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."

The Shine of True Colors

From the Osho Zen Tarot, Silence (the Star); from the A'HA Oracle, Integrity:

 

The thing about chameleoning your way through life is that it gets to where nothing is real.
― John Green

It's a humbling experience to have a strategy and big goals, to think we have expertise that will see us through, and then suddenly our plans crash. We realize how very little we actually knew and understood. The Star/Silence suggests a time of healing that will require stillness and receptivity. Instead of talking, we listen; rather than fantasizing, we contemplate what went wrong. Otherwise, we'll be stuck on a rinse and repeat cycle. Integrity means our words and actions are shaped by ethical principles in all circumstances. Like the cracked egg in this illustration, it doesn't imply we are perfect but that we are genuine and sincere. Rather than hide our mistakes and flaws, we learn from and try to transform them. Peace of mind always outweighs appearances.
