25. STORM

Chaos, anger, turbulence

In difficult and turbulent times, remember this too shall pass.

Created by a violent disturbance of the atmosphere, Storm is a big, dramatic release after a build-up. She is characterised by powerful winds, rain, hail, thunder and lightning. Storm may rage furiously and unexpectedly, sometimes causing fear and destruction. She is an expression of clearing the build-up, a necessary outburst to restore order and calm once again. Storm's song is chaotic - loud with passion and anger. Her sudden outburst is like a tantrum, unpredictable and uncontrollable. There is no rationalising with her or soothing her until she is ready to stop. She symbolises difficulty and turbulence.

Storm symbolises times of difficulty. You may be experiencing some sudden hardship or life may just seem uncontrollably chaotic. This is a sign that things have been building up, perhaps unbeknown to you, and they can no longer be suppressed. Unexpected challenges may be thrown at you, and you may feel caught off guard. You may be dealing with confrontations and conflict. You must face these hardships head on and be prepared for things to get worse before they get better. However, you are equipped to deal with these times of trouble. You have the strength and wisdom it takes to ride out these turbulent times. Allow yourself to feel everything that Storm stirs up inside you to the utmost degree. In doing so, you will process and move through these feelings, ensuring they are dealt with so they don't build up again. Remember - Storm shall pass. You shall have peace again.
