10/01/12: Stability via Flexibility | Adjustment

“Balance” isn’t something you go out and buy at the store one day, forever to have it displayed on your mantle. It isn’t the result of an eventful afternoon of meditation or a single spiritual insight. It doesn’t come about courtesy an epiphany of the soul that arrives via dream one day. It’s a very active, ongoing proposition.

The Rosetta Tarot is usually as close as I venture to the Thoth deck. I am not (and will probably never become) a Thoth Chick, but I do at least see the value in exposing myself to the work and decks inspired by Thoth, such as this one.

Here we have Adjustment, also known as Justice (Libra). It’s all in the balance, man! While we traditionally consider justice being about fairness—Libra likes that!—here, it’s not fairness in the sense of right or wrong, but a management of polarities that creates equilibrium.

Adjustment here shows a portrayal of Maat, the goddess of Truth. In her scales are the Alpha and the Omega, or in other words, the beginning and end, suggesting an all-encompassing quality about her energy.

This energy is not a static proposition—the word “adjustment” itself implies constant weighing, shifting from one side to another in order to maintain the equilibrium. Flexibility is in order here. Stability comes directly from flexibility and willingness to change. Like tacking on a sailing trip, forever correcting for the waves and winds, you arrive at your destination courtesy of your willingness to make adjustments as you go.

  1. I like the blending of the deck styles. I think it’s especially appropriate for a card like this one.

    Balance. Bleh. I think running from one end to the other so fast it looks like I’m suspended in the middle to anybody watching should count.

  2. I like that visual:

    “Like tacking on a sailing trip, forever correcting for the waves and winds, you arrive at your destination courtesy of your willingness to make adjustments as you go.”

    Thank you! :yes:
