3 Frog (Water)

The frog is an amphibian that lives both in and out of the water at various phases. It is best known for the dramatic changes it goes through during its lifecycle, starting as an egg laid underwater, then becoming a tadpole with gills and a long tail. Eventually it goes through a middle phase where it grows legs and lungs and the gills and tail disappear. The adult transformed frog lives on land, although it still spends time in the water, and symbolizes metamorphosis.

This card is an indication that changes are coming or you’re in the midst of them already. They are inevitable, so you should probably just try and go with the flow as gracefully as possible. Metamorphosis isn’t always a comfortable process, but the end result will be worth it. Maybe the changes aren’t huge, but they’re probably important, so you should pay attention to what’s going on.

We resist change because it is scary to go from the familiar and comfortable to something new, but there is no growth without change. If you have been hanging on to the past or to things that no longer work for you—jobs, relationships, beliefs, behavior patterns—now may be the time to embrace change and allow yourself to transform into someone different. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks, just whether the metamorphosis will be a change for the better. What areas of your life need frog magic?
