Premier Data Visualization
This is our premier Data Visualization, an audio/visual representation of Diane’s fascination with Tarot Cards.
Diane has developed emotional feelings about certain tarot suits (see Notable Habits). For example, she strongly dislikes the suit of swords because, she protests, “they always mean something bad.” While her estimation of this suit may be generally accurate, her revulsion to it implies deeper psychological investment: we believe that she subconsciously loathes swords because, in many ways, they represent the condition of her inner psyche. Considering this, it is unsurprising that Diane favors the minor arcana suit of cups above all others. Her desire for an romantic partner coupled with her intuition that “they always mean something good” make the cup suit, which is associated with water, emotions, and love, a kind of pot-of-gold fantasy omen for her, as well as a talisman against the volatility of her disorders.
