spiritual strength, restoration

The dance of stillness is calling for you to live in its embrace.

There are many ways to experience rest and self-care and you are being guided to explore the ways you need to heal at this time. Look beyond the most obvious choices of rest and relaxation, although these are worthy pursuits, because typically this card indicates a need to experience a spiritual restoration such as spending more time in meditation and prayer, communicating with your guides or ancestors or developing a spiritual self-care practice that might manifest in working with herbs, tarot cards, something related to your culture’s mysticism or the natural cycles of the seasons.

It’s important to establish a regular practice of spiritual nourishment rather than anything that is one-off. Having a ritual grounds your energy, allowing you to build your soul’s strength, which will make it easier when you inevitably find yourself facing the harsh realities and responsibilities everyone faces throughout a lifetime.
