The notes for this card say "May your every act be an act of love and adoration. May every action be the fiat of a God or Goddess."
The card art refers to Egyptian Gods.
We see Nuit, Egyptian Sky Goddess who leans over the Earth God, Geb, who is her husband and brother. She is known as "Our Lady of the Stars" and much is written about her if you wish to dig deeper.
You are probably familiar with the Judgement card and the traditional Christian imagery of the dead rising from the graves as the angel blows his horn.
This is a similar message but using Egyptian gods. It is about rebirth.
The other figures in the card represent Horus, as a child and as an adult ruler on the throne. Horus' father, Osiris was killed by Set, who wished to rule, but Horus was protected by his mother Isis. Horus eventually grew to take power and Set was banished.
Horus' reclamation of the throne is seen as a triumph and a redemption.
The message here is that you may feel adrift and that you have lost your way or missed your time, but that isn't the case. Timing is everything and you must have faith in yourself.
It's especially appropriate today on the solstice with the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction. As The Beatles sang, "All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise."
Now is the time to ride the wave. We can always change our lives through force of Will but the Universe has a Will of its own. If you're going to cross the ocean in a fishing boat you would be wise to understand the tides and currents. Leaving at one time will be a relatively easy journey while leaving at another time will almost certainly end in disaster.
And while you were waiting, judging yourself, perhaps too harshly, you should have taken the time to know yourself. Now it is the time to re-examine yourself with loving eyes.
Like a tree that survived a forest fire, parts of you may have been burned away, and the rotten limbs have fallen, but life still flows within and it is time to reach out your branches to the sky and sink your roots deeper into the earth and grow.
The timing is right for big changes and astrology tells us they're going to be coming whether we're ready or not. Do not be afraid. What you have suffered has not ended you. It has shown you what you can endure.
And a part of you that has been sleeping, dreaming, is now awakening and ready to put those dreams into reality.
This truly is the dawn of a new age and forget what you think that means. It's not all flute music and herbal teas, not that there's anything wrong with that.
The point is it's really new and that means that walking around in the same old circles like a horse on a carousel isn't really going to get it. Take stock of who you are and what you know and make the most of this opportunity with self-love and acceptance.
