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."

Move On

From the Delta Enduring Tarot, the Seven of Cast Irons (Pentacles); from the Southernisms Oracle, 'That field's been plowed:'

Approach it honestly, assess your performance, and assess the areas where you have fallen short. Correct them and move on. Don't dwell on it. Don't hold on to it.
~Megan Rapinoe

This young man has patiently amended the soil, planted the seeds, watered the sprouts, and carefully managed any pests; his reward is a bounty of ripe tomatoes. I don't know of any gardener - whether they grow flowers, fruits and vegetables, shrubs or trees - who managed to hit a home run the first  time they ever tried to cultivate a plant. It requires a process of mistakes and learning as well as the blessing of good weather. 'That field's been plowed' is a saying that refers to over-thinking and analyzing. If we're so consumed with perfection, we'll miss the enjoyment of the harvest. If we're caught in a loop of trying to find a once-and-for-all solution to a problem, we'll never be satisfied and miss taking any action that might have helped. Move on.
