The image on this card is a barn owl standing on a sword with the brightly-coloured starry night behind her.
There are 7 stars (7 is often a lucky number, it is known as a number associated with the divine, it is the number of planets traditionally (when I grew up anyway), and in numerology a 7 person is a seeker of truth.)
Owls are often seen as standing for wisdom and solitary life (they hunt alone). They silently swoop down on their prey without warning.
The owl is associated with Athena, goddess of wisdom (among other things including justice and war).
For me, swords are air, which is about thoughts and can be communication.
And the daughter is like a page, who I often consider to be a student, or young person in that first glow of finding out about the world.
This card seems to stand for someone in need of knowledge or answers, which is how I read it when it came up in a recent reading. Though I usually think of the knights as the ones actively going after the goal of knowledge, this daughter is in the position of receiving it, perhaps in a more passive way.
What do you guys think?
