2. Butterflies

breakthrough, transcendence, profound change

Here in the unknown you will find the essence of who you really are and what magick awaits.

The humble caterpillar melting down and rebuilding itself into a stunning butterfly is one of the most beautiful symbols of transformation the world has ever seen, and talk about an extreme makeover! A caterpillar essentially digests itself by releasing special enzymes within the chrysalis that dissolve its tissues into a soup of proteins that are then used to rebuild the body, forming its wings, legs and the rest of its anatomy. A caterpillar’s willingness to completely break itself down is what leads to such profound change: it may be difficult, but it knows it has outgrown its current state and it’s time to set itself free.

You are in the midst of a profound breakthrough and are about to transcend your understanding of who you were until this point. Spiritual signs come so rarely in the form of a huge flashing billboard, but in this case you can expect something truly dramatic to shake up your way of being. Whether or not this change is the result of a devastating event or a happy coincidence is unknown at this point. Either way, your life will look completely different a year from now as a result of what happens in the coming months. Pay special attention to synchronicities and dreams, as they are appearing to get your attention. They are your confirmation that what is happening is meant for you and you should continue to follow the threads. Additionally, this card is validation of a desire to make a significant life change and it means 'Yes' when asking yes or no questions.
