Contemporary designs and astrological associations characterize this 78 card deck from U.S. Games Systems. The pip cards use appropriate but non-standard representations, and are named after their associated elements (fire = wands/sun, water = cups/starfish, air = swords/orbs, earth = pentacles/leaves). The suit symbol is superimposed the appropriate number of times on geometric-shape backgrounds.
The One World Tarot is a deck of computer-generated images that are a «fusion of traditional tarot and modern design» according to the deck creators Crystal Love and Michael Hobbs. This deck also incorporates elements of astrology, numerology and color symbolism. The four suits represent the four elements air, water, earth and fire, and the colors and suit tokens reflect those elements. For example, the suit token for cups (water) is a starfish. The court cards show faces instead of full figures. The same face is repeated for each court card type with only the color changing for each suit. The faces on the prince and princesses are those of smiling faces of children.
The one world tarot deck is a fusion of traditional tarot and modern design, and incorporates astrological, numerological, esoteric, and color symbolism.
Although the exact origins of the tarot still remain a mystery, one thing is certain — that the roots of tarot are astrological in nature, and the cards themselves are pictorial representations of universal energies to which we are all subject.
These universal archetypes are present in all systems of divination and are ultimately the prime factors which compose life as we know it.
Although one need have no prior knowledge of astrology to use this deck, the meanings of the cards are expanded when linked correctly to their astrological counterparts.
As we approach the The Age of Aquarius, I believe it is time for tarot to be refreshed and invigorated with color symbolism and modern design appropriate to The New Age. Yet it must remain linked to the astrological origins of our unwritten past. The essence of tarot remains untouched by time, and its wisdom still reaches us from its symbolic images.
Tarot will guide us, inspire us, and inform us. The mysteries of the psyche will be illuminated when we consult its intuitive wisdom and allow tarot to share the secrets of our souls.
Our paths in this life are determined by our Karma and our fate awaits us like an unknown guest.
To overcome the ego, the separateness of self, and to realize that we are all indeed integral parts of One World and, as such, are equal and interdependent, we may find knowledge and wisdom that will lead us from Matter to Spirit.
Our destinies await us like strangers. Only with awareness can we aspire to find our way in this vast and mysterious universe we call home.
With tarot as our guide and teacher, we can learn to grow and to evolve, for I believe it is our shared destiny to reach enlightenment.
I wish you love and luck on your journey
