What this card is
A woman stands alone in a walled garden of ripe vines with a hooded falcon resting on her gloved hand and her house behind her. Everything in the picture she arranged herself. The card is about comfort you built and are allowed to enjoy — capability turned into a life that actually fits. The falcon matters: the discipline here is trained, not absent. This is independence that took work rather than luck.
