On the Decans of Saturn
Join me in an upcoming webinar, conversation and class.
Join me next week, Tuesday Jan 23rd at 3:33pm for a subscriber exclusive online class breaking down the decans of Saturn through the minor arcana.
Hello dear Reader,
I hope the new year is treating you well. I hope you are finding peace amidst the living and dying of this world. I hope you are breaking free of the fetters of colonial consciousness and making space for radical authenticity. I hope we are ready for the continued coming revolution ever on the horizon, ready to be remade, ready to be utterly changed and courageous enough to love still.
I’ve got several updates for you.
First, I am excited to announce that I am starting a new series of classes, exclusive for my red readers. In monthly classes, I will be delineating the decans of each planet through the tarot’s minor arcana.
These classes will cover:
The nature of each planet
An overview of decanic dignity
How each planet’s elementary nature becomes distinct through their decanic dignity and distinctly emphasized and emblematic in the syncretized tarot pictorials.
Spirits and powers associated with each decan / arcanum
What and how these cards / decans signify in a reading and how to heed their advice.
A custom spread for each class.
This first classes will be free to attend live for all, and then after upon a sliding scale, while paid subscribers will have live and ever-green recorded access as part of their benefits. So, to watch the replay, upgrade your subscription.
Next,
I’ll be celebrating the publication of Red Tarot: A Decolonial Guide to Divinatory Literacy with Charis Books & More and Charis Circle, in conversation with Alice Sparkly Kat!
I am so honored and excited to be in conversation with Ace and consider the relations between a postcolonial reading of astrology and a decolonial reading of tarot. Let me know, have you read Alice Sparkly Kat’s book Postcolonial Astrology yet? And how has this changed your engagement with astrology?
While it’s a bit early, I wanted to let you all know first and be the first to register! This event will take place on crowdcast, Charis’ virtual event platform, on March 11th at 7:30pm est, and is free for all!
Lastly,
TENZ is still open for enrollment and begins next Thursday, January 25th, 5pm pst. To give you a taste of this tarot course in transgressive movement, I wanted to give you a sample of some of the recorded lectures that accompany the live decanic explorations each month.
I’m sharing my capricorn lecture, given the foreboding egress of Pluto in Capricorn later this week. The text I paired and read these cards / decans through is Belonging: A Culture Of Place, by bell hooks. This is the second decan exploration using the work of hooks and given her prolific writing I’m sure I could use each of her books to guide the decan walk. Nonetheless I hope you expand your bell hooks collection and find meaningful application to Capricorn.
To get access to the accompanying slides and the custom Capricorn season spread, consider becoming a paid subscriber.
