How Did The Tarot Pack Cross The Road?


Donna Cunningham, astrologer and the inspirational driver behind the Cardinal T-Square Blog-A-Thon, sent me a welcome reminder a week ago that life on earth these days isn't just about hard work, disruption, upset and restriction, despite evidence to the contrary! Oh no, life can be masses of fun too and April is National Humor Month, a great excuse to see and to celebrate the funny side.

Now at first, my Capricorn Sun, ravaged by transits from Saturn and Pluto, was very sceptical, too tired, miserable and heavily burdened to even consider thinking up some funny stuff to post. What on God's good earth is there to laugh at? Not a lot, that's for sure! But then, my Mercury in Sagittarius and Jupiter in Gemini got talking behind my Sun's back, as per usual. They sure do love each other those two, a proper little mutual admiration society all to themselves! But in the end my Sun thought they came up with a couple of good ideas (especially compared to the weird stuff my Venus and Mars in Aquarius came up with, but we won't go there!) and in the end agreed to join in with my merry band of astro-blogging buddies.

So here is the first funny piece, albeit Tarot humour instead of astro-humour, but hey-ho, they made me chuckle and hopefully they'll raise a smile with you too!

Enjoy....

Acknowlegements to the unknown author of these jokes, which were sent to me by 'Me' via the Magic Path social networking site. The Tarot cards pictured are from the widely available Rider-Waite tarot pack. The laughing old man pic is all over the web, but I can't find who to acknowledge it to - if you know, let me know

    Hi CJ, you're right - the Wheel of Fortune, Moon, Sun, Judgement and the World are missing. I'll try and think of a few. How about these:

    Why did the Sun and the Moon cross the Road? There was an eclipse

    Why did the Wheel of Fortune cross the Road? By the turn of a tire.

    How did Judgement cross the Road? After carefully weighing up both sides/

    How did the world cross the Road? It didn't need to, the road was part of the world!

    Lame? Can anyone think of any better ones?
