Italian-born American-raised artist David Palladini released the Aquarian Tarot deck in 1970, when he was just 24-years-old. It is comforting, supportive, and also allows for subtle breakthroughs to be made without showing off. I have a lot of different Tarot decks, but this artwork was just too interesting and the smaller bridge size makes it stand out from my other decks. Many of the cards have very evocative touches, such as the waving grasses and the distant flying birds in the 5 of Cups.

You’ll notice that the images on the Aquarian Tarot cards seem to be zoomed in, when compared to traditional decks like the Rider Waite. Of all of them, I’ve found the Aquarius to be the most satisfying as a mini-deck because most of the images are from a ‘close-up’ perspective, making it easier to read every detail at the smaller size (the Morgan-Greer deck which came out in 1979 had a similar approach, is also available in a tin, and consequently also works well at this size, but it’s a little ‘over-the-top’ for my taste). This deck is very emotive - there's a strong sense of feeling that emanates from these cards, and it is often that feeling, rather than the imagery depicted, that informs my reading with them.

The art deco/art nouveau revivalist 1960’s-1970’s design which was fashionable at the time with slightly ‘psychedelic’ colouration (this deck was first published in 1970) is very much ‘of it’s time’ but thankfully it was executed by the Italian-American artist David Palladini with elegance, respect for tarot traditions and good taste.
