The image here is a woman riding an elephant while giving birth. There are flowers to both sides and a snake hanging from a tree on her left. The card is identified only as Mawu, it doesn't indicate which of the major arcana it is associated with.
Sometimes birth is frantic and difficult, but in this image, perhaps because Mawu is the Goddess of creation, it seems serene, natural, inevitable. Not that it isn't labor, but that the labor is done by a person well-prepared and suited to that labor.
In Dahomey mythology, Mawu, is a West African Mother Earth creator Goddess associated with both the sun and moon. She is the Goddess of the night, of joy, and of motherhood as well as the ruler of the world's wisdom and knowledge. That fits with the elephant too, often considered a symbol of wisdom and memory, and elephants are very nurturing of their young and each other as well.
I also find it interesting that for an eclipse reading, you drew a Goddess that is associated with both the sun and the moon. It suggests that things are coming together for you, and that you can bring the new things that are needed or even just wanted into being.
