Probable outcome.
Tarot of the New Vision and Cosmic Tarot
…..versus……..
Final Outcome
If you are using a Celtic layout where you have a position that defines the probable outcome which is the Crowning position. This card position varies with Readers, I use position 5 as the Crowning position and it is right above card #1.
What does probable outcome mean anyways? Is it a choice or alternate path?
Looking at the Tower card, it doesn’t appear too promising however the Tower card has many positive aspects to it. In the Tarot of the New Vision tower card, which is a really unique deck to study, the characters are falling from the tower that has been hit by a lightning bolt. This is mainstream for this card. The crown representing the ego, is knocked off. In the front of the card is the Tree of Life representing knowledge. The Cosmic Tarot is similar in image except that you can’t help but notice the eye in the right hand corner of the card. Perhaps the eye of “God”, your “God”, “the god within You“.
What is the significance of the Tower in the crowning position?
Of course, a rude awakening. The cards traditional meaning is one of destruction, collapse of structure (thinking), or a sudden jolt of experience that was not anticipated.
At first when I saw this card, I became troubled by it but as I studied card 6, the immediate future spot I had an extremely positive card. Can the manifestation of the Tower card be avoided? If it an a probable outcome, then it is possible. I think that the probable outcome happens anyways and so does the final outcome. Card 6 leads to the probable outcome.
How you handle card 6 is indicative of how you get through the crowning cards and in this case it is the Tower card.
The last, or final outcome card is the Ace of Cups, always a welcome card. It points to new beginnings. Being it is a cup, the new experience is on an emotional level. Getting excited about something again. A re-birthing of feelings and that is good.
In order to greet the Ace of Cups, the Tower must be lived through. It could be a riveting experience.
The Tower paves the way, for the Ace of Cups. Old and negative thought patterns must be eliminated. How can you honestly feel a new positive emotion, for example- happiness or love if you have shadows of negative mixed in with it.
There is definitely some dramatic and profound change coming.
Card 6 is of the utmost importance how you handle the Tower which will inevitably lead to the wonderful Ace of Cups.
#17 The Stars according to the Tarot of the New Vision.
I love this image. The Star means different things to different readers. To me, it represents Astrological cycles. It suggests faith & hope and not to give up on something that you are wishing for. To be totally honest with yourself (naked woman). To know that you are being watched over by other beings in the Universe and protected.
The clue is in this card- trust, ritual of belief! By trusting that whatever the situation will be that is pending is a necessary purging (tower) to some healthy emotions – reconnecting with the childlike wonder of happiness.
outcomes.
I don’t really like doing spreads with an outcome position.
I’d prefer to leave it out. but so far w CC spread I have always included it. but it’s more the near future/what’s approaching that I pay more attention to than the outcome.
Hi Kitty,
Thanks for your comment.
If you do the Celtic Cross and you like that layout, you could try a shorter version and get the same core information.
All you do is not include cards 7-10 (the staff)
And if you need clarification on any of the cards 1 through 6, just draw a card and factor it into the meaning of the card that you need more info on.
I have found that the Outcome card does change by the way we handle current -near future situations. Unless of course the Outcome card is as I like to call it- an act of God (whatever God means to you)
thanks Seaqueen.
