Before I get started I want to make a note that I've decided to make a small adjustment to what I originally planned to do with this series of weekly posts related to zodiac and tarot of the week/period related to the card. I am going to add aspects of both the major arcana card that relates to the whole zodiac sign and the minor arcana card that relates to the card.
That being said, lets get started.
This week's deck: Revelations Tarot by Zach Wong (Please note that this deck pictures both the upright and reverse images, so it looks different from many traditional decks)
Zodiac sign: Capricorn
Major Arcana card: The Devil
Minor Arcana card: 3 of Pentacles
Dates: January 1-9
Capricorn
Elemental: Earth (Grounded, worldly, money/financial aspects, stubborn, responsibility, long term planning, seeks harmony)
Ruler: Saturn (represents restrictions of all kinds and makes Capricorns practical, and responsible, but also cold, distant, prone to feeling guilt, tend to run away.)
Symbol: Ram (Goat with the tail of a fish to face fear and create panic. It's the sign of decisions made to face your inner demons, lives and physical surroundings. They are brave enough to never run away but constantly afraid of their inner demons.)
Traits: (Strengths)traditional, serious by nature, responsible, disciplined, self control, good managers. (Weaknesses) Know-it-all, condescending, expecting the worst. (Likes) Family, tradition, music, understated status, quality craftsmanship. (Dislikes) Almost everything at some point.

3 of Pentacles
Elemental: Earth (Grounded, worldly, money/financial aspects, stubborn, responsibility, long term planning, seeks harmony)
Imagery: (Based on Rider Waite decks) Craftsman standing before 2 architects, mallet and chisel in hand, creating/crafting a cathedral. This insinuates that the crafter is essential to cathedrals completion and the architects want to ensure that everyone is on the same page. In the deck being used today, the man holding the mallet and chisel is working hard to craft the pentacles, happy and proud of the last details of the job he's completing.
Message/Traits: Skills, Learning, Apprenticeship. Skills that have learned will be put to good use. Act of creation will be reward enough for you. All efforts will be rewarded. Card foretells investment in labour needed to reach a goal, push past comfort for a new level of connection. Could be planning or conferring .
The Devil
Elemental: Earth (Grounded, worldly, money/financial aspects, stubborn, responsibility, long term planning, seeks harmony)
Imagery: (Based on Rider Waite cards) Goat or midevil christian devil with horns, hooves, pitchfork. Two small humans, one male and one female; sitting at feet, bound by loose chains that are easily escaped from. (Based on today's deck) A human-like male with horns and dragon-like wings perches himself, resting arms on a wreath filled with coins, a male and female human-like figures loosely chained to the wreath. A small building shadowed in flames in the background.
Message/traits: Despite the forlorn look of the devil, it is not necessarily a negative card. Much like the traits of the planet Saturn that rules Capricorn, the chains symbolize bo***ge that one can easily overcome if they put effort into dealing with their own inner demons. The card grounds itself to the earth and fuels lust and desires that can be satisfied by the flesh. It can warn of money overtaking one. The items that money can bring this person can bring satisfaction to him/her. It can also warn of being too driven by ultimate goal of profit (wealth or stature).
These are not always set characteristics that set who you are in stone, and as always, this may not resonate with you. If they do, and you want a reading, as always, you can book using the book now link on the main page or by contacting me directly.
