As a tribute to Susan Gold's Tarot Table Talk blog, I'm offering a choice of six cards (chosen at random) from the Quantum Tarot for your card of the week.
Susan features a different deck every week for her readers to choose from, and recently she was kind enough to feature the Quantum.
Simply choose the card that draws your eye or seems to chime with what's going on for you. If you like, leave a comment and share which card you chose and why - I'd be really interested to hear your story.
My own choice for this week? It will have to be Justice - this definitely a time for being honest with myself and facing the truth - and speaking it too!

I kept coming back to the 7 of Wands. :) I tried not to look at what each card was and just went on instinct. It looks like someone trying to get things to connect, to plug in, to match energy to energy. And that's what I'm trying to do right now while I search for a job. :) (BTW, my address has changed. Can you email me so I can get you the new addy?)
Thanks for your comment Arwen :) interesting what you say about getting things to connect - the background image in this card shows two galaxies colliding. This is like a slow-motion cosmic car-crash. Two separate galaxies come together, intertwine and pull long strips of stars away from each other. It's a connection that seems both violent and beautiful - the two galaxies together look to me like a foetus - creating something new out of something old. :)
I have to choose Death. I work as a nurse (a fairly new field for me as I worked with economy for many years) and I love it. But things have been ''boiling up'' this week. I lost my dad (suddenly and unexpected; he was 63) not long ago; he died of a violent haemorrhage caused by radiation treatment. The other day at work I watched a woman dying from that too and at the same time I've been terribly anxious about my 18 year old son (I'm simply terrified of losing him). So death and losing has been on my mind too much.
Like in your card is has seemed to be attacking me from all sides. Or like I'm projecting my fear and experiences (which I'm very aware of doing, but not really able to stop).
A great card. But I'd really love to see Temperance this coming week. ;o)
Nina - thanks for posting - really sorry to hear about your dad :( I feel it takes much longer than we think to come to terms with these things - especially when the death was unexpected. I'm not surprised it's bringing up these fears for you.
The Quantum Death card is about matter and antimatter. When these two meet, they annihilate each other. It makes me think of the constant interplay between life and death that we all deal with in our lives - the death of a loved one often brings this tension to the fore and in the long run makes us value life more. At least that's been my experience.
To me, that's the ultimate expression of Temperance - a balance between acceptance of death and being fully, joyfully alive. Blessings :) x
The 2 of Pentacles has to be the most appropriate card with the cycles of the discs coming around in the financial markets. The 2 represents the most perfect representation of the suit and it shows both the absolute best and worst. This cards shows the discs being raised and lowered at the same time over an ocean which is always in motion.
Hi Randy - thanks for your comment. That's a good point - I hadn't made the connection between the 2 of Pents and the economic turbulence we've all witnessed this week. But of course now you mention it, it's pretty obvious - with a generous dollop of Tower mixed in there!
I'm interested in what you say about the 2 being the most perfect representation of the suit - really? I'd never have thought that about the 2 of pents... to me, it seems the most ungrounded of the pentacles; everything is up in the air and nothing solid has actually taken form...
You're exactly right about the 2 being up in the air and ungrounded. From this position (and this is true of all the suits) 2 is the starting point for all the rest of the cards. From this point anything is possible.
And yes the Tower is also a beginning. Once the tower gets too big (AIG, ML, FM/FM) it draws a lot of energy and is usually struck and falls, sometimes from it's own weight.
