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."

Leap or Lie Down

From the Prisma Visions Tarot, the Fool; from the Secret Language of Color, Mauve:

At the end of all rationality, there is simply the need to decide and the faith to live through, to endure. 
― Ken Liu

A pelican watches from a post as a wolf struggles in the ocean. The Fool invites us to trust and take a risk, to be willing to try something new. In business, a calculated risk is one that exposes a person to a degree of danger that is counterbalanced by a reasonable possibility of benefit. It acknowledges that there may be loss or hazards, but it also suggests that logic has been applied and there is a greater chance of a beneficial return. Trust implies vulnerability, but it doesn't mean we need to be completely heedless. Mauve is one of those colors that is hard to describe: it's kind of pink and sort of purple. At some point, we must make a decision, or else our choice will be made by our indecisiveness. After all, even those choices that were a mistake can help us learn.
