Comparative Tarot

This card shows a woman with golden hair dressed in red robes holding a wand vertically with both hands. Her head is slightly bent downward and her eyes appear to be closed as if she is in deep thought. Although she is using both hands, it appears as if she is holding it loosely as if she is contemplating whether she needs the energy of this wand. The other six wands are firmly rooted in the ground and standing straight. This suggests to me that she has plenty of energy in reserved although, through her expression, she appears to be tired from all the obstacles she has overcome in getting to this place. However, she is holding that one wand which says she knows that there will be other 'battles' to fight and she will be ready when they come. Another thought that just came to me is that she is 'pacing herself' knowing that she needs to keep energy in reserve to overcome future struggles.

The red robes suggest that she has the passion to reach her goals. She strikes me as a very methodical person whose rivals don't realize that she is very strong and passionate about her goals. She will overcome all obstacles and reach her goals.

Book Meanings:

Prayer: Help me see where my energy is best used. Keep me from wasting energy on matters that are inconsequential or out of my control.
