35. Waterfall

Relinquishing, purifying, flowing

Relinquish control and take the plunge.

Waterfall is a point in a river or stream where the water drops over an edge. Waterfall may vary in shape and appearance, depending on the force of the river and the surface over which it flows. After it makes its fall, the water collects in a plunge pool below before the river regathers itself and continues flowing onwards. Waterfall provides purification as she oxygenates the water with her great movement. This provides a richer environment for the fish and plants that live in the river or on its banks. The song Waterfall sings is of letting go, cleansing, and the continuous flow of energy and life. She makes the drop without fear or hesitation, safe in the knowledge that she will continue on her journey. In relinquishing control and going with the flow, Waterfall offers purification and renewal.

The appearance of Waterfall suggests your perception is shifting and you are about to undergo important changes. Whether it be a new relationship, career path, creative endeavour or travel opportunity, this is not a time of stagnation; you are being encouraged to say 'yes' to new things. You may not have all the answers, but taking a leap of faith will open you to exciting opportunities. Waterfall encourages you to embody its very essence: to release control, to proceed without hesitation and go with the flow. Have faith that you can regather after this big change and continue on your journey with a new sense of clarity and purity. It is time to relinquish things that no longer serve you and venture into the unknown. Allow your intuition to guide you. Take the leap of faith.
