What do the cards have in store?

In preparation for Art Basel in Miami Beach, I have consulted the tarot and called upon the ineffable energies of the universe to show me the past, present and future for four types of visitor: artists, collectors, dealers and critics. Today’s predictions focus on the collectors.

Their journey begins with Judgement, a card that depicts an angel blowing a horn and raising a group of people to their feet. This tells me that something transpired in the collectors’ recent past that required them to take decisive action in a public forum.

We continue to the present with the Knight of Cups, a man confidently riding a horse towards a river. This tells me that the imagination of the collectors will be captured by a new interest, which they will confidently pursue.

Finally, we come to the future with the Eight of Swords, a depiction of a bound and blindfolded figure surrounded by swords stuck in the ground. This tells me that collectors will feel a great pressure to conform, leading to frustration with their situation. This should be resisted, as continuing to follow their instincts will lead them towards great personal satisfaction.
