Verse The Dancer looks both ways, and holds the keys that show the rising, falling vortices. Her dance expands within the world, and takes the world within; in her the world awakes. Unreal divisions yield to unities!
Interpretation In this trump the Saturnalia comes to an end (see 0.Fool). The Fool, chosen by chance (or destiny) to be the Carnival King, Saturnaliacus Princeps, the Lord of Misrule, has had many adventures; he has been exalted and tried. At the head of the Triumphal Procession he has led a succession of triumphs of progressively higher order, which now reach their culmination. Thrice has he passed the seven gates. On each of the seven days of the Carnival one of the seven Feathers of Folly was pulled from his head, so that now none are left.
The Fool dances his last dance as king, for soon he will be stripped of his special status, but he rejoins the common mass of humanity in a transfigured state, having perhaps transformed the masses by his example. The Fool has become the Dancer, who dances the eternal dance of liberated life, blending rhythm and spontaneity. She is the integrated soul, ascending to the eternal realms and descending again into the world of the four elements. Uniting all opposites into a dynamic synergy, she holds the keys of Heaven and the Abyss, and points the way into the new Aquarian Aeon, the return of the Golden Age of Saturn. .. https://web.eecs.utk.edu/~mclennan/BA/PT/M21.html http://translate.google.com.ua/translate?hl=ru&sl=en&u=https://web.eecs.utk.edu/~mclennan/BA/PT/M21.html&prev=search

Verse
The Dancer looks both ways, and holds the keys
that show the rising, falling vortices.
Her dance expands within the world, and takes
the world within; in her the world awakes.
Unreal divisions yield to unities!
