AUTHOR’S NOTE: The Qabalistic Tree of Life presents three triangles in its symbolic architecture, one with the apex pointing upward and two pointing down. Here I’ve adapted these triangles to the three-card tarot reading. In the cases of Fire and Air I introduced the “hidden knowledge” of Da’ath (to which I’ve assigned the nebulous planet Neptune in my personal system of correspondences) as a “Wild Card,” while in the third instance I appended the tenth Sephira of Malkuth as part of a two-tiered exploration of emotional and corporeal “sensitivity” embracing both Water and Earth. (In line with my previous essay on the Sevens, Eights and Nines, the Water Triangle suggests the analogy of “learning to ride a bicycle.”) I’ve used esoteric number theory and elemental principles in defining the positions.
