Necessities

From the Deirdre of the Sorrows Tarot, the Four of Wands; from the Victorian Flower Oracle, Sweet Pea:

The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.

— Saint Augustine

In this card, newlyweds move in to their new home, ready to build a life together. The Four of Wands suggests a foundation has been successfully laid, but more work will be required to complete the project. Before we rush in, however, Sweet Pea suggests we consider necessities above preferences. This flower won't thrive without consistent moisture. Morning watering and drip or furrow irrigation is better to prevent bud drop and fungal infections. No matter what kind of 'garden' we're creating, we would do well to add in any requirements to satisfy what is needed rather than thinking we can deal with it later.
