The Art represents the art of alchemy, the ability to solve and combine, to turn something plain into something precious.

The Art is the symbol for the right mixture, the perfect balance, standing for harmony, beauty and peace. But the trump can also show that sides that were previously ignored should be lived out and that contrasts should be put together to enrich the inner spectrum with new perspectives.

From a personal view the 'solve et coagula' can mean that there is a need to leave a fixed position, to retire, watch and then go back again to combine on a new basis.

Drive: 'Solve et coagula' - dissolve and combine
