Patti Newton - Tarot Background
I bought my first Tarot Deck in 1973, and even at the young age of 13, I was fascinated with the idea that the symbols and pictures on the cards had meaning, and could offer profound messages that would be relevant to navigating my life's journey. I knew right away that these 78 cards would hold great significance for me, and in the development my skills and interests. Before I understood what they signified I would draw the images, which helped me to learn the content of each card more easily.
I was to learn later in life that it was indeed a metaphysical tool for personal insight, transformation, and a guide for making creative decisions.
My first deck was the 'Rider Waite', and I have owned many others along the way, but I read for others with the 'Osho Zen Tarot Deck' as I find the images both Yin and Yang, illuminated, and they speak to our psyches in a language that surpasses our intellectual mind. People who never imagined they would have an interest in Tarot Readings, find the images evocative, expressive, and meaningful and are not connected to any specific eras, time in history, culture or theme. They are strongly based on the 'Five Elements' practice that is connected Chinese Medicine, Feng Shui, and Taoism. This is a deck for all humans to enjoy and a perfect deck for me to read with given my personal interests that include all of these studies!
Chinese Astrologer
I first studied 4 Pillars Chinese Astrology with the intention to add it as a tool to my Feng Shui Practice. My teacher, Yasha Jampolsky was a Feng Shui Consultant and a Chinese Astrologer. It was his practice to run a clients chart before introducing Feng Shui to their environments.
I thought this was a fascinating combination because of my long term love and relationship with Chinese Medicine. I was also well studied regarding Tarot as a Five Element tool of personal growth and development. This comfort level allowed me to absorb the studies of Chinese Astrology more easily. What I love most about 4 Pillars it is the Earth based quality of the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac, The Solar Calendar as a guide to our 'Year' animal and the revealing of our two 'Ming Gua' numbers' that give us a sense of how the elemental diced were 'rolled' at our time of birth, setting off 10 year luck cycles and the influences they contain, our challenges to overcome, as well as our gifts and strengths of personality and character. The chart will also reveal the year to year influences, family of origin ancestral influences , the predisposition of our elemental percentages for health and well being and our age of individualization of which tells a whole story in itself!
My favorite aspect is: Even though we 'see' or 'read' what appears in the chart - we are always free to strengthen ourselves in a variety of ways that will give a sense of self -empowerment and the ability to create healthy changes in our life - Although the story may be 'written' nothing is ever truly 'written in stone'
With the insights the chart can offer, it is never too late to create a healthier life style and make new decisions and choices that will bring more balance and harmony to our daily life experience!
