First though, the mere formal organisation of the images;
Cups is the theme here. Again - like another spread we have - as if the Cup grasped in the centre is the Cup magnified on the right. Is the Queen turning away from it? The "Cup" has been conquered and has resumed its normal proportions and is now simply a part of her life?
For some reason from this spread I'm getting microcosm and macrocosm. No idea why; this big Cup, little Cup, The World, The Universe....
The general "drift" of this spread is leftwards. the Queen looks left, the Eagle, the lower left beast (?) Everyone in fact, except the "Evangelist" (? Forgive me, I don't actually know the technical word for thee figures! I think he's an Evangelist)
This is a very odd spread. There is much in it but I'm not sure where the eye rests. There is no firm anchor here. Maybe that means something? What is the focal image? The Queen presumably, simply because she is a fixed person and she is in the centre. Or the Ace because it is big?
I have to say I have long been fascinated by this drape/banner which drops down in the Queen of Cups. You see it reappearing in Convers. Is it the banner or canopy of her throne which has gone out of the picture and now drops back into it? It is a detail I love. It echos the patterns of the Cup in a strange way.
If this were someone and their job, are we seeing someone who has turned their back on emotions for the sake of glory and laurels in their job? And in that glory (see central figure; World) now looks elsewhere?
More later...
