I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Growing Season

From the Mandala Astrological Tarot, the Eight of Wands; from the Sabian Symbols, 'Gemini 25:'
          The abundance of Jupiter meets with the expansion of Sagittarius, creating sudden growth and development. The two squares of the octagram represent integration; rather than chaos, this advancement is stable and balanced. This is not some random occurrence, but a goal that has been planned and worked toward. The Sabian Symbol describes a gardener pruning old, dead palm fronds, allowing nothing to detract from the beauty of the tree. The combination of this card draw and roll suggest cleaning out in order to make room for this growth, much like discarding outdated food in one's pantry. There are some things not worth holding on to.
Everything has seasons, and we have to be able to recognize when something's time has passed and be able to move into the next season. Everything that is alive requires pruning as well, which is a great metaphor for endings. ~Henry Cloud

    I look forward to seasonal changes, without them it is hard to measure progress. On the other hand I think daylight savings is the epitome of boondoggle

      I'm still trying to educate three cats on daylight savings and explain why breakfast got moved back an hour.😁
