Aha! So you agree that The Sun card stands for "rising" then?
The inner 5 petals, taken in conjunction with the 4 coners of the banner could denote the process of Initiation, which is symbolized by the number Nine. (5+4=9)Frank Hall said:I like the associations of Sun as Father, Child as Son, and Horse as Spirit, but what of the penta-coned bloom in the black square? Isn't this the inner Sunrise of the Spirit as the outer sun ends its cycle and falls? Life lifted out of death? And doesn't the ship on the Nile behind the Horse connect to the Egyptian Book of the Dead, that is, the journey of the soul into the hereafter? (It looks like Theban rock cliffs over the river.) After the Sun has descended, doesn't the soul journey into the beyond, born into the Otherworld?

Damn my Libran ways.Dulcimer said:You can't have it both ways.
That wouldn't be death then.retiredguy said:It is rising for the new life that is going to begin.
This card represents the reality of death. It brings down all and everyone.
