Greetings to all who visit!
10 tarot decks took root in my chest, before there were many more, but with the rest I did not find mutual understanding and, in general, a response in my soul.
The heroine of the review is an absolutely stunning deck of unprecedented beauty with the gentle girlish name Romantic Tarot. It seems to me that it was precisely because of the discreet name that I did not pay attention to this amazing deck of pictures.
It is quite obvious from the name that these cards are themed. It is unlikely that a question about business will be answered with the help of this gentle deck.
But the theme of love, relationships, friendship, family, intrigue and secrets is perhaps the most sought after in our lives. And nothing human is alien to us.
In my preferences, I strive only for high-quality Tarot manufacturers, to which I include the Italian publishing house Lo Scarabeo. All my favorites belong to the brush of this publisher, with the exception of Osho Zen Tarot.
Also, when choosing a deck, I pay attention to the back of the cards, I don’t know why, but for me the reverse side of the card plays the same important role - to bring aesthetic pleasure to my eyes.
Look what a beauty!
In general, to be honest, love moods blow from the deck, and not only love in a positive sense: there are a lot of rejected love on the cards, and love for money, and temptations, and cruel natures. The cards are very sociable, if I may say so.
I ordered them invariably on Ozone. And I'm lucky that my deck is made in Italy and not in our domestic branch "Avvalon". Often, the quality is vastly different.
The box was carefully soldered, everything came intact, inside, again, a sealed deck along with instructions in foreign languages. The Russian leadership was invested separately.
I really want to note the phenomenal quality of these cards! Amazing drawing of details, no even the slightest errors! The cards themselves are made of thick coated cardboard, very similar to plastic, smooth and resilient. And I can’t help but mention this famous flavor of Lo Scarabeo decks! The smell of printing ink, but it's something incredibly delicious, I really can't put it down. Over the years, the smell fades, leaving only a light aroma-reminder.
The edging of the cards is very delicately drawn.
The plots are very carefully worked out, every detail matters, you just need to learn see.
In this deck, the creator decided to break the suits into 4 great cities: Paris, Venice, Vienna, Rome.
The plots of Wands unfold in Paris, Cups - in Venice, Swords - in Vienna, Pentacles - in Rome.
This is the first time I see such an artistic technique, and I was completely delighted with it!

However, this deck is not fully classical, despite the presence of a clear structure developed by the author of the deck, and images of arcana specially written for this structure.

3. INTRODUCTION
Every practicing tarologist sooner or later notices one indisputable fact: most of the questions coming from querents at a tarologist’s appointment are in one way or another somehow connected with their personal lives - family relationships, the prospect of dating, love and sexual relationships, the psychology of relationships and etc. All the questions asked regarding this huge direction simply cannot be listed, just as it is not possible to list all the Tarot decks that have appeared over the past decades on the topic of love and relationships. Each of them has its own "zest", its strong side, the key that opens the mystical door to the world of answers to love questions. So what is the difference between the Romantic Tarot and all these undoubtedly noteworthy decks? First of all, incredible elegance and grace, sensuality and sophistication, luxury of images and a variety of themes, duality and intriguing plots... This deck presents us with images of the past that have survived to this day and contain the boundlessness of tenderness and passion, rage and destruction, love and forgiveness, embarrassment and shame. In general, the Romantic Tarot is as many-sided as love itself! As, however, many-sided and delightful "cities of love" depicted on the cards of this deck - Paris, Venice, Vienna, and Rome.
With the help of this book, I do not just invite you to walk with me through the romantic Europe of the Belle Epoque, captured in the cards by the Italian deck artist - Giulia Massaglia, but I invite you to plunge into the secrets of love with all its diversity of manifestations. However, do not think that this deck is only suitable for sorting out feelings or relationships. The Romantic Tarot is written according to the canons of the Tarot in principle, and although it is not fully classical, echoes of the classics are found every now and then in many arcana of the deck, both in similar images and additional inclusions of images of classic cards in the plot of the arcana.
Also, in addition to the beloved sphere of interpersonal relationships, work and business, the Romantic Tarot works excellently both in making predictions for the future and in analyzing the past, it will help you understand how people fit together at different levels of interaction, and reveal the causes of personal problems in the life of the questioner. Listening to the soft but persistent voice of the deck, the questioner will be able to find answers to many of his questions, and specially selected author's layouts with descriptions of real examples for working with the Romantic Tarot will help you most accurately understand what the deck wants to say to you.
4. Analysis of the Major and Minor Arcana
XXI-World
Your burden does not pull
Old Russian proverb
Plot
On a giant golden globe, lying like a heavy burden on the backs of a man and a woman, a smiling boy in a blue school uniform sits freely. Looking dreamily in front of him, enthusiastically admiring the blue skies with birds flying in fluffy clouds, with one hand he lightly holds a large red heart, like a toy in which he has already lost interest, and with the other he rests on the surface of a radiant sphere. The boy does not pay attention at all to the incredible efforts with which his parents hold the most valuable treasure for them, and takes his current position for granted.
Bending on opposite sides of a huge ball, a man and a woman, squatting down, are trying with all their might to keep it in a comfortable state for the child. The woman's hair is disheveled, the olive-colored dress has fallen from her shoulders, but she does not seem to notice external troubles. She, like her partner in a gray-blue suit, who put aside his top hat, knelt down and was completely immersed in an important action, does not care about appearance. Both of them see absolutely nothing and no one in front of them. And only while still holding each other's hands, the partners are sure that each of them is not alone in their hard work, and the inspiring laughter of their precious child gives the realization that all the difficulties have not been passed in vain.
Additional Information

Two faceless bronze Atlanteans hold a gilded globe on their shoulders, with Fortuna balancing on it with a gilded sail in her hands, playing the role of a weather vane and obeying only gusts of wind that are not subject to anyone, changeable, like the goddess of happiness herself.

Most often, we are talking about the impossibility to live separately / divorce, even in the absence of any warm feelings due to the presence of a common minor child. However, the conception / bearing of a child can also become a super-goal, depleting the material and moral side of a couple's life, killing romance and sexuality in a relationship, despite the possible support of each other.

"To a child": Do not go beyond what is permitted, the sun shines for everyone in this world. Respect not only yourself, but also those who help you in life.
"Parents" - You take on too much, do not overstrain. Try to alternate work and rest, do not drive yourself into a framework.
Six of Pentacles
I used to be a young muse
Met in the sublunar side,
And inspiration flew
From heaven, uninvited, to me ...
(c) V. Zhukovsky.
Plot
In the Roman marketplace of Piazza Navona, under the seething Fountain of the Four Rivers, the city artist passes a roll of an album sheet to a girl posing for him. In front of the artist himself, dressed in a suit and hat in shades of green and brown, another unfinished sketch of a portrait lies on an easel, and next to it are a sketchbook with brushes and paints and a small stool. He himself is staring at a smiling girl in a simple light green, with shades of pink and white, dress, frozen in front of him in a specific pose. Apparently, having come to the market for groceries, the girl could not resist the artist’s attractive offer to receive a portrait for agreeing to pose for a bit and fulfills her “duty” with pleasure, lifting her thick brown hair with one hand and revealing the seductive forms of the face and neck to the painter’s gaze, and with the other − holding a basket of tomatoes and pasta.
Ignoring this unusual couple, the “market life” of Rome continues to go on as usual: next to it, on the one hand, there is a tray with kitchen utensils, with a smiling saleswoman bustling inside it. On the other side, there are boxes of fruits that look like apples. An endless stream of buyers and onlookers moves through the crowded Piazza Navona, each with its own purpose, but nothing prevents the newly minted model and experienced artist from immersing themselves in the creation of a new beautiful masterpiece.
Additional Information
The plot of the map is inspired by the sculpture Fountain of the Four Rivers (also called Aesop's Marble Tale), created in the mid-17th century by the Italian architect and sculptor Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini. This unique composition is located in the center of the Roman Piazza Navona, which, since the 15th century, has been the site of the city market, festive fairs, carnival processions, meetings of artists and musicians.
The fountain is a large round pool filled with healing water; the rock growing out of the pool sheltered in its bosom the deities of the four great world rivers of the Danube, Ganges, Nile and Rio de la Plata, symbolizing Europe, Asia, Africa and America. The sculptures serve as the basis for a sixteen-meter Egyptian obelisk, which is in the center of the composition and plays a dominant role in this ingenious masterpiece by Bernini, embodying the principle of balance.
Giulia Massaglia, in her own style, depicted on the map a part of the Fountain of the Four Rivers, where the god of the La Plata river, with a grimace of horror on his face, covers many coins with his body, thus symbolizing the wealth of America that she could give to Europe (translated from Spanish, La Plata means "Silver River").

Warning: not everything is calculated in money, but cooperation cannot be successful if certain norms and rules are not followed, which, among other things, also include appropriate remuneration for work. And if you cannot adequately evaluate the work, it is better to entrust this matter to an appropriate specialist (accountant, economist, lawyer, etc.).
