There is something magical about coming together with other skilled professionals to make a piece of exquisite art. This is a cocreated energy that allows all involved to shine, with each person knowing their expertise and never once overstepping or impinging upon the other. This well-oiled machine can create magical things that pass the test of time, and others will marvel at for years to come. When we drop the need for competition and come together in collaboration, we can make truly incredible masterpieces. Sometimes, we just aren't meant to go it alone, and this is one of those times. Reach out to others and bring together a team that has the power and the potential to create dreams in your waking moments.
Challenger
It is easy to feel intimidated by the gifts of others. You may even feel like they are just being kind to you for considering you to be a part of their team. This is not the case. Your perception about your skill is all you. You have not allowed yourself to step up and claim your place at the table, or in this case, the clock! Opportunity is ticking; you are being given a chance to shine, yet you have to make a decision to take it, or allow yourself doubt to talk you out of something marvelous.
Visual Description
A large ornate gilded throne or mechanical structure dominates the scene, its high back forming a heart-like opening filled with clockwork gears and three star-shaped pentacles. Tiny hooded figures move on the structure: two higher up seem to push or adjust cog-like pentacles while a third smaller figure below works with a pencil or tool on a cushion. A winding crank and other workshop details are visible at the right, and heavy draped curtains and star motifs fill the background. At the bottom a red banner reads 'THREE OF PENTACLES.'
