All excellent interpretations.
The first time I saw a version of this card, I immediately thought of Christ and his Sacrifice. I was prompted to write because Plenum spoke of the existential despair he experienced yesterday. Christ experienced that in a profound way in the garden, the night before he died.
I really connect with Christ energy through many lifetimes. it is an energy of Sacrifice and leading others to freedom, out of oppression which is the second coming of Christ. The Sacrifice as taught in dogma is not the true sacrifice, the true Sacrifice is in becoming seemingly finite, human, impermanent. It is a sacrifice of becoming veiled, to our true nature as Sparks of the Creator. We lose our understanding of ourselves as perfect and whole. We enter into a world that has many expressions that are contrary to our true nature as loving, powerful, compassionate, Light-beings. We believe we are unworthy of our true inheritance and birthright as children of the Creator. That is the sacrifice. It is a sacrifice that we all make, as we are all sons and daughters of the Creator.
It is interesting to see the pillars with vines and fruit growing around them. I used to have a recurring dream as a child, of Jesus in a throne with vines and flowers growing around the throne. It was very much like a combination of Emperor/ Empress cards now that I reflect back.
I like how you phrased it, Plenum, " spiritual gravity". Surely we are living in times when the spiritual gravity is increasing. It is a time to help others out of their oppression and lead them to freedom.
