The fire is under control, just as the High Priestess keeps her impulses moderated. The book was locked, but she was able to access its contents.

Two trees of very different essences are behind her, a Flame Tree and a Date Palm. The ocean on the left reflects the moon.

Convergences between the High Priestess and the transition from Aries to Taurus - Going from Yang to Yin. Quieting the impulses. Introversion.
