Card Meaning: Swiftness, dexterity, and force of mind yielding immediate action. A brilliant flash of “eureka!” followed by a flurry of movement. However, with extreme speed comes instability. Proper aim is needed to achieve success, else the project might “hit a wall” and be destroyed by its own inertia.

Qabalistic/Astrological Significance: The influence of Hod and Mercury upon the first decan of Sagittarius. Mercurial wit, alacrity, haste, and possibly impatience applied to warmth and positive energy.
