Description:
A square shaped tarot with an astrological theme. Each card is associated either with one of the 12 zodiacal signs or with one of the 10 planets. The cards associated with the zodiacal signs have the star map of that constellation depicted. The artwork is delighfully detailed and like many Japanese tarots, is influenced primarily by European art rather than having any obvious Japanese resonances. The fool is renamed to 'The Challenger', but the rest of the cards have the conventional names. The cards are in the kind of box characteristic of Japanese tarot packaging and come with a book in a slip case.
