The Five Universal Shapes
With Tarot Meanings....
Angeles Arrien discovered the connection between the Five Universal Shapes with The Major Arcana.....
I bring you some of the information from The 1988 Los Angeles Symposium Journal
New Thoughts on Tarot ......
The Five Universal Shapes are CIRCLE, THE SQUARE, THE TRIANGLE, THE SPIRAL AND THE EQUIDISTANT CROSS (Plus Sign) ....
Which shape do you prefer? Which shape are you resistant to?
THE CIRCLE-
Process of individuation, independence, totality and wholeness..
"I've got to be me" " Don't Fence Me In."
Need For Space, space is equated with love and trust... The more space you give a person, the more they will be there, less space you give a person who's in a individuation process, the more they'll feel unloved and untrusted, and therefore move away.

TRIANGLE-
Vision, Searcher,
Envisioning, Planning and Seeking
Nature's triangle is the mountain. Humankind's imitation of the mountain is the pyramid or arrowhead... Where do you see your goal. Triangle speaks of being able to see What's needed and What's not working, and can take the organization or the family or the relationship to the next step. The need here is for shared vision. Shared Vision is equated with love and trust. Inventive, futuristic minds. Underlying fear, no more dreams, goals, visions. Extreme process when people live so far in the future they aren't productive in the present. They are so busy involved in goals and visions, they do not get things done in the Now....
