this has been bugging me for awhile:
all of the roofs in the city behind the chariot are red. all except for one. that one is white. intuitively i feel that it was not an oversight, that it was purposely white. i have looked in every tarot book i can find on the subject. i have done massive internet searches. and i have spent many hours reading and searching on here, to no avail.
this is probably a good thing, as i then had to figure it out myself. those pointed round roofs look like "spires." the root of "spirit", and "inspire", and "aspire" and "expire." refers to breath and life. (-spire, that is.) it represents our reaching to the heavens and the gods. (hence on so many churches and such.)
red represents earthly/sexual desire. many in the city are concerned with their own desires, but only one household seems to be concerned with "purified" desire (rep by the white roof.)
perhaps that is the bachelor pad of the handsome charioteer?
what are your thoughts? (if you have a deck other than the original rider waite, they "fixed" it, so you have no white roof, along with many other things that shall be other posts...)
