Consider how richly populated your mind is already. Since birth (and, arguably, since your inception) you have been absorbing the thoughts of your family. And, much further to this, when the time was deemed right you were formally educated (both secularly and religiously) to become imbued with what others considered to be the right set of thoughts required for you to become a contributing member of society.
In other words, all along your thoughts have been contoured by outside forces in such way as to bring about an individual who will (at least largely) think, work, live and die in accordance with the prevailing ideology of your own particular place and time in history.
This isn’t necessarily a bad thing but it does make it very hard for you – as master/mistress of your own destiny – to successfully plant new and different thoughts into your mind deeply enough for them to take root and flower. And, the degree to which a new seed thought differs from the existing population of thoughts which have already taken root in your mind is the same degree to which your effort to claim a victory in this regard is going to be challenged.
In fact, successfully and securely planting a new thought in your already heavily populated and guarded mind will require ingenuity and determination on your part mixed with a healthy dose of instinctual cunning. But, take heart, for with all of these attributes operating victory in the realm of air can be wrought.
PLEASE NOTE: This interpretation is based purely on the feelings I experience when I focus on, and merge with, the images in the card combined with how I understand the Minor Arcana of the Rider-Waite deck dovetails with the Tree of Life in the Qabalah (as taught by Wald and Ruth Ann Amberstone, co-founders of The Tarot School in New York City, NY).
