At first glance, this card throws me. The red things are the Woman, the Snake & the mask in the upper right corner.

Instead of the left hand being open, it has a white dove nestled in it.
ETA: just noting that most RWS cards show the right hand open/blessing.

The bull's horns and lower leg/hooves are crystal points. Is there significance to going from a normally cloven-hoof to a single point?

5 elephants ~ strength, wisdom; Indian/Buddhist references to Indra, the king of gods
5 purple crystals ~ assuming amethyst
9 nails ~ Hebrew letter vau; Yesod, the sphere of the Moon
10 stars (4 pointed)

Melody's book says the spheres on his wand are
*red rutilated
*prasiolite (green amethyst) in quartz
*citrine

DuQuette's book says the symbols for Aquarius & Scorpio changed.
*Aquarius = eagle
*Scorpio = angel

It mentions a window held in place by the 9 nails & that reminds me of my amethyst door pendant. (an amethyst faceted in an emerald-cut)
