(Ice Queen, I found a site that gives a Tarot card based on your birthday!) Hi all! What is your Tarot card? Go to http://www.corax.com/tarot/yourcard.html, enter your birthdate, and discover your personal card! Mine is the Chariot: The Chariot stands for combined powers, ready to move forward. It represents the dynamic principle and the human will to proceed, the ability to use the powers of life and keep the outer and inner balance.
The Chariot shows a strong will, a strong personality, and at its best, victory and success. But it also is a symbol for controversial power, for contradictions that are not solved, but just controlled. In this, the trump also warns of overestimation and recklessness. With every new venture or beginning one should check carefully whether the desired goal is compatible with one's life and inner self.
Additionally, the Chariot is a symbol for the armor we build up when moving forward in the process of self-assertion. It also alludes to the danger that we might mix this armour with our actual personality.
So a negative aspect of the Chariot might involve understanding that the way of armed power isn't always the right one, that the controversial power inside may to be reconciled with one other, and not just controlled and surpressed.
Drive: The will to conquer, courage, victory
Light: The awakening of powers, the way ahead, searching and finding one's place in life
Shadow: Megalomania, insensivity, running against walls

Hmmmm, here's mine. I'm not sure I agree with some of it, though. Just like the horoscopes you read in the daily newspapers, it seems just generic enough to be able to apply -- or not -- as you wish. I wish I wasn't such a skeptic but it's hard not to be ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
III - The Empress
The Empress is the friendlier, more approachable aspect of the female archetype. She stands for maternity, love and mercy; at the same time she's a symbol for sexuality and emotion. She is pure feeling, absolutely unintellectual, but basically life. The Empress is the Great Mother, representing the beginning of all life. She is the power of nature, causing change, renewal, major plans.
The Empress also stands for passion, a phase in which we cope life on an emotional and joyful basis, rather than on the thoughtful. This could mean great satisfaction, but in an improper context, when actually more analysis is needed. The Empress can also stand for a reflective, emotional attitude, refusing to accept reality. It also could stand for a person who is greedy for joy and abundance when actually just more self-control is needed.
Drive: Devotion and maternity, Mother Nature, creating something new in connection of both inside and outside
Light: Maternity, love, trust, fulfilness, the joy of great abundance
Shadow: Greed, envy, jealousy, laziness

Your link came to one of their custom made error pages so i clicked their link on there and tried navigating but found no sign of the page you got your information from...
I probably wasn't searching hard enough, but that background makes it even harder
The I is moving I would rather live in my own shadow...at least then I would be compared to a past I'm more familiar with ~I~ Fear me, Hate me, Curse me, for I will question your every move ~I~ My past hold much pain and loss. I will conquer it by creating the perfect future ~Ixidor the Reality Sculptor (Magic the Gathering)~

OH, i didn't see that comma <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> (i think they need more of this 'instant graemlins' on this place. now I see the page laoding IX - The Hermit
Saturn as the keeper of the gate, or Saturn in Aquarius, standing for the search of wisdom and the keeping of independence Zodiac: Virgin Tree of life: From Chesed (growth and condensation) to Tiphareth (consciousness and harmony) Number: 9 as the number going back into itself (3 x 3)
The Hermit represents retirement from the outside world, introversion into the inner self, listening to the inner voice and caring for the inner self. He requires retreat from any 'high life' and loud company, and stands for a time of self-reflection and self-realization.
For most people, the silent loneliness of the Hermit appears unattractive, but behind the Hermit is the wisdom of the High Priestress. You cannot listen to your inner voices while having a party..
In its negative aspect, the Hermit could mean being afraid of others or of life. When the retreat turns out to be a runaway, the loneliness can turn into a jail.
Drive: Retiring from life, retreat from the masses, looking into one's self, introversion
Light: Wisdom, realization, mental maturity, the inner light
Shadow: Numbness, loneliness, bitterness hah that is so true
The I is moving I would rather live in my own shadow...at least then I would be compared to a past I'm more familiar with ~I~ Fear me, Hate me, Curse me, for I will question your every move ~I~ My past hold much pain and loss. I will conquer it by creating the perfect future ~Ixidor the Reality Sculptor (Magic the Gathering)~

Thank you so much! Sounds like me. I have Sag rising and Neptune in the first house. And I could *so* be a preacher. I preach all day long at everyone anyway.
V - The Hierophant
Sun in Sagittarius as a symbol for the teacher of inner values, Jupiter in Pisces as the vision of eternity Zodiac: Taurus Tree of life: From Chokmah (the creating powers) to Chesed (growth and condensation) Number: 5 as quintessence, the power that exceeds the four elements
The Hierophant is a symbol for a world of belief and confession, may it be a church, a sect or an occult society. He's the pope, the druid or the High Priest in a system of creeds and dogmas. He represents the religious and intellectual tradition of a person, and may be the one the person is born to it or possibly the one who has chosen it by himself.
In the positive aspect, the Hierophant represents the search for knowledge and illumination, the desire to study creed and dogma instead of simply accepting them, to research and achieve further development. It also stands for the deep fulfillment someone can find when really trusting their own beliefs.
In a negative view, the Hierophant can stand for bigotry, the blind faith in dogma, intolerance towards everything different from the own confession. It can also mean gullibility, running to any kind of new belief just because the traditional one is suddenly considered boring or unsatisfying.
Drive: Search for hidden truths, trust in inner instincts
Light: Wisdom and knowledge as an experience independent from dogmatism and science
Shadow: Intolerance, esoteric nonsense

This is my SO. Totally him, too.
X - The Wheel of Fortune
Saturn, Uranus, Neptun and Pluto - the masters of Karma Planet: Jupiter Tree of life: The axis Chesed (growth and condensation) - Netzach (creativity and anarchy) Number: 10 as symbol for perfection, the cross sum is 1 (the Magician)
The Wheel of Fortune is a symbol of destiny and destination, of good luck and bad luck, of the ups and downs of life and fate. Everything is in motion, turning and floating, constantly changing, accidental and uncontrollable.
The trump also represents the need to be careful, to realize and recognize the vaguarities of life, to accept the fact that fate is nothing what we could have done, but the result of what we already did. Today is the result of the past, future will be the sum of past and today, and no matter how accurately we plan, the Wheel of Fortune will mix up light and shadow.
Whether the Wheel of Fortune is positive or negative is not a matter of happenstance or events in the first place; but rather of the way we will deal with the results, arrange our lives with the unchangable and work on what we might be able to change - and of course of our ability to realize facts.
Drive: Eternal motion, changing, restarting, accepting of fate
Light: Unexpected changings, fortune, realization of luck
Shadow: Fatalism, a changing to the worse
