I will value all life.

The Night Sun-Page of Pentacles is a new and unique way to artistically express the young Lady of Spring. She still is represented as a fecund personality with secret and new life possibilities (in her scroll), with an encircled pentacle around her neck and her hands on another printed on the ground. Her presence seems to be one of a strong middle eastern appearance mixed with a shamanistic design.

The magic of the magician is suggested in her cape. Instead of her wearing shoes, she prefers to go barefoot. The sprouting plants suggests that it is the time of Spring. She is full of good news, as spring is sprouting, and she is impulsive in taking initiative. The sly look on her face also carries the whiff of deceitfulness springled with the dust of superficiality.

The leafless Tree behind her can suggest what the Thoth grove of leafless trees around the princess suggest, which it is the end cycle of winter, and spring is just beginning, or representing the devastated way we still poison the earth with our greed, believing that we "own the land" and can do with it whatever we want. Truth is, if you take over the responsibility of "land ownership", you have become a Caretaker whose responsibility is to improve the land's fertility and fecund growth for all life forms. A type of Shepard for Gaia's flock. Since this is not usually done, we are violating our "contract" with Gaia, towards mutual growth and expansion.

Only she knows how she will close this violated contract. It will come as a "surprise" to those who see but don't look since we know longer have "rituals in the groves" where we keep mental contact with Gaia and celebrate with her the fertile and fecund lands. We have forgotten that Gaia, Earth, is a self-regulating organism using its elements of Fire, Air, Oceans and Land Mass to form a complex inter-related system that supports life. We really don't want Gaia to consider a paradigm shift.

The concept of a paradigm shift was introduced by American physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn in his seminal 1962 work, "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions." Kuhn challenged the prevailing linear view of scientific progress, proposing instead that science advances through periodic revolutionary shifts in thought, rather than steady accumulation of knowledge.

Understanding Kuhn’s Paradigm Shift:

A paradigm, according to Kuhn, is a comprehensive model or framework of assumptions, theories, methods, and standards widely accepted by a scientific community at a given time. Paradigms dictate what scientists study, how they interpret data, and even what questions are considered valid.

Process of Paradigm Shift:

Kuhn delineates scientific progress into distinct phases:

1. Normal Science:

   • During this phase, scientists operate within an established paradigm.

   • Research primarily involves solving puzzles and refining existing knowledge.

   • Anomalies or unexpected results are generally dismissed or explained away as experimental errors.

2. Crisis:

   • Persistent anomalies accumulate, challenging the existing paradigm's explanatory power.

   • These anomalies become increasingly difficult to reconcile, leading to skepticism within the scientific community.

3. Revolution (Paradigm Shift):

   • A new paradigm emerges, radically reinterpreting existing data and opening avenues for previously unconsidered ideas.

   • This new model often faces initial resistance but eventually gains acceptance due to its superior explanatory capability.

   • The community transitions to this new framework, fundamentally transforming scientific thought and inquiry.

4. New Normal Science:

   • Science resumes under the new paradigm, initiating another cycle of normal science.

Examples of Paradigm Shifts:

• Copernican Revolution: The transition from the geocentric (Earth-centered) Ptolemaic model to Copernicus’ heliocentric (Sun-centered) model of the cosmos.

• Newtonian to Einsteinian Physics: The shift from classical Newtonian physics to Einstein’s theories of relativity, profoundly changing our understanding of space, time, and gravity.

• Quantum Mechanics: The radical departure from deterministic classical physics to probabilistic quantum mechanics.

Broader Implications:

Though originally applied to scientific contexts, Kuhn’s concept of a paradigm shift has been widely adopted in various fields such as sociology, philosophy, technology, economics, and even spirituality. It highlights how profound changes in collective understanding often require complete reassessment and restructuring of foundational assumptions.

Hermetic and Forward-Thinking Reflection:

From a Western Hermetic perspective, Kuhn's paradigm shift concept can be aligned with the principle of "Solve et Coagula"—the alchemical maxim meaning "dissolve and coagulate." Just as an alchemist breaks down substances into fundamental elements before recombining them into something new, so does the scientific community disassemble outdated models before synthesizing new frameworks of understanding. Each paradigm shift can thus be seen as both a collective alchemical transmutation and an evolutionary leap in human consciousness.

Therefore, embracing Kuhn's paradigm shift encourages the Hermetic thinker to anticipate, adapt to, and even actively cultivate transformative changes in consciousness, philosophy, science, and spirituality.

The Thoth Princess of Disks, represents the Mastery of Creativity and Birth of New Forms. She is the pregnant one. As you may have gleamed by now, all these cards represent states of intelligent energy that weave a pattern of energy conscious in the material world. Even you are a Solar Soul, a Photon Being of light that has evolved self-awareness over billions of years. Hence, Light has become you!

The Greeks called this state of intelligence, Persephone, who enters Hades (the underworld), every winter and escapes Hades and manifests on Earth every spring. She is the pioneering nature of fertility (represented by the Aries horns on her head) and the serpent transforming into an ermine cape, represents her ancient earthly passion to create.

• Her lighted crystal staff, shows her desire to give birth to new forms that are in alignment with who she is. 
• Her determination to manifest the organic balanced harvest is shown by the pedestal of grains that she is standing on.
• The balanced union of female magnetic and male electric forces are represented in the yin/yang center of the lotus blossom which show the creative approaches to Motherhood issues or issues surrounding her own mother.
• Winter is shown on the Thoth Deck Princess of Disks as the ermine cape becomes an implication of snow on the ground, amid winter trees bereft of leaves.

When this card is thrown, for male or female, this card represents the: creative part of the Earth anima (feminine spirit) within the organic form.

We are all Souls who are Androgyny, (female side of brain and male side of the brain) and both sexes can become pregnant with desire and creative ideas. This creative idea and the desire to manifest it, has been gestating with in your nature for some time. For a woman, this card can represent the need to resolve motherhood issues. For male and female, this card can represent the need to resolve or restructure relationship issues with Aries or Scorpio people in your life. (Aries-March 21 -April 21) (Scorpio: October 21-November 21). Due to the very nature of the Princess of Disks "tunnel focus" on creation, this card can warn us of the dangers of becoming so focused on one thing, that we cannot enjoy the life all around us.

• On the brink of transformation, the Princess of Disks is the earthly part of Earth. Brooding in wonder, she is strong and beautiful while pregnant with the secret wonder of the future.
• This lovely Priestess of Demeter, wears the crest of the Ram and in her right hand, a scepter descending into the Earth, where its head becomes a diamond. To Qabalists, the Diamond is the Precious Stone of Kether (The Highest and purest Light) and symbolizes the Purest Light formed in Matter in the “diamond form of as above-so below".
• As would Freya, (Norse Grove Goddess) she stands in a grove of sacred trees, before an altar suggesting a wheat sheaf which is a symbol for Demeter. But she is not alone. Contrary to the sexism of misogynistic thought, she is never without He and He is never without She, so she holds in her left hand a disk which bears the Chinese ideogram denoting the twin spiral force of Goddess/God (Creation), in equilibrium; from this is born the Rose of Isis (Rose-Mari), the Great Fertile Mother of the Nile delta.

The characteristics of the Princess of Disks archetypal personality are more numerous than a one hopes to enumerate for she is the Ultimate in Womanhood and has all the characteristics of the "Womb with a View",i.e., the Mother of all Forms/the 3rd Sephiroth-Binah;Understanding. She contains all the characteristics of woman and it depends on the influences whether she is subject to “one or the other" of these traits that manifest as action. However, this is not a scattering of energy, rather whatever trait she acts on, it is pure and focused, and life changing. To the shallow (those afraid of their emotional depth), she is bewildering inconsistency; to the centered, she is a "Powerful Moment" of Beauty. She is both nourishing and vitalizing.

We may see her as Persephone arising from the nether world of winter into the bright light of spring, symbolizing that from the deepest, darkest depths arises the Wisdom of "Womb-Rite"; the resurrection and regeneration of the Living. There really isn't any negative here, unless one finds her ability to "be purely in the moment" to rapid and unsettling for their need for linear- stability. Such a shallow one would be unable to see that stability is based purely on "the movement of Moment" and not a linear line of addition. Therefore, she is serpentine in her motion of spirals. The universe is Spirals upon Spirals, dimensions upon dimensions, union upon union and suffers no division. To enjoy her, you must dance with her in her sacred grove of Life, YOUR HEART!

The Thoth Tarot’s Princess of Disks and the Mystery of Persephone: A Hermetic Perspective

In the verdant archetype of the Princess of Disks from the Thoth Tarot, we encounter more than just the Earthy aspect of Malkuth — we encounter a living glyph of regenerative power, seasonal rebirth, and the sacred cycle of descent and ascent. This card resonates deeply with the myth of Persephone, the Greek goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld — a myth that is, in itself, a profound initiatory allegory embedded with Qabalistic symbolism.

The Archetype of Earth in Bloom

The Princess of Disks is the final Heh (ה) in the Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh formula — the Daughter, the Earth — and she holds within her the seeds of all future creation. Dressed in greens and browns, crowned with the horns of Taurus and a disc bearing a six-petaled rose (the Rosy Cross), she stands surrounded by new life. This imagery evokes Demeter's daughter, Persephone, who dwells in the underworld for part of the year and then returns, bringing the flowering of springtime.

Persephone is not only the maiden abducted into Hades but the goddess who chooses to become Queen of the Underworld. This duality — both innocent spring blossom and sovereign of the dead — mirrors the initiatory path of the Neophyte in Malkuth, where one must master the physical realm and confront the cycles of life, death, and rebirth.

Descent, Gestation, and Return: The Path of the Seed

Crowley writes that the Princess of Disks is the “brilliantly fertile earth.” In her womb is the hidden spiral of time, the serpent coiled within the seed. Persephone, too, becomes the seed — planted in the dark soil of the underworld each autumn. Her myth is not only agricultural but alchemical. She descends into the Nigredo, the blackness of earth and shadow, where transformation occurs unseen. There, like the Princess of Disks, she gestates the mystery of return.

This descent and return pattern aligns perfectly with the symbolism of Path 32 on the Tree of Life — from Malkuth to Yesod — where the soul descends into form but must awaken and return with awareness. Persephone’s yearly return to the upper world reflects the Hermetic formula of resurrection, of Isis raising Osiris — of the Daughter awakening the Sun.

The Womb of Alchemical Manifestation

The orb she holds and the roots that surround her suggest a Hermetic vessel, a vas hermeticum. In alchemy, the closed vessel allows for the interior heat and fermentation necessary to transform base matter into gold. Persephone, in this sense, becomes the Philosopher's Garden — the enclosed, fertile ground in which spiritual transmutation takes place.

Similarly, the Princess of Disks transforms the raw energies of the Elemental Earth into fruition, holding the promise of the future within her body. She is both the land that lies fallow in winter and the burst of green that breaks through in spring. Persephone and the Princess are both keepers of sacred timing, and their power is most potent in transition — from dark to light, from womb to world, from potential to manifestation.

Malkuth as the Garden of Persephone

In the Qabalistic worldview, Malkuth is the Kingdom, yet it is also the exile — the furthest point from Kether. But this exile is not abandonment; it is initiation. The Princess of Disks walks this sacred ground, reminding us that the end of the Tree is also its beginning. Like Persephone, she embodies the dignity of the Earth, the initiate who brings light from the depths.

She is not passive. She is pregnant with the future, armed with a staff bearing the seed of renewal, and she rules in her domain with the wisdom born of seasonal sacrifice. Like Persephone, she is both Daughter and Queen — both bloom and bone.

Closing Thoughts: The Key to Earth’s Secrets

The Princess of Disks and Persephone together form a sacred key — unlocking the Earth mysteries of manifestation, descent, rebirth, and the cyclical wisdom of nature. They teach us that the path to mastery of matter is not through domination, but through cooperation with the cycles, through stillness, patience, and the willingness to go within and return renewed.

In your workings with the Princess of Disks, consider invoking Persephone. Ask her to show you how to plant your intentions in fertile ground, how to find beauty in darkness, and how to return from your own underworld with the sacred fruit of wisdom in hand.

The Princesses and the Aces.

Skry this Princess of Disks card and know, it’s great to be you! In your uniqueness you are united with us all. The Princesses of any suit are the “womb intelligence” that carries the seed of the element they represent. Thus, the Princesses are the pro-generators of the Aces.The Ace of Disks, is the seed of the Energy Transformation that we call Earth and Earth is ruled by the Princesses, each in their own section of the Northern quadrant. The knowledge of the new Aeon of Horus, dispels the archaic concept of Earth as an evil, passive, immobile, even dead element. Rather, Earth is a transformation of Intelligent Energy Conscious that many moderns call Gaia who is represented in the tarot as the Queen of Disks.

Now this may all be new to us indoctrinated of the "Divide and conquer" military industrial complex, but as I tour my Soul's Akasha, I find a Personality of Native American manifestation, who named this Intelligent Force of Earth, Grandmother River. This " so called primitive" personality, as did the Alchemists, seemed to understand that the “Water, Air and Sun" union, transformed soil into living forms, long before our scientist "discovered" this very concept in the study of Thermodynamics.

The Thoth- Ace of Disks, is invariably linked to the Princess of Disks and is a styled rendition of a Molecule, (the union of atoms) show in the background of the Emerald Green of the Aeon of Isis (Grandmother River). This Emerald Green is of the King-Scale color decided upon by the Egyptian Hierophants. However, this green is not the original vegetable green of Isis but that of the “emerald-spring green" of the new Aeon following the resurrection of Osiris as Horus. Nor are the disks considered to be the dead chemistry of coins; rather they are the whirling emblems of Star, Planets, Human Auras and atoms etc., all of which are whirling spheres.

There is the new doctrine of Tetragrammaton suggested, where He' --the final earthly component, and the Daughter (Princess), is set upon the Throne of the Mother, to awaken the Eld of the All-Father. In the words of Zoroaster, Tetragrammaton is a “rebounding, whirling forth, crying aloud," The Name is not a dead symbol, but a whirling Sphere of Divine Action.

The center of the Thoth Deck Ace of Disks, is a complicate Hieroglyph representing the "the chosen priest- and apostle of infinite space" and/or the "prince-priest the Beast." (Liber AL. I.15.). In the center of all is yet another form of Tetragrammaton, the Phallus, showing Sol and Luna, with the number 666 inscribed, is also the mate to the equalized the 3 sevens adding to 156 (Babalon-The Scarlet woman.)

This central cipher is enclosed in a Heptagram that is interlaced with Pentagons whose sides are extended forming a wheel of 10 spokes, bounded by a Decagon encompassed in a circular band with the inscribed name of TO META EHPION- Greek for "The Aftermath". About this whirling Disk are its six wings (6 is the number of the Sun).

The Thoth Deck Ace of Disks is the glyph of Earth as understood in the new Aeon of Horus. Sol and Terra are known as living beings, one's constant companions in a Universe of Pure Joy.

This Princess or Page is the Lady of Rebirth and Renewal and to understand the Depth of the Ultimate Womb---is to meditate long and hard on this card, and to read the Goddess Myths with the eye (I) of the soul. In this world, where love is a profit-sharing endeavor, it is hard for most of us to believe that "Love built Me to be Itself"----Love is Now and fears no future. But the truth is, "Creation is Love made manifest" and we are the image of Love made manifest by the Womb of the Goddess!

The Thoth Tarot Birth Wheel is a specialized astrological-Tarot framework designed by Aleister Crowley, providing an esoteric map of an individual's personality, spiritual destiny, and inner dynamics through the symbolic language of the Tarot.

Here's a clear, structured elucidation:

What is the Thoth Tarot Birth Wheel?

The Tarot Birth Wheel is a personalized astrological and Tarot-based chart that combines your date and time of birth with Tarot symbolism. This wheel positions specific Thoth Tarot cards in alignment with the astrological placements from your natal chart, revealing deeper esoteric insights into personality, soul lessons, karmic pathways, and spiritual potential.

Structure of the Thoth Tarot Birth Wheel:

The wheel traditionally consists of concentric circles or "rings," usually five, arranged around a central hub:

1. The Central Hub (Astrological Core):

At the center of the Birth Wheel is typically your Sun sign (primary personality) or your complete astrological signature (Sun, Moon, Ascendant). This core expresses your fundamental spiritual purpose or energetic essence.

2. The Rings of the Wheel:

Around this central hub, the wheel expands into five concentric circles, each aligned with astrological, elemental, and Tarot-based correspondences:

• Innermost Ring: Corresponds to the Court Cards (Knight, Queen, Prince, Princess), defining primary personality traits, modes of action, emotional temperament, and intellectual tendencies based on your astrological placements.

• Second Ring: Typically features the Minor Arcana (Ace–10). These cards represent everyday influences, challenges, strengths, and practical life lessons derived from the decan (10-degree segments) placements of your natal planets.

• Third Ring: Often includes the Major Arcana cards aligned to astrological signs and planets. These cards signify deeper soul lessons, major karmic influences, and transformative initiations that shape your life’s journey.

• Fourth Ring: Associated with the Elemental and Planetary symbolism of the Tarot. This ring refines the energy of the planets and signs, further defining character traits, elemental balances (Fire, Water, Air, Earth), and inner spiritual drives.

• Outermost Ring: Usually reflects the Qabalistic Paths on the Tree of Life. It signifies spiritual trajectories, initiation paths, and transformative processes integral to your personal and spiritual growth.

How to Interpret the Tarot Birth Wheel:

Step 1: Astrological Integration

• Identify your Sun, Moon, and Rising sign in the central hub, as these represent core aspects of your personal essence.

• Determine how the planetary placements in your natal chart correspond with the Tarot cards assigned to each zodiacal segment or planetary influence.

Step 2: Court Card Personality Analysis

• Examine the Court Cards (Innermost Ring) to explore your intrinsic personality type:

  • Knights represent active expression and powerful drive.

  • Queens represent deep intuitive and emotional processes.

  • Princes represent intellectual exploration and adaptability.

  • Princesses represent manifestation potential and grounding energies.

Step 3: Minor Arcana Daily Life Guidance

• The numbered cards (Second Ring) describe practical lessons, recurring themes, strengths, and challenges you regularly encounter.

• These cards often highlight specific experiences you must consciously integrate or transcend.

Step 4: Major Arcana Spiritual Lessons

• Reflect on the Major Arcana cards (Third Ring) to discern profound soul lessons, karmic tasks, and spiritual initiations.

• These archetypes represent larger existential themes in your life, guiding personal growth and transformation.

Step 5: Elemental and Qabalistic Insights

• Explore elemental balances and imbalances, recognizing how Fire (passion), Water (emotion), Air (intellect), and Earth (practicality) interact within your birth chart.

• Consider the Qabalistic pathways to reveal hidden initiations and spiritual potentials mapped on your unique journey.

Esoteric Significance:

From a Hermetic-Qabalistic viewpoint, the Birth Wheel aligns the individual's personal narrative to the universal order depicted by the Tarot and the Tree of Life. Each person is seen as a unique manifestation of cosmic energies, and the Tarot Birth Wheel allows a profound insight into one’s role within the grand cosmic design.

This tool supports the Hermetic principle "Know Thyself," encouraging self-awareness, spiritual evolution, and conscious living through the symbolic and archetypal lens of Tarot and astrology.

Practical Application:

Use the Thoth Tarot Birth Wheel to:

• Enhance self-understanding and spiritual insight.

• Identify recurring life patterns and karmic lessons.

• Foster personal and spiritual development through focused reflection.

• Guide ritual or magical workings tailored to your unique energetic makeu

When the Night Sun Page of Pentacles is thrown during a divination, it implies:

• Be observant and resourceful.
• Pay attention to the little details. 
• Enjoy collaboration and take initiative.
• New beginnings are sprouting.
• Your long period of passivity is over-time to grow in the Sunlight of your Soul.
• Good news.
• Impulsive behavior.

If reversed:

• Feeling stagnant.
• Nothing moves forward.
• Being overprotective for the situation. 
• In the comfort zone.
• Not enjoying the work.
• Deceit.
• Superficiality.

If the Princess of Disks card shows up in a reading, it is best said:

• A young person whose desire to give birth to new forms that are in alignment with who she is. 
• Her determination to manifest the organic balanced harvest in her life.
• The balanced union of female magnetic and male electric forces are represented in the yin/yang center of the lotus blossom which show the creative approaches to Motherhood issues or issues surrounding her own mother.
• The end of Winter hibernation is shown on the Thoth Deck Princess of Disks as the ermine cape becomes an implication of snow on the ground, amid winter trees bereft of leaves.

• That rebirth is apparent from past defeat.
• Or that a new love is blooming in your life.
• It represents a young woman with rich brown or red- brown hair and dark eyes, she is generous, kind, diligent, benevolent, careful and endowed with persevering courage.
• She may also be pregnant with child or birthing ideas, projects, identity and self-aspects.
•  She or he is on the Brink of Transformation and Revelation.
• She or he may also have a concentrated desire to learn and is applying her/his fertile mind to scholarly pursuits.
