Hmmmmm! Now you have all got me thinking! If the King was associated with Leo, a lion would make sense .... but apparently it is associated with Aries. The sun rising up over the earth, I would be more inclined to attribute to the page, purely on sequential ground.
A crab with a sun or a lemon over it .... hmmmmm ... is this a case of, out of the mouths of babes? (giggle)
Hi light2000,
I have never heard of the necklaces representing prisoners and submission ... it makes heaps of sense to me. The Empresses necklace is made of the planets, and thus she is bound to the earth and it's satellites (metaphorically speaking), and any King, is bound to and by the needs of his people.
I think that I will get one of those monster size RWS and have a really good look at it (says she who is half blind ... hmmmmm!)
Thanks
