Beatles Reading: This article, "Four of a Kind: The Tarot of the Beatles", in Quest magazine from almost six years ago which was in turn apparently based on work for a Beatles special on KGSR-FM radio, Austin, Texas, on November 17, 1995, Kevin Hendryx gives the type of in depth reading that many of us can only hope to achieve. He writes:
"The card chosen for Richard Starkey (Ringo Starr) is number 17 in the sequence of the major arcana: the Star. More than just a serendipitous pun, this card represents hope, trust, and optimism. Its positive aspects include bright prospects, opportunity, and satisfaction. Anchored in the sky and cosmos, it is the first card to complement and complete the gifts of the Magician ... Ringo typified the ability of common persons to rise above their origins and achieve greatness. The reversed meanings of the Star, on the other hand, aptly sum up the failings of Ringo’s solo career, as Beatle scholars will recognize."
Good stuff this. Read the piece ...
