At the center of the card, lies a giant wheel, protected in esoteric symbols. There are extraordinary creatures that surround the wheel; the angel, the eagle, the bull and the lion. They are related to 4 fixed symptoms within the zodiac - leo, taurus, scorpio and aquarius. These four animals also are representatives for the 4 evangelists in Christian traditions, which is perhaps the cause that they are all adorned with wings.
The books that every of the creatures hold represents the Torah which communicates awareness and self-understanding. The snake shows the act of descending into fabric world. On the wheel itself, rides a sphinx that sits at the pinnacle, and what seems to be both a devil, or Anubis himself bobbing up at the bottom.
