Your Card

RECOVERY AND RESTART

Time and space is needed for you, or others, to recover – before restarting. This card is about healing from experiences which are challenging, perhaps even shocking. A bolt from the blue is an electrical storm, or a lightning strike, which can suddenly turn the world upside-down, or appear to do so. Landing on your feet is a good thing, or even landing as best you can. Yet, it may take a fair bit of time to ground and centre. To get one’s breath back and take stock of a very, very new situation. The lay of the land will be different once a rather stormy period is over. It’s a new world. There is no question of going back. You have to move forwards.

The great unknown is waiting! This is like a book which has not been written yet. How are you going to ‘write’ your future life story or the script of your life? How will others do this? There are usually a couple of people involved when this card turns up, and this may be yourself and him/her or perhaps two people you know. It is possible there are others, not on your radar, who are also being rattled and even shaken by tremendous change. It is very important that dreams, hopes, wishes and desires are clear. How can you set out on the right path towards what is needed if there is no firm certainty about the goals? It is very important to use a journal; to have a Vision Board; to use Pinterest; to say it aloud.

Even if all that is found is an approximation of the dream, it may be enough until the real thing appears. And it is also true that sometimes you have to make the dream. People have to reach inside themselves for qualities they can trade on, or use. There is often a sense with this card that there is nothing there, except oneself. All baggage had to be left behind, and has vanished. Yet, within the personality, all manner of useful resources can be retrieved. This is the currency of the new world. You trade on what you have, within. If you feel you do not have enough to trade on, you can learn it. Cultivate it. Become who you need to be.
