The Ansata Tarot deck is currently available from Tarot Garden, Amazon, US Games Systems, AGM Müller, and other retailers. It is available in both German and English versions. It was designed by Paul Struck as a companion to the book Astrologie und Tarot by Bernd Mertz. The set comes packaged in a vinyl case that opens on the side. The Ansata Tarot is a 22-card Majors only deck, with Strength being 11 and Justice 8 in this deck. The cards are very detailed and complex, most closely associated with Astrology, but contain many esoteric symbols and are loaded with occult symbolism in general. The card backs feature a geometric design with a central image of a two-tone square inside a two-tone circle. When first beginning with the deck you wont be able to tell if the card of upright or reversed until you get used to seeing that particular shape in one direction or the other. After a little while, though, it will become noticeable from the card back whether the card is upright or reversed. The language on the cards is English in both editions. The cards are standard size in some editions and a slightly larger in others, depending on the year they were printed. Shuffling the cards is no
