Astromancy: George Muchery and The Astrological Tarot

Case : 297
George Muchery (1892-1981) was an astrologer, palmist, journalist, and founder of Γ‰ditions du Chariot. We knew very little about his personal life, except his famous astrology books written during 100 years of his life. The most important contributions in tarot is the giant guide Tarot Astrologique (Astrological Tarot), published by his founding edition in 1927, in which he introduced Astromancy or the theory of astrology applicable in Tarot. One year later, he publish A non-Tarot cartomantic system using astrological symbolism for its foundation, under the same name with his book, Jeu de Tarot Astrologique (Astrological Tarot deck), designed by artist Henri Armengol. This one is the first tarot deck based totally on astrology, that shows how a study of the astral chart can be combined with divination by cards to provide very specific personal predictions, with the illustration of the sign of the Zodiac, the Ascendant, the Moon’s Nodes, the Part of Fortune and the Planets.
