Le Tarot Astrologique
II074
Certainly! The Tarot Astrologique you’ve described is a fascinating deck. Let me summarize the key points:
- Origin: The Tarot Astrologique was produced by French occultist Georges Muchery in 1927.
- Illustrations: The deck features colored illustrations, most of which are signed by artist Henri Armengol. The backs of the cards display a repeated pattern of dark blue spirals.
- Composition: The deck consists of 48 cards:
- 36 cards represent the zodiac signs (3 for each sign).
- 9 arcana cards correspond to stars and planets.
- Additional cards include the Ascendant, Noeud ascendant/descendant, and Partie de Fortune (the wheel of fortune).
- Book: In the same year, Muchery published a book titled Traité d’astromancie, le tarot astrologique, where he explained his theories of astromancy and cartomancy.
- Reprints: Although the original edition is uncommon, the Tarot Astrologique has been widely reprinted.
This deck combines astrology and tarot symbolism, making it a unique and sought-after collector’s item.
