IX · The Coiled Serpent

The Coiled Serpent

Said nothing, but already read the whole board

Ashlesha · आश्लेषा

You speak least in the meeting, yet the conclusion drifts your way. You know what the other side wants before they do, and you hold it until the moment it is needed.

Mythology and origins

Ashlesha is ruled by the Nagas, the serpent deities. In Indian myth, Nagas guard treasures under the earth and beneath the waters and hold both wisdom and venom.

It lies at the end of Cancer, near the head of Hydra. The name means "the entwiner" or "the embrace," and its symbol is a coiled serpent.

So the star is read as one who reads the whole board in silence and holds the card until it is needed. The serpent’s power to shed its skin and change comes with a tendency to grip those close to it too tightly.
