Meaning of the Obelisk in the Egyptian Tarot

Card No. 9

This is why the Papyrus card symbolises communication and exchanges with others. During a reading

It is once again a neutral card of the Egyptian tarot, which can therefore herald good or bad omens during a divinatory reading. Everything will depend on the other cards with which this one is complemented. This card thus depicts an obelisk, that monolithic monument raised towards the sky, which was found at the entrance to the temples in ancient Egypt.

The obelisk embodies the sun god Athoum-Krépi, found in Egyptian mythology. When this card appears in a reading, it reveals the notion of courage and spiritual strength in the face of any danger. Moreover, it can also reveal social-climbing intentions, pointing the finger at the pretension and the outsized ego of some.

❤️ The Obelisk Card in Love ❤️

You are in a relationship

The Obelisk card is not a very good sign in love when it is drawn. Indeed, it often heralds adulteries and sexual relations with little future.

The obelisk itself can sometimes be likened to an erect male sex, which inevitably leads to desires and sexual urges that can be as intense as they are violent. It is the card of carnal passion and of the satisfied physical act, which go beyond the loving feelings that one can share within a couple’s relationship.

You are single

If you come across the Obelisk card as a single person, you will have to get it into your head that you may well remain so for a while yet. For it will only announce passing relationships to you, where the sexual act will certainly satisfy a few urges, but which will in no way bring you the person sought to share a piece of life with, just the 2 of you.

Be careful, then, not to fall for the deceitful trap of talkative people, pretentious ones, who are likely to disappoint you with fine words that never turn into deeds.

🧠 The Obelisk Card in Work 🧠

Nor will it be one of the best cards to land on from a professional point of view. Without being truly negative, since it may very well announce personal or team satisfactions, the Obelisk card often reveals to us disappointment towards someone in our professional circle.

Someone whose character will prove very authoritarian, and sometimes self-centred, with whom your relations will become strained, for you will notice their lies and their greed. Lastly, beware of the sudden expenses that could come to clutter your path.

🧘 Spiritual Interpretation of the Obelisk Card 🧘

The obelisk card thus symbolises the Egyptian god of the sun, with its mighty monuments pointing their pyramidal tips towards the sky. That same god was often depicted accompanied by a scarab, pushing with the tips of its front legs an ochre ball of earth.

This insect symbolised courage as well as strength of mind, ready to help us accomplish the unthinkable to reach a precise goal. Spirituality is therefore associated here with a strength of character able to move mountains, as long as one does not succumb to the siren songs of self-satisfaction.
