Tarot Meanings of the Bench
It might seem odd to include such a banal feature as the bench in my
symbolic Tarot meanings archives, but it really is a relevant and telling sign.
Why? Because when benches show up in our awareness in a reading, it's a
*ping* to our intuition. It tells us our client is in a state of rest or
contemplation.
Or, depending on surrounding cards, it could indicate your client is due
for some rest and relaxation.
The
Tarot meanings related to the bench revolve around:
Rest
Safety
Waiting
Patience
Assistance
Foundation
Meditation
Regrouping
Contemplation
I
love the symbolism of patience and waiting with the
bench. Almost all of us can recall being on a long, arduous walk and found
ourselves filled with relief at finding a nice spot to sit and relax somewhere
on our path.
The bench in Tarot meanings represents the same kind of relief. In fact,
you may find your client has been going through an arduous life experience and
the bench in his/her cards will reflect a period of contemplation about his/her
direction.
There's more to the Tarot meanings of the bench than just regrouping
ourselves. Visually, we can appreciate the horizontal surface of the bench, and
that expresses a quality of duality. In this light, you may find your client is
"stuck on the horizon" and he/she is contemplating an
"either/or" scenario. Literally, the horizontal symbolism of the
bench translates to mean "I stand on the horizon, do I choose to embrace
the dawn (beginnings) or the dusk (conclusions)."
I can also appreciate the numerology involved with the Tarot meanings of
the bench. Depending upon the deck you're working with, you could be seeing two
supporting legs to the bench or four. If four legs supporting our Tarot bench,
we're dealing with symbolism of foundations, structure, stability and grounding
energies. If two legs, we're dealing with balance, choice, duality and even
opposition. The Tarot meanings you choose in this scenario will depend upon
surrounding cards, and what is revealed to your Inner Vision.
