About :

XX – The Aeon

The Aeon is the trump of time and the changes dictated by the times, it addresses finality and destruction as well as liberation, hope and redemption.

The Aeon is the symbol for the Rise of Phoenix, it stands for a time of insight, the true understanding of the circle of life, of growing and fading.  The card tells us that we should leave our ‘frog perspective’ and watch the things from a higher level, that the time has come to face the new, that we need a good overview to build our ‘Utopia’.

In older decks the Aeon is called ‘Judgment’, dealing with resurrection and redemption. The limitation of this view is the involuntary association to a ‘court of law’, to the Christian concept of a ‘Resurrection’ where the pious may rise and the rest must burn.

Although trump XX indeed does imply a judgement, it wouldn’t be appropriate to restrict this meaning with such a superstitious simplification.

Drive: Birth, renewal, transformation, the realization of Utopia

Light: Knowledge of coherences, widened perception and the liberation of hidden abilities

Shadow: wrong identification, self-deception

Keywords: good judgment, open to criticism, critical self-analysis

Advice: You have been invited to break your “Frog perspective” to take things from a higher level. As you recognize longer time spans and other relationships (which you are increasingly ready to do), you will tend to become more aware of things in your own existence: to see without estimates.

Question: What methods will you follow to gain deeper insight and greater wisdom?

Suggestion: Meditate on the following statement: Belief in injustice and unhappiness is a sign of ignorance.

Revelation: God is the Unknown, the Mysterious.  The more I know that I do not know, the closer I am to the Divine.

E

Affirmation: I trust myself in this moment
