What's Planted is What Grows

From the Nature Spirit Tarot, the Chariot; from the Australian Wildflower Reading Cards, Five Corners:

          In this chariot rides a belted kingfisher, a bird that sits on high tree branches and then fearlessly dives headfirst into the water when it sees its target. Its vehicle is pulled by two alligators, one being a rare albino (while one might enjoy the sun, the other definitely would not). These alligators are fitting symbols for the emotions and instincts of humans that so often thwart logic or the will. But self-discipline - rather than fight or flight - is what is needed to make progress toward the goal. Five Corners is named for the five lobes that turn back on each tubular bloom of this shrub. Flowers later turn into a  five-sided greenish-red drupe. The keyword 'development' for this card suggests that what we are nurturing now (the direction we're headed) is what will create the shape of our result. 

We are the fruit of our past and we are the architects of our future.
