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."

Hanging On

From the Sun and Moon Tarot, the Nine of Wands; from the Jade Oracle, Mayahuel:

But grace can be the experience of a second wind, when even though what you want is clarity and resolution, what you get is stamina and poignancy and the strength to hang on. 
―Anne Lamott

Just when we think we have hit a wall, when we are too tired to endure another minute, we get a second wind. We find a reservoir of untapped strength and a renewal of purpose and determination. It's just what we need to get us to the finish line. Mayahuel is a goddess associated with the maguey plant (of the genus Agave). It was used for a variety of purposes - from rope and clothes to an alcoholic beverage. Mayahuel is symbolic of all that which nourishes and sustains us, the basic necessities we need as well as what motivates us to thrive and survive.
