The seventeen oracle cards
Beyond the seventy-eight, the Lotus deck carries seventeen oracle cards — the five elements of Wu Xing and the twelve animals of the zodiac, painted in ancient ink. Draw the Lotus deck and these come into the pool for a ninety-five card spread.

The Five Elements
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water — the five phases, each a season and a way the year asks you to move.
十二生肖 · the twelve
The Twelve Animals
Rat to Pig — the sixty-year cycle's twelve faces, each carrying its own gift and shadow into a reading.
The oracle cards are unique to the Lotus deck. Switch decks anywhere with the deck picker; the elements and animals only appear when the Lotus deck is in your hands.
