The First Doctor Tarot, Season 2

OK, it was harder this time to find appropriate images. Last time many just fell into my lap - I mean, the Emperor and Empress are just perfect - but this time it's a case of what can I get that vaguely appropriate in a ten-minute search for many. Ah well.

J. Planet of Giants: Binah
Meaning: Understanding


A stretch, perhaps, but there is a thread running through the story that matches.

K. The Dalek Invasion of Earth: The World
Meaning: Completion, Closure, Accomplishment

Of course, it had to be really. The Earth, the World, the end of Susan's story...

Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150AD: Yesod
Meaning: Foundation
Really, the closest I could get to duplicating the TV meaning without all the completion aspect.

L. The Rescue: The Star
Meaning: Hope, Trust, Renewal


Elizabeth Sandifer used to describe Vicki as a "star child" - and she fits this card perfectly in this story.

M. The Romans: The Sun
Meaning: Fun, Comfort, Success

I could have gone for two images: Iananbarbara relaxing, which better matched the meaning, or Nero being all sun Emperor.

N. The Web Planet: The High Priestess
Meaning: Intuition, the Subconscious

Nope, couldn't find a decent image. The meaning isn't a straightforward match, but I think it works well if you look behind the obvious.

 P. The Crusade: Malkuth
Meaning: Kingdom


Um, yeah, this is me being shallow with the meaning.

Q. The Space Museum: The Wheel
Meaning: Cycles, Turning Points, Lack of Purpose

Apathy and revolution!

R. The Chase: The Lovers
Meaning: Choice, Union

Of course.

S. The Time Meddler: The Hermit
Meaning: Time, Introspection, Obstinacy
And again, what else?

Next Time:
The First Doctor Tarot, Seasons 3-4.
