how to do it correctly.

There are several important points:

  • If the goal of fortune telling is to find out the future or reveal the secrets of the past, use another, classic deck. Osho's cards can only tell you about the present
  • The Osho deck is an excellent assistant in spiritual development. Use the cards if you strive for self-knowledge, spiritual growth, want to get to know yourself more deeply, determine the source of your emotions and feelings, and understand how they can affect your life as a whole.
  • Classic layouts are not suitable for this deck. You can use special, modified layout options. For example, "Seven Chakras", "Card of the Day" or "Celtic Cross"
  • You can also use cards for meditation practices

What problems will the Osho deck help solve:

  • Understand relationships with the opposite sex or improve your union with your current partner. Determine what's in your internal state affects personal life
  • It’s better to understand yourself and know the world in all its manifestations
  • Get complete and detailed description personalities
  • Work through karma: find out about the presence of karmic debts that require processing, understand your purpose, etc.
  • Aura diagnostics: cards will indicate problematic chakras and help eliminate energy problems

Osho's deck will not help if you want:

  • Understand financial problems, attract money and prosperity, find new job, learn how to increase capital, etc.
  • Find out the future and options for its development
  • Find out how the trip will end or which country to go to

To summarize: any issues not related to your inner world cannot be worked out using the Osho deck. To do this, use classic Tarot cards.

Layouts

The most popular layouts that are made using this deck:

  1. Relationship breakdown. Helps you understand the essence of your relationship with your partner. This applies not only to love affairs, but also to relationships with parents, children, friends, colleagues and business partners.
  2. "One card" layout. Allows you to assess the problem situation and understand its causes. Gives answers to the most important questions. Answers the question: “What mistakes of yours led to the current circumstances in life?”
  3. "Key". Working with the unconscious. This fortune telling can bring a lot of surprises, because it “reveals” deep psychological problems
  4. "Instant" layout. Considers the situation that worries you from the point of view of Buddhist philosophy. Only one card is used, the value of which will be a complete prediction
  5. "Here and now". It will tell you about the most relevant event for you today. It will help you understand that there are no coincidences. Will indicate what your thoughts and feelings influenced the outcome of affairs

Deck Composition

The Osho deck includes:

  1. Major Arcana: 22 pieces
  2. Minor Arcana (56 pieces) - 4 suits: Fire, Water, Clouds, Rainbow

Each card has its own, unique name.

Let's consider the interpretation of the prediction using the example of deciphering the Awareness card (major arcana):

  • You live at the minimum of your capabilities. Developing and progressing is hampered by mistakes of the past and fears of the future. You do not burn brightly, like a fire, but smoke like a candle that is about to go out.
  • You need to work with your thinking, free yourself from negative thoughts and attitudes, then most of the problems will go away. You will open a flow of positive energy, and life can change dramatically
  • You act relying only on your mind. But you forget to listen to the voice of your soul. Learn to hear yourself inside, to understand the needs not of the brain, but of the consciousness. Develop awareness

Use the Osho deck when you need to understand yourself and own life. If there is chaos and anxiety in your soul, there are a lot of thoughts, questions too, and the answers do not come on their own, magical arcana will help resolve the situation and work with consciousness.

(Osho)

If you feel that you have found harmony within yourself and found the true meaning, then you can only accept the knowledge gained and stop further searches. The truth is inside you, look for it, because it is you, look for yourself. Finding yourself and exploring your inner world is the best meditation. If you can learn this, you will find many answers to your questions and learn what is truly valuable in this life. Everything you do will be true. You will be guided by the truth, and you will be guided by it, which will bring the highest harmony.

The inner voice is so internal that it cannot be heard with the ears - this will be possible only by going deeper into oneself and listening to what the soul says. And she can only tell the truth, the most frank truth. The symbol of truth was transferred to the card in the form of an image of two hands holding a mysterious crystal. This crystal is the most valuable, and the hands are a symbol of both the light side and the dark, carrying a slightly dual meaning. However, this suggests that light and dark forces are always fighting for the human soul, the first, directing true path, the second, trying to confuse and confuse the right path, which a person can only navigate if he has a well-developed inner intuition. This is why self-knowledge is so important.

However, the inner voice can also depend on the emotional background; it either calms down like water at the bottom of the ocean, or rises like a pair of dolphins that soar in the waves of life. The inner voice is connected, of course, with both space and earth, with the first through the crescent-shaped crown, with the second through the green leaves on the figure’s clothes. And almost everyone has this feeling when it’s like inner world pulled in different directions, a feeling of uncertainty and confusion, and here concentration and willpower, the search for silence within oneself, are extremely important.
