Meaning of the Lotus in the Egyptian Tarot

Card No. 18

The Lotus card is one of the 7 neutral cards belonging to the Egyptian Tarot. This means that, during a divinatory reading, it may prove at once positive and negative; it will all depend on the influence of the cards with which it is combined. This 18th card therefore represents the Lotus, the sacred flower of Egypt, which itself symbolises 4 natural elements, namely Water, Fire, Earth and Air.

On the card, besides the lotus, one can also make out the gate of Horus, which is the symbol of eternal life. The Lotus card embodies a certain desire, one that is not yet ready to be fulfilled. While it urges us to make efforts to break free, it is a sign of great satisfaction for all those women who give life.

❤️ The Lotus Card in Love ❤️

You are in a relationship

As the Lotus card is neutral, it only gives us a direction once it is combined with other cards. But when it comes up on a love-and-relationship question, it is not uncommon for it to reveal signs of weakness within the union.

Thus, it speaks to us of frustration for one of the two partners, who will suffer in silence from an absence of carnal desire on the part of the loved one. We are therefore faced with a relationship that would greatly need to be recharged with amorous energy so as not to stagnate and sink into the boredom that leads straight to a dead end.

You are single

You will have to be careful where you tread, if the Lotus card has come up during your consultation, for it certainly heralds a new encounter, but one that may be distorted, depending on whether the card is influenced by the positive or the negative. As for single mothers, they will go on finding the love they so sorely lacked in nothing but the eyes of their child.

🧠 The Lotus Card in Work 🧠

On the professional level, the Lotus card shows us that there is stagnation in the air, which is never a very good sign when one is at one’s workplace, where everyone ought rather to be active. Without being alarming, the card urges us to step back and take stock of ourselves, and to redouble our efforts and our will, for the troubles encountered do not necessarily come from others. So do not remain waiting, and above all do not lie to yourself.

🧘 Spiritual Interpretation of the Lotus Card 🧘

Printed on the card are 7 lotus flowers. 3 on each side and one larger flower well above the others. 7, like the number that symbolises the 7 musical notes, or the 7 colours of the rainbow. But above all, like the 7 energy chakras that are within each of us.

So of course, the largest lotus, white in colour, embodies the crown chakra, which is that of ultimate fulfilment, the one that allows the soul to fly off towards the illumination proper to Buddhism.
