Nostradamus
The deeper meaning in it represents being the emperor in your domain of celestial matters in the pursuit of the godhead.
Externally, this reflects the greatest solid sense of authority, kingly or otherwise in the larger structural construct of society. In that, the reflections of this are within the governments of the self, and its externalised acceptance.
This card represents authority, leadership, and paternity that can be found within oneself. Herein within is the drive and determination to lead and to be in control.
The bigger picture. Long term life envision. People in authority to the querent’s life and emotion. Structures or organisations that govern the querent’s life while they are in harmony with them.
A deeper understanding and integration to ambition and life pursuits. Consolidating a new chapter to life, or possibly buying a new home, or strategic starts and conclusions to vision.
The reverse of this card expresses the loss of control within oneself over any given situation. Here higher powers are at play and you may feel threatened for a lack of authority, or wistful for authority you once had.
Rules and regulations may govern your path, forcing you to conform and obey.
Rigidity, implacable self-righteousness, inflexibility, arrogance, dogma against human feelings.
A need to take responsibility for yourself, to become the ruler of your own life. Getting organised and focused are also indicated by this card.
A coat of quotes and passing poetry
"THERE are two allied powers in man:Knowledge and Wisdom. Knowledge is so much of the truth, seen in a distorted medium, that the mind arrives at by groping.Wisdom what the eye of divine vision sees in the spirit.And Inspiration is a slender river of brightness leaping from a vast and eternal knowledge; it exceeds reason more perfectly than reason exceeds the knowledge of the senses.What men call knowledge is the reasoned acceptance of false appearances. Wisdom looks behind the veil and sees. Reason fixes details and contrasts them.Reason divides, Wisdom marries contrasts in a single harmony.
Sri Aurobindo
- Wisdom, from borrowed knowledge is experience redeeming itself.
"- Sri Aurobindo
