This week, the engines are running, the pistons are pumping, skyscrapers rise on the horizon.  The 3 of Pentacles or Disks is the Lord of work! and the Devil himself ensures there are no idle hands at play here. Combined with the driving force of Mars and the power of the calendrical New Year, all manner of resolutions are taking form. Here is the glory of the built world and the promise of industry writ large. Through the power of collaboration, ambition turns into 3D, concrete reality. In our conversation we discuss: the Devil and the Tower, the exaltation of Mars in Saturn-ruled Capricorn, blueprints, Masons, the myth of Enki and his apelike humans, Gilgamesh, Innanna, and Enkidu, seeking the unattainable, pyramids as symbols of aspiration, the Pillar of Form, the 9 reaping the fruits of the 3, the gunas (Sattva, Tamas, and Rajas), sulfur/salt/mercury, lawful/chaotic/neutral, silence, avarice, Binah consciousness,  the armies of Mordor at the gates of Barad Dûr, the Giver of Permits, and Faustian bargains. To learn more about the suit of Pentacles or Disks, the world of Assiah, the mother gods of Binah, the color schemes of the cards, and so much else, be sure to visit us at www.patreon.com/fortuneswheelhouse. You can also shop for Fortune's Wheelhouse T-shirts, mugs, backpacks, stickers, and more! at our RedBubble shop.
