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."

Barely Speaking

From the Tarot of the Absurd, the Two of Blades; from the Post-psychedelic Cyberpunk Oracle, the Orchid:


The fact is, the heart and mind aren't always friendly. And in my case, they're barely speaking.
—Alyson Noel

It appears the mind and heart are at cross purposes, each with its own intentions and goals. How do we come to a decision, having to choose between a logical choice and a compassionate one? First, don't rush into anything. Second, consider the Orchid, a lovely flower that's "easy" to grow once you understand and create all its ideal conditions (and there are a lot). This plant reminds us that simply making a decision is not the end of things - we must then continue to follow through with whatever energy, time and support it will require. To which of these are we willing to make such a commitment?
