Q  QUERT �?APPLE

Choice of beauty 

      The Apple is associated with choice. The choice that you have to make may be between several things that all appear very appealing. It may be hard to choose, since they all seem so promising and they all offer an appealing fulfillment. It may not matter which is chosen as long as the choice is made.

      The Apple card represents the choice of beauty, the beauty of life and youthfulness. Linked to this is Avalon, or the magical Apple Land.From the Welsh poem ”Avellenau�?we learn that the bard Merlin secretly revealed to his lord the existence of this orchard. It was born from place to place by the enchanter on all his journeys. The ignorant, however, must not eat of its fruit, for within the Apple is contained a Pythagorean pentagram. Cut it width ways and its secrets are revealed in the shape of its pips. This gave beauty in the judgment of  Paris, to Aphrodite.

      If the card is reversed you must recognize that a choice has to be made. You cannot pursue a close relationship properly if there are others. You cannot live in several places at once however attractive they may be. You cannot develop a talent with your full energy and attention if they are split between more than one. All options open to you can bring beauty and satisfaction, but you must choose between them. When bobbing for apples it is necessary to concentrate on one. Otherwise you will end up with nothing, or an unsatisfying bite from each. Choose one only and you will enjoy its sweetness in full.
