8. Composting

trash to treasure, reducing waste, recognizing blessings

It is through remembrance of the past that you can create a more purposeful future.

Composting is a sustainable practice of turning what most would consider waste into a valuable regenerative fertilizer for plants. Not only can it help enrich your own garden, but it diverts organic material from landfills and significantly reduces a potent gas emission called methane, contributing to the well-being of the entire planet. Spiritual composting invites you to adopt an eco-conscious mindset for all areas of your life. Whether your reading is about love or finance, career or purpose, this card encourages you to find ways to turn setbacks into opportunities, creating a richer soil for the future.

In relationships, consider how you can use your challenges for opportunities to grow as a partnership. In the words of the great Ted Lasso, 'Every choice is a chance.' You can choose to focus on what’s broken, or you can view your challenges as an opportunity to fertilize the foundation of your relationship. Perhaps this is your moment to find a new way to move forward rather than investing in what you know hasn’t worked in the past.

In career or finances, this card guides you to turn mistakes into valuable lessons. Consider how you can grow and adopt a better strategy as a result of your setbacks. Additionally, how can you bring a more sustainable approach to your goals? You may need to reduce waste by creating a tighter budget or optimizing efficiency. In general, this card is about reducing your footprint, both literally and metaphorically. Make use of what you have and turn your waste into blessings.
