Description:
Issued with Anna Number 34 August 1987. Two sets of cards - 12 larger format cards each for one of the twelve astrological houses and 36 smaller format cards. These smaller format cards are in fact 12 designs repeated three times. The instruction book indicates that these are for the Past, Present and Future. Each card bears a coloured dot (small format) or cube (large format) either red , yellow or blue, thus the subtitle of the deck - three colours for three truths. The artwork is inspired by Rene Magritte with some of the cards bearing images of his famous bowler hatted and suited man, an apple balloon and various reversals. Le spine quoted directly from Magritte's 'Le Coup au Coeur '(The Blow to the Heart) 1952. A few of the images relate to traditional tarot - il Carro, il Sole, la Ruota, la Folla, il Monaco (Hermit).
