What the card shows

In the waters of life of this Arcanum the Serpent is shown biting its own tail, forming the sign of the Cosmic Mother, the Infinite (0, zero). One finds a woman kneeling upon a tumulus with 3 steps which represents the Arcanum A.Z.F. (waters plus fire equals consciousness).

— Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah, ch. 8

Its esoteric meaning

Arcanum number 8 is Judgement. The 8 is the number of Job; tests and sufferings. The esoteric sense of this is represented by a sword. The number 8 is the number of the Infinite. The vital forces of the Fire of Phlegethon and the Water of Acheron circulate, intertwining in the Ninth Sphere in the heart of the Earth in the form of an eight. The sign of the Infinite is also formed within the spinal column.

— Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah, ch. 8

His synthesis

Justice: The Arcanum of Job “Suffering, Tests, Pain.”
