Question
Who or What Rules the World?
Deviant Moon deck: From left to right:Page of Cups, 4 of Swords, Wheel of Fortune.
These three cards are pointing to two primary sources of influential forces: Those of the Microcosm; your body, an enclosed system that is dynamically exchanging energy with the Macrocosm; the Matrix.
The Microcosm - The nature of the soul and how it interfaces with the machinery of your brain [1]; and the power of your subconscious mind in how it expresses itself when the mind is at rest.[2]
The Macrocosm - The Wheel of Fortune card here represents the forces of the Macrocosm. In short, Destiny and Law.
In conclusion, the reading here seems to suggest that the world is largely governed by actions people do that expresses the nature of their soul and how it interfaces with their respective meat suits; and the grand total factors of Cosmic Law and Destiny.
The reading here does not imply any one person, or group, but the aggregate force of humanity's will.
Look at what is going on right now with the ruling elite as I write this post... their House of Cards is falling.
Footnotes:
[1] The Page of Cups is essentially the Neshamah in Yetzirah, the soul in The World of Formation... in other words, think of The Soul cooperating with the machinery of the body as described by the Sephirot of Hod and Netzach.
[2] The Four of Swords is the Sephirot of Chesed acting in The World of Formation. It implies what Carl Jung has been advocating all along, that the goal unifying the subconscious mind with the conscious mind. This is primarily done by not letting our faculties of reason dominate our intuition, hence the Tarot teaches that the ideal way to maintain your mind is like the 4 of Swords, calmness.
