Where the hell is summer? Or, perhaps more pressing, where is the time flying? Seems like it was only yesterday that my friend and I were talking about walking Hadrians Wall, and now in less than 3 months we'll be on our trek. Ooh er! Today's Monday Musings uses the Crystal Ally Cards, by Naisha Ahsian. One reason I like this deck is because if a particular stone card speaks to you, it's quite possible you could get that stone and carry it with you as a reminder of the message or the lesson. It's also good chance to plug a very special offer for a crystal reading, which is only going to be available this time around until the 30th of June. What will this week bring to you? Monthly forecast? Weekly forecast? Daily forecast? It's up to you, you know the drill! Pick the one that calls to you, then read the reveal in the comments for a mini-reading for the week ahead, or read them all as a story-telling spread. Your reading, Your call. I'm just the messenger.. I'm still offering private readings, too, so if you want to know a little more about what the universe has in store for you, hit me up. "I'm here to help."  Left: Prayer, Fulgurite. I'm not surprised this one appeared with the storms that we've been having! I've got to admit that fulgurite is one of my favorite things on the planet. It's a glass tube that is formed when lightning hits sand. How cool is that? If this is your card for this week, it's calling you to weather the storm. Don't fight the forces of nature. Let the things that are happening in your life mold you and change you. Use your energy to rise with the storm. Remember that your words are carried on your breath and your breath gives you life, so speak your ideas into being and then follow them up by taking action to make them manifest. A prayer without action is just a wish. Now is not the time to wimp out. There are some things you can only learn in a storm. Let it clear the air and empower you. Middle: Sugilite, Dreams Before you were even born, your heart's desires were placed deep in your psyche to lead you to your highest happiness, you greatest success, and your deepest fulfillment. The discord you experience in your life happens when you are out of harmony with those desires. If you chose this card for the week then it is asking you to slow down to the speed of life and get back in touch with those dreams. You may not be able to walk away from everything that brings you down just yet, but you can take steps right here, right now, to take you closer to what you want to be doing, so you don't feel quite so stuck in what you have to do. Start doing what you love, little and often, and let the universe know that you're listening. You will not be disappointed, but—as I said above—you have to harness those desire and be prepared to act on them, or they'll be destined to stay a wish, tantalizingly just out of reach. Right: Spirit, Danburite In a crystal reading, danburite signifies joy and celebration. If this is your card for the upcoming week then it is asking you to find reasons to be cheerful, part one, two, and three. It's a message that there is always something to be thankful for, always a kernel of light in every situation, even if you have to wade through the mud to see it. It's asking you to look for what cannot be seen, which may sound like an oxymoron, but it is there and you will find it. Start to see yourself as the co-creator of your own reality, rather than a victim of your circumstances. Try keeping a gratitude journal, and practicing random acts of kindness. When you make a conscious effort to look on the bright side, you start to train the neuroreceptors in your brain to seek out information to support that decision. Start right here, right now, and find three things to be thankful for. Danburite reminds you that, when you change your thoughts, you really can change your life.  Monday Musings—and on time this week, too! Did you miss me last week? No one said anything... Today's deck is the Eight Coins Tattoo Tarot by Lana Zellner. This is rapidly becoming one of my go-to decks. The art always reveals a new angle of interpretation for me, and I find that very useful when I'm using the cards to have a conversation with myself. Things are starting to really busy themselves here at The Keep, with me making it a point to get some studio time in every day, as well as doing some writing, and finding time to amble through the village and surrounding countryside in preparation for Hadrian's Wall, which is rapidly approaching! What will this week bring to you? Monthly forecast? Weekly forecast? Daily forecast? It's up to you, you know the drill! Pick the one that calls to you, then read the reveal in the comments for a mini-reading for the week ahead, or read them all as a story-telling spread. Your reading, Your call. I'm just the messenger.. I'm still offering private readings, too, so if you want to know a little more about what the universe has in store for you, hit me up. "I'm here to help."  Left: Seven of Wands It may not be any surprise to you guys that we're heading into another Mercury retrograde. Now, you'd think that we'd be used to these by now, after all, they happen around three times a year. However, there's always something that seems to cause twitterpations when Mercury is doing his backward dance through the skies. He's in his shadow period at the moment, and this means that those of you who are sensitive to this kind of stuff may be starting to get your knickers in a knot already (those who know me know yes, I resemble that remark). If this is your card for the week it's showing you that the confrontations and complications that a retrograde Mercury have to offer may already be creating some discomfort in your life. Do not back down from what you know to be right. Do not walk away from what you know to be true. Do not buckle when someone challenges you. As the Desiderata says, "You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars, you have a right to be here." Of course, so does everyone else, so don't forget that when you're facing the storm and holding your ground! Sometimes the fight just isn't worth it—but if it is, don't let a lack of confidence steal your thunder. Middle: Eight of Cups This card has spoken to me quite loudly these last few weeks. It keeps making regular appearances in my daily tarot meditations that I do for myself. If this is your card for the upcoming week, it is a sure message from the universe to start seeking more. Do not settle for adequate when you can have fantastic. Walk away from what isn't working, no matter how good it may look, for something better is just around the corner and you have to make room for it in your life. Yes, it may mean some time in the wilderness, but that's how you find your path. Yes, it may mean that you spend some time alone, but you don't have to be lonely. It's time to get real, to leave whatever is standing in your way behind you, and take that leap of faith. Right: Queen of Cups The suit of cups always represents water and the sea of emotions to me. The Queen is a wise and compassionate woman, she is the mum who always had cookies and the grandma who always had hugs, and the auntie who threatened to throw flour on you if you insisted on misbehaving in her kitchen! She's creative and intuitive and if this is the card you picked, it's a message that you need to tap into your intuition, for it is stronger than you think, and use your creativity, for you are more ingenious than you realize. Feeling stuck, feeling inertia, feeling that 'something' needs to change? The Queen is assuring you that you have what it takes to make those changes. Quieten your mind and open your heart and let the energy flow. You'll realize that the solution to the issue lies in the same bed as the problem.  Monday Musings! Today's deck is Caitlin Matthews's Celtic Wisdom Oracle. How can you look at those orange cards and be blue—even if it is Monday! I don't know where you are, but here around The Keep and the Kilndom, we're having amazing weather. It's balmy and pleasant and good for long walks to prepare for the Hadrian's Wall Hike, but I do have to admit I'm getting impatient for swimming pool days! Last week saw some action in many ways; walking, glazing, cleaning out the studio, cleaning out the garage, and more. This week is a busy one, too, lots to do, the days are long and enticing me to be productive. What will they bring to you? Monthly forecast? Weekly forecast? Daily forecast? It's up to you, you know the drill! Pick the one that calls to you, then read the reveal in the comments for a mini-reading for the week ahead, or read them all as a story-telling spread. Your reading, Your call. I'm just the messenger.. I'm still offering private readings, too, so if you want to know a little more about what the universe has in store for you, hit me up. "I'm here to help."  Left: The Courtship of Skill You've been waiting for your ship to come in and only ever met with the tied, but if this is your card for the upcoming week, then that luck is about to change. This is a card that represents rewards for your efforts. It's more than wishes come true; this is something you've worked for and you've earned and you're finally seeing the results. It's not time to rest on your laurels, though, oh no. If anything says 'keep going,' this card does. Yes, you're seeing success, but there's more to come. Don't stop just because you're onto a good thing! Middle: The Keeper The Keeper does just that; he keeps order. He's the ruler, the leader, the authoritarian. If you chose this card, then it is telling you that it is not time to be a maverick or to step too far out of your comfort zone this week. It's a time for keeping things in an orderly fashion, to keep an eye on the things—and the people—that matter to you, and to stay strong in your sense of self-worth and self-assurance. Stay in your lane, for haters are always gonna hate and losers are always gonna lose until they decide not to. You can't govern their actions, but you have absolute control over the way you respond to them. Right: The Quest of Battle If you've been worried about something, if you've been thinking that things couldn't get any worse, well, you're probably right. This card shows you that yes, life sucks sometimes, but your track record of getting through the suck zone is 100% so far, so don't blot your copy book. As a weekly card, the Quest of Battle is asking you to pause, acknowledge how lousy you feel, forget the Law of Attraction and just be real. When you realize that life doesn't always play fair and you're more resilient than you think you are, suddenly everything does not seem to be so gloomy. There's a season for everything, and whatever sucky thing you're going through has its season, so let it be what it is, but remember that you will never be stuck there unless you choose to be—and that would just be silly, wouldn't it?! 
Memorial Day Monday Musings (that's Bank Hol Musings for you across t'pond lol). Today's deck is one that has always captivated me, but one I don't use frequently, the Quantum Tarot by Kay Stopforth and Chris Butler. It's an interesting deck that features images from the Hubble Telescope along with some pretty interesting ideas when it comes to the interpretation. It's also one that sometimes has me scratching my head, which is usually a good thing, because then I learn something! This last week has been full of an interesting roller coaster of emotions, but then, that's pretty much what last week's Monday Musings hinted! This week is a busy one, lots to do, the days are long and enticing me to be productive. What will they bring to you? Monthly forecast? Weekly forecast? Daily forecast? It's up to you, you know the drill! Pick the one that calls to you, then read the reveal in the comments for a mini-reading for the week ahead, or read them all as a story-telling spread. Your reading, Your call. I'm just the messenger.. I'm still offering private readings, too, so if you want to know a little more about what the universe has in store for you, hit me up. "I'm here to help."  LEFT: The Hanged Man The Hanged Man asks you what you need to surrender in order to be all you can be. According to the Quantum Tarot, this is a card that embraces the Uncertainty Principle, which is really kind of cool when you start to dive into it and contemplate how it applies to your life. It is impossible to simultaneously measure both the mass and the velocity of an object, and this can be translated into your daily life in that it is impossible to predict everything that is going to influence you (that's rich, coming from a psychic, eh, but those who truly understand what being intuitive mean will sooo get this one, ha ha). If this is your card for the week, it is a reminder that there is always going to be that element of uncertainty around you and around others in your life. Yes, some of those events may turn your life upside down, but that does not always have to be a bad thing. The way forward is to take everything as it comes, neither fear it nor embracing it, but—like the Hanged Man—put yourself out there and just see what transpires. As my daddy used to say about the weather, "Don't like it? Stick around, it will change!" MIDDLE: The Hermit The Hermit is a card of introspection, and asks you where do you need to shine your light so you can see who you truly are? In the Quantum Tarot, this is a card that deals with subatomic particles. It's asking you to scratch the surface and see what lies underneath. If this is your card for the week, it is a message to go deeper—and that might not be pleasant, for we all have things that we try to hide, we all have aspects of ourselves that we don't want to face up to, never mind let anyone else see! This card is asking you to take a long hard look within yourself, beyond what you present to others and beyond what you already know about yourself. It's time to find the deeper truth, and in doing so, open yourself up to a richer life experience. RIGHT: The 4 of Wands In the Rider Waite Tarot, the Four of Wands is a card of celebration. According to the Quantum Tarot, it is a card of Electroweak Unified Force—and yes, I had to look that up to know what it means! It's actually kind of cool, for when you get into the physics of this, it's confirming that things that seem dissimilar are more alike the closer they are to each other. The question this card asks what are you working to successfully integrate. If this is your card for the upcoming week, it is a sign that there is some unification going on, it is reassuring you that the two seemingly different aspects can find a common ground, you just need to bring them closer to see the similarities. The more you look at where the harmonies, rather than the differences are, the more you can bring that unity into all areas of your life.  Monday Morning Musings, and dear gods there's a lot on my mind this day! I'm using the Eight Coins Tattoo Tarot by Lana Zellner. This is the deck I've been employing when doing my nightly meditations, and it's really speaking to me at the moment! This last week has been full of beginnings and endings, of laughter and tears, and of a reminder that life is precious and awesome, even in the challenging times. The cards seem to reflect that today! Monthly forecast? Weekly forecast? Daily forecast? It's up to you, you know the drill! Pick the one that calls to you, then read the reveal in the comments for a mini-reading for the week ahead, or read them all as a story-telling spread. Your reading, Your call. I'm just the messenger.. I'm still offering private readings, too, so if you want to know a little more about what the universe has in store for you, hit me up. "I'm here to help."  Left: The Hierophant This is really interesting, for this has come up a lot in the last few weeks in the personal one-on-one readings that I do for others. Basically the message is one of continuing to learn. If this is your card for the week, look for ways to push your boundaries a bit, and get out of your comfort zone. It's a fantastic time to review what you want out of life and look into learning something new or improving a current skill or interest. The Hierophan is a card of bettering yourself, but it is also a card of discipline.. He's also a reminder that sometimes the old ways, the tried and true ways, the ways of the ancestors, are a better way of doing things than the newfangled ideas pushed on us by the marketing gurus. Sometimes the 'next big thing' is merely a diversion to distract you from what your heart knows you should be doing. This card is telling you to knuckle down, take control of your decisions and your responsibilities, then spread your wings. As the quote goes, "What if I fall?" "Oh, but darling, what if you fly?" Middle: The Ten of Swords Not a very nice card, is it? If you chose this card as your message for the week, it's actually bringing you some reassurance. It's telling you that you've turned the corner and things are going to start to improve from now. It's acknowledging your pain, it's recognizing your sorrow, and it's promising that you're on your way out of the turmoil and heartache. A new day is dawning, one where you can leave all of this betrayal and upset behind you. It's telling you to look your future squarely in the face, and walk toward the sunrise just over the dark hills. Let things rest, and do not become a victim to your circumstances. It's not what happens to you that is important. It is how you respond to it. Rather than asking why this is happening to you, ask what it is here to teach you. You'll be surprised at the answers. Right: King of Swords He's a bit fierce looking, isn't he? If this is your card for the week ahead, it's a message that it is time to apply logic and reason to what you're doing, and maybe to let your head rule your heart. It's a time to get butt-naked and honest with yourself, and not to let your emotions get in the way of what you know you need to do. This may represent someone who can give you wise counsel, or it may also represent a higher—rational and sensible—aspect of yourself. He's assuring you that you have the mindset to do what you need to bring about the changes that you want to see, but you're going to have to be disciplined and responsible to get results, and that doesn't always mean things will be fun. It's okay. There's a time for work and a time for play. This is the time to get serious about what you want to achieve.  Monday Musings on Tuesday (again) because yesterday got eaten by locusts! Tarot Tuesday, then—except that I'm not using tarot cards today, I'm using The Flower Speaks oracle by Marlene Rudginsky, because, well, there is an awful lot of floral activity going on here at the moment, from the blooming weeds in the garden (ha, see what I did there) to the herbs I'm waiting on to start the smudge and incense blends. It's all go here—I love it! Monthly forecast? Weekly forecast? Daily forecast? It's up to you, you know the drill! Pick the one that calls to you, then read the reveal in the comments for a mini-reading for the week ahead, or read them all as a story-telling spread. Your reading, Your call. I'm just the messenger.. I'm still offering private readings, too, so if you want to know a little more about what the universe has in store for you, hit me up. "I'm here to help."  Left: Violet Violets are filling our yarden at the moment. Weed or flower? You decide—personally I love them and I have encouraged several different kinds to take over the shady spots and the bits around where the other plants are growing. Mark Twain once said, "Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it, and this pretty much sums up this card. It is a card of gentleness and if this is your card for the rest of the week, it's a reminder to be gentle with others but most of all with yourself. It's also a reminder that you are allowed to be your authentic self. Being you is your superpower! You don't always have to be bright like the Sun. It's okay to glow like the Moon from time to time. Middle: Water Lily In many ways, this is another card reminding you to connect with your gentler side. Water Lily reminds you to be open, to be true to yourself. It's a reminder that big boys do cry when they are full of emotion and girls don't always have to be demure and fragile. If you chose this as your card, then once again you are being encouraged to be your authentic self, to embrace all aspects of who you are, but most of all to be realistic. That's often the hard one, for emotions seem to have a mind of their own sometimes! Ask yourself; are you truly feeling this, or is it just conditioning from the past. In this day and age, true authenticity is a rare and special thing. Right: Corn My Cherokee family taught me that Selu was the corn mother and she was the one that gave the gift of life to the people. If this is your card for the rest of the week, it's asking you to look at things with a very practical eye. It's encouraging you to be nurturing to others and responsible in your commitments. Don't get so pragmatic that you forget how to laugh, though. Corn reminds you that all things are connected, and that while it's okay to take your obligations seriously, don't take yourself too seriously, though, or you will create obstacles and frustrations. Be like the corn; put your roots firmly in the ground, then reach for the stars.  And now once again for your cerebral pleasure, here are the Monday Musings—which did not get posted last week because life happened. I've returned to the colorful images of the Eight Coins Tattoo Tarot by Lana Zellner this week. This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite decks. Even after nearly 40 years of working with this stuff, these cards are teaching me new angles and insights—and that's not a bad thing! Monthly forecast? Weekly forecast? Daily forecast? It's up to you, you know the drill! Pick the one that calls to you for a mini-reading for the week ahead, or read them all as a story-telling spread. Your reading, Your call. I'm just the messenger.. I'm still offering private readings, too, so if you want to know a little more about what the universe has in store for you, hit me up. "I'm here to help."  Left: The King of Wands If you've chosen this card as your card for the week, then the message for you is that you need to focus. You've got the vision, you've got the potential, but a dream without action is destined to remain a wish. How much do you want it? How hard are you prepared to work for it? The walls are not there to keep you out. The hurdles are not there to trip you up. These things are there to make you prove how badly you want to succeed, and keep the others who don't burn as passionately as you do out of your way, so you can keep your eyes on your goals without being distracted by them or in competition with them. Just make sure that your plans are realistic, and don't be scared to ask for help when you need it. Stay in your lane; this is the week to go places! Middle: The Nine of Pentacles This card appeared not too long ago, and if this is your card it is showing you that yes, the success is there, but at what cost? There's nothing wrong with being the proverbial 'self-made man' (or woman), there's nothing wrong with having opulence and wealth, but this card is asking you what are you prepared to sacrifice to get it? Is the trade off worth it? There's no right or wrong answer. Just remember that high success often brings with it more responsibility and greater expectations. If your lifestyle is making you feel cluttered or trapped, then the message from this card is that it may be time to reevaluate your priorities. Right: The Ten of Cups This is one of the most uplifting cards in the entire deck, and if you chose this card, it's time to sit back and enjoy your accomplishments. There should be some sunny days and smooths sailing ahead for you, at least for the meanwhile. It's time to slow down to the speed of life and to enjoy the simple pleasures; a relaxing cuppa, a warm hug, a job well done. It's also time to share that happiness with others, particularly the ones who were there when perhaps the days weren't so sunny, or when you needed someone to be there for you. Remember, in many traditions it is not the person who has the most who is the richest, but the person who has given the most away. If you have more than you need, build a longer table, not a higher wall.  And now once again for your cerebral pleasure, here are the Monday Musings! This week's deck may seem familiar to you for those of you who were at Karmakon this weekend or who have had in-person readings from me in the past, for it is my go-to deck, the Tarot of the Cloisters by Michelle Leavitt. I've been using this deck for over 15 years. I'm enthralled by the stained glass colors (and after the heartache in Paris last week, they seem doubly appropriate) . It took me a while to get used to using a round deck, but now that I am, I have to say that they are my favorite. Every card has 360° of interpretation—as opposed to upside down or right way up of the more traditional rectangular shapes. For me, this adds another dimension to the reading, one with which I resonate deeply. It's probably got something to do with all those years studying round astrology maps, or celebrating in sacred circles! But I digress... Monthly forecast? Weekly forecast? Daily forecast? It's up to you, you know the drill! Pick the one that calls to you for a mini-reading for the week ahead, or read them all as a story-telling spread. Your reading, Your call. I'm just the messenger.. I'm still offering private readings, too, so if you want to know a little more about what the universe has in store for you, hit me up. "I'm here to help."  Left: The Hanged Man (inverted) If this is your card for the week, it's a sure sign that you have let things get on top of you. You're feeling angry, frustrated, hurt, and you can't seem to see the wood for the trees. Everything feels upside down at the moment. You know you should be doing something, but you'e hanged if you can see what that something is! You may even be spinning your wheels, focusing on everything but what you need to focus on. You're allowing other people or other circumstances to steal your thunder, and it's time to stop. This is a sign to slow down to the speed of life and find your feet again. It's not as bad as it seems, you're just not in the best place to see all your options. If you're hesitating to do something, thinking that you're not ready yet or that another time might be better, then the inverted Hanged Man is asking you to look at that, too. There's no such thing as 'perfect timing.' Pause to find your new mindset, and then get out there and shine like the diamond you were born to be. Middle: Ten of Pentacles (3 o'clock) The Ten of Pentacles is a card about completion. If you look at the way it's laying, you'll see that it's only a quarter turn in on its circular journey. If this is the card you chose, it means that you've got success coming, but there's still some work to do and a potential storm to navigate before you reap the rewards. It's asking you to pause and think; do you really want what you are pursuing? Is the reward worth the additional responsibility? Had you even thought about that side of things? This card is asking you to take a good hard look at your long-term goals. It's not too late to change things before they get on top of you. Sometimes less is more. This is also a reminder that your self-worth isn't measured by what you have; authentic empowerment comes from being who you are, being genuine and true to yourself, and if you are happy with that little cabin in the woods, don't let the marketing spin doctors convince you that you need the lakeside mansion. It's not a race, it's a journey. Stay in your own lane, and you will succeed. Right: The Tower (9 o'clock) The Tower is always a card of change. I'm a big believer in choosing to change, rather than having change thrust upon me, and if the Tower is your card this week, it's all change, baby, yeah. The good news is the worst of the storm is behind you, for the card is well on its way to being upright again. Never forget that the same lightning bolt that ignited the fire is the flame of purification and the light of clarity. The structure may blaze, but it is on solid rock, it can be rebuilt, stronger and better. Let what no longer supports you self-destruct, for in doing so it makes room for new and better things. You are evolving, burning away the past, and building a new future. Even though some of what is lost in the fire may be painful, it is a necessary step in your soul's evolution. This is a life-changing event, and it does not have to be the fire of destruction. Face it, claim it, and allow it to be the blaze of awakening and transformation. 
And now once again for your cerebral pleasure, here are the Monday Musings! This week's deck is a quirky little oracle, loosely based on the tarot, called The Jesus Deck by Rev Ralph M Moore. I figured it was Easter week, so why not? I love the 70s' style artwork, and the way that the 'suits' tell the stories of the four gospels. There's just something very captivating about the way that this deck is put together. It goes up to gimmicky, but never quite crosses the line. I hope you enjoy the images as much as I do. Monthly forecast? Weekly forecast? Daily forecast? It's up to you, you know the drill! Pick the one that calls to you for a mini-reading for the week ahead, or read them all as a story-telling spread. Your reading, Your call. I'm just the messenger.. I'm still offering private readings, too, so if you want to know a little more about what the universe has in store for you, hit me up. "I'm here to help."  Left: 8 of Mark, The Trial This card pretty much says it all, and if you've chosen this card, then be prepared for some trials this week. Pay particular attention to your own business. Stay in your own lane, true to your own tenets and beliefs Don't let gossip or other people's issues distract you from your own goals, and what you know in your heart is right for you. Keep your eyes on the big yellow sun in the distance and pay no attention to the robed figures around the table, for they're going to form their own opinions, regardless of your persuasion. No matter how perfect the rose, there are still going to be those who don't like flowers. They're not your people, so shake it off and move along. Middle: 3 of John, The Preparation Have you been feeling a bit listless lately, patiently waiting for something to change yet nothing seems to be happening? If this is the card you chose, it is the universe—or God or the ascended masters or however you perceive your divinity—reminding you that very often there are things happening behind the scenes. You may be unaware of them, but they're happening all the same. The green in the background promises productivity and the sky is clear with the moon and stars lighting your way. Trust the process. It's all part of the cycle. Right: 10 of John, Peter If you've chosen this card, then take it as a sign that something you've been seeking or something you've been hoping to hear is about to come your way The news is usually good, but even if the outcome isn't exactly what you wanted to hear, you will be able to get closure and move on into the next stage of your awareness. If you have been contemplating committing yourself to a new project or stepping up your game in some way, this card is an affirmation that the time is now, and the place is here. Step out of your comfort zone, and see what happens next. You may be surprised at your capabilities.  And now once again for your cerebral pleasure, here are the Monday Musings! This week's deck is another oracle, as opposed to the tarot; The Cards of Winds and Changes by Judith Pintar. It also was one of the very first oracles I purchased way back in the day, and I still deeply resonate with it. Monthly forecast? Weekly forecast? Daily forecast? It's up to you, you know the drill! Pick the one that calls to you for a mini-reading for the week ahead, or read them all as a story-telling spread. Your reading, Your call. I'm just the messenger.. I'm still offering private readings, too, so if you want to know a little more about what the universe has in store for you, hit me up. "I'm here to help."  Left: All That Is If this is the card that you chose, it is reminding you that the sum of the parts is greater than the individual pieces. It's reminding you that you are part of a bigger design, that you and your situations and the people in your life are all part of a grand scheme. It's time to rise above yourself and see how you are meshing with everything else that's going on around you. Like it or not, you're interdependent on them, in some way or another. Perhaps they are there to support you, or maybe it's your turn to lend a hand. Maybe they're there to challenge you, to encourage you to break free from a toxic situation or leave a relationship that is no longer viable, so that you can continue your soul's evolution. The lesson this card brings is that no matter what you do, it is going to have a ripple effect on the people in your life. Keep your thoughts optimistic and your words empowered. Sow good seeds where possible—and if you look hard enough, you'll find it is always possible.
