GAIA Astrology combines Tarot with the science of the stars. The Rider-Waite Tarot has its origin in a set of cards designed in 1100 CE in Fez, Morocco. Here, when the dark ages were descending over Europe, many of the brightest minds of the time convened to put into brief coded form a synthesis of the ancient wisdom. That they succeeded is evidenced among other things by the incredible congruity between the Tarot cards by number and the periodic table of elements by atomic number. The correspondence is undeniable to anyone who may look into this relationship. So Tarot and Astrology cannot be disjoined - they are a common system with shared roots.
