Earth – Nurture
We need to nurture ourselves and our dreams and hopes.
Nurturing ourselves helps us manifest the dreams we hope for. Nurturing means to take care of ourselves and recognise what is not working for us and change it or discard it.
Another way to think about nurturing yourself is to rest and recharge. Not in the way some colleagues refer to it when they come back from a vacation energized to do more and better for the company. The company is not them, their heart and mind, it is external and does not reward in the way recharging a person’s spirit does.
This week, do something for yourself, not for others who will not do the same for you in return.
Spirit of the River – Movement Toward Adventure
A matching theme in this card. The Earth card asked you to nurture yourself. Spirit of the River asks you to go with the flow and stop trying to swim against the current. The current may be dreams that are no longer part of your life, or where never meant to be part of your life.
Perhaps a friend or relative followed their dream, and you looked at it and thought that you should follow it as well. It was not your dream and not meant for you. You have been swimming against the flow of your life and spirit all this time and now you must stop!
Gather yourself and go with the flow of your life. Manifest what is right for you. What is meant for you and expand the meaning of this card “Movement Toward Adventure.”
You are being asked to move toward Adventure in this first month of the New Year, you are not being asked to stand and resist the flow of your life path purpose. Move on!
What next?
