IMMORTALITY
Regeneration – Legacy
Presumption – Non-acceptance
At the center of the card, an ancient and mysterious jellyfish floats in the water: not a mythological monster, but Turritopsis dohrnii, the “immortal jellyfish,” capable of cyclic regeneration and of escaping deterioration. Its presence becomes a symbol of the human desire to endure, to leave a trace, to defy time. The card explores both the individual fear of wrinkles, death, and the passage of time, and the collective presumption of wanting to escape the natural flow of life. In the jellyfish’s light, what ends nourishes what continues, and awareness of a virtuous inheritance brings hope and a deep sense of permanence. In shadow, however, the pursuit of the illusion of eternity can turn into obsession and burden, rather than value and continuity.
Therefore, dear person, if your subconscious has chosen this card, it may be trying to tell you that:
If the card speaks of you – Light
Your actions and creations contain a seed that will outlive your present. Every virtuous gesture, word, or work leaves a living trace in time, weaving threads of life that continue beyond your physical presence.
Questions for you
– What part of you is already becoming inheritance?
– In what way are you regenerating life around you?
– Where do you see your seed continuing to grow even without your direct presence?
If the card speaks of you – Shadow
You may be chasing an illusion of eternity, trying to endure at all costs through control, manipulation, or rejection of the natural flow of time. Fear of wrinkles, death, and aging risks turning into obsession.
Questions for you
– Are you trying to escape endings instead of welcoming them as transformation?
– Where is your fear of time and death becoming obsessive?
– In which situations does your presumption risk distancing you from the natural flow of life?
If the card speaks of the world – Light
Around you, the fabric of time is renewing itself: actions, memories, creativity, and gestures of those around you leave fertile traces. There is regeneration, and what is born now will become memory and nourishment for the future.
Questions for you
– What in today’s world truly deserves to be remembered?
– What testimony are you meant to carry forward?
– Where do you notice actions or projects that will bear fruit beyond the present?
If the card speaks of the world – Shadow
You may perceive collective presumption: civilizations, ideologies, or technologies attempting to defy time. These quests for immortality risk turning into monsters of control.
Questions for you
– Which attempts at immortality seem today more grotesque than sacred?
– What should be allowed to die to make room for what truly continues?
– Is there someone or something trying to prevent your natural becoming into “another,” fixing you instead into a form that suits them better?
