The manara erotic tarot-5 of earth- ( Terra )
The Erotic Tarot- 5 of Earth depicts a young woman squatting on the dirty and crowed sidewalk, out of time, out of luck as her biological functions won't let her continue walking. With all her might she tries to control her functions, but there is nowhere to go, nowhere to hide, and no way out. It is a time of resignation; it is a time of release.
Milo Manara assigned to this card the meanings of:
- Difficulty.
- Lack.
- No way out.
- Resignation.
The Astrological assignation of Mercury in Taurus is about a need to communicate in a lasting and possessive manner. Well, she will certainly be doing that soon enough!
Thoth- 5 of disks-worry
Since the Thoth Disks are cards that represent the physical, this card represents physical worry, concerns, and rumination. It is a state of being self-conscious that dwells in the past and goes forward fearing the future and therefore, doesn't live in the now. By not living in the now, we are not present today, which doesn't allow new perspectives or thoughts to change our mental emotional direction. This is a general effect of a long strain without action, a general state of inaction. Health, finances, work, relationships and/or creativity are the concerns here.
Astrologically this card represents Mercury in Taurus, also symbolizing communication worries. Worrying about whether your communication efforts are coming across correctly or if you even can communicate at all. By now we are familiar with the 5th Sephiroth- Geburah, a state of energy that is severe in its function. Geburah is a corrective state of intelligence, whose severity is an action towards self-assessment, rather than anything karmic.
The Thoth Deck 5 of Disks is called Worry, but also often called the Lord of Material Trouble. Here Mercury is in the house of Taurus. The angels of the Decan are Mibahiah and Pooyal.
In the 5 of Disks, we have Geburah-Severity, influencing the Material World (Assiah).
"To Worry" something, is translated to English as the shepherds use the word, which is a type of strangulation a sheep dog does to a sheep. This strangulating is a biting and holding on to the Sheep's throat, which stops it in its tracks and is just for that purpose. Thus, we understand that the five of disks is so named because it stops all material events, such as profession or monetary gain, dead in its tracks.
Again, Crowley shapes this card as an inverted pentagram, which implies difficulties. He also placed the geometric figures of the Hindu five Tattvas in the individual disks, each symbolizing an Alchemical element of Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Spirit. In the Hindu system these are the underlying currents of matter.
Mercurial energy is opposed to Taurian earth, simply because earth has a natural tendency to be stationary while Mercury is swift motion. Granted it takes a strong Mercury to influence and unbalance Taurus, but Geburah is Saturn and has that strength. In fact, instead of Severity, she is sometimes called Strength and causes instability in the 5 states of matter. This instability is vibrational, much like an earthquake, yet the 5 states of matter (5 Tattvas) have enough attraction necessary to hold together on the lover planes forestalling complete disruption. So, this is more like the dog holding the sheep at a standstill, a kind of intelligence applied to labor. In Anglo Saxon, to "worry" was just that, a sheep dog holding a sheep by the throat, to stop it dead in its tracks. The 5 of Disks thus implies intense strain with long moments of inaction.
The 5 of Disks also implies that perspective makes our present state of being, and if our perspectives dwell in the past we are “up-side-down” ---we aren't living today. This 5 of Disks card reminds us that we are presently inanimate, which is dead to action. We can change directions, be they physical, emotional, or mental, only by acting--moving! Begin with what you have even if your only action to hold out your hand for assistance. Waiting for tomorrow and/or a brain full of what-ifs are both unimportant to motion as they only excuse inaction. It's time to break worry patterns by actively pursuing changes in communication patterns, financial, health, and in relationships with the Taurus people in your life. Worry is a type of mental lethargy whose chains are easily broken by activity. Live the now, you are not "a past person" you are an I AM Now person---an active and unique expression of alive motion.
When the Divination brings up the 5 of Disks/Earth, the querent is going through a period:
- Of rumination, anxiety, or concern... possibly both.
- Feeling left out of social events because of lack of money.
- Of challenges concerning insecurity, deprivation, and even exclusion.
- Where the mind is focused on survival issues and thus stopping creativity dead in its tracks as a feeling of helplessness and inertia takes over.
- There is a foretelling of material trouble for the next 5 weeks or 5 months.
- Of the next 5 weeks or 5 months, opportunities are presented to you for the release of worry about health, finances, relationships, productivity and to improve your communication skills.
- The concerns of the past let's say when you were 5 years old, or 5 years ago, are what produce worry.
- Of intending to want to avoid discomfort, and try to compare present day events, to past ones.
- Locked into past pain----does not help us live in the present and this card reminds us to forget the what-ifs of yesterday, or tomorrow and to be the I Am of now.
If this card is ill defined:
- Failure.
- Collapse.
- Despair.
