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."

Things That Pass

From the New Era Elements Tarot, the Sun; from the Tao Oracle, Hexagram 48:


The Sun represents clarity, energy and joy. After dealing with brain fog from the anesthesia, sleeplessness in the hospital, and pain, I'm more than ready to embrace this card and its meaning. I am reminded by the sunflowers that we all go through days of darkness and uncertainty, planted deep in the soil, but eventually we emerge into the sun if we continue to rise. Hexagram 48 is often known as The Well, a deep dive within beyond outer influences and the ego. At the core of our being we find spaciousness, clarity and wisdom, as well as compassion for ourselves and others. Here the seed of resilience is planted. Here we find the true sunshine that will help us grow.

She would shine again regardless
of all the storms and changeable weather
She wouldn't adjust her purpose
for things that pass.
