This card embodies an all consuming youthful love, a passionate outburst, the dawn or rebirth/rediscovery of the first love, fresh, inexperienced and idealistic. Although the feelings symbolized represent a joyride of youthful emotion, care must be taken- disappointment of these feelings cause painful emotional wounds. Adversely it may represent a superfluous, catastrophic idealization of love, an obsession with an impossible love.
