Tonight's 'quick' insight
Symbolism: A dream-like sense of wandering across the boards of a theatrical stage. In slow motion. There are stage lights and awareness that beyond the glare people are watching. Unknown faces beckoning the unknown individual to step away from the stage into the sanctuary of off-stage. Looking down now from an upper tier box. Down onto the stage and seeing now clowns perform. Manikin-like costumes. Enthralling the audience who respond with roars of encouragement. There is a circus troupe ... all actors in animal costumes pretending to be the animals ... a convincing act. It is a hit stage show/musical following the exploits of a circus.

Seven of Spheres
Judgement
The Seven of Spheres beholds the fool recovering one of the seven discarded spheres on the floor of a ravine. The fool is the number 0 in the tarot. The traveller. He/she who undertakes all experiences which the tree of life can provide. Recovering the first of the seven clues or inspirations along the early stages of the trail leads to the realisation of the Seven of Weapons.The gauntleted hand grasping the six weapons/swords and leaving the one flaming sword within the grasp of the other gauntleted hand. The seven inspirations have become seven tasks or instructions. In turn the Seven of Weapons becomes the Nine of Spheres.
Having the six tasks in hand leads to a further nine inspirations, all of which are placed in seperate localities around the branches of the tree of life. The Fool must now wander previously travelled avenues to realise these further inspirations. Only then will the Fool travel back from the trivial aspects of the minor trumps of the tarot ... back into its true reality, that of the major arcana the Fool really belongs.
There waiting with be two major trumps - The Star and Judgement. The gematria of the trumps are thus 17 and 20 respectively. A combined value of 37, which is the singular ten or one. The progression for the Fool from its lowly number 0 to that of 1 on the next rung of the ladder. Thus the Fool will pass through its rite of initiation into its newly affirmed position.
