La Papesse and La Lune: Still waters run deep. One feels how much is happening behind the utter stillness of La Papesse's facade.
Lemperetrise and Le Soleil: The sun shines down on the fertile earth. The spirits of her future children are near her.
Oh dear, I just realized I mixed up the order of the cards--those darned additive Roman numerals! So La Papesse should have been paired with Le Soleil and Lemperetrise with La Lune. I liked what I found in the pairs as written so am writing an additional post rather than editing the first one. Okay, here goes:
La Papesse and Le Soleil: Now I feel a laser-like solar force in the intellectual powers of La Papesse, as she sits with her book in her lap.
Lemperetrise and La Lune: Lemperetrise is the "unruly" side of the nobility. She isn't really in charge, so she can be the voice of all the things the king can't afford to be associated with, like sea creatures and howling at the moon. She's the quintessential woman, so all the associations of femininity with the moon are there--monthly cycles, changing moods, unarticulated emotion, etc.
