Symbols/Colours:

the pictorial representation of the card shows the Light-wands turned into electrical rays, sustaining or even constituting Matter by their vibrating energy;
above this restored universe shines the rainbow; the division of pure light, which deals with maxima, into the seven colours of the spectrum, which exhibit interplay and correlation;
this card, therefore, represents energy of high velocity, such as furnishes the master-key to modern mathematical physics;
it will be noted that there are no flames; they have all been taken up into the wands to turn them into rays; on the other hand, the electric energy has created intelligible geometrical form.
