I never quite understood the art of this card, which leads to confusion in meaning.
Moon in Libra is subtly and nicely emphasized. Book T and Liber Th call it "Peace restored," suggesting the temporary or permanent end of a conflict.
Other Rider-inspired cards show two swords crossing in a truce, sometimes with a dove or a flower between them, to emphasize peace. Waite gives many optimistic meanings like friendship, equipoise, concord in a state of arms.
But popular interpretations of the card suggest blockage, denial, defensiveness, and shielding oneself. But that seems to stem solely from the fact that she is blindfolded. Peace Restored is swapped for putting up walls. Why is she blind? Is she blocking out the world to put herself at ease? Does it somehow relate to the blind 8?
