Meaning of Power in Cupid’s Oracle of Love

Card no. 8

Many song and film titles extol the inescapable power that love holds. Thus, from “Power of love” to “Un amour infini”, authors of every kind devote their art to this feeling which is surely one of the strongest one can feel for someone: love, and everything that surrounds it. For love, when it is founded on respect, sharing, sensuality, trust and harmony, is the most effective remedy for staying in good health, and even for multiplying one’s physical strength and mental faculties.

Quite simply because it makes us more alive than ever, ready to move mountains and bring back the moon. But it also acts on the intellect, and so we inevitably become more interesting when sharing our desires and longings. This feeling of power that love gives us, since love is its main holder, is represented on this card by an imposing tree in the middle of a green field under an azure blue sky. This tree, well over a hundred years old judging by its height and its girth, expresses strength and serenity in the face of the many storms it has endured all along its journey.

It is therefore imposing and commands great respect, for it has grown over the centuries and borne the weight of the years while growing finer. On its thick trunk a heart is carved, as lovers the world over have done, and still do, when they swear fidelity to each other for the rest of their days. The mighty hundred-year-old tree is thus the main witness to this declaration of love and sends its energy back to the 2 lovers so that their union may be indestructible. This card is linked to the number 8, which in numerology is the symbol of every solid construction, but also of trust and respect.
