If the Moon can be seen to be a reflection of a reflection (the waters reflecting the light of the Moon that itself reflects the light of the Sun), then this card too may be similarly seen, but in a more abstract manner.
I have shaded the attached Grimaud-type card to make it appear as though is was 'simply' a two coins that was folded, and again folded. The pairs of coins each appear, then, as a reflection (or creation) of each fold: 2 X 2 X 2 (the first cube).
In some ways, this card can show both how Justice (not merely Law, that after all only reflects, in its ideal, Justice - and so needs to be a reflection of the whole eight) reflects on that which is reflected, but also that there is increase and abundance when a simple process of doubling is permitted... a small reminder of the reward requested of a single grain of rice that gets doubled each year for the duration of the number of squares on a chess-board: small steps have massive (karmic) consequences.
The card, then, may at times indicate abundance, and abundance of abundance... and growth - whether or not healthy or desired (an unhealthy type may be cancerous).
