19-The Lady – Reversed Salem Deck

When reversed, the Sun is still a positive card but presumably to a lesser degree. It may be that something is blocking you from fully experiencing the joy and clarity that is possible at this time. Perhaps your inflated ego is getting in the way; excessive pride is one of the faults of the sign Leo. You may not get the standing ovation you were hoping for.

Keywords Reversed: A lesser degree of the above; also pride, smugness, vanity, egotism, arrogance, unrealistic ambitions, megalomania, delayed success, lack of appreciation.

Key XIX: The Sun
Myths/Archetypes: The Egyptian god Amun-Ra. The Sun god. Apollo. Logos.
Astrology: the Sun (ruler of the Fire sign Leo)
Numerology: 1 (Magician) = 1 + 0 (Wheel of Fortune) = 1 + 9 (the Sun)

When The Lady is reversed you can pretty much take it that life is going well but that’s when life takes us by surprise.  If The Lady is unclear it may help to choose a card from the Major Arcana to provide more insight into what it is The Lady is trying to tell you.  If you had a particular issue in  mind, or want to seek clarification on something else, you can also choose again to get more guidance.

Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Complete Book of Tarot: If you have reached this point in the book, you should have a sense of the origins and history of the tarot, how it developed as a card game in Renaissance Italy and how it spread to France where eventually it became popularized as a means of divination in the eighteenth century. You should also be familiar with the three most popular categories of tarot decks—the Marseille, Waite-Smith, and Crowley-Harris Thoth tarot—and how they differ from so-called oracle and fortune-telling decks.

Tarot Books

Complete Book of Tarot: The Crown—the initial spark of creation. Kether is associated with the primum mobile, and according to some modern astrologers, the planet Pluto. The tarot cards related to the number one are the Magician (I), the Wheel of Fortune (X, 1 + 0 = 1), the Sun (XIX, 1 + 9 = 10 1 + 0 = 1), and the four Aces, representing the pure potential and initial spark of the four elements.

Tarot for Beginners: Reversed, this card can point to hidden agendas on the part of others, or even hidden from yourself in your own subconscious. Either way, be careful about whom you entrust with emotional truths at this time.
