5.0 out of 5 stars A Super Deck!, June 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Russell Grant's Astro-Tarot Pack (Paperback)

This deck has been out of print for some time now (in the US anyway - in Britain there seem to be many still floating around). So, if you are lucky enough to come across this combination deck and book set in the US - grab it! The complete set does include the cards and a book with illustrations/meanings. I found the book very comprehensive and the deck itself is beautiful. It's definitely whimsical/fairy tale in nature, but the artwork is very well done. This deck is definitely for someone who isn't bothered by the intersection of astrology/tarot, since most of the cards depict the planets and star/zodiac signs. The cards are glossy, and narrower than most tarot decks, but very sturdy. The major arcana is represented as well. The best thing about the deck is how you can read from the pictures alone - there are enough graphics within the card to accurately show the meanings, and the symbolism is really outstanding. Good luck finding this deck, and enjoy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Work!, September 13, 2000

Ivanovitch (Rio de Janeiro, RJ - Brazil) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Russell Grant's Astro-Tarot Pack (Paperback)

When I ordered this deck I wasn't sure if I would like it. I saw some cards in a website but I had doubt about the idea of mixing tarot and astrology (chinese AND western astrology!!) in individual cards (no associations or any kind of cross reference). Now I can tell you, it works!

Very interesting combination of different knowledges.... This work has 64 cards: 22 cards of the Major Arcana, the aces of the 4 suits from the traditional Minor Arcana (new begginings in different areas), 12 sun signs of the Western Astrology (the cosmic journey we take through life), 12 signs of the Chinese Astrology (emotions, senses, psychic side and spirituality) and, finally, 14 cards which are all associated with the planets and angles in the Western Astrology (influences around us, karma, lesson and so one).

The illustrations seem to be done to a fairy tale book. They are very pleasant and well done. Using his expertise in astrology, Grant give us a simplistic but interesting interpretations based in the astrological houses.

If you are looking a set (book and deck) about tarot this isn't your product but if you would like to know a very innovative oracle here you have a good opportunity to know something different but not less effective.
