Sliding to the Middle

This week I'll be using the Light and Shadow Tarot; the artwork was created by Michael Goepferd, its booklet written by Brian Williams, and its publisher is Inner Traditions. The oracle deck I'll be using is one I created called Art Rounds using pen and watercolor. Today's draws are Justice and Zinnia:

My relationship to reality has been so utterly skewed for so long that I don't even notice it anymore. It's just my reality. —Ethan Hawke

This Justice has the symbols for Alpha and Omega on her scales, the first and last letters of the Greek Alphabet. There is a continuum of thought and behavior, from one extreme to another, and sitting at either end for very long can quickly unbalance those scales. There are times when an extreme may be necessary, but we aren't meant to stay there. If we do, we begin to view life from a skewed perspective. Zinnia is an easy-to-grow, sun loving flower that bees and butterflies love. Available in a range of bright colors, it is a cheery addition in the garden. Zinnia represents warmth, beauty and joy; if we've been without any of these for too long, our attitude and outlook will end up on one imbalanced end or the other. It's time to make these things a priority.
