24. The Heart
“And yet I have had the weakness, and have still the weakness, to wish you to know with what a sudden mastery you kindled me, heap of ashes that I am, into fire.”

The Heart Card Meaning
I like to think of the Heart card as a crackling, pulsating orb of fire that we all possess. The Heart represents that raw, pure passion potential that is ours to suppress or unleash in intentional or unintentional ways. We can try to bottle up our love or passion but it will always find a way to express itself. If the Heart appears in your reading, look to the surrounding cards to determine where that passion, or love is directed.
