Tarot Synchronicity: The Psychic Hit and the Lucky Guess

 

Carl Jung speculated that the Tarot works according to the principle of ‘synchronicity’- that psychic insights are triggered  by apparently random and yet meaningful co-incidence, which he thought might be explained by Quantum Mechanics.

I was once doing a face to face reading, when the focus was the client’s job, and I drew the King of Pentacles or Coins.

The image below is from The Gilded Tarot  by kind permission of Ciro Marchetti.

This Tarot ‘king’ represents a man who is patient, practical, kind, industrious. He is the salt of the earth. I said to the client that I thought he was a manager, and the work was practical in nature but also involved communication.

I could see that this job demanded utmost precision or the ‘thing’ wouldn’t work. But I didn’t  yet quite ‘see’ what his job might be and he wasn’t volunteering. No matter.  We are a species of hunter, we card readers. This is part of the fun and fascination of doing a reading.

‘I might get at it though,’ I said, ‘I might now that my ‘computer’ is talking directly to your ‘computer’.’

What I meant by this was, I felt we were on the same wavelength.

His reply?

‘But that IS my job! I  work for the government. That’s what I do…I make computers talk to other computers.’

Now that is typical  of the Tarot.

Just typical.

Synchronicity.

Until next time 🙂
