The twenty-eighth card of the Tarot is associated with the first ten degrees of Aries- Mars in Aries. This area is linked with the astrological new year, and Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. Of all the fire sign cards, this one may be the most internalized energy. It’s the place within where the seed of desire germinates. It’s reflection. Decisions remain to be made how to best direct the life force energy. Once a path is chosen and committed to, signs of physical birth or manifestation can begin to show up. This stage is in the near future and is being progressed toward. It can be sensed, but there’s a feeling of limbo and contemplation. All twos carry sensitivity and gentleness, consideration of others, which should also be applied to the self. There is no need to rush any action. Sit with the possibilities. Feel out which generates the most excitement.
Savory symbolizes interest and heart’s desire. It’s linked to Mercury (dualistic + dry/hands, arms, shoulders, lungs, nervous system, brain). Savory can increase appetite and be an aphrodisiac. It’s also used to treat sore throat, coughs, bronchitis, colic and digestive problems. Its essential oils have anti-fungal, antiseptic and antibacterial properties.
