The Osho Taro deck is considered unconventional, as it does not answer the question in the simple sense of how this happens with others like her. Each card is a kind of meditation, since the decoding is one of the quotes from the master of Osho. There is no and will not be an exact answer, because only by understanding oneself can one see it. More details about the deck itself, how it was created, and how to work with it will be described in this article.
Osho Maps History
Taro under the name of the Indian philosopher first saw the light in 1995. Although this deck is considered to be young, she has already managed to gain her reputation with experienced tarologists. The cards themselves were translated somewhere into twelve languages and during that time found their fans.
The idea of their creation appeared five years before the sannyasinka Osho Ma Zhivan Upasiki. She was an experienced tarologist from Germany, who was inspired by the ideas of the master. Upasiki received approval from Osho, and only after that she turned to the artist Ma Deva Padme. The latter, in fact, completed the work.
When Padma worked with tarot, she lived in Osho. While the master was alive, the artist often talked with him and showed her sketches. She finished her work after Osho died, although, according to her, the master was always invisibly present during the work, until she finished it.
Tarot Osho: deck structure
It should be noted right away that many tarologists attribute this deck to oracles, as some of its cards are somewhat different from the traditional version both in name and interpretation. Also, the deck itself does not give an answer to the question specifically, but rather pushes it toward reflection, inspired by Osho's sayings.
The tarot in its composition has seventy-eight cards, as in the classic version. The eldest arcana is twenty-two, and the youngest is fifty-six. In the deck, the suits are named somewhat differently - Fire, Rainbow, Clouds, Water. A feature is also a completely different name for each card of the Minor Arcana.
For example, there are two cards called “Instant to Instant” and “Experience”. You can only compare the cards of the Yard and Aces with the classics. If we talk about the principle of the cards, we can note the path “Jester”, which is significantly different from the classics (there it goes in a spiral), because a special card is added to the deck - “Master”. It is she who allows you to stop and get out of the spiral.
The deck also has completely different names for the Major Arcana. For example, “Empress” is called “Creativity”, and “Emperor” - “Rebel”. It is believed that this deck is very easily understood even without an interpretation supplement, since the pictures on the cards are very simple and their meaning is clear on an intuitive level.
How to work with maps
Osho Zen Tarot cards can answer any question that will be asked correctly. Despite the fact that many people think the deck is almost unearthly, with the right approach, the answer will be received and sometimes it is very striking. But it can be veiled somewhat, and to understand it, it will be necessary to reflect a little.
A feature of this deck is that it works well with cause-effect relationships of a person’s state, as well as with emotions that accompany any situation. Use this deck if you need to analyze the mental and physical condition of a person. You can also ask her a question about your relationship, career advancement or business.
“Instant” layout: the easiest layout
Osho Tarot cards can predict you an event for today or simply answer any question that worries you. If you make fortune-telling as meditation, then you can also use this layout. It is very simple, you just need to decide on the question, remove one card from the deck and see its interpretation.
Hagal layout
Complicated in understanding and quite powerful alignment, which is recommended to be done once in a lifetime. Therefore, if you have a really important question, then lay out the Osho Zen Tarot cards with the Hagal layout.
Here you can see the union of two oracles at once, which are considered very powerful. This is an armored futark and zen tarot. The rune itself in its interpretation means creation and creativity, as well as change and destiny. Therefore, in combination with Osho cards, the alignment is considered very powerful.
The layout is laid out in the form of a rune, it has eight cards. The first one tells about the influence of past lives on you, the second card can tell you why the questioner came here. The third card tells about what is now, and the fourth about what is destructive and therefore pulls back. From the fifth card you can find out what will help in development and growth upward, and from the sixth - about the existing help in life. The seventh card will show destructive actions, and the eighth will tell about the necessary meditation.
Alignment “Bird in flight”
This is another alignment of Tarot Osho. In its shape, it really resembles a bird during a flight. The left wing will tell the questioner about the energy of the feminine, which is currently in effect. The right wing is a symbol of active male energy.
The layout uses seven cards, the countdown begins with the one in the middle. It is also considered a men's card. Next comes the second women's card, and so the order is respected until the very end. This alignment can be compared with the ladder along which the questioner climbs, because each currently selected card is an answer to the previous one.
The "Paradox" layout
The whole deck of Osho Taro is involved in this scenario. Lay it in front of you and concentrate on your inner questions or just meditate. Then divide the deck into three parts and select one of them. Remove the top card - it will tell you about what is here and now. Take out the lowest card - it will tell about the impact of past lives on you. It remains to choose any one card from the pile - it is it that is the necessary paradox.
Alignment layout
Some Tarot Osho-created handouts are for two. So, if you use the “Unity” layout, you can figure out the existing relationship (between you and your partner) and understand why there is a misunderstanding. Perhaps by expanding the cards, you will see what can be thrown out of the relationship, or you can confirm that you really need it.
Ten cards are involved in the deal. Spread them in a semicircle (seven cards) around three cards in strict sequence. Those that are located in the center (two cross to the cross, and one on top in the usual position), talk about the relationship between partners, and those that are around them (or rather, opposite the one in the center), is the internal state of the partner.
Key layout
In this scenario, eight cards are used, which are laid down from top to bottom. Using it, you can consider the hidden unconscious sides of your question. In addition, it can be laid out if you need to learn about inner life, about what is happening here and now.
Layout “Mirror”
Another alignment on the relationship. With its help, you can make a detailed analysis of relations with another person (for example, a husband, lover or any relative). The cards will tell you about the energies that flow between you, and how much they interact.
The layout uses twelve cards. They are arranged in vertical lines against each other. 1-3 and 7-9 cards tell about the one who lays the cards, 4-5 and 10-11 tell about the other person.
Conclusion
The Osho deck is suitable for those people who always look inside themselves, often meditate and engage in spiritual practice. But it doesn’t matter if a deck has come to you, but you don’t feel spiritual in yourself. This means that you are on the verge of something new and amazing that will completely change your life. It’s not in vain in the Osho Zen deck Tarot layouts are quite numerous, and at the same time they have very interesting and poetic names that reflect their essence. Choose the right one and explore your inner world, because it is these cards that will most accurately reveal it to you.
