Barbieri Zodiac Oracle Review
Barbieri Zodiac Oracle
by Barbara Moore and Paolo Barbieri
26 Cards
This widely used foundational oracle deck features cards representing the 12 zodiac signs, ruling planets, and elemental signs. These cards are frequently showcased during YouTube and live readings to indicate the sign being read for, and they are also utilized for clarification to identify specific energies during a reading.
The deck is packaged in a slim paper box, with cards that are slightly wider than the average size.
The zodiac cards showcase stunning, vibrant artwork that blends traditional zodiac symbols with a mix of realism and fantasy. The imagery is rich and creative, with each sign featuring a human-like figure or face intricately woven into the form or environment that represents its zodiac symbol.
The deck also includes ruling planets, each illustrated with elements of personification. The image of Venus, the Goddess of Love, is particularly captivating—her figure is posed alluringly, exuding an inviting and open demeanor that beckons engagement. Mars, the God of War, is depicted in full battle attire, wielding a lance and shield, with a formidable headpiece crowned by sharp blades, embodying his fierce and powerful nature.
Here we see the four elements—Fire, Water, Earth, and Air—each brought to life through personified illustrations. Notably, each element card showcases a female figure, beautifully embodying the essence of the element. With its stunning imagery, this deck stands out and offers versatility in its use. I highly recommend it.
