Last week I made a nice find in a second-hand store in the cityโa blouse made of royal blue colored wild silk. Today I sewed a tarot cloth from its back. The shiny fabric with its color fits great with the bright images of the Radiant Rider-Waite cards.


I continued my research about what would be the best way to start entrepreneurship. I already had decided earlier this year starting as light entrepreneur, but it turned out that the invoicing service I was planning to use doesn’t allow for invoicing international clients.
Luckily I found another company with services for light entrepreneurs that does make invoicing international clients possible. Alternatively, I could start my own business taking care of all the paperwork and bureaucracy myself. The light entrepreneurship service I found has a sister company through which starting your own business seems a bit easier than usual. Still, this kind of entrepreneurship requires much more work and considerations.
I already asked the cards (September 13) about the outcome if I decided to go with light entrepreneurship providing services only nationally versus starting my own business (which allows me to invoice worldwide). It didn’t look good for national bound light entrepreneurship (The Tower, Knight of Cups reversed). Starting my own business also looked a bit difficult (Two of Pentacles reversed, The Moon).
Today I asked again, but this time for light entrepreneurship with the possibility to invoice internationally versus starting my own business. Looks like starting as a light entrepreneur and invoicing through a company that makes invoicing on an international level possible would be a good choice. The cards I got were the Knight of Wands and the Ace of Wands.
Starting my own business was judged with the reversed Empress card. The second card was The Chariot. Although the Chariot card is a positive one, the reversed Empress is not a good sign for starting your own business. The Knight and Ace of Wands indicate a much better start and progression. The second card in this reading gives, as in the reading from September 13, further insights.


So basically, the choice is between:
- The Tower (+ reversed Knight of Cups) symbolizing national bound light entrepreneurship
- The Two of Pentacles reversed (+ The Moon), and The Empress reversed (+ The Chariot) signifying starting my own business
- The Knight of Wands (+ Ace of Wands) symbolizing light entrepreneurship with the possibility for invoicing worldwide
Interestingly, both first cards symbolizing starting my own business were reversed cards. All second cards, except the Ace of Wands, are related to water. At the moment, it makes the impression that going with light entrepreneurship and having the possibility to offer consultations to international clients is the preferable choice.
The Knight of Wands and the Ace of Wands pair seem the most in alignment and suiting to symbolize starting entrepreneurship. Also, the Knight of Wands has lizards on his shirt. A sign? You know I am friends with the lizard in the King of Wands card. ๐ฆ

I am very interested in the origins of astrology – please tell me where to start. Michael
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your comment! The oldest written documents about astrology are from the Old Babylonian period (2000-1600 BCE).
There are two books in English I recommend looking into. The first is ๐ ๐๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ด๐ค๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ช๐ค ๐๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐บ: ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ฃ๐บ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฏ ๐๐จ๐ฆ by James Herschel Holden, American Federation of Astrologers, 2nd edition, 2006. The second book is called ๐๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ช๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ค ๐๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐บ: ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฅ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฆ by Chris Brennan, Amor Fati Publications, 2017.
I assume you also speak German. You might want to look into Rafael Gil Brandโs ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ด๐ด๐ช๐ด๐ค๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ๐ช๐ฆ, Chiron Verlag, 2000. You can also check out the first article I published here on my blog in 2018, which is about the history of astrology: http://livingincycles.blog/2018/05/26/geschichte-der-astrologie/.
These few suggestions should help you get started. I hope you enjoy reading and learning.
Alles Gute! โจ
