To me, this card is generally all about balance. The angelic figure, with golden wings and hair, clothed in pure white, appears peaceful, calm and focused...yet adept at juggling his gold, silver and crystal balls and capable of handling issues both worldly and other-worldly.
When this card appears in a reading, depending on where it falls in a spread, I wonder if balance is needed, is already achieved or is being resisted or toppled by the querent or outside forces (reversed).
The beautiful setting for this card...with blue skies, yellow irises, a clear brook, and mountains in the distance all show to me how when balance is achieved life can run a whole lot better than when balance is off-kilter. This balance can be directly related to me personally (ie. within myself) or to how I fit into the scheme of things...be these things close to home or of a more worldly nature.
In Robin's book, I liked how she mentioned the card also brings into mind patience. Achieving balance isn't always easy in all of life's situations. Much work often has to occur for things to run smoothly. With patience, I'm reminded that good things can come from striving for balance in my life. I'm reminded that I must be patient for things to fall into place.
