Holy cow. I clicked on this because something led me to it synchronistically, and this card has been coming up for me a lot lately, in a way I find mystifying.
In all my years of studying tarot, I do sometimes look at this card and think about reincarnation and the resolution of past-life karma... but NEVER have I thought about this fact that you've just stated so succinctly. And your examples are beautiful.
This has really spoken to me. Maybe it's something for me to contemplate about what this card is doing lately in my life.
Thank you.
