What the card shows

In the waters of life are two triangles; the positive, and the negative. In the middle section is a woman who is watering the earth with the two elixirs (masculine and feminine). Upon her head is a lotus flower indicating her developed chakras. In the upper part shines the eight-rayed star of Venus indicating that after the Initiations of Fire come those of Light.

Its esoteric meaning

The hieroglyph of Arcanum number 17 is the radiant star and eternal youth. In this Arcanum a naked woman appears who sprinkles the vital fluid of Universal Life which comes from two vessels; one of gold and one of silver. If we carefully study the esoteric content of this Arcanum we discover perfect Alchemy. We need to work with the gold and the silver, with the Sun and the Moon in order to incarnate the eight-pointed star, the Morning Star.

His synthesis
