My favorite Tarot deck is the Osho Zen Tarot. It is on the Osho
website, you can click and get a reading.

A card that comes up very often for me, is
#4. the Rebel.
People are afraid, very much afraid of those who know themselves. They have
a certain power, a certain aura and a certain magnetism, a charisma that
can take out alive, young people from the traditional imprisonment....
The enlightened man cannot be enslaved - that is the difficulty - and he
cannot be imprisoned.... Every genius who has known something of the inner
is bound to be a little difficult to be absorbed; he is going to be an
upsetting force. The masses don't want to be disturbed, even though they
may be in misery; they are in misery, but they are accustomed to the
misery. And anybody who is not miserable looks like a stranger.
The enlightened man is the greatest stranger in the world; he does not seem
to belong to anybody. No organization confines him, no community, no
society, no nation.
Osho The Zen Manifesto: Freedom from Oneself Chapter 9
Commentary:
The powerful and authoritative figure in this card is clearly the master of
his own destiny. On his shoulder is an emblem of the sun, and the torch he
holds in his right hand symbolizes the light of his own hard-won truth.
Whether he is wealthy or poor, the Rebel is really an emperor because he
has broken the chains of society's repressive conditioning and opinions. He
has formed himself by embracing all the colors of the rainbow, emerging
from the dark and formless roots of his unconscious past and growing wings
to fly into the sky. His very way of being is rebellious - not because he
is fighting against anybody or anything, but because he has discovered his
own true nature and is determined to live in accordance with it. The eagle
is his spirit animal, a messenger between earth and sky.
The Rebel challenges us to be courageous enough to take responsibility for
who we are and to live our truth.
