For 25 years I am working on a book about the Tarot. Finally I’m very close to finish the project. Meanwhile I started working also on a board game based on the Tarot deck.
Originally I planned to use the traditional Reader-Waite-Smith deck, but ultimately I changed my mind and I decide it to create my own deck.
For several years I was trying to convince artists to create together a new tarot deck, but eventually I had to do it on my own. These are the four Aces.

The 4 Aces represent the 4 cardinal points, the 4 seasons, respectively the 4 major astronomical events, the 2 equinoxes and the 2 solstices.

Generally, the Aces represents opportunities, impulses coming from the outside, those type of things we can’t control, but we can take advantage or we can miss. However, if the card is in reversed position they signify setbacks, missed opportunities, respectively delays in our plans.
