From the Vision Quest Tarot, the Eight of Earth (Pentacles); from the Bird Signs/Ascension to Paradise Cards, Loon:
The Thoth keyword for this card is 'prudence,' while the Vision Quest calls it 'inner order.' It is easy to over expend our energy and other resources when all the world seems to be a mess. Order in our environment does seem to help with inner calm, but we can't line up all the ducks and expect them to stay that way. Attempts to control are not the answer. Yet there are always a few practical things we can do, even if it's only to pay a bill, make a bed, or organize a drawer. Loon's song is often used in movies to denote secluded natural settings and suspense. Its deep dives for food suggest we look within for the insecurities exacerbating the disorder we're focusing on in the outer world. We might practice self-compassion while challenging our assumptions and expectations. Identifying our triggers, like too much social media or TV news, and staying away from them might also be of help. Meanwhile, keep organizing your sock drawer.
