I put some tarot cards there. I show you the meaning now. The first 3 cards are suppose to be lucky for me and the rest are dominant.

The Hermit

Positive:
The Hermit represents the need to slow down and absorb more of a peaceful and quite life. The Hermit finds his knowledge and wisdom through exploration of the self rather then the physical world around him. The Hermit separates himself from the more superficial aspects of life in order to find true self-awareness. The Hermit does not just experience life but he uses that experience to understand why things are the way they are. The Hermit is about learning of the self and the motivations behind his own personal actions and thinking. The Hermit represents a more meditative state of mind, one in which focus of ones purpose is of central importance. The Hermit is more self-centered so he can become more aware of any negative patterns or cycles he is repeating in hopes of alleviating them for the good of everyone.

Negative:
When this card is reversed is represents being overly stagnant and a refusal to accept change. A person who refuses to look beyond the past, address their present situations, or anticipate a better future.

Justice

Positive:
Like the Chariot card, Justice represents a balance that is needed in order to achieve a fair and justified life. Justice elicits the need to balance wrong with right and night with day. Justice brings the understanding that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and that even though the night may seem to be never-ending, that day will eventually come. Justice also means that overindulging in the pleasures of life can indeed bring unwanted results. One can only indulge so much before they start to gain weight or become physically unhealthy. Justice also represents an analytical means to an end. Justice will weigh each side and come to a fair and just solution according to the laws or rules set forth. While we may base our findings almost solely on our feelings and emotions, Justice remains free of such emotional confines and will always bring a fair and reasonable outcome.

Negative:
When reversed this card represents being over-emotional, irrational, or biased. It also represents using unfair means to get a desired outcome. An imbalanced lifestyle or a corrupt attitude.

The Hierophant

Positive:
The Hierophant represents the Holy Spirit and connection with Life at a spiritual level. The Hierophant finds comfort and worth with the spiritual side of life rather then the physical. He represents someone who is spiritual or philosophical in nature and one in search of higher truths. The Hierophant also represents tradition in that he finds comfort and value in the new by relating it to the old tried and true ways of life. He feels that connecting with the Creator is the most effective form of action and advises prayer above other means of communication. The Hierophant depicts someone who is able to see through the superficial and get straight to the heart of the matter. The Hierophant is spiritual by nature and he shies away from religious dogma.

Negative:
When reversed this card represents superficiality and a lack of moral or spiritual truths. A militaristic or dogmatic attitude, and a reliance on religious law rather then spiritual truths. A person who is rough, rigid, and only sees one path as being the only correct answer.

The Sun (this is suppose to be my symbol since Leo is the symbol of the sun)

Positive:
The Sun represents the clear and direct use of power and influence to achieve ones goals. It symbolizes the male aspect in that it offers protection and guidance from the darker paths our lives may take. The Sun offers warmth and light upon all who live upon the earth, and it is only through the sun’s rays that life on earth can grow and thrive. The Sun is related to intellect and using direct means of communication when dealing with others. The Sun is also associated to the truth because it brings to light things which otherwise could not be seen. The Sun is associated with happiness, success, achievement, and security. The Sun brings these things through natural and truthful means.

Negative:
In a reversed position this card represents dishonesty, the desire to hide or deceive, or lack of focus. It can also depict the act of getting “burned" from another or a lack of physical energy to the point of being burned out.

The Moon

Positive:
The Moon represents the ever-changing moods and cycles of life. The Moon is closely related to the feminine aspect as well as the tides of the ocean. What one tide brings in may have little impact on us, while another may bring significant change and enlightenment. The moon works strongly with inner intuition which has a subtle influence on our everyday lives. The Moon always has an affect on life as many lives are attuned directly to the cycles that the moon presents. Farmers planting rituals are attuned to the moon, women’s menstrual cycles are also attuned to a monthly timeline like that of the moon, and the tides are largely affected on a cyclic nature. While the Moon is subtle and inconsistent, it has one constant and that is of cycles. The Moon reinforces that life refreshes and rejuvenates through the use of cycles and the more we attune to nature the more prosperous we can become.

Negative:
In a reversed position this card represents direct and analytic thinking. Ones vulnerabilities are outward and apparent and need to be concealed more heavily. Disrupted cycles or a possible pregnancy.

The Star

Positive:
The Star represents hopes and dreams and the optimism associated with realizing ones hearts desires. The Star is the initial spark of hope that arises from the dust when everything around us seems desolate and bleak. The Star is a renewal of faith in life and our Creator. It represents regeneration and renewal of all the good that life has to offer. The Star also represents the limitless possibilities that life has to offer, from our childish wishes to the high ideals we hold as adults. The Star is the guiding light we have been wishing on all of our lives in hopes of a better tomorrow. While similar to the motivation behind The Fool card, The Star differs in that we have hope beyond whatever our fears may bring. It represents a moment of peace, a reflection of light, or the wonderment of a child.

Negative:
Reversed this card represents the loss of all hope, a pessimistic attitude, or succumbing to depression. It can also depict an overly rational point of view or one without any ideals. A minimalist or someone without motivation.

The Tower

Positive:
The Tower card can be seen as both positive and negative depending on ones frame of mind. The Tower is in a state of destruction but it was never built from a solid foundation anyway. It was destined to fall. The Tower represents the destruction of a world built on illusion and false pretenses. Many relationships crumble to the force that is the Tower card because unrealistic hopes and dreams were built upon the relationship without proper support. Although the Tower represents the crumbling of ones hopes and dreams, it also brings the chance for proper renewal upon a stronger foundation built from experience and a more concrete reality. The Tower suggests an inevitable fall that cannot be avoided. All one can do is start planning for the new and hopefully build again avoiding the mistakes of the past.

Negative:
Reversed this card represents the continual building of false pretenses and succumbing to ones own self illusions. Unrealistic goals and dreams, and tricking oneself into believing nothing is wrong and that no change is necessary.

Temperance

Positive:
Like the Justice card Temperance challenges us to find balance in life but Temperance suggests finding a common ground or a solution that benefits both sides of the equation. Temperance challenges us to test all that is around us so we can come to a balanced state of awareness. Where Justice deals more specifically with making judgments, Temperance expressly deals with balancing out judgments with genuine understanding and awareness. Temperance is a constant understanding of life and how all actions are balanced out in the larger picture. Temperance flows like a stream and steadily finds its way through whatever difficulties life may put in its way. With one foot in and one foot out of the water the bearer of Temperance acknowledges and understands what both worlds have to offer.

Negative:
Reversed this card represents over-indulgence in one particular way of life or the refusal to find a happy medium. One who is stubborn, argumentative, and refuses to come to an understanding with others. One who has impulsive, and erratic behavior.

-While collecting the fragments of their dreams
Each person draws a rainbow on their blue sky
Your mind is the canvas
Your own original style wants to spring out-
