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."

Color Outside of the Lines

From Hadar's Le Veritable Tarot de Marseille, the Queen of Staves (Wands); from the Greek Alphabet Runes, 'Chi:'
          Another Queen is back today; this one encourages people to create something beautiful or useful. She rallies people to do something with the minds and bodies they've been given. All humans have the ability to create, but our diversity means that we have different skills. Some may be artists, wordsmiths, relationship builders or problem solvers. This Queen appreciates all skill sets - but only if they're put to use and not gathering dust. Chi is a letter that has been used to represent Euler's Principle in geometry. Basically, for any polyhedron that doesn't intersect itself, the number of faces plus the number of corner points minus the number of edges always equals 2. While stability and reliability are great qualities, in the case of creativity it can lead to the 'same old same old.' Take a look at the Queen of Staves expression and body language as she glances over at Chi. This queen would definitely recommend taking a risk by stepping outside the norm in order to produce something original.
