4. Lotus

Purity, resilience, revival

Overcome obstacles through resilience and faith.

Lotus is a beautiful flower that grows in muddy waters. Not only does she find sanctuary in a place most would perish; she experiences rebirth every day. Every morning, the lotus emerges from the murky water, opening herself and blooming in all her glory. Then, when night falls, Lotus retreats into the water until it is time to rise again the next day. This display of continuous retreat and emergence is a sign of her resilience. She experiences continuous revival, from the dark depths to daylight. Lotus's seed is also uniquely able to withstand thousands of years without water. The song of Lotus is loud and strong, a song of unwavering faith and determination. Despite coming from darkness, Lotus represents showing up every day, despite it all.

When Lotus appears it suggests you have had to show resilience and determination. Continue to have faith in your path and keep showing up. No matter what hardships you encounter, remember that you possess the strength to face and overcome them. Perhaps where you started from was challenging or difficult, and it may seem hard to break out of that. However, remind yourself of all the things you have gone through, and yet you found yourself blooming again, despite it all. You can create beauty in your life without luxurious or extravagant things. You can go through difficult situations and still maintain your unique, pure essence; don't be hardened by life. You will certainly encounter a beautiful rebirth.
