Comparative Tarot

4 of Poetry - Harmony: The image shows a man and a woman standing on a shore with their hands clasped and their eyes raised to the sky as though in prayer. A pair of swans glides by on the water. Flamingos are visible in the distance. Above their heads a rainbow flows down from the sky.

The Book Says: This is a traditional card of marriage, of celebration and thanksgiving for life. It may signify a time of holiday (holy day) during which to ritualize or formally recognize the joy and bounty granted to you. There is a sense of completion at this time, a recognition of things being right, of common effort and shared appreciation, of good energy flowing towards a worthy cause.

Bee's Buzz: This card symbolizes that it's time to stop and smell the roses. Now is the time to celebrate and give thanks for all the gifts you've received as a result of your efforts and labors. Take a moment to reflect on your life and all the things you appreciate and love. Share your appreciation and love with those around you and with whatever higher power you may honor. I like the sense that the rainbow is bringing divine blessings onto this couple. They have traveled their path, done their homework and now they are being blessed. The swans suggest a sense of peace and harmony, the glide along silent and focused on their own road. The image on this card abounds with color and energy, the divine spirit letting its influence be felt and appreciated. Once again I get a sense of pausing to appreciate the benefits of one's labor, taking an opportunity to catch your breath and revel in the work you've done and the success you've achieved. But none of this should be done alone. The couple and the pair of swans are together for a reason. We should always try to share our joys (and our sorrows) with others who can appreciate them with us.
