And yet, the top card is Water/Hearts, and it's the 10♥, Theramina, a rather delicate figure. Not only that, her head is covered (and by the 4♦ no less!), almost as if she wish she wasn't put in such position.
Ignita in particular can be seen as the potential for financial gains, creative endeavours and/or spiritual transformation. But in general, the Aces can also be interpreted as sources of energy, that usually feed the cards nearby (especially those of the same suit). We see the A♦ between the 4♦ and 9♦, Gawain, feeding them. Which is strange because the South Wind and Gawain have such... opposite tendencies in my view. The 4♦ is the unexpected, the imp energy that creates little fires everywhere. And the 9♦ is that powerful, solar present, that comes for the rescue when needed.
If I had to sum up my impressions is that this will a cycle in which we will have to fight fire with fire. The unexpected will come at us and, like Gawain with his sword, we will have to take that energy and organise it, discipline it. And to be able to do that, we may have to 'hide' our sensitivity, like Theramina covering her head. On the other hand, it's possible that all this activity and outer demands will make us feel more vulnerable, compelling us to nurture our own mental health more consciously (10♥ in the Head position)
I feel like Theramina, being more sensitive, truly wishes she was doing something else rather than putting out fires. As the only water card, though, she might not have a choice.
I haven't so far 'seen' this spread manifest in a personal level for me. Perhaps it is intended to be a more collective advice? I don't know, but we have until the next New Moon to find out!
