I like to pretend that it’s because a picture paints a thousand words… and yeah… that is true… but in reality… there may be a more honest reason as to why I like to record my studies by creating images…
My handwriting is horrendous… sure… I can write beautifully every so often, when I know it’s going to be read by someone else… but in the privacy of my own journals… it collapses into sigil and scrawl that I find impossible to decipher if I return more than 3 or so days later to re-read…
So… having spent the last few days exploring ascendants/descendants and mid-heavens/lower mid-heavens… I was pleasantly surprised when I veered off-track and stumbled across Lenormand/Astrology correspondences… (though… don’t ask me exactly where as I found them scattered in bits and bobs in several places and I forgot to note them down… and the interwebby is a big place… 
)
I pulled out the cards for houses I(Asc), IV(IC), VII(Desc) and X(MH) and the cards for the signs in my chart that fall there…
It was just a small experiment/exercise and I found it strangely useful in that it brought back all my thoughts from over the past few days on the subject, threw in a few more and kind of pulled them all together like iron fillings on a piece of paper being gathered to a central point by a magnet placed underneath…
I find the brevity of Lenormands a welcome break from the outward evermore spirally fractal arms that unleash via Tarot…
Lennys seem to deliver a pithy punchline to the cosmic jokes in your life…
I like that I can use something that I am visually familiar with to learn about something that I’m not familiar with… that I can turn planets and orbits into little cartoon strips…
So I’ve decided to leave the full list I herded together here as a) I’ll be able to find them again… and b)it’s a preemptive strike to counter attack the frustration of cracking the code of my cursive trails…
I’m certain I’ll be trying out a few more things with them…
You can play too… if you like… 😉
The pure and blessed way
