- Alchemy, turning one thing into another
- You are as ready as you are going to be
- The path to glory
Turning one situation into another, and being further along than you think. If you have been waiting to feel ready, you are as ready as you are going to get.
The thing most people miss on this card is the path in the background with the crown at the end of it. That is the path to glory, and it is a crown he could go and claim right now. We think Temperance and we think patience, being temperate, not rushing into things. Fine, that is in there. But he could step onto that path today and there is really nothing left for him to change first. Is that traditional tarot? No. I am not traditional. A lot of the time what I think this card is actually saying is that you have been patient enough. You have been trying to turn a situation around, and now it is time to start the journey.
You’re ready and the path is open. Start walking it.
