Meaning

"I am unconditional love"

Doing what one likes. Establishing unions (joining what was separated). It is the most projective card in the Tarot… the seeker "portrays themselves" when describing it.

It has to do with pleasure and emotional life. That is why it is so complex, so rich in contradictory meanings.

It shows ambiguity and conflict in its negative aspect.
