The Star: hope, inspiration, positivity, faith, renewal, healing, rejuvenation
This is. FINALLY. Finished. I can't express how much this particular one fought me, this is like the fifth composition I tried that I didn't fully hate by the end.
With this, Sparrow's tarot card series is finished! I'm so happy I was able to actually complete an entire series of drawings, and I've learned a lot along the way!

(during a Tarot Club meeting)
Gehrman: Today I found out that apparently if you kill someone in international waters on an unregistered boat then throw the body overboard, they can't trace it back to any one legal system so you can't be prosecuted for their murder.
Tarot Club: ...so what exactly did you do today?

0. The Fool - Lark and Sparrow
[Upright: Beginnings, possibilities, impulsiveness, innocence, a free spirit
Reversed: Apathy, hesitation, a faulty choice, doldrums, recklessness]
Lark and Sparrow are the most reckless and impulsive kids (besides maybe Paeden). At the beginning of season one they are very much the same kid, but by the end have very much become their own person, for better or for worse. Lark especially applies to the reversed meaning of this card, having made a decision he has come to regret many times over.

Jack Harkness' Tarot Reading in Torchwood S2EP12: "Fragments"
Tumblr media
Listen, I've been DYING to talk about this scene and yesterday on call with @seenonacid I finally figured out what it all means.
Disclaimer: I'm not a tarot expert, I'm just deranged about Jack Harkness and I like tarot readings.
Let's start with figuring out what type of spread this is exactly. I couldn't find any with only 6 cards that looked anything like this, so I landed on it being a modified version of the Celtic Cross Spread:
Tumblr media
Now, that means the card representing the things that are behind him is The Tower, which represents disaster, destruction, upheaval, trauma, sudden change and chaos.
Tumblr media
This definetely corresponds with both him losing his place with Rose and the Doctor as well as his ability to travel time at all (because of his wriststrap not working properly anymore). The biggest changes are his immortality and him now having to walk the slow path, waiting until he can meet the Doctor again.
The card that represents him is one that does so quite literally, depicting him in armor: the Jack of Swords (aka the Knight of Swords). The Knights keywords are assertive, direct, impatient, intellectual, daring, focused, perfectionistic and ambitious, all of which definetely fit Jack as a character quite well.
Tumblr media
I like the way the card is described on labyrinthos.co: "Once the knight sets forth towards his goals, there is absolutely no stopping him. He doesn’t see - and he doesn’t care - about any upcoming challenges. " I also really love the way that him being the Knight of Swords supports the soldier motif his character has had since his first appearance in Doctor Who.
The card that describes what is before him is a bit ominous as well, Three of Swords. It represents heartbreak, separation, sadness, grief, sorrow, upset, loss, trauma and tears. Compared to the Tower, this card isn't as lifechanging and negative though, the type of grief it describes is one that simply comes with being alive.
Tumblr media
It definetely matches Jack and his immortality, because, as Torchwood shows as well, loss, seperation and trauma are constants in his life. Whenever he gets knocked down he gets back up though, which is what Three of Swords symbolizes.
I assume that the card in the bottom right represents the people influencing Jack, because it's The World, a card that symbolizes completion, achievement, fulfilment, sense of belonging, wholeness, harmony and travel.
Tumblr media
I assume it refers to the person that influences Jack the most, even in his abscence: the Doctor. He brought Jack this sense of belonging and fulfilment that the card refers to and changed him into the more caring and self-sacrifing person he is in Torchwood.
Above it is The Moon, which represents illusion, intuition, uncertainty, confusion, complexity, secrets and the unconscious. This card shows Jack's hopes and fears.
Tumblr media
It's meaning of uncertainty especially makes sense, considering Jack is newly immortal with no one to help him figure out what happened to him or how to cope. This uncertainty never goes away, even after meeting the Doctor again so many years later.
The last card is the outcome: Ace of Cups. It symbolizes love, new feelings, emotional awakening and creativity.
Tumblr media
I love this card as the final part of the spread because it's so optimistic compared to the rest of it, yet it rings incredibly true. After everything, Jack did find love again in form of the Torchwood team and will probably continue doing so until he eventually finds his end. The eventual outcome of everything horrible that happens to him is always love.

TAROT The Major Arcana
Key 13: Death
General meaning of this card: Change, Rebirth, Renewal
Interpretation: Renewal, transformation. Birth of new ideas, new possibilities. Destruction of the old, followed by the birth of the new.
Reversed: Temporary stagnation; tendency to inertia. Death of a political figure; political upheaval, revolution. Disaster.
Another card where the subject should be obvious, but I again didn’t go with the obvious choice of Klaus and instead went with Ben - whose arc fits the card meaning better. Hope you enjoy!

The Three of Swords: rejection, betrayal, hurt and discouragement
I was saying a little while ago that I'd give a lot to be able to emulate the tarot style DAI uses, so eventually I decided to actually try it and practice. This is my first attempt with my KC, Sparrow!
I plan on doing one for each act--this would be Act 1! I'm hoping to see improvement as I do the rest lol
Act 1 | Act 2 | Act 3 | Act 4 | Act 5

Any Tarot Club member except Alger and Cattleya: How do I deal with my enemies?
Gehrman: Kill them.
Tarot Club member: That's a bit extreme, I was hoping for a more passive solution.
Gehrman: Kill them only a little?
