Jason was a prince destined for greatness — the hero chosen to retrieve the Golden Fleece, symbol of divine kingship and renewal. To aid him, the goddess Hera gathered the Argonauts: a company of heroes that included Heracles, Orpheus, and Atalanta. Before his voyage, Jason was trained and counseled by Chiron, who prepared him not only in skill but in virtue — teaching him that leadership demands integrity and self-knowledge as much as strength.

Guided by divine favor and the sorcery of Medea, Jason succeeded in his quest. Yet upon returning, he betrayed her — forgetting both love and promise in his pursuit of power. His triumph became his downfall, for the fleece he claimed could not protect a heart that had turned away from its own truth.

Jason’s story reveals the paradox of the seeker who gains the prize but loses the soul. He reminds you that success without alignment becomes emptiness — that every quest must be guided by inner truth, not just outer glory.

When this card appears, it invites you to reflect on your own journey: What are you pursuing, and at what cost? Are you still guided by the voice of your inner Chiron — the wisdom that once set you on your path?

Myth and Meaning

1. The Wound —
The wound of Jason is the pain of betrayal — both of others and of self. It is the ache that comes when ambition eclipses integrity, or when the heart’s promise is broken in the pursuit of worldly validation.

2. The Mask —
You may wear the mask of the Leader or the Achiever — confident, capable, and goal-driven. Yet beneath it lies fear: the belief that worth is earned through accomplishment or recognition, rather than through authenticity.

3. The Trigger —
Disappointment, loss of control, or criticism of your motives can reignite this wound. It surfaces when you realize success has not brought fulfillment, or when others mirror back the consequences of choices made from ego rather than truth.

4. The Medicine —
Integrity. Return to the teachings of your inner Chiron — the wisdom that reminds you why you began. The medicine is humility and reconnection to purpose. Real leadership serves something greater than the self.

5. The Gift —
Your gift is courage and perseverance. You are capable of uniting others toward a vision and seeing it through. When you align your ambition with heart, your influence becomes healing rather than consuming.

6. The Path Forward —
Reconcile with your own Medea — the parts of you that have been used, exiled, or forgotten in the name of success. Honor them. Jason’s path forward is redemption through honesty and service. True victory lies not in conquest, but in coming home whole.
