From the tarot curious to the tarot savvy, Heart's Compass Tarot provides a guide to using the tarot as a compass to navigate life, focus creativity, inspire writing, and forge a deeper connection to the self. Heart-centered, joy-based journaling questions (How do I love? How does my life force fill me? How do I communicate? How do I enjoy my body?) connect the tarot to the student's past, present and future. Tarot journaling, a tarot timeline, and discovering living expressions of the tarot in the present world work together to reveal personal symbols for use in meditation, dreamwork, and creation of the student's own unique cards. Cards created by other students, heart-based interpretations of traditional and original layouts, and a selection of tarot-inspired poems and essays open the riches of the tarot to deepen self-exploration and inspire creative work. Learn to create beginning layouts, team up with a tarot companion, dialogue with your own unconscious, or even write a tarot haiku. Heart's Compass offers an innovative template for a lifetime of tarot improvisation, deepening intuition and awakening the student to joy, wise dreams, and inner gifts waiting to be shared.
