Buckle of Isis
The Buckle of Isis upon which this card is based, was a carving that was said to represent a womb. And the emotions and meanings that are attached to it convey the same message. Yes, if you want success (in whatever form that takes for you) then you will be able to achieve it, but there will be a price to pay. It represents fidelity and fertility, and growth with a sacrifice.
It suggests growth and abundance in anything – investments, family, money, business – but it acknowledges that with such abundance, there is typically a price to pay. Be it in energy, or time missed with loved ones, or health problems due to overwork. It means that you can’t get to what you want without putting in some effort. And bear in mind that it might be quite a significant amount of effort, depending on what it is that you desire.
Today, are you willing to do what you’ve got to do to get what you want to get?
