Up and away at long last flee
But where tonight will your bed be?

The Liberation card represents the euphoria of breaking free and galloping off into the distance, unshackled from whatever was holding us back beforehand. (The card is closely related to the Prison card in this respect.) Its first message, then, is to fly!

The card asks that we treat the period of euphoria as temporary, however. While we should enjoy the feeling, which may be associated with self-development, or a new phase in life, it immediately begs two questions: one – what have we been liberated from? And two – to where are we flying? Although the card celebrates in the joy of freedom, it asks that we are clear about where we are going.
