Air is of course, related to the astrological air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), and has a lot of the same traits – Like actual Air itself, the Air signs hold strong traits of action, ideas, and movement. They are the “winds of change.” Invisible to the eye, but if a gust of air energy is directed at you, you move.
The actual definition of this specific card in the Cartouche is a little different. It speaks of intellect, travel, communication and speed. There’s a strong link with commerce here, as well. So if you’ve chosen Air to represent your emotions, it’s likely that you need to allow them to blow through you. Air is the communicator and the mover of energies. It moves matters along and it blows away any cobwebs that might be hanging around. Air is also associated with the speed of thought and therefore with the retention of knowledge.
Air is representative of change. Like Air, you can choose to blow away any cobwebs that happen to be lying around. And you will be able to grasp the implications of any situation before the other person in the conversation has even finished their sentence. You just need to be sure that you’re not jumping any guns by filling in blanks that aren’t actually there.
Air is a card that is linked to thought and clarity. You already know the answer, you just need to sit quietly enough to focus and hear it.
Air appearing for you here would underline a desire for speed and movement towards your goals. If this card appears in juxtaposition to something like the heavy and fixed Earth energy, then it suggests frustration is one of the energies that you’ll need express.
