Taja Tuesday Artist Talk | Cards & Cosmos

Taja Lindley centers tarot in her II XI XX (two | eleven | twenty) project, and for this season’s Taja Tuesday Artist Talk, she's going to share an astrological practice with her cards. There is a system of astrological correspondence in tarot that she uses to decode lunar cycles, big transits, and natal astrology. These personal rituals inform her creative process and projects, and help her (re)write the myth and legend of her life.

The Spring 2022 Edition of Taja Tuesday Artist Talk, will feature:

• a presentation about this astro-tarot practice

• how this practice informs II XI XX

• and how you can use this practice for yourself

Plus! Taja will be doing a collective reading of the upcoming new moon eclipse in Taurus (3:34pm CST April 30th) using this method.
