Doves
The dove is a common spiritual icon with symbol meanings indicating hope, purity, aspiration and ascension. In Greco-Roman mythologie the dove is a sacred creature to Aphrodite/Venus and therefore is a powerful symbol of love. Featured on the ace of cups, it is a promising symbol. Note the dove (in the Rider-Waite version) is pointing down – this is a message : whatever goes up, must come down. In other words, fly high, but ground yourself first.
Falcons
Throughout culture and myth the falcon symbol meanings have pertained to higher vision, superiority and rising above the mundane. A common sun symbol among many cultures, the falcon also symbolizes potence, vibrancy and power. When falcon catches our attention on the nine of pentacles, we are prompted to consider if we are living our lives in-line with our vision. Are we living at our highest potential ? the falcon asks us to fly high and blaze the sky with our own brillance.
