I see, I reflect, I hope
Seven small stars surrounding one large star on the bottle form a “1+7” structure, representing the number seventeen(17) and echoing the card’s numbering. The small stars burst forth from the large star’s bottle, expressing a surge of spiritual awakening. The hands raised high with this “spirituality” signify a moment filled with intellectual and emotional delight, yet one that may neglect the material world.
The ibis on the bottle reflects the ibis on the tree in the original Waite imagery, symbolizing mystery, wisdom, and the transmission of knowledge.
Both the radiance below and the starlight above convey the hope and joy radiated by this card.
