9 HuaiBaoRiYue 懐抱日月

Embrace the Sun and Moon

Big Wheel

This swirling into the center, a fixed point, an axle around which everything turns.

The three figures hearken back to the three worlds unified by QiHuaSanPan - "Qi Transforms the Three Layers". The DanTian, the three main centers of the spirit body in the head, the heart, the belly.

The hands and arms remind me of The Star, of pouring light into oneself, into the world, but instead of an outpouring out here is a gathering in, a gesture we see in The Empress.

This card is the center of the Trumps, the Summer Solstice, the center of the Year.
